The word does not need to be protected, it needs to be unleashed. My book '12 trail Ride' is a great help to understand the Holy Spirit and the word. You can buy it in the book store here on this site.

Now choose life.

What you are about to read is meat, and it will take time to understand completely. It will take the Holy Spirit to discern. Read then spend quality time with God, ask for Him to have His way with you. This is a better way so He can download what you need and take out what you do not need. All you have to do give Him permission. Then be still, it is OK to get drunk in the spirit with Him. This one kind of intoxicated (drunk) that does not give you a hangover or empty wallet or purse… smile. Yet be careful before driving ask god to sober you up, you can bet a DUI ticket. For all purposes of the world you are under the influence when in this state. If you do not understand this ask your Holy Spirit to bring someone to you to explain it. This goes for any question. The other thing is to partner up with God for life and trust Him with everything.
The bible is your guide book and bread of life. Understanding the Bible my friends is so important because the Bible is God’s your information and answers to life. It is a vessel to take you where you want to go. It is not laws and religion. It gives you the word and it comes alive when you active it through your Holy Spirit and speaking it aloud. Now you have to ask for things and be faithful, obedient, and expectant. When you open the Bible, you can read history and God’s message to us, and His promises. The bible basically is commentary or instruction so to speak. You have to realize when it just a story or history when God shows and tells where and how intervened. A lot of people think the bible is just words and statements of laws and rules and quaint stories or bold war stories, etc..
What could be more important than understanding what the Creator of the universe has to say? All you have to do ask Him, pray and state what you are doing. Research, learning, or looking, what ever the case, just ask. Remember your Holy Spirit is your guide & discerner. Without the Holy Spirit, the bible can be hard to understand at times, or just plan fiction if you have no clue. It is only truth to those who accept Jesus and His gospel.
We seek understanding of God and the Bible for the same reason a you get ready to go on a trip, you look at a map or you seek to understand a fishing manual to learn more about fishing. Things go wrong in this world, and the Bible not only diagnoses the problem (sin), it also points out the solution (faith in Christ). “For the wages of sin is death, yet the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord, our partner in life and business or work. Read (Romans 6:23). I pray you learn to cowboy-up with 3 mysteries of God by the word and the Spirit of God. Plain and simple always remember this one verse about the bible and life. John 10:10 look it up that way you can write it down on a 3x5 card and memorize it. It is that important. The other biggy to grasp is John 3:30 He must increase, but I must decrease. Dieing to self and letting God moves in and retrain the old to the new. You (new creation)and the Holy Spirit trains the old man, dying to self every day until there is only the new creation and being one with God. Another way to look at it is when you were baptized you drowned the old man and reborn to a new creation. The old man is dead, you have to retrain your mind that the old ways of doing things is dead.
You seek understanding of the Bible for the same reason an author researches for his writing, or avid reader seeks to understand his favorite author’s books. The Bible reveals to us His Spirit, and the person, the glory of God, as expressed in His Son, Jesus Christ (John 1:1-18). The more we read and understand the Bible, the more intimately we know the Author. We seek understanding of the Bible for the same reason someone in the path of a storm seeks to understand the weather report. The Bible predicts what the end times will be like, sounding a clear warning of impending judgment (Matthew 24-25) and how to avoid it (Romans 8:1).
Religion vs. Christianity
The most common misconception about Christianity and religion, is that Christianity is not just another religion like Islam, Judaism, Hinduism, Buddhism, etc. The fact is, it is not religion. Yet, to my sadness, many who claim to be a follower of Christianity and practices Christianity, as if it were a religion.
To many, Christianity is nothing more than a set of rules and rituals that a person has to observe in order to go to Heaven after death. People !, it is more than going to church on Saturday or Sunday. Christianity is more than ritual or tradition. True Christianity is living the word and having a relationship with Jesus Christ. Which you cannot have unless you are born again. You have to be baptized in the Holy Spirit and use your relationship in what I call *CCR to become a *GT to handle life. *Definitions in Verse N Works in the back of book.
True Christianity is not a religion, rather it’s believing in the Trinity of God and having a right relationship with God by receiving Jesus Christ as the Savior-Messiah, accepting the gift from God your Holy Spirit, and it is given by grace through faith. Learning that Jesus paid the ransom for our sins. He fulfilled the debt and we do not have to carry the guilt any more. In stead of burning a sacrifice at the altar, you give a living sacrifice and die a little in self. You have been given a better promise in a new covenant with God. It is explained in Hebrews.
Yes, Christianity does have “rituals”, I call them Christian rites to observe (e.g. baptism and communion). Yes, Christianity does have “rules” to follow, like the Ten Commandments. However, these rites and rules are not the essence of Christianity. The rites and rules of Christianity are the result of true Christianity. Live not by the letter of the law, live by the Holy Spirit. By this it glorifies the love and law with-in us. This does not do away with the law, for the law is with in you has been since Jesus died for us and the new covenant with God. When a person receives salvation through Jesus Christ, he/she is baptized as a proclamation of that faith. He/she observes communion in remembrance of Christ’s sacrifice, in paying our debt. He/she follows a list of do’s and don’ts out of love for God and gratitude for what He has done. He or she makes choices, planting seeds to enhance or harm their lives. Planting the wrong seed or making the wrong choice, one will pick a crop they do not want to harvest. Building character by our storms and going through them with Jesus by our side. Learning to react to life with God’s Love.
What a man soweth, is for his own benefit. Whether it be tribulations or blessings. Gal 6:8 For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting. 9 And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not. 10 As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith. No matter what satan tries to do to us in deceiving us or whatever of our own choices. In our inequity we come out the winner in the end as long as we reconcile with God and repent in our way (inequity). There is always a blessing at the end of every tribulation or storm. We are already forgiven, we just have to get it right. Guilt left us at the cross. Gen 50:20 But as for you, ye thought evil against me; but God meant it unto good, to bring to pass, as it is this day, to save much people alive.
It‘s all in our choices. Christianity is a way of life, the answer to life, not a religion. It is a mind set, realizing life is changing the old man in us. Dieing a little to self daily. Dying to self. What this simply means; when you recognize something in you that is not pleasing to God and that is of the natural man, you learn to let that part of you go. Never returning to it. If you cannot see it, you ask God if there is something in you that does not please Him. Then let Him reveal it & make a change, ask for forgiveness, deliverance, and repentance is complete. Die of the fleshly sin. Also you can take an old unforgiving hurt and do the same thing. Dieing to this is dieing in the flesh. You will do this through out your whole life. John 12: 24, 25 "Most assuredly I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it remains alone, but if it dies, it produces much grain." He who loves his life will lose it, and he who hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life." Rom 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. To die or not to die – the way we respond to this decision will determine our life direction our walk with Jesus.
(Our walk is with Jesus and no other, not Allah or Buddha or whoever, it is a narrow gate to Heaven. That is the law and word. No matter what one believes it is so. Just because someone says I don’t believe that, does not Change the law in their life for their purpose. If you do not believe the law of gravity and you jump off a house, you will break your leg.)
Dying to self cannot be just a matter for DISCUSSION; it must be a matter for DECISION. When we focus on our interests alone, our lives will disintegrate, that my friends is the “me“ syndrome which comes from the world through our Pride. We must lose ourselves in the plans and purposes of God and we will find the true meaning of our existence, which is love. Ask God for the solution to help us to surrender our lives so that He can fulfill His purpose for creating us. (Ephesians 1:15-19) Confess our tendency to mar God’s image in me by preferring our will to His.
Christianity is all about the trip to Heaven, not the destination. A “way” to live on your trip to get the maximum benefit from it. Meaning the way you live and how you respond to life along the trip. The more you live like Jesus the bigger the bigger the benefit. Believe, to Receive. Once you get this in hand and mind, Christianity becomes more than just a way to live, it becomes Power of Jesus to do whatever one needs to live righteously. By a relationship with Jesus, through the Holy Spirit in circumstance, changing one’s character, dieing to self, letting go of pride, one’s faith can take on new level, when one relies on God Almighty for everything from the smallest detail to the most important thing in one’s life. One can learns pray for solutions to what they name, and not to pray to heal, they learn as Jesus did,,, to command satan and disease to cease. Command one to walk, to speak, to do what they normally do without disease. Then one crys out Hosanna, Halleluiah, Selah. Praise to and for God. The Glory is His. Amen. Thank You for Your Shekinah Glory…
Warning; Scripture tells me, if one does not have the Holy Spirit in their life, they will not understand God’s word. Saints always clothe yourself with the armor of God, the word. The word is the sword of God, wield it with care.
Now that I have dispelled the myth of religion and gave you the truth on Christianity, the “Way“. Now I will give you the true way to Riches & Health. You don’t need to have a get rich book or cheat your way or take from others. It is not a name and claim it way, it is the mind set of Christ that counts. Learn what the word says and practice it. Let go of the old thinking give to us years ago and it has been handed down from generation to generation, that it is better to poor. I want to dispel this once and for all. Life is your choice and using the word, the principles and promises of God. God tells us to feed the poor. This means feed them literally and feed them the good news of Christ. Read the last step in this book, it is to have the mindset and the “Way” without pride and greed by becoming a *GT. I say how can you feed the poor if you are poor? Joh 10:10 The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. Jesus said more abundantly not in poverty and not caring or sharing. He wants what is best for you and for you to share. He give us a new law to love one another. When you are scratching for a dollar to put bread on the table it is hard to see we don’t have to fight and scratch our way…
Know who you are in Christ, once you know you are adopted into the Royal Family of Jesus, then you learn your status and power. Learn to use your power in the way Jesus used it and all shall be yours. The way to get rich is let go of the nature of man, the prideful and mindset of greediness. Now I am not talking about the way someone telling you a way to name and claim it, I am saying learn what Jesus and the word said. OK here is scripture to get you on track to right thinking for planting right seed. Joh 10:10 The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. Mt. 6:33 …seek ye first the Kingdom of God, and His righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. Mt.19:26 With God all things are possible Mt. 6:8-10 Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him. 9 After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. 10 Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. John 15:7 If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you. God speaks into men the seed for their harvest. And the harvest comes by your measure of faith and the type of seed you plant. It is type of seed you sow and how you nurture it to get right harvest. Also always sow into God’s Greater Good. Line it up with His purpose. I repeat sow with the measure you want to receive and work it by the principles of the Kingdom. Sow a seed in the measure you need or want. Mt. 6:33 …seek ye first the Kingdom of God, and His righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. GW Mar. 11:24 That's why I tell you to have faith that you have already received whatever you pray for, and it will be yours.
Let go of Pride. Seek the Kingdom first, be bold in Christ, and learn to become a giver, instead of a taker. Learn to be needy of the Lord. Learn to depend on Him for everything. Learn to love one another and help one another.
Saints listen and discern with your Holy Spirit in all you read in the bible for what it means to your present circumstance. Friends there have been many people telling us what the bible means. That the end is near… I like our forefathers feel it is near. For there are way to many prophecy’s at hand. It seems to me it use to be every 100 years knowledge increase, now it has sped up, it seems every 25 years we grow leaps and bounds. Especially the one that says knowledge will be going to and fro. With computers, phones and satellites it is happening. I also think man deceives himself thinks He alone can tell what the bible says. It really is a living word. There are different meaning at different times. One could be a corporate meaning, yet a singular meaning, I think most importantly a meaning on a personal level.
I think people make the mistake of leaping for before they look. Even I do it with our thinking sometimes. Some will read the bible and explain it to their own minds and think they are right, without confirming what they learned and what to do with it. Sometimes God will give us a word and we run with it, before we know what we are suppose to do with it. This is what I call becoming a legend in one’s own mind. Pride running and not God. They jump out there wanting to share with others what they think is right. Then times goes by with what have said and it meant nothing because it was given at the right time or given with proper instruction. I am here to tell you everything will happen in God’s time, not our own. Now I am not saying go on be about your business the way you want. I say be prepared, ask Jesus in all things.
You don’t need anyone to explain that verse, you need your Holy Spirit. Saints I believe in what the bible says. God tells us we cannot understand what He is saying in the bible without one’s Holy Spirit to be your interpreter, one to explain and help you discern. To have that you must be reborn like what Nicodemus asked Jesus about in John 3:3-8.
I know this is a lot to discern, yet that is why we must study the word. Beware friends of your pride and others own pride, Discern all of what your read, even what I am writing heeds to be put to your test in the word. Take life and your circumstance, trials and tribulations one at a time and one day at a time. Little by little dying to self, you become all you can be in Jesus Christ. Wanna receive a blessing? Just spread the good news to someone you know, tell them your encounter with Jesus. Your healing or forgiveness or your deliverance from your mountain in life. Work your CCR to become a GT.
And now the word.
Prov. 4:23 keep thy heart with all thy diligence, for out of it are the issues of life. 1Thess.5:21. Prove all things; hold fast that which is good.
22. Abstain from all appearance of evil.
The word
Why is it that man has to try to read something of the world into the truth? I see people and hear people always trying to reinvent the word of God. They try to say it is another way. I am here to tell you those people do not have the Holy Spirit in them, or they are not listening to Him. The word is truth and what God allowed to be in the bible. Woe unto those who practice this, changing or try making the word the word into something else. I myself do not want any of that woe stuff. God does not lie and He is the same today as yesterday, and will be the same tomorrow. Isa 5:20 Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter! I say be sure you understand John 14, if you do not go back and refresh your self. Start with the sinners prayer. Seek Jesus and ask Him where you are wrong and ask if you have the Holy Spirit. Renew, Revive, Receive… Tell Jesus you love Him and you want all that He has for you. What do you do next? Listen not to man and the old man in you. Seek the truth, it will come from with in and not the worldly noise and things. Listen only to the voice of righteousness.
“Seek the Kingdom first… “ If life and love are worth anything you will endure the pain of it. When you find the worth, it will endure forever. The pain is what builds the strength of it and our character with God and of God and through God“. By His word we are blessed with love from Him and one another, which “joy” is the fruit, it makes the heart truly enriched (worth). A love relationship is essential in life to help you complete one another. Then with one another and God we are complete. Love is the answer and let it be directed by your Holy Spirit through your personal relationship with Jesus Christ. This is done by CCR to become a GT, of the Kingdom. And these things come from knowing and using the word. Sanctifying by learning to respond correctly, righteously. Learning to hear our Holy Spirit. Joh 16:13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come. Phi 1:29 For unto you it is given in the behalf of Christ, not only to believe on him, but also to suffer for his sake; 30 Having the same conflict which ye saw in me, and now hear to be in me. 1Ti 4:16 Take heed unto thyself, and unto the doctrine; continue in them: for in doing this thou shalt both save thyself, and them that hear thee. Mat 10:27 What I tell you in darkness, that speak ye in light: and what ye hear in the ear, that preach ye upon the housetops. Mat 11:15 He that hath ears to hear, let him hear. Joh 8:43 Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word.
I may not say this like a scholar or some of our great men of God. Yet I am sure you will get it and seek the truth. That is all I am after is to provoke you to discern and understand through your Holy Spirit.
First of all let me explain to the newbie’s, the bible is a collection of books brought together to help you understand the history and salvation and our walk. The tools of life, the how to book of life. Read and study the canon. The bible is a collection of God inspired words.
Abraham gave us the promise, Moses gave us the law, Prophets gave us the insight, Jesus gave us salvation and demonstrated the Kingdom and gave us a better promise, Saul became Paul to explain it all. He gave us the instruction which is the Holy Spirit and the Kingdom. God gave us Hebrews which explains the Kingdom and answers… Revelation blesses us with what is and what is going to happens and the promises.
The last supper gives boldness and confidence and expectancy, for when I break bread with Jesus and drink of His cup of wine the blood washes me. There for I walk in boldness with unfailing courage. I take authority, I ask, I commit, I listen, I act, I gives thanks, I fulfill. Therefore I walk in boldness in worshiping and praising God. For those who are not sure what I mean… Communion: 1. intimacy: a feeling of emotional or spiritual closeness 2. connection: an association or relationship. This what my dictionary said. I say it is known as the sacrament of the last supper; Breaking of Bread through communion with Jesus, in remembrance of Him. Have passion and let it come from the heart and ask forgiveness, yet it is more than this. Renew the mind and soul. For this is the ultimate act in a personal intimate relationship with Jesus Christ. Joh 6:53 Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you. 54 Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day. 1Cor.11:20-34. Joh 6:47-57
The living word of God. You will grow to understand this, the more you read it. The old testament is history and the laws and prophecy. The issue of that day was idols and shedding of blood for sin and guilt. The old testament was ended in expectancy not and end. The old testament was the foundation for the new testament. The old testament was not voided out by the new, it was fulfilled. The old testament was of an old covenant. The new testament fulfillment and brought a better new covenant and explains about salvation through Jesus Christ, sin, guilt, and forgiveness, getting along and working out life without any more shedding of blood. The issues were legalism, thinking they could work their way to Heaven. The new covenant had better promises, and lifted sin and guilt off us and no more animal sacrifices. It is all about Jesus and how to be a Christian. The main issue of sin and guilt was dealt with by Jesus being sacrificed and resurrected. Jesus is the only way to heaven. Read Hebrews. The more you listen and study the word you will understand this. Look to the scholars they explain it better than I can. At least that is my take. Study and discern it yourself. Do understand you may not be ready for Hebrews at this time. That is why I tell you to read and reread. Discern what you can and trust God to give you what you need in this day to walk your walk and He will equip for the morrow. Not to worry…

Saints read and reread “Hebrews”. Let be your core for study and reference to other scripture from it. Read over and over until you understand about forgiveness, sin, and guilt. Until you are freed, and a prisoner no more. It is not about your sin and getting forgiveness. It is in my opinion that it is the identity in Christ, your personal relationship with Him frees you from sin and guilt. What is in your heart. What is your motive. By keeping yourself immersed in Jesus and the word you come out with the fragrance of the sweet smell of Jesus and your motives will reflect that. My brothers and sisters sin & guilt was paid once and for all by Jesus. Why do you keep asking forgiveness if sin has been dealt with once and for all by Jesus, He redeemed us. Do you hang Him back on the cross or try to hang yourself on the cross, by your asking forgiveness? Let us confess or sin and wrong doing. Forgiveness is already there by the blood of Jesus and now your confession. Turn away from wrong and do the right thing. Remember there is consequence for
everything we do. We know from experience and teaching the what we sow shall we reap. What is in the heart is who we are. We will receive mercy or grace depending on us or what God decides to give, maybe both. Let us ask for deliverance from our selves and who is involved and receive grace by your tongue. Reconcile our selves with God. Forgive the circumstance or people involved and move on. Let go of the past, it does not equal the future.
Hebrews is a book of revelation in my opinion of how to operate in the new covenant that Jesus made. It truly speaks to me in telling me to get over sin and guilt, to focus on God. Take a day to rest and reconcile your walk. Let go of the past and ask for deliverance, His grace. Listen to Chapter 4.
We have so much to learn and so little time. The world has lied to us for sooo long that we cannot over come sin because of our nature. That is a lie, we can overcome through Jesus Christ. By being in Him and Him in us. By CCR and becoming a GT, our identity becomes Christ like.
Here in the beginning of this step let me explain again about forgiveness. For if you do not understand forgiveness and servant hood your walk will be over and over, full of mercy short on grace. Here it is in Matthew 6 please read and study, it does not teach that our eternal destiny is based on us forgiving other people; what it is saying to me is, it teaches that our relationship with God will be harmed or have damaged beyond repair. To me it is saying, if we refuse to reconcile our differences, pardon those who have offended us, God will not forgive us. The word of God is clear. God pardons sin by His grace based on Christ’s work on the cross alone, not on man’s actions. Our right standing before Him is in right standing on one thing only: the finished work of Christ John 3:16; 1 John 2:2; 1 John 4:10. The penalty for sin that is rightly ours is paid by Christ, not by us asking for it everyday or our works or deeds. Forgiveness from God is obtained by grace through faith. Ephesians 2:8-9; For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast. No one will be able to stand before God standing on a false belief, that their sins be forgotten simply because they have forgiven others. Reconciliation for sin is complete by being born again, you are given a new way of life and given the promises, your life is directed through God’s Spirit, by faith in Jesus Christ, your sins forgiven. So forgiveness (reconciliation) that we experienced by our salvation by Jesus, pure grace in my book.
What Jesus was referring to is the day-to-day cleansing of our offenses and hurts from one another, that we obtain forgiveness is when we confess our sins. So that it clears our path in our walk with Jesus and we do not stumble over rocks of the un-forgiveness. We also have to ask our friends to accept and apology, reconcile with them. Do this, in order to restore fellowship with our loved ones and friends and others, and especially with our heavenly Father, which was interrupted by the daily our daily acts of sin, believe me it affects us all. Rom 8:7 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.
So now that is clear as mud you can understand this is not the wholesale cleansing from sin that comes with salvation by grace through faith, is more like the foot the washing Jesus describes in John 13:10 The “whole body is clean,” He told the disciples, that their feet were dirty from their walking in the world. Plain and simple everyday forgiveness is in a sense, when God threatens to withhold His reconciliation from us, when we refuse to forgive others. We have to kiss and make up, that is what it says to me.
Here is more about the covenants of God. Here is scripture explaining the old and new covenant. Heb 8:8-10 For finding fault with them, he saith, Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah: 9 Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they continued not in my covenant, and I regarded them not, saith the Lord. 10 For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people: It would be wise to a study on covenants of God. It gives you a better picture of the old and new Testament. The old covenant was law and you were saved by faith. Sin and guilt was dealt with by sacrifice and the blood of an animal. The new covenant is explained about man and sin. Jesus’ sacrifice and the spelling of His blood is what covers mans sin once and for all. The law was not changed, the method of redemption from sin was. Rom 7:12-16 Wherefore the law is holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good. 13 Was then that which is good made death unto me? God forbid. But sin, that it might appear sin, working death in me by that which is good; that sin by the commandment might become exceeding sinful. 14 For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin. 15 For that which I do I allow not: for what I would, that do I not; but what I hate, that do I. 16 If then I do that which I would not, I consent unto the law that it is good.
God had to make a new covenant because man could not obey Him, because of their nature of carnal. Heb 8:9 Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they continued not in my covenant, and I regarded them not, saith the Lord. This scripture says it all, the new covenant; Heb 8:10-13 For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people: And they shall not teach every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for all shall know me, from the least to the greatest. For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more. In that he saith, A new covenant, he hath made the first old. Now that which decayeth and waxeth old is ready to vanish away. You need to get this clear in your mind, if it is not, ask, research and study. Then discern with your Holy Spirit, talk it over with him. Now God put His word in your heart to be awakened by you. Your free will to choose. Mt.6:33 …seek ye first the Kingdom of God, and His righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
Our Walk
Isn’t it funny how we humans look for a formula. I use the word formula in this book and even the mathematical equation in structure saying this equals this, in working at getting you to understand. My point is there is no set formula or recipe or anything like that to do something the way God wants you to do it. Everyone is different and everyone walks their own pace and way. Understand the bible is the how to book for life, it is not just something to study and expect to do it heaven. We need to do it now. That is what our walk is all about. God said;
When you understand what the devil is for and what we are here for, our walk becomes under control and not in fear. People tell me all the time that stuff happens in life and it is for building your character. I say hog wash…LOL I have a different slant on it. I think satan is here to kill you and your chance to live in eternity with Jesus. Our Sweet Jesus tells us what satan is up to and what Jesus is here for in John 10:10 The thief cometh not, but that he may steal, and kill, and destroy: I came that they may have life, and may have it abundantly. What I am saying that God does not send storms or adversity in your life, the devil does, he wants to destroy your life.
If you study and live Prov. 18, then satan will have a hard time taking it way, having a relationship with Jesus will prevent the devil doing anything that will hurt you. If you learn to have faith and trust in God in all things, then you will walk in dominion, you will walk without fear. You will walk in control, peace and joy.
God takes care of everything when you walk as you are and who you are in Christ. You are of the royal family. Jesus wants us to act like it. He gives you the word so you can walk in dominion. I have always believed that the Blood of Jesus not only washed away sin and guilt, it has open the door to supernatural powers of our Father in Heaven. So the storms and satan cannot harm us in the storm or anything else.
Walking in dominion is like a well seasoned miner who lives in the wilderness and never goes outside without his firearm. That is what Jesus is, our colt 45 strapped on our hip. It gives us the confidence to go out into the darkness. I think this is what the meaning of these verse mean. Rom 4:16-18 For this cause it is of faith, that it may be according to grace; to the end that the promise may be sure to all the seed; not to that only which is of the law, but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham, who is the father of us all, (as it is written, A father of many nations have I made thee) before him whom he believed, even God, who giveth life to the dead, and calleth the things that are not, as though they were. Who in hope believed against hope, to the end that he might become a father of many nations, according to that which had been spoken, So shall thy seed be. God promises us that He will give us life and the word is life in our walk. It is there to take away our fear, it is God’s warranty so to speak while here on earth. LOL The confidence comes in working it, by this your faith muscle becomes strong and gives you power. Fear is a breakdown of your communication and faith in and with God. I say walk in dominion you own your kingdom and you are part of the royal family act like it. Let the world do what it does, and let satan growl, For me and my family we will do what the Lord says and live by His word, this brings victory and glory to God. Psa 23:3-4 He restoreth my soul: He guideth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Yea, thou I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; for thou art with me; Thy rod and thy staff, they comfort me. In Mark it says believe you already have it, envision it and it will come to pass. Mk.11:24 Therefore I say unto you. What things so ever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them and ye shall have them. Phil.4:19 …my God shall supply you’re your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus; Josh.1:8,9 "This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; yet thou shalt meditate therein day and night. That thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written; for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success". 9 "Have not I commanded thee?" " Be strong and of good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed; for the Lord thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest". Come boldly before God and ask what ye will. Deu 28:1 And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe and to do all his commandments which I command thee this day, that the LORD thy God will set thee on high above all nations of the earth: Deu 28:2 And all these blessings shall come on thee, and overtake thee, if thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God.
Pro.2:8 Ask of Me, and shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession. Further refer: Ps.4:3, Ps.20:4, Ps.20:5, Isa.45:11; Mt.7:7,8; Jn.14:14; Jn.16:24b; jas.1:6a;
I think sometimes in these laws of God we inadvertently bring things on ourselves by, asking ourselves or making a statement, doesn’t this look like a storm or earth quake weather? I think this is going to happen, if we collectively or by ourselves believe this, I think it will come to pass. Be careful of your mouth and thought. Read and study Proverbs 18. It carries a lot of weight in our life, if you let it. Jesus said come and take my yoke it is light. His thinking and ways promotes abundance. John 10:9&10 I am the door; by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and go out, and shall find pasture. The thief cometh not, but that he may steal, and kill, and destroy: I came that they may have life, and may have it abundantly
The secret is study the word, pray and listen to your Holy Spirit to CCR to become a GT. Formula and recipes are for man’s work. God’s work is done your Holy Spirit and you.
Learning to cowboy up with Jesus is the word, it is your life altering instruction, “the way” for a Christian to achieve your identity in Jesus and what He did. To assist you in every way, through God‘s living word. Heb 4:12 God's word is living and active. It is sharper than any two-edged sword and cuts as deep as the place where soul and spirit meet, the place where joints and marrow meet. God's word judges a person's thoughts and intentions. 13 No creature can hide from God. Everything is uncovered and exposed for him to see. We must answer to him. 14 We need to hold on to our declaration of faith: We have a superior chief priest who has gone through the heavens. That person is Jesus, the Son of God.15 We have a chief priest who is able to sympathize with our weaknesses. He was tempted in every way that we are, but he didn't sin. 16 So we can go confidently to the throne of God's kindness to receive mercy and find kindness, which will help us at the right time.
Many Christians are defeated because they insist on running their own lives. The truth is they are not running it, they are ruining it. Because they are not spending time with the word. For it is God’s wisdom and His purposes for you, His will for your life. God is the answer. For without God you are dead, with Him you are eternal and have the choice of His wisdom by your spirituality, revealed by your wonderful Holy Spirit. Your guide lines for living is laid down in the bible. The maker of life knows far more about living than any of us who live on this spec of matter screaming through space, the third rock from our sun. Believe me He knows more than we could ever know, and He is not open for to suggestion or advice. He does not care who you think you are or are not. God has spoken and He did not stuttered! If we want a successful and victorious life, we must realize that God operates in the command mode. When He speaks you better listen.
Because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists
and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.
Hebrews 11:6
