Jesus Is Not Offended

Are you?

“Now John answered Him, saying, “Teacher, we saw someone who does not follow us casting out demons in Your name, and we forbade him because he does not follow us.”

“39 But Jesus said, “Do not forbid him, for no one who works a miracle in My name can soon afterward speak evil of Me. 40 For he who is not against us is on our side. 41 For whoever gives you a cup of water to drink in My name, because you belong to Christ, assuredly, I say to you, he will by no means lose his reward.”   Mark 9:38-41 (NKJV)

If you’re offended that people are going to a different church than yours; or think they’re only going because of free food or slick marketing, you need to pray for them. And ask yourself if you’re in competition.  It could be those people are after the Holy Spirit.

 

Fearless

“Fear not, for I am with you;
Be not dismayed, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you,
Yes, I will help you,
I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.’”   

Isaiah 41:10 (NKJV), courtesy ://www.biblegateway.com/

““Do not fear, little flock, for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom.” says Jesus in Luke 12:32

Is God trying to tell you something?  Three times, I saw the word “fearless” on a shirt, sign, etc, alright, one sign closer up actually read, “Peerless (Tire),” but the first impression is fearless.

Also, heard in my spirit, “he can’t hurt you.”  Trust in the Lord and He’ll help you (Prov 3:5-6)

 

Archangel

“The fear of the Lord is to hate evil;
Pride and arrogance and the evil way
And the perverse mouth I hate.” Prov 8:13

“Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them.” Ephesians 5:11 (NIV)

“Do not withhold good from those to whom it is due, when it is in your power to act.” Proverbs 3:27

Jesus says, “And just as you want men to do to you, you also do to them likewise.” Luke 6:31 (NKJV)

He watched over her, felt in his spirit to check on her. Amidst cowards, did what was right, went out of his way, and stood up to evil. Bless him, though in awkward circumstances, a hero, better than 100 men.  Like the Archangel Michael statue with a sword.

Fight Right

“Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, to which you were also called and have confessed the good confession in the presence of many witnesses.” 1 Timothy 6:12 (NKJV)

“I, therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you to walk worthy of the calling with which you were called,” Paul exhorts in Ephesians 4:1.

My son, Dan, reminds me that our time is Christ’s and we were bought with a price and that we’re buried with Him (Colossians 3:3, 1 Corinthians 6:20, Colossians 2:12.

He’s (my son) always said everything is a test of our faithfulness to God. And that God dwells in the temple.  You are that temple.

“For I have come down from heaven, not to do My own will, but the will of Him Who sent Me.” Jesus declares in John 6:38

1 Corinthians 3:16-17:

“Do you not know that you are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?

“If anyone defiles that temple of God, God will destroy him. For the temple of God is holy, which temple you are.”

‘I Am Not Afraid’ – Prophetic Dream

A sister in Christ shared this prophetic dream: share it!

An old man asked to hold her hand to cross the street.  She did, then she was in his car.  The grip on her hand was too tight.  He said to her, “Are you afraid?”

She answered, “No, I’m not afraid because I’m covered by the blood of Jesus, the Lamb. And no weapon formed against me shall prosper (See Isaiah 54:17).”

The man immediately shriveled up.

The Lord also gave her Psalms 1 and 2 to read.  The enemies will be scattered. Psalm 2:7, “You are My son, I brought you forth.”

*This is a Head up!  Be strong in the Lord, don’t be afraid or deceived, wherever you go for the Lord, He will protect you, His blood over you and His word are powerful. Praise God!

Isaiah 54:17, (The Message), “but no weapon that can hurt you has ever been forged.  Any accuser who takes you to court
    will be dismissed as a liar. This is what God’s servants can expect.
    I’ll see to it that everything works out for the best.
        God’s Decree.”

For Families

“Though one may be overpowered by another, two can withstand him.

“And a threefold cord is not quickly broken.” Ecclesiastes 4:12 (NKJV)

2 Corinthians 10:3-6, “For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh.

“For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ, and being ready to punish all disobedience when your obedience is fulfilled.”

Malachi 2:14, “Yet you say, ‘For what reason?’

“Because the Lord has been witness between you and the wife of your youth, with whom you have dealt treacherously; Yet she is your companion and your wife by covenant.”

“Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate.” Mark 10:9 (NIV)

Who else is SICK of families unraveling?  In Jesus’ name, we declare the enemy of darkness “hands off of the families and marriages”. Hedge about the families, protect them and keep out busy buddies.

You Are My Stronghold

“The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.” Psalm 18:2 (NKJV)

Psalm 91: 1-6, 14-16

  • “He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord, ‘He is my refuge and my fortress; my God, in Him I will trust.’
  • “Surely He shall deliver you from the snare of the fowler and from the perilous pestilence. He shall cover you with His feathers, and under His wings you shall take refuge; His truth shall be your shield and buckler.
  • “You shall not be afraid of the terror by night, nor of the arrows that flies by day, nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness, nor of the destruction that lays waste at noonday.    Verses 1-6
  • “Because he has set his love upon Me, therefore I will deliver him; I will set him on high because he has known My name. He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him and honor him. With long life I will satisfy him, and show him My salvation.” Verses 14-16

“Do you think I cannot call on My Father, and He will at once put at My disposal more than twelve legions of angels?” Jesus to Pilate Matt 26:53 (NIV)

 

Leads To Life

“Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it.

“Because narrow is the gate and Difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it.” Jesus teaches in Matthew 7:13-14 (NKJV).

“In the way of righteousness is life, and in its pathway there is no death.” Proverbs 12:28.

Don’t give up when Life is tough, rather, expect toughness. Victoria Osteen said on TBN when she starts to get down, she changes her thinking; I pop in a Worship CD.

“My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, (producing patience)” James 1:1. It definitely helps to have a sense of humor and a friend.

 

 

Love Is The Rule

Song 8:6 (KJV), “Set me as a seal upon thine heart, as a seal upon thine arm: for love is strong as death; jealousy is cruel as the grave: the coals thereof are coals of fire, which hath a most vehement flame.”

There’s no rules to love people say.  Love is the rule of God though, through weakness or strength, anger of Peace.

“Love covers a multitude of sins.” Proverbs 10:12

Malachi 3:6 “For I am the Lord, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed.”

“My ways are higher” Isaiah 55:9

“I’ll show you a more excellent way” 1 Corinthians 12:31

“It is of the Lord’s mercies that we are not consumed, because His compassions fail not.  They are new every morning: great is Thy faithfulness.” Lamentations 3:22-23.
