The Good Ground Of Your Heart

So glad you’ve returned. It’s been my greatest Joy to share and to present the majestic glorious everlasting King of Kings and Lord Of Lords, Jesus is his name. Just consider with me for a moment, he wants to spend his time with you. That should send you dancing and leaping and rejoicing all the day through. He has sent me and others as ambassador to the Kingdom of Heaven, so that you can have a clear picture of his motives and his agendas. The scripture says in the book of James 1:17 Every good and perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.
The more of the word that you study, the more you realize how much he desires to lavish his love upon you. But continue to walk close to him through prayer and your study of his word. He doesn’t want you to center your attention on the negative things in life. But on his goodness, and his ability to fix and change the negatives and turn them around on your behalf. In the Gospel of Mark, in chapter 4 we learn a key parable that Jesus says if you understand this one, you will understand the rest of them. A parable is a story that teaches a great lesson. Jesus spoke in parables many times to the crowds which followed him. Let’s look at the parable of the sower who sows the Word.
Mark 4:1
1 And he began again to teach by the sea side: and there was gathered unto him a great multitude, so that he entered into a ship, and sat in the sea; and the whole multitude was by the sea on the land. 2 And he taught them many things by parables, and said unto them in his doctrine, 3 Hearken Behold, there went out a sower to sow: 4 And it came to pass, as he sowed, some fell by the way side, and the fowls of the air came and devoured it up. 5 And some fell on stony ground, where it had not much earth; and immediately it sprang up, because it had no depth of earth: 6 But when the sun was up, it was scorched; and because it had no root, it withered away. 7 And some fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up, and choked it, and it yielded no fruit. 8 And other fell on good ground, and did yield fruit that sprang up and increased; and brought forth, some thirty, and some sixty, and some an hundred. 9 And he said unto them, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
The Lord gives the explanation of this parable down further in the chapter but let me sum it up for you.
The word of God that you are studying is the seed. Your heart is the ground the seed goes into. By continuing in his word; through study, meditation, then acting on what you receive, the word of God breaks up all that other stuff that is in your heart and roots it out. Then if you continue, it’s goes done into good soil now. ( this takes time just as a farmer wood plant seeds into the ground). At first, it looks like nothing is happing on top of the ground. But just like a regular seed, it breaks open underneath or in your heart. Then as you like a farmer continually water, keep the weeds out, ( this is done by thanking God that it is true.) then it begins to put do roots. You still haven’t seen any thing on the surface yet. But keep studying, keep meditating on his word and his word alone, that keeps the weeds out so it won’t be choked. Then you will get strong roots there. Speak only what he says about you and situations surrounding, and what you read won’t wither away. Then as you continue, first the blade, then the ear, then the full corn in the ear. You will see the power of his words transform you, situations around you, and a harvest of blessings shall be yours. That why Jesus said this is the most important parable of all. So make his words your words. So my dear brother and sister, keep walking hand and hand with God. Stay close tucked in to his bosom. That’s right you are being transformed by his word.

The Great Commission

Oh it’s so nice to see you visit this site again beloved. Are you thrilled at your encounter with the living Christ? I am so excited for you. And I know you’ve been studying. God bless and prosper you and crown all your efforts with success. It’s time to follow the great commission. Yes your ready now. You have been reading the book of John. And you began reading the other 3 Gospels; becoming thoroughly acquainted with our Lord and Savior. And I know you were obedient to him to be filled to over flowing with his precious Holy Spirit.
Each day now your practicing praying in other tongues after you pray in your regular language. Oh joy be upon you! Remember, thank God each day for those two prayers in the book of Ephesians. They are found in the first and third chapters, that he is continually opening your understanding and strengthening you with his mighty power and might. He’s a mighty God and well able to build you up an help you walk in all he promised. And also remember to thank God for every Christian that they receive just like you. For we are all the family Of God.
Let’s see now, the great commission is found in all four Gospels. Let’s look at it in the Gospel of Matthew.
Matthew 28:18 this time I left out saying chapter and the verse for this is the way it is written. To look up a certain passage the chapter is 28, then right after the colons is the verses that we’re looking for, verses 19 and 20
Matthew 28: 19, 20 (This is Jesus speaking to his followers:
19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: 20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.
Let’s look at the Great commission in the Gospel of Mark as well:
Mark 16: 15-18
Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. 16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. 17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; 18 They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.
We see a little more detail in the Gospel of Mark than in Matthew.
Now every child of God is expected to share the good news. That means whether your a preacher or not, you can tell someone about Jesus and lead him or her into the family. Oh he has so much room for everyone who wants to come in. He doesn’t want anyone to be lost. God desires the earth to be filled with his children and the only way in is through Jesus. If you remember Jesus said in the Gospel of John 14:6, “Jesus answered and said I am the Way the Truth and the Life. No one comes to the Father except through me” So it is very important to inform those around, (following the direction of the Spirit ) and what I mean by that is that The Holy Spirit will lead you in areas that men will receive. He will prompt you on the inside to speak now about Jesus or he will prompt you to hold your peace. Once again study the scriptures and see that he can successfully guide you into the right areas and men will listen. In the book of Luke 10:2 Jesus said, The harvest is great but the Laborers are few. That means there are not many willing to share the Love Of Jesus, they keep quiet about it. He goes on to say in that same verse pray the Lord of the harvest, that he would send laborers into his harvest. Okay, we are to pray this prayer. But my dear brother and sister we are to be available in whatever walk of life we’re in to open our mouths and share that same wonderful life we’ve received. In doing so, we are serving God in more ways than one. We serve him in thanking him daily that his family is filled with wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him. You see that part of the prayer In Ephesians chapter one and three. And now we are helping to increase the family of God by sharing with them what we have received. You don’t have to be well versed in the scriptures to tell how you received Jesus into your heart. But remember, you received the Holy Spirit to overflowing and have been practicing praying in your heavenly language or other tongues as well as in your regular language, so your well equipped. Lean on your Heavenly Father for his direction and you will receive it. Oh wow! I can’t wait to here of the testimonies you will share in the comments section. Okay stay alert God needs you. Work for him this way and you will receive what is known as a soul winners crown.
In the book of 1 Corinthians 9:24 we get a glimpse of it at as we run our race for Jesus Christ. Christ means the anointed one. Let’s look at this verse.
24 Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain. 25 And every man that striveth for the mastery is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible. ( he’s talking about and incorruptible crown which the Lord himself will give us at that day.
When you win souls for the Lord, you will wear the most gorgeous crown. There are at least 5 crowns spoken of in the scriptures. Study much to find what belongs to you.

Let’s Get Filled

 

By now, you must be thoroughly excited about your new life as a child of God. Once again, I’m thanking God that you have found a wonderful church home that will help to nurture you and keep you growing. ❤
Let’s get filled with his precious Holy Spirit now. Oh but wait, let me show you the importance. When you received Jesus into your life, Your were sealed by his Spirit. That means your in the family for good! This is found in Ephesians chapter 1 and verse 13. If you recall, I had you read two prayers in the book of Ephesians that would help God open the scriptures in your heart. We are to thank him everyday for that. We are also to thank him everyday for all christians, that God has open the scriptures for them as well. That’s a good worker for our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. He’s proud of you and will reward you too. So let’s go on a little further.
The Holy Spirit of God is in your life now, for he has sealed you together in the family, But to be empowered to serve as you should, you must asked God to fill you to overflowing with his precious Holy Spirit. That’s right. There is a book called the book of Acts. It comes right after the four books written giving the account of Jesus Life and ministry. Those four books are called “the Four Gospels.” In the book of Acts, Jesus instructed those who believed in him not to leave Jerusalem till they would be endued, or filled with power from on high. You see he had breathed on them and they were sealed. We find this in John Chapter 20 and verse 22. But to these same ones that he breathed on he gave this command. The second chapter of the book of Acts gives the account of the Holy Spirit coming down to fill them with power so that they would be affective witness for him. What we mean by affective is that they would be able to accomplish the work that the Lord had them to do. If you remember reading through the book of John, you will remember Jesus say, in John Chapter 14, “I will have to return to heaven, but I will not leave you alone. I will pray to the Father and he will send you another comforter, that he may be with you forever; Even The Spirit Of Truth whom the world cannot receive, because they don’t see him, neither do they know him. “ He said the disciples knew him for he was with them but he would be in them. Then he also told them in John chapter 15, that when the comforter is come ( that’s the Holy Spirit) he would bare witness or tell of the truth of Christ. He will help you to communicate to others about Jesus and will give you boldness and courage and he will bring to your memory all Jesus taught. Then as you keep studying the Bible he will lead you in deeper ways to help people receive healing, and release them from all forms of oppression. And of course, lead them to receive Jesus into their hearts as well. He will also lead you in areas of protection.
Once you’ve asked God to fill you to overflowing, you will be certain of his presence, for you will be given a new language. That’s right. You will open your mouth and prepare to speak it. Then the Holy Spirit will help you form the words and it shall be so. This is called speaking in other tongues. Then everyday after you pray with your regular language, pause and pray in other tongues with your heavenly language. Praying this way is a spring board into learning more about your Father who is the Father of spirits. If you will do what Jude 20 says, to build up your most holy faith by praying in the Holy Spirit or other tongues, you will see the faith or belief your developing will increase and get stronger and stronger. Be sure to practice praying in other tongues in private for there are those who don’t understand yet and would ridicule. That’s right, but study the scriptures throughly and you will be able to lead them in as well. Jude is a book in the New Testament. There is a book called 1 Corinthians. In Chapter 14, read it for understand and be blessed. Oh, I will give more information of the Holy Spirit as you continue to engage in training as a disciple of our Lord.

Engaging in Training

Welcome once again. Now that you are firmly set in the family of God, by asking Jesus to be Lord of your life and come into our heart; you will want to become well trained and disciplined in your walk with him. This will ensure that he will be able to shower his blessings upon you. I previously mentioned reading through the book of John. Read it several times before going on to the other 3 books that describe Jesus’ life and ministry. Four writers were led by God’s precious Holy Spirit to give the account of his life and ministry. Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. Each one, giving a little different perspective but once you’ve read them all, you will have the whole picture. John let’s you down deep into his heart, his trials with those who were supposed to have represented God, and his dialogue with them, and his derisive that his disciples follow him closely. Okay, one more assignment for now. There is a book called Ephesians. It’s in the New Testament along with the four accounts of the life of Christ. There are two prayers; found in the first and third chapters. Read them. Then pray them for yourself putting your name in place of the Ephesians’ name. And thank God everyday that he has answered your prayers, and watch him upon your understanding of the text. Oh yes, pray those prayers for every christian you know and thank him daily for their knowledge. Thus you will begin to work for the Lord. Now I will present a section on being filled with his precious Holy Spirit and your advantage in doing this. Be blessed.
Yours in his service

Hello World

This is a very exciting time. I’m so glad to present to you, the good news gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ. It’s such good news. Jesus came into the world to show us what God is like. He demonstrated the goodness of God as he walked the earth. All that were sick he healed. He brought hope to the hopeless. He shared the heart of the father by the love that he gave to the world. And he desires  more than anything, for you to get to know him personally. Come let us learn about the son of God. Come let us reach up to the father through the Son. For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that who so ever believes in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but the world through him might be saved. John 3:16,17
