The beauty of waking up is knowing that you're waking up clothed in the light and life of Christ. The privilege and honor of waking up knowing that you are a joint heir to the Kingdom of God brings a joy like no other and a peace that surpasses all understanding. These are things that the Lord promises you when you become a child of God. His word is full of promises that shall come to pass and never come back void. Shall means it will come to pass. You can stand on it. There are prerequisites for walking in the blessings of God. The will of God is not automatic though. Believe in the word of God wholeheartedly. God stands on business when it comes to his word. God is not human, that he should lie, not a human being, that he should change his mind. Does he speak and then not act? Does he promise and not fulfill? The blessings and prosperity of God shouldn't always equate to material or monetary gain. Those things will follow but the wealth of the mind, spirit and heart will out way it all.
Proverb 2
Moral Benefits of Wisdom
2 My son, if you accept my words
and store up my commands within you,
2 turning your ear to wisdom
and applying your heart to understanding—
3 indeed, if you call out for insight
and cry aloud for understanding,
4 and if you look for it as for silver
and search for it as for hidden treasure,
5 then you will understand the fear of the Lord
and find the knowledge of God.
6 For the Lord gives wisdom;
from his mouth come knowledge and understanding.
7 He holds success in store for the upright,
he is a shield to those whose walk is blameless,
8 for he guards the course of the just
and protects the way of his faithful ones.
9 Then you will understand what is right and just
and fair—every good path.
10 For wisdom will enter your heart,
and knowledge will be pleasant to your soul.
11 Discretion will protect you,
and understanding will guard you.
12 Wisdom will save you from the ways of wicked men,
from men whose words are perverse,
13 who have left the straight paths
to walk in dark ways,
14 who delight in doing wrong
and rejoice in the perverseness of evil,
15 whose paths are crooked
and who are devious in their ways.
16 Wisdom will save you also from the adulterous woman,
from the wayward woman with her seductive words,
17 who has left the partner of her youth
and ignored the covenant she made before God.
18 Surely her house leads down to death
and her paths to the spirits of the dead.
19 None who go to her return
or attain the paths of life.
20 Thus you will walk in the ways of the good
and keep to the paths of the righteous.
21 For the upright will live in the land,
and the blameless will remain in it;
22 but the wicked will be cut off from the land,
and the unfaithful will be torn from it.
The Joy, the peace, the hope, the happiness, the love, the fulfillment of purpose that your heart earnestly desires is fulfilled when your spirit is united with Christ. He is the creator and sustainer of life. That's what ignites the light of life in your life. That regeneration process will serenade your spirit, mind, body and quickens your soul to life. It brings joy to your soul. The term walking dead is real. That is not the will of God for humanity. You were called to be great in Christ. Be transformed by the renewing of your mind because the yoke breaking anointing is in the word of God. Activate the measure of will that he planted in you to increase the measures of Faith in him who you were created to worship. Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God. Always remember that. Stay connected to the vine.
He created you to be more than what you believe you are, what circumstances say you are, what the Dr says you are, the experiences you dealt with or whatever it is that you're holding onto or going through. Our God is a God of refuge, a God of Redemption. He is Jehovah Rapha, the Lord our Healer. Jehovah Rohi: The Lord our Shepherd. Jehovah Jireh: The Lord our Provider. Jehovah Shalom: The Lord is peace. Jehovah Tsidkenu: The Lord our Righteousness and one thing that we can count on is ElRoi: The God who sees all. Jesus: Yahweh is Salvation. Get to know your God and draw unto him through the spirit of our Lord. To experience him now is no comparison. It's the true high when you're connected to the source of life. Nor will they say, ‘See here!’ or ‘See there!’ For indeed, the kingdom of God is within you.
The answer is Jesus Christ and always has been Jesus Christ. ElChuwl: The God who gave you birth. Many people exist but don't live. The spark of life that you're looking for when your feeling empty is quenched when the Holy Spirit fulfills your soul. When the revelation of Jesus Christ hits you, you’ll see how he's capable of healing the inner most parts of you that remain hidden from the world that cripples your life from within. He's Omniscience, He's Omnipotence and Omnipresence. We praise and honor God for who he is and what he's done for us.God is the definition of Faithful.
Whatever hurt, shame, guilt, condemnation, pain or whatever it is that you're carrying, Jesus is asking for it. Give me that and I’ll give you this. The message and work of the cross is everything to a believer. It's the greatest transaction ever known. He is the redeemer of mankind. We were never meant to carry what we’re holding onto. He still whispers in a small voice as the anointed one:
Matthew 11:28:29
28 Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”
See Jesus is the King. The Anointed one, the everlasting God. Everything that's been created is created by and through him. It all begins with him as he stood side by side with God as the master craftsmen shaping the boundaries of earth. The Lord God formed us from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being. See we have to understand that: From one man he made all the nations, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and he marked out their appointed times in history and the boundaries of their lands. 27 God did this so that they would seek him and perhaps reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from any one of us. 28 ‘For in him we live and move and have our being.
It all begins with repentance. Repentance and accepting Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior.
Galatians 6:1-18
Doing Good to All
6 Brothers and sisters, if someone is caught in a sin, you who live by the Spirit should restore that person gently. But watch yourselves, or you also may be tempted. 2 Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ. 3 If anyone thinks they are something when they are not, they deceive themselves. 4 Each one should test their own actions. Then they can take pride in themselves alone, without comparing themselves to someone else, 5 for each one should carry their own load. 6 Nevertheless, the one who receives instruction in the word should share all good things with their instructor.
7 Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows. 8 Whoever sows to please their flesh, from the flesh will reap destruction; whoever sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life. 9 Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. 10 Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers.
Not Circumcision but the New Creation
11 See what large letters I use as I write to you with my own hand! 12 Those who want to impress people by means of the flesh are trying to compel you to be circumcised. The only reason they do this is to avoid being persecuted for the cross of Christ. 13 Not even those who are circumcised keep the law, yet they want you to be circumcised that they may boast about your circumcision in the flesh. 14 May I never boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world. 15 Neither circumcision nor uncircumcision means anything; what counts is the new creation. 16 Peace and mercy to all who follow this rule—to[b] the Israel of God.17 From now on, let no one cause me trouble, for I bear on my body the marks of Jesus.18 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brothers and sisters. Amen.
Sinner’s prayer for salvation
Lord Jesus, this is my simple prayer to you. I know that I am a sinner and that I often fall short of the glory of God. No longer will I close the door when I hear You knocking. By faith, I gratefully receive Your gift of salvation. I'm ready to trust You as my Lord and Savior. Thank You, Lord Jesus, for coming to Earth. I believe You are the Son of God who died on the cross for my sins and rose from the dead on the third day. Thank You for Your forgiveness of sins and for giving me the gift of eternal life. I invite Jesus to come into my heart and be my Savior. In the name of Jesus, Amen.
Sinner’s prayer for forgiveness
Dear God, this is my prayer of salvation. I know that I'm a sinner, and there's nothing I can do to save myself. But because of the resurrection of Jesus Christ, I can be saved. I confess my complete helplessness to forgive my own sin. At this moment, I trust Christ alone as the One who bore my sin when He died on the cross. He did all that will ever be necessary for me to stand in Your holy presence. Jesus is Lord and the gift of God. Because of Your grace, I'm born again. I'm grateful that You've promised to receive me despite my many sins and failures. Father, I take You at Your word. I thank You that I can face death now that You're my Savior. Thank You for the assurance that You'll walk with me through the deep valley. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
