Victory in being free

Don’t you just love a continuation of a lesson…. :)

I John 5:4-5 says For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith. Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God. (KJV) You know sometimes when God gives us stuff , yet we are limited in our freedom, we are subject to reject that that God has given. Are you limited and still bound in your freedom? Get the VICTORY by overcoming some stuff in your life. Do you know what victory is? It is overcoming that which has been trying to overcome you!! Sometimes the only enemy that some of us has is ourselves. We get in our own way, block our own blessings and stop our own freedom!!! We get tied up because we don’t understand the victory in where we are! Have you ever seen a palmtree in a storm? That thing will move whichever way the wind decides to take it. It will bend over backwards but IT NEVER BREAKS!!! I want to be a palmtree for Jesus!!! You have to know that if you are gonna do what the world does and dictates to you, there is absolutely no reason to be born again. Being born again symbolizes a newness!!! A fresh start…an opportunity to start over and do the right thing but if we decide that we are gonna continue to do whatever it is that we wanna do, what is the point? You have to keep moving, keep pushing forward because God rewards your overcoming!! I believe it is Hezekiah Walker that sings that song Moving Forward…I’m not going back, I’m moving ahead, I’m here to declare to you my past is over, in You all things are made new, surrender my life to Christ, I’m moving moving forward!!! That is what we need to do Saints! To be born of Christ is to imitate Him at every turn! You must impart what God has imparted in you, in to someone else’s life. Are you ready for the manifest/the order that God has for you?

How many of us text, email, facebook, twitter, etc.? What if we were to get messages from God? Some people are so into these electronic ways of communicating, they block everything else. What happens if you stop getting messages from God? You stop overcoming things!!! You have to be able to hear from the Lord in order to move as He has instructed you to do. By faith I am gonna walk into what I say because I believe in my heart that I am more than a conqueror!!! To walk in something, you must first overcome it? Saints of God, we can’t get content where we are, open your eyes and see the manifestation of God’s word in you and your life!! Make it a practice to not waste God’s time. If you are gonna continue to live like the world lives, then don’t continue to ask God to move for you, when you won’t move for Him!! Are you in a dark spot in your life? God sometimes will allow you to get out of your own dark spot to see your strength and faith in Him.  We have to realize that we have the victory today and all we have to do is believe and walk in that belief….in other words HAVE FAITH!! Hebrews 11:1 says Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. Have faith Saints of God and watch God do a thing. Claim you victory right now and walk in it!! If I can do it, so can you!!

Peace & Blessings

Your Journey

Mark 5:1-9 states And they came over unto the other side of the sea, into the country of the Gadarenes. And when he was come out of the ship, immediately there met him out of the tombs a man with an unclean spirit, Who had his dwelling among the tombs; and no man could bind him, no, not with chains: Because that he had been often bound with fetters and chains, and the chains had been plucked asunder by him, and the fetters broken in pieces: neither could any man tame him. And always, night and day, he was in the mountains, and in the tombs, crying, and cutting himself with stones. But when he saw Jesus afar off, he ran and worshipped him, And cried with a loud voice, and said, What have I to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of the most high God? I adjure thee by God, that thou torment me not. For he said unto him, Come out of the man, thou unclean spirit. And he asked him, What is thy name? And he answered, saying, My name is Legion: for we are many. (KJV)

Did you know that the journey that we, as Saints of God, are on is not a sit-down journey? It is one of continuous growth. Sometimes in life we want people to see only what we want them to see. Life is good, everything is going swell, when in actuality….all hell is breaking loose on the inside of you! I have those moments in my life where I only want people to see my smile, not my frustration and fears. I want people to say that she is always so happy and upbeat. All the while, there is a battle raging on inside of me. We fight battles everyday. Some are so simple, like battling to get up in the morning when that alarm clock goes off. Some, however, are not so simple. This is when you lean not to your own understanding. The bible says that we battle not against flesh and blood but against the rulers of darkness and spiritual wickedness in high places!!! Now, explain to me how we (flesh and blood) are gonna fight a battle like that? We can’t!! That is when we depend on God to bring us through our battles. But, there is a catch….Jesus can ONLY dwell inside me once I give Him ALL OF ME!!! Not 3/4, 1/2…….ALL 100% of me!! Jesus can either have all of you or none of you. That’s the simple truth of the matter. If you work 40 hours a week, you want your whole paycheck, right? Well babe, God wants all of you. Makes me think of that song by Forever Jones….He wants it all. We can’t expect ridiculous miracles if we don’t have ridiculous faith in Him. See the scripture speaks of a demon possessed man that was healed. When the devil and his legions are delivered from your body, change the locks so that they can’t return. Verse 15 of this same chapter says when they came to Jesus, they saw the man who had been possessed by the legion of demons, sitting there, dressed and in his right mind; and they were afraid. (NIV)

Aren’t you tired of the devil beating you up? I hate to fight so honey, I know that I am tired of fighting with him and his minions!!! I can’t allow the devil to dwell in my temple any longer. I have gotten mad!!! It (the devil) can’t dwell anywhere that I tread!!! That includes my classroom at school, where I sit on the bus, even around me at the busstop!!! See, I wanna be free!!! Don’t you? I don’t want to be bound by people, the devil or any situation that the devil may try to throw my way. I desire to walk in integrity and peace with God!!! Do you really wanna be free today saints? Do you need som help? Are you ready to be set free? Ready for deliverance? Ready to do what God has called you for? If you stand for nothing, you will fall for anything!! Saints of God, don’t fall for just anything. Stand for the One that stood for you. Just because it seems like all hell is breaking loose in your life does not mean that you can’t overcome and be free. Learn, today, how to declare a thing in Jesus name and walk in the faith of knowing that IT IS DONE!!! Don’t let the devil win…take your freedom and be free! For whom the Son sets free is truly free indeed.

Peace & Blessings my friends
