Win-Win principle!

 Philippians 3:9-14 (KJV)

⁹ And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith: ¹⁰ That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death; ¹¹ If by any means I might attain unto the resurrection of the dead. ¹² Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus. ¹³ Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, ¹⁴ I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.

Saints,

Over 20 years ago, I used to have the faith of Romans 4:1-5.  Thank God I graduated to the new season of James chapter 2.  For a season and a time we all have a measure of faith.  And grow from faith to faith.  After experiencing the fellowship of his sufferings, thank God we don't give up for multiple times the comforting presence of the Holy Spirit and Scriptures do share His resurrection power.  Miracles manifest all the time, especially when we come to the end of ourselves to experience the fullness of Him.  End of ourselves is not suicidal, though emotionally feels like it. IT'S NOT!  It is we getting out of the way, so He can step in.  Us being in the way is like we're our own worst enemy (Isaiah 50:11 AMP), so get out of the way!

In Closing,

I don't know what some may be going through but if you're reading this know you've been apprehended (chased down with such love) of Christ Jesus; that one day you may say that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended.  And as I graduated from Romans 4:1-5 to James chapter 2, you too will understand a greater manifestation and principle of seed-faith & harvest.  We just can't sit around.  Opportunities will arise, so show great generosity to all.  You can't go wrong with a win-win Bible principle!

James 2:18 (KJV)
¹⁸ Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works.

What makes the devil nervous?

 

• What makes the devil nervous?
  
• If you believe you're the sons of God.

1 John 3:1 (KJV)

Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not.

John 1:12 (KJV)

But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: 

Romans 8:14-19 (KJV)

For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. 15 For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. 16 The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: 17 And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.  ¹⁸ For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.

¹⁹ For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God.

Romans 8:19 (AMPC)

For [even the whole] creation (all nature) waits expectantly and longs earnestly for God’s sons to be made known [waits for the revealing, the disclosing of their sonship].

2 Corinthians 6:18 (KJV)

And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.

Angels versus Samaritans

 Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation? Hebrews 1:14

But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was. And when he saw him, he had compassion. Luke 10:33

Saints,

So important to understand the power of ministering spirits (angels) versus the compassion of Good Samaritans.  

There are times things are out of our control and we can't do anything.  Yet, because we're royalty, (Revelation 1:5-6, 5:10) we speak the word sending forth angels to render salvation on our behalf.  As we know our place of authority the presence of the Holy Spirit comforts us with a comfort beyond anything as we boldly release ministering spirits.  READ:

2 Corinthians 1:3-4 (KJV)
³ Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort; ⁴ Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God.

Now,

It's so refreshing helping anyone in need.  They'll mistakenly say - you're my angel.  "No," you're simply a Good Samaritan demonstrating compassion.  As the Good Samaritan, you understand the power of charity (Genesis 8:22, Psalm 41:1-3, Luke 10:30-37) knowing God's multiplication factor of sowing seed-faith and reaping a harvest.  Lots of ignorant people say - O, I don't give to get, I just want to give.  This is ignorantly WRONG!   

For Jesus said in Luke 6:38 Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over..

In Closing,

• Boldly send forth your angels to minister in your behalf.
• Be a Good Samaritan and with discretion (Psalm 112:5) strengthen the lives of the poor and needy.

Happy 2023!

And remember, there is too much Joy in the LORD!

Genesis 6:11‭-‬12

The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence. And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth.  Genesis 6:11‭-‬12

Saints,

From Genesis to today, nothing has changed. 

We're all surrounded with corruption, violence, and the most unfortunate disgraceful amount of nonsense birthed into society.  This is caution to many to please walk circumspectly.  Some may have been defiled one way or another with the despicable (Isaiah 9:16, Matthew 23), but be of good cheer (John 16:33), the journey is not over and as long as we all grow NOT religiously, but intimately with the Lord of compassion. We too will and shall sing of His goodness and principles that fail NOT!

• Understand the power of 1 Corinthians 1:26-31, 3:9. God works with brokenness and cannot/will NOT work with arrogance (Matthew 23).
• Understand the Blessings of Passover protects all - Exodus 34:22-24.
• Understand the Power of Charity protects all - Luke 12:33.

See then that you walk circumspectly (careful to consider all circumstances and possible consequences : prudent), not as fools but as wise, redeeming the time, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be unwise, but understand what the will of the Lord is.  Ephesians 5:15‭-‬17 (NKJV)

Ephesians 5:15‭ (AMP)

Therefore see that you walk carefully [living life with honor, purpose, and courage; shunning those who tolerate and enable evil], not as the unwise, but as wise [sensible, intelligent, discerning people], 

Psalms 119:27 (KJV) 

Make me to understand the way of thy precepts: so shall I talk of thy wondrous works. 

Psalms 145:5-7 (KJV) 

5 I will speak of the glorious honour of thy majesty, and of thy wondrous works. 

6 And men shall speak of the might of thy terrible acts: and I will declare thy greatness. 

7 They shall abundantly utter the memory of thy great goodness, and shall sing of thy righteousness.
