We often forget God is in control.
We have free choice but God has put His Word into this World.
When The Word reaches a person's heart there's life-changing power.
I was brought up in church, went through ordination training, but didn't know Jesus. I went to one meeting and heard a call to follow Jesus, suddenly I knew Jesus personally, He's been with me in the ups and downs of life.
Jesus gets to the heart of us; cultures and times change, God's Word is eternal, it creates all life. It's more than a book, history was written before it happened! It's miraculous in its preservation; heaven and earth pass away, yet The Word remains. People have banned the Word, yet it is the best-selling book of all time, translated into more languages than any other.
We can go to this precious resource.
Society is changing rapidly, yet God remains with stable and solid Truth.
Praise God for His miraculous Word! No other written words are like it. In
Psalms, it mentions rivers in the oceans, the bible records mountains in the seas, that the earth is suspended and not flat. We see things in the world happening now that were written in The Word thousands of years ago.
Desire the Word's pure work, spend time in it, and be like a baby craving for milk! It's Light and Truth, bringing stability to lives and families.
Preach the Word in season and out of season, don't compromise or dilute it.
Immerse yourself in God's Word today.

If your faith isn't in God, what is it in?
The Word says don't be deceived, the devil walks around looking for someone to devour!
If you have faith you won't doubt, you'll trust God, in all circumstances. Don't put God to the test, blaming Him.
Faith is believing in what we don't see. We believe in heaven yet we don't see it. We have faith in Jesus Christ, He was brought back to life. For us belonging to Jesus means we have eternal life with Him.
God says he will heal, bless and protect those who fear Him. If we have faith the angels will surround us.
I often choose not to believe the news, media, and government, they can't be trusted. God I trust, His Word I believe, no doubts or questions!
We may not always understand, God's ways are above ours, some things remain a mystery.
Faith isn't knowing God exists or that Jesus died, it's putting trust in God, knowing, believing and trusting in Him. Faith in God is 24/7 -365.
Is this the God you know, trust and want: a God who loves, forgives and renews?
When believers meet we can really talk about what matters, Jesus. As we talk about God, His Spirit moves. Those who diligently seek God will be rewarded.
How do you distinguish a trial from a test of faith? The Word says, "count it all joy."
Are you patient when things go wrong, or do get anxious? Patience comes through faith. All healing requires faith and trust in action. When you completely let go of your problems to God, trusting Him, you are free! Cast your cares on the Lord and be responsible. Trust God in ALL things today.

I call the Beatitudes the beautiful attitudes.
To display Jesus beatitudes you need to lose your attitude! If you have an attitude problem your stubborn, human thoughts and feelings will stand in the way.
In the 70s my attitude was punk, to show appreciation of the band you spat on them, you swore and shouted, anarchy!
When God says do this, and we do the opposite and try to justify it, that's a bad attitude.
God says show mercy, if we show no mercy God is merciless. God chose to put His only son on the cross so we can be forgiven, but we must forgive. We don't just "feel sorry" for peope who upset us, that's not forgiveness.
There are conditions to God's Grace: forgive, to be forgiven.
The beatitudes and human attitudes are polar opposites. Peter asked "how many times should we forgive, 7 times?" Jesus said "70 times 7!" In other words just forgive!
We should speak love, repentance, purity, hope and peace. We need to accept Jesus, receive His Spirit, or you remain the old you. We will then no longer be slaves to sin. The old self holds things in, hate, unforgiveness.
Be filled with God's Spirit, then you get the beatitudes. Have you changed? These spiritual qualities come through Jesus.
If we try to achieve righteousness ourselves that dismisses Jesus and the cross, who makes us righteous. The World doesn't understand this, nor have these qualities.
Many people don't hate God, but they don't know Him either.
Our thoughts and opinions don't interest God, only our faith. Change comes from inside, out. God hears all we say, including shouting and swearing!
We have to lose our attitude and get God's Beautiful Attitudes today.

Are you ready for battle, do you have a battle-ready ally? Have faith in God's power.
The Word of God is this, not if but WHEN you'll go into battle. Opposition comes from all angles, you wonder when will it end; when you are dead, then you'll be in God's glory!
Let God in, give Him the issues, leave it there, He'll put you over these evil schemes. On the verge of battle don't let fear overtake you. Pray harder and harder, put faith in God. There are spiritual Realms all around, angels and demons are fighting over you. The Lord your God goes before you, Jesus's death on the cross put an end to evil works, do you trust Him, give these things over?
Not by might or power, but by God's Spirit. Speak to the mountain of problems, by God's Spirit mountains are leveled. Speak out promises of God, worship God in Spirit.
The main weapon is the Shield of Faith. Build on solid Faith foundations. Take up the whole armour, you will withstand and go through it. Stand in your faith as God fights for you. The armour brings righteousness, peace, faith and freedom. The Sword of the Spirit, the Gospel, cuts deep, recognises and discerns. God's Word pierces the heart!
You can't have any of the protection without ALL of it. Push on, God is on our side. The battle is in our own home, our battle stance is on our knees!
Moses raised his arms and the Israelites won the battle, we raise our hands in prayer, a sign of our faith in God. I'm not saying do this in the middle of Tesco, do it in private, or with believers. Our battle isn't against flesh and blood but the evil one, who was defeated by the cross. You may feel like David versus Goliath, God plus one is the majority, God will answer you from heaven with his saving right hand. Pray everywhere, lifting up holy hands, give yourself over to God and find peace, strength and protection in Him today.

Saul was persecuting and killing Christians. God stopped Saul on a journey saying "Why are you persecuting me?" Saul said, “Who are You, Lord?” The Lord said, “I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting. It is hard for you to kick against the goads.” (Acts 9.)
A goad is a long stick with a metal spiked point, if an animal was stubborn they got spiked! It took an experience of Jesus which resulted in blindness before Saul could spirituality see.
Goaded and tempted are different. God might goad you in the right direction, do you kick back, resist, it's painful! God removes the thing that stands between you and God, He never tempts.
There's pockets of resistance towards God everywhere. Resistance is damaging. A healthy fear of God is essential, we must all stand before God, I can't wait to see him!
If life keeps going wrong, repeatedly, change direction, get back on the narrow road, take responsibility. Jesus said his yoke is easy and light, but the enemy puts on an iron yoke. Don't resist God, kick back, and wonder why you're having problems.
If you are tempted God won't give you more than you can bare, stick with God resist the devil, God will give you a way out.
God forgives, accept Jesus. Our flesh is finite, our soul is eternal. Choose life with God forever. You can't get there by human opinions and reasoning, only by faith and repentance in Jesus.
As a child I was quiet, I didn't believe, but when I saw my baby cousin choking I cried out to God, before I called the ambulance. God goaded me to His path and now I stand here, sharing God's Word.
God has enabled me, and will enable you, by His Spirit. Ask, seek, knock and it shall be given. Don't kick back and refuse all the riches God offers, follow Jesus's narrow path today!

I saw a sign...."life doesn't have to be perfect to be wonderful."
Imagine you've got the best job on earth, in charge. You start stealing from the till, you get away with it at first, but later get caught. You're publicly shamed, jailed!
If you have a fear of being named and shamed, don't do the crime! You'll need to give an account before God, it'll either be shameful or the end of a race you ran for God. If you don't like the idea of an eternity without God, then follow Him.
Some people live like God is irrelevant. German philosopher Nietzsche wrote "God is dead", someone grafittied this; someone replied: "Nietzsche is dead, God."
117 billion people have existed, all will stand before God answering for their works. In the beginning man fell and the earth groaned. It all sounds difficult!
Good news, through one man, Adam, came sin, through one man, Jesus, comes life.
What is our hope? How do we get rid of faults?
People preach all sorts of false messages, how are we really forgiven? We are saved by faith in Jesus Christ Lord and Saviour. It's so simple some reject it!
Jesus frees us from the law of sin and death, removing faults. God sees right through us, He can see Jesus' forgiveness in us, then we are pardoned. We can't pay out debts, only Jesus can.
Some say there are many roads to God, Jesus is The Way. Other faiths don't blend. Lukewarm Christinity is powerless. Faith in Jesus's name is power that nothing can stand against. We are washed and saved in that name. Medicine and exercise are good, but faith in Jesus gives ultimate power over all evil, He makes a way! Realise God is for you, speak Jesus's life-changing name and have His victory today!
