DO YOU KNOW GOD? DOES HE KNOW YOU? THESE ARE THE TWO MOST IMPORTANT QUESTIONS THAT NEED ANSWERS IN YOUR LIFE.

DO YOU UNDERSTAND HIS LEADINGS IN YOUR DAILY LIFE……WHAT HE WANTS YOU TO FOCUS YOUR ENERGY ON?

JESUS SAID, “MY SHEEP KNOW MY VOICE”.
THE COMBINATION OF PRAYER, READING YOUR BIBLE, AND LISTENING TO HOLY SPIRIT IS HOW GOD TALKS TO YOU.

THE MORE YOU RESPECT AND VALUE THIS RELATIONSHIP THE BETTER AND CLEARER IT WILL BECOME. THIS IS FAR MORE IMPORTANT TO GOD THAN YOUR WORKS.

GOD WANTS TO FIND PEOPLE THAT WILL TRUST HIM. FROM THAT HE FINDS PEOPLE HE CAN TRUST. CAN THE LORD TRUST YOU? HE HAS MUCH TO DO ON EARTH, BECAUSE WE ARE ALL MESSED UP.

HE WORKS HIS PLAN OF REDEMPTION AND “ABUNDANT LIFE” THROUGH HIS SONS AND DAUGHTERS. WE ALL ARE VITAL, IMPORTANT, AND IRREPLACEABLE IN THE PLAN.

THE ONLY PREREQUISITE, TO YOU FULFILLING SUCCESSFULLY YOUR INDIVIDUAL MINISTRY FOR GOD IS THAT YOU KNOW HIM AND HE KNOWS YOU.

IT IS NOT ABOUT HOW MUCH YOU HAVE MESSED UP YOUR LIFE IN THE PAST. DOES NOT MATTER HOW POPULAR OR INFLUENTIAL YOU ARE. HE IS READY RIGHT NOW TO USE WHAT YOU WILL GIVE HIM OF YOURSELF.

NOTHING ON EARTH IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN HAVING THIS RELATINSHIP WITH WITH FATHER GOD THROUGH JESUS CHRIST. ***”NOTHING”***

James 1:19
Amplifed….

When there are many words, transgression and offences are unavoidable,

but he that controls his lips and keeps his silence is wise.

James 1:19
Amplifed….

Understand this, my beloved brothers and sisters. Let everyone be quick to hear (be a careful, thoughtful listener), slow to speak
(a speaker of carefully chosen words and),
Slow to anger (patient, reflective, forgiving);

*** IT IS AN EPIDEMIC! EVERYONE TRYING TO OUT TALK THE OTHER TO GET THEIR POINT ACROSS. ***

*** THE MORE WORDS MULTIPLIED AND PUT OUT THERE….AND LOUDER IS THE ONE
WHO’S POINT GETS THROUGH. ***

*** I AM FINDING VERY FEW PEOPLE THAT ACTUALLY LISTEN AND VALUE WHAT I
SAY. ***

*** I FIND IT IN CHRISTIAN CIRCLES….ALL TALK NO LISTEN. ***

*** BE QUICK TO HEAR SLOW TO SPEAK, SLOW TO ANGER. ***

THIS WILL FIX MANY PROBLEMS THAT WE HAVE AND AVOID MORE.

*** IT IS AN EPIDEMIC IN AMERICA, THE SQUEAKY WHEEL GETS THE GREASE.
CONTROLLING THE NARRATIVE AT ALL COSTS. ***

*** TALKING IS ONLY HALF OF COMMUNICATING. ***

Isaiah 55:6

Seek the Lord while he may be found; call on him while he is near.

*** THE LORD IS NOT FAR FROM ANY ONE OF US. ***

*** HE IS AS CLOSE AS YOUR NEXT PRAYER TO HIM, SEEKING HIS PRESENCE AND
HELP. ***

*** HE IS AS CLOSE AS THE PAGES OF YOUR BIBLE….READY TO SPEAK TO YOU THROUGH HIS WORD. ***

*** HE ONLY DISTANCES HIMSELF FROM YOU WHEN YOU ARE PROUD, ARROGANT,
OR WHEN YOU SHUT HIM OUT. ***

*** HE IS THE VINE AND WE ARE THE BRANCHES. ***

*** DRAW NEAR TO GOD AND HE WILL DRAW NEAR TO YOU. ***

*** HE IS WAITING FOR YOU, SO HE CAN FILL YOU WITH HIMSELF. ***

*** HE DESIRES INTIMACY WITH YOU AND SWEET FELLOWSHIP. ***

*** WHAT DO YOU WANT? ***

Genesis: 13,14
Amplifed….

God daid to Noah, “I intend to make an end of all that lives, for through men the land is filled with violence; and behold. I am about to destroy them together with the land.

“Make yourself an ark of gopher wood; make in it rooms (stalls, pens, coops, nests, cages,
compartments) and coat it inside and out with pitch (bitumen).

*** GOD SAID THE REASON HE WAS WAS GOING TO DESTROY MANKIND WAS “VIOLENCE “. ***

*** THERE WAS LOADS OF SINS GOING ON THAT WERE OFFENSIVE TO GOD, BUT WHAT HE HAD TO STOP WAS THE “VIOLENCE “. **

*** “THEIR THOUGHTS WERE ON EVIL CONTINUALLY “. ***

*** HOW CAN PEOPLE FIND A PEACEFUL EXSISTANCE WITH ACTS OF VIOLENCE FILLING THE LAND? ***

****************************************

JESUS IS OUR ARK OF SAFETY AND ESCAPE
FROM VIOLENCE.

AS THE DAYS OF NOAH WERE… SO SHALL THE COMMING OF THE SON OF MAN BE.

WE ARE IN A TIME THAT VIOLENCE IS THE CHOSEN METHOD TO GET YOUR WAY.

THOUSANDS KILLED IN UKRAINE AND BEFORE IT IS DONE THOUSANDS WILL BE KILLED IN ISRAEL/GAZA.

BOTH OF THESE WERE UNPROVOKED ATTACKS ON PEOPLE WANTING TO LIVE IN PEACE.

23% OF PEOPLE IN AMERICA THINK THAT VIOLENCE IS JUSTIFIABLE TO CARRY OUT POLITICAL OBJECTIVES.

18 DEAD AND COUNTING IN LEWISTON MAIN WITH THE GUNMAN STILL ON THE RUN WITH HIS AR-15.

“LOOK UP FOR YOUR REDEMPTION DRAWS NEAR”.

Paul was effective in his message for the Lord. So effective they said “he has turned the world upside down”. He did all as a tent maker by day and a preacher in the evening.

He supported those who helped him in the ministry with his tent making. He recruited
Priscilla and Aquila to spread the good news of Jesus Christ. They were tent makers also and that association led to ministry bond.

The buildings that gatherings of followers
met in were the homes of the believers. Everyone had input in the assemblies and were encouraged and free to release their
Gift of the Spirit. Everyone was being led
by the holy Spirit, and the Lord Jesus Christ
was the leader.

I said all that to say this……WHY DO WE HAVE SO MANY PROFESSIONAL CHRISTIANS NOW? WHY ALL THE PAID STAFF AND PROGRAMS THAT LOOK MORE LIKE A SECULAR MONEY MAKING OPERATION? WHY THE HUGE BUILDINGS AND MEGA CHURCHES THAT NEED MILLIONS OF DOLLARS JUST TO STAY IN BUSINESS?

Why are so many celebrity Christian leaders
seemingly needed to keep this all up?

WE NEED MORE WORKING MEN THAT LOVE GOD PROMOTED IN MINISTRY. MEN THAT UNDERSTAND WHAT REAL LIFE IS ABOUT! MEN THAT CAN RELATE TO THE PRESSURES AND EXPERIENCE OF WHAT MOST PEOPLE LIVE.

Psalms 5:11,12
Amplifed….

But let all who take refuge and put their trust in you rejoice, let them ever sing for joy; because you cover and shelter them,

Let those who love your name be joyful and exult in you.

For you, O Lord, bless the righteous man
(the one who is in right standing with you);
you surround him with favor as with a
shield.

*** TAKE REFUGE AND TRUST IN THE
LORD. ***

*** REJOICE IN THE LORD, SING FOR
JOY. ***

*** THE LORD IS YOUR COVER AND
SHELTER. ***

*** LOVE THE NAME OF JESUS WHO HAS PUT US IN RIGHT STANDING WITH GOD OUR FATHER. ***

*** THE LORD WILL BLESS THE RIGHTEOUS MAN. ***

*** YOU WILL SURROUND HIM WITH FAVOR AS WITH A SHIELD. ***

*** FAVOR IS A BEAUTIFUL THING TO
HAVE. ***

*** IT IS YOUR SHIELD AND COVER FROM
GOD. ***

*** THINK ABOUT WHAT THAT MEANS TO YOU TODAY AND REJOICE, EXULT “IN CHRIST,” AND SING ! ! ! ***

Matthew 5:23,24
Amplifed….

“So if you are presenting your offering at the alter, and while there you remember that your brother has something (such as a grievance or legitimate complaint) against you,

Leave your offering there at the alter and go.
First make peace with your brother, and then come and present your offering.

*** MAKING PEACE WITH YOUR BROTHER IS THE PRIORITY WITH JESUS CHRIST. ***

*** THIS COULD BE AN EASY FIX, SUCH AS SAYING….”I’M SORRY”. ***

*** IT COULD ALSO TAKE RESTORATION OF THINGS TAKEN THROUGH INJUSTICE. ***

*** LET YOUR HEART BE YOUR GUIDE AND YOUR CONSCIENCE. ***

*** THIS IS FOR THOSE SEEKING PEACE AND RECONCILIATION. ***

*** THIS IS THE WAY TO DEFEAT THE DEVIL
AND RESTORE YOUR CONNECTION WITH GOD AND YOUR BROTHER. ***

*** “NOW”, HE WILL EXCEPT YOUR OFFERING. ***

Matthew 7:7-11
Amplifed….

“Ask and keep on asking and it will be given to you; seek and keep on seeking and you will find; knock and keep on knocking and the door will be opened to you.

“For everyone who keeps on asking recieves,
and he who keeps on seeking finds, and he who keeps on knocking, it will be opened.

“Or what man is there among you who, if his son asks for bread, will (instead) give him a stone?

“Or if he asks for a fish, will (instead) give him a snake?

“If you then, evil (sinful by nature) as you are,
know how to give good and advantageous gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven (perfect ss he is) give what is good and advantageous to those who keep on asking him.

*** THIS IS JESUS CHRIST TEACHING YOU ABOUT PERSISTENT, CONSTANT
PRAYER. ***

*** HE IS ALSO NULLIFYING THOSE WHO SAY “BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU PRAY
FOR”. ***

*** THE WHOLE POINT TO WHAT JESUS IS SAYING IS “IF YOU DON’T QUIT PRAYING YOU WILL GET WHAT YOU ARE ASKING
FOR”. ***

*** IT WILL BE GOOD AND ADVANTAGEOUS
FOR YOU. ***

1 Timothy 2:5
Amplifed….

For there is (only) one God, and (only) one mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus,

*** FATHER GOD HAS DETERMINED THAT ALL MANKIND MUST HAVE A MEDIATOR TO COME BEFORE HIM. ***

*** WITH THAT SAID….HE IS THE ONLY MEDIATOR YOU NEED, AS NO OTHER WILL BE EXCEPTED. ***

*** IF YOU THINK ABOUT THIS…..IT SIMPLIFIES YOUR LIFE COMPLETELY. ***

*** YOU DON’T NEED ANYONE ELSE TO RECOMEND YOU TO GOD’S FAVOR. ***

*** YOU DO NOT NEED TO PLEASE ANYONE ELSE TO GET YOUR ANSWER FROM FATHER
GOD. ***

*** THE ONE WHO DIED ON THE CROSS FOR YOU IS ENOUGH, YOU CAN’T DO ANY BETTER THAN HIM. ***

*** YOU ARE COMPLETE IN HIM THE HEAD OF ALL PRINCIPALITY AND POWER. ***

*** JESUS HAS RECOMENDED YOU FOR FAVOR WITH HIS FATHER….HE PUTS HIS NAME OUT THERE FOR YOU. ***

WHAT CAN I SAY?…..

*** COME BOLDLY BEFORE THE THRONE OF GRACE TO FIND MERCY AND GRACE TO HELP IN TIME OF NEED. ***

Micah 6:6-8
Amplifed….

With what shall I come before the Lord (to honor him), and bow myself before God on high?

Shall I come before him with burnt offerings,
with yearling calves?

Will the Lord be delighted with thousands of rams, or with ten thousand rivers of oil?

Shall I present my firstborn for my acts of rebellion, the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?

He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you

Except to be just, and to love (and to diligently practice) kindness (compassion),
and to walk humbly with your God (setting aside any overblown sense of importance or self-righteous)?

*** GOD IS SAYING “DO NOT TRY TO PLEASE ME WITH YOUR OFFERINGS OF WEALTH. **

*** DO NOT TRY TO OFFER ME YOUR CHILDREN FOR YOUR REBELLION! ***

*** JESUS CHRIST IS NOT IMPRESSED AT ALL WITH THE RICHES YOU CAN BRING HIM. ***

*** YOUR 10% IS NOT MOVING THE HAND OF GOD OR THAT HE NEEDS IT AT ALL. **

******************************************

HE * HAS* TOLD*YOU*, WHAT* IS * GOOD

*** DO JUSTICE, AND LOVE MERCY. ***

*** WALK HUMBLY WITH YOUR GOD. ***

I CAN SEE ALL THIS IN THE SERMON ON THE MOUNT….JESUS CHRIST BRINGING OUT WHAT FATHER GOD REALLY WANTS HIS CHILDREN TO DO.

WOULD YOU PRAY?

*** SHOW ME TO DO JUSTICE RIGHT
NOW. ***

*** SHOW ME GOD HOW TO LOVE
MERCY. ***

*** TEACH ME TO WALK HUMBLY WITH YOU MY FATHER. ***
