BOTH SIDES OF YOUR CALLING

BOTH SIDES OF YOUR CALLING Every decision comes with a two edged sword, sometimes referred to as pro and con, positive and negative side, or up and down side. Never deciding is all negative, con and down. "How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them that heard him" Hebrews 2:3 (KJV) Never making a complete decision is also completely negative, unproductive and fill with misery.  "A double minded man is unstable in all his ways." James 1:8 (KJV) After you have made up your mind to follow Me, willingly leaving all and dying to self and taking up your cross, you still have a continual decision to make. Shall I fulfill my calling today or not? Your calling is constant. I place it in your heart and it never leaves you. However just like your salvation you can neglect it. Neglecting your calling has some real down sides that you must consider. "When I say unto the wicked, O wicked man , thou shalt surely die; if thou dost not speak to warn the wicked from his way, that wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thine hand." Ezekiel 33:8 (KJV)   Every calling is some how related to building lives. Every project must be connected to the life of a soul or it is not a kingdom calling. If it does not benefit another human being, other that yourself, it is not My calling. Every time you neglect your calling, someone suffers, that's the plain and simple negative to all callings. Every day you neglect to feed the hungry somebody dies. Every moment you live for self, somebody suffers. When you have a calling you have a new motto, My luxury is another mans suffering. Why should you have two, when there is someone else with none? "But whoso hath this world's good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him?" 1 John 3:17 (KJV) Please do not come back with the guilt and condemnation escape.  Nor am I  speaking of taking care of the lazy that will not work. These are the plain facts. If a man is drowning and you don't try to save him, he dies. Is it your fault? Before you answer, if the drowning person were your child, and a passerby did not stop to save him, is it his fault you child died? When you take up the cross of your calling, everything in your life from that point is related to your calling.  There are no vacations away from your calling. A lifeguard is a lifeguard on or off duty. If a person is drowning and the lifeguard says I am off duty, he is no lifeguard. Your calling is not a job, it is your life, your passion, your cross, your joy and your tears all in one. "And the Lord said unto Cain, Where is Abel thy brother? And he said, I know not: Am I my brother's keeper?" Genesis 4:9 Yes you are your brothers keeper, because you are one body.  Your calling will consume you, without destroying you. The burning bush is the symbol of a calling. It constantly burns, but is never consumed by the passionate fire. Energy seems endless when you operate in your calling. Wisdom and knowledge are abundant and joy is always deep within, because you are doing what I designed you to do.   Neglecting you calling brings the negative side of the sword. Friends, neighbors and strangers all suffer while you do what you flesh dictates. You say, "But God wants Me to have fun", wrong! Fun is flesh, but joy is the reward for following Me. There is eternal laughter in the kingdom, but it's because everyone is laughing and enjoying the kingdom. As long as there is one left outside, cold and hungry, My Spirit will not let the called one, join the party. "How think ye? if a man have an hundred sheep, and one of them be gone astray, doth he not leave the ninety and nine, and goeth into the mountains, and seeketh that which is gone astray? [13] And if so be that he find it, verily I say unto you, he rejoiceth more of that sheep , than of the ninety and nine which went not astray. [14] Even so it is not the will of your Father which is in heaven, that one of these little ones should perish." Matthew 18:12-14 (KJV) Now, you know why many are called but few are chosen. If you take up the cross of your calling you are chosen, and a life of passion begins, with joy rewarding each morning. If you neglect or refuse you calling you are of all men most miserable, as happiness is always temporary and as you  travel in circles, returning to the same failures over and over. "The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints," Ephesians 1:18 (KJV)     "For many are called (invited and summoned), but few are chosen." Matthew 22:14 (AMP) The joy is set before you, if you will take up your cross and follow Me in your calling. Today you can decide to enter the joy of your Lord.

ARE WE THERE YET?

ARE WE THERE YET? Like little children in the back seat, I keep hearing, "are we there yet?" Thousands of believers are pestering Me with this question. They are always talking about moving to the next level. There are no levels, you are on a narrow road straight road. Now I will ask the question, are we where yet? Where do you think I am taking you, and for what reason? Most of you need to look up and check out the scenery. You will notice the same view, that you saw a year ago, because we have been traveling in circles for a long time. "They wandered in the wilderness in a solitary way; they found no city to dwell in."Psalm 107:4 (KJV)  Yes, you are there! On one of two roads, a broad road or a narrow road. Or if you are confused, afraid, angry and worn out, you might be in between the two roads or near the end of the broad road. There is no stopping place on either road.  "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, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus." Philippians 3:13-14(KJV)  Both roads are made of time and time stops for no one except Me. You are moving down one of the roads one heartbeat at a time, as long as your heart beats you are traveling life's journey. Every time you ask the question the journey takes you in another circling pattern. In order to move ahead you must stop being concerned about going anywhere, because the day you arrive, is the day you leave the earth. The question is not where, but what? What will you have when you get to the end of the road? You must understand that life is a journey, and yes you are there, on a path with Me or satan. Your actually traveling at a high rate of speed. 100 years is gone before you know it. You are always walking, you are running a race, but you are still walking, you are standing strong, but you are still walking, because time always moves. Many got on board with Me, but never understood the what it was all about. We are not going anywhere for you to get off and say, I have arrived! There is no such place. "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." Philippians 3:12 (KJV) It's all about the trip, and how you handle it. First we take a walk into the depths of your soul, where I show you all the places I want cleaned up. "Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts: [24] And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting."Psalm 139:23-24 (KJV)  When we finally get you looking like Me, then we will walk around displaying My work in you.  Every moment of the trip, My presence is changing  you, more and more into My image.  The narrow road empties out in the kingdom, but the broad road empties in hell. Every mile you walk with Me you are increasing your wealth. You are acquiring all the fruits of the spirit, knowledge and wisdom from above, along with love, joy, and peace. The moment you think you have arrived somewhere, I put you in a holding pattern until you repent of pride and then we continue our journey. If you do not have more faith, love, understanding, and revelation of who I am now, than you did last year then you are in a holding pattern. As you walk straight ahead you grow with each step. "That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God; [11] Strengthened with all might, according to his glorious power, unto all patience and longsuffering with joyfulness;" Colossians 1:10-11 (KJV) Remember the longer you walk, the narrower the road gets, forcing you closer and closer to Me. When we get near the end, the road will be so narrow, we will have to become one, I in you and you in Me. And then you will say, "For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain." Philippians 1:21 (KJV) So do not try to arrive anywhere today, unless you want to leave the planet, just determine to be walking a little closer to Me tonight.

HERE COMES THE WEALTH OF THE WICKED

HERE COMES THE WEALTH OF THE WICKED There is nothing new under the sun, and history will always repeat itself, over and over. What happened in days past with your forefathers was for an example to you. I am the God who never changes, where a thousand years ago is yesterday. Last week Joseph had stockpiles, barns, and silos full of food for My people, that came from the wicked. I gave him so much authority that no one in the world dare question it. "You shall have charge over my house, and all my people shall be governed according to your word with reverence, submission, and obedience. Only in matters of the throne will I be greater than you are." Genesis 41:40 (AMP) The day of repetition has come, those that have been faithful over little I am making ruler over much. You that have been feeding the hundreds, will feed thousands, and you that have been feeding thousands will feed millions. Look for warehouses in excess of 100,000 square feet so I can fill them with pallets of food and supplies. Never before have you seen the abundance, that I have prepared to sustain My people. My glory is about to fill the earth and some of it will come in tractor trailers, boxcars, plane loads and ships.  To all those who have been fearful and unbelievingly hoarding for yourselfs I say, go back home, I cannot use you.  "Now therefore go to, proclaim in the ears of the people, saying, Whosoever is fearful and afraid, let him return and depart early from mount Gilead. And there returned of the people twenty and two thousand; and there remained ten thousand." Judges 7:3 (KJV)  You that have said, I must take care of myself, will now have to take care of yourself. To those who were worried about their own welfare, while others were starving, do not have My heart and have exempted themselves from being part of this glory that will fill the earth. "And the Lord said to Gideon, The men are still too many; bring them down to the water, and I will test them for you there. And he of whom I say to you, This man shall go with you, shall go with you; and he of whom I say to you, This man shall not go with you, shall not go. [5] So he brought the men down to the water, and the Lord said to Gideon, Everyone who laps up the water with his tongue as a dog laps it, you shall set by himself, likewise everyone who bows down on his knees to drink. [6] And the number of those who lapped, putting their hand to their mouth, was 300 men, but all the rest of the people bowed down upon their knees to drink water. [7] And the Lord said to Gideon, With the 300 men who lapped I will deliver you, and give the Midianites into your hand. Let all the others return every man to his home." Judges 7:4-7 (AMP) Great famine is coming, on the earth, and My people will be the distributers of corporate wealth and favor in high places. I own the world, which includes, Walmart, Home Depot, GE, Ford, Barclays bank, Canard lines, American Airlines, General Mills, Kellogg's, NBC, CBS, ABC, FOX, Wall Street, Washington, London, China, they're  all in My hand, to do what ever I say. They will make slaves of the unbelieving and fearful, but give over their wealth and power to those who have been faithful over little. "And Pharaoh said to Joseph, Forasmuch as your God has shown you all this, there is nobody as intelligent and discreet and understanding and wise as you are. [40] You shall have charge over my house, and all my people shall be governed according to your word with reverence, submission, and obedience. Only in matters of the throne will I be greater than you are. [41] Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, See, I have set you over all the land of Egypt. [42] And Pharaoh took off his signet ring from his hand and put it on Joseph''s hand, and arrayed him in official vestments of fine linen and put a gold chain about his neck; [43] He made him to ride in the second chariot which he had, and officials cried before him, Bow the knee! And he set him over all the land of Egypt. [44] And Pharaoh said to Joseph, I am Pharaoh, and without you shall no man lift up his hand or foot in all the land of Egypt. [45] And Pharaoh called Joseph''s name Zaphenath-paneah and he gave him Asenath daughter of Potiphera, priest of On, to be his wife. And Joseph made an inspection tour of all the land of Egypt." Genesis 41:39-45 (AMP) Seek Me night and day and watch what I do, as I shake all that can be shaken. Those that have been faithful cannot be shaken, but will feed My flock, physically and spiritually, world wide.

IT'S NOT WHAT IS LOVE ... IT'S WHO IS LOVE

IT'S NOT WHAT IS LOVE ... IT'S WHO IS LOVE If you always refer to love as an object or an action then you  do not understand Me. I am not the creator of love, I am love. "He who does not love has not become acquainted with God does not and never did know Him, for God is love."  1 John 4:8 (AMP)  You may do many things that look like love, but acts of love are not love, because I am love.  The only way you can love, is to become love by saturating yourself in My presence. I am a Spirit Person and have the unique ability to live inside any human spirit that I choose. Those that choose to come after Me, and seek Me with their whole heart, will find Me. Because they greatly desire Me, they will go through a spiritual osmoses, as I am absorbed into their soul, through their spirit. "My little children, for whom I am again suffering birth pangs until Christ is completely and permanently formed (molded) within you," Galatians 4:19 (AMP) There is a vast difference between showing love, and being love. It looks like real love to give everything to the poor doesn't it? Not so! How about paying the ultimate price and sacrificing your life, surely that's got to be love! Wrong again. You are still under the wrong teaching that love is a verb, but love is a noun, the person of Me. Now this verse will make more sense to you; "Even if I dole out all that I have to the poor in providing food, and if I surrender my body to be burned or in order that I may glory, but have not love (God''s love in me), I gain nothing." 1 Corinthians 13:3 (AMP) Doing the acts of love are momentary and can be done by shear will power. These acts will even touch people's hearts and lead them to me if they are presented right. This seems so much like God, that no one dare question or dispute it, except Me, because I am love and if I am not in you doing it, it's not motivated by Me, love. Sorry to disappoint you but it's not Me, it's human will power with another motivation. I know this is not easy to hear, but you are useless, if this is the case. "And if I have prophetic powers (the gift of interpreting the divine will and purpose), and understand all the secret truths and mysteries and possess all knowledge, and if I have sufficient faith so that I can remove mountains, but have not love (God''s love in me) I am nothing (a useless nobody)." 1 Corinthians 13:2 (AMP) This is why many will be shocked to find out I never was intimately involved with them, even though they were well known for their acts of love. "Many will say to Me on that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name and driven out demons in Your name and done many mighty works in Your name? [23] And then I will say to them openly (publicly), I never knew you; depart from Me, you who act wickedly disregarding My commands." Matthew 7:22-23 (AMP) Don't get Me wrong, I will use all their acts of love to benefit My kingdom, but in the end, they will not be part of it. What a shame, all because they would not give Me their whole heart. To spend three or four hours a day with Me is way to much for them. There was time for work, family, TV, recreation, meals, study, and even acts of love, but no time to be intimate with Me. They even put down and secretly make fun of those that wait long hours with Me. The average shepherd in the west spends less than five minutes a day praying, much less being intimate with Me. "For although they hold a form of piety (true religion), they deny and reject and are strangers to the power of it their conduct belies the genuineness of their profession. Avoid all such people turn away from them." 2 Timothy 3:5 (AMP) You may be afraid to say it, but I am not, I do not know them. They look good, sound good, and do acts of love, but I don't know them! "These people draw near Me with their mouths and honor Me with their lips, but their hearts hold off and are far away from Me." Matthew 15:8  I am loving through those that I know, and they stand out because you want to hang around them. It's not them, it's Me in them that draws people. They will do acts of love when no one is looking, because it's Me doing it, and I don't care if people see Me or not. All they live for, is receiving love and giving it away, receiving Me and giving Me away. "To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:" Colossians 1:27 (KJV) Watch them when they worship Me, it's intense, because they are crazy about Me, they do not care what people think. Their facial expressions, body language and verbal expressions are all focused on Me alone in worship, and they forget about who's around them. The do this privately and publicly, it makes no difference, because it's Me in them, and they are citizens of another world. If doing acts of love is something you have to think about, and motivate yourself to do, by the act of your will, it's not love. You are copying the actions of love, I will use these acts, but you are not spending enough time in My presence, and you need to face it, I don't know you yet! "And we know (understand, recognize, are conscious of, by observation and by experience) and believe (adhere to and put faith in and rely on) the love God cherishes for us. God is love, and he who dwells and continues in love dwells and continues in God, and God dwells and continues in him. [18] There is no fear in love dread does not exist, but full-grown (complete, perfect) love turns fear out of doors and expels every trace of terror! For fear brings with it the thought of punishment, and so he who is afraid has not reached the full maturity of love is not yet grown into love''s complete perfection. [19] We love Him, because He first loved us."  1 John 4:16,18-19 (AMP) Now here is My check list, compare My love to what you have and see if you need to spend more time with Me; MY LOVE: endures long and is patient and kind;  MY love never is envious nor boils over with jealousy, is not boastful or vainglorious, does not display itself haughtily.  [5] MY LOVE is not conceited (arrogant and inflated with pride); it is not rude (unmannerly) and does not act unbecomingly.  MY LOVE does not insist on its own rights or its own way, for it is not self-seeking;  MY LOVE is not touchy or fretful or resentful;  MY LOVE takes no account of the evil done to it it pays no attention to a suffered wrong.  [6] MY LOVE does not rejoice at injustice and unrighteousness, but rejoices when right and truth prevail. [7] MY Love bears up under anything and everything that comes, is ever ready to believe the best of every person, its hopes are fadeless under all circumstances,  MY LOVE endures everything without weakening.  [8]MY Love never fails never fades out or becomes obsolete or comes to an end...  Do you need some more of MY LOVE?  Why don't you accept My invitation to spend a few hours a day with Me, so I can be formed in you, then you can truly say, I know who love is, because He lives in Me and then "... greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world." 1 John 4:4 (KJV)

NOW WHAT ARE YOU WORRIED ABOUT???

NOW WHAT ARE YOU WORRIED ABOUT??? Wow! Every time I turn a bad situation around for good, you are worried about something else. I have been doing this for years now and you still don't get it. How long will it be before you start trusting Me? When did I ever let you down? Just because you did not get what you wanted, does not mean I failed you. I am not going to give you everything you want, until you are completely dead to self. ..."O unbelieving generation without any faith! How long shall I have to do with you? How long am I to bear with you? Bring him to Me." Mark 9:19 (AMP) I left a supernatural peace for you that the rest of the world does not have. There is nothing like it anywhere. The rich and famous of the world are willing to pay anything for it and can't obtain it, because I left it for you only. Why are you not living in perfect peace? You call yourself a believer, well what do you believe? "Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble. [20] But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?" James 2:19-20 (KJV)  The peace you have, tells Me what you believe. You believe one of these days, I am going to fail you, that's why you pay so much for insurance, just in case I fail. You praised Me for meeting the needs of a hundred yesterday's and yet you are still worried about tomorrow's. When, might I ask, will this vicious cycle end? "But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is alive and green and tomorrow is tossed into the furnace, will He not much more surely clothe you, O you of little faith?" Matthew 6:30 (AMP) Let me tell you when it will end? It will end the day you turn off the TV, the radio, and stop the newspaper and get alone with Me. Truly, You have more faith in the lying news anchorman than you do in Me. You spend more time repeating what he said, than what I said. I hear your words throughout the day! You proclaim the bad news every day, when you say, " Did you hear what they said on the news". Why do you care what they said on the news, thats the worlds news, they even tell you it's world news. Did you ever think to turn on kingdom news, you turn it on, in your prayer closet. I will give you the latest news! And it will truly be fair and balanced; Light vs. Darkness, Abundance vs. Lack, Health vs. Sickness, Life vs. Death. "But if God so clothes the grass in the field, which is alive today, and tomorrow is thrown into the furnace, how much more will He clothe you, O you people of little faith?" Luke 12:28 (AMP) The next time you turn on the TV I want you to say, "let's see what the devil has to say to me today". When you hear something really bad, watch how long it takes you to tell somebody. Compare that to when I tell you all the victories that I have for you and you hardly mention them. Then ask yourself this question, "why am I called a believer?" Stop watching the world news tonight and listen to My kingdom broadcast which is on 24/7. Become a real believer today!  Here is today's headline; A THOUSAND MAY FALL at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand, but it shall not come near you." Psalm 91:7 (AMP) Page two: Local News; ..." For truly I say to you, if you have faith that is living like a grain of mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, Move from here to yonder place, and it will move; and nothing will be impossible to you." Matthew 17:20 (AMP). And now My commercial: "Therefore I counsel you to purchase from Me gold refined and tested by fire, that you may be truly wealthy, and white clothes to clothe you and to keep the shame of your nudity from being seen, and salve to put on your eyes, that you may see." Revelation 3:18 (AMP)  My final foot note: "Peace I leave with you; My own peace I now give and bequeath to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Do not let your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid. Stop allowing yourselves to be agitated and disturbed; and do not permit yourselves to be fearful and intimidated and cowardly and unsettled." John 14:27 (AMP)

BLOCKING KINGDOM TRAFFIC

BLOCKING KINGDOM TRAFFIC When disaster happens a million people can be without water. Rescuers from around the world will come to give aid. One of the most crucial things that is always needed is pure drinking water. Water is the first sign of life wherever you go, wether in a desert or on a distant planet.  It is the same in My kingdom. When you are born again, you receive the water of life, that you will never thirst again.  "But whoever takes a drink of the water that I will give him shall never, no never, be thirsty any more. But the water that I will give him shall become a spring of water welling up (flowing, bubbling) continually within him unto (into, for) eternal life." John 4:14 (AMP)   You never thirst again because, I am the source of the spring and if I am in you the water is always flowing out of your belly.  How foolish it would be for rescuers to rush hundreds of miles and not bring water. Empty handed relief workers bring more pain. The thought was nice, but if you are not prepared to bring relief by at least getting your hands dirty, you become part of the problem, by blocking traffic. How painful it is, when thirsty people see rescuers coming and when they arrive they have no water. The pain of disappointment added to their misery, is almost more than they can bare.  Every morning thousands of believers leave their homes and rush into a world of people dying of thirst and they bring no water. Most do not even have enough for themselves to last the day. You claim to know Me, the source of living water, yet you bring no water. The thirsty world is so disappointed because no relief has come, because the one claiming to know the source of the water supply, shows up empty handed. "For you say, I am rich; I have prospered and grown wealthy, and I am in need of nothing; and you do not realize and understand that you are wretched, pitiable, poor, blind, and naked". Revelation 3:17 (AMP) Do not leave your house in the morning without filling up your own container and then enough for the thirsty I will lead you too that day. If you don't wait on Me every day you have nothing but empty words to hand to a dying world. All you are doing is blocking traffic and those who have the water of  life can't get through. If you have not waited on Me please do not claim that you have water to pass out. Go back to the secret place and let Me fill you up, then join the rescue effort. "He who believes in Me who cleaves to and trusts in and relies on Me as the Scripture has said, From his innermost being shall flow continuously springs and rivers of living water." John 7:38 (AMP)  "And He sent two of His disciples and said to them, Go into the city, and a man carrying an earthen jar or pitcher of water will meet you; follow him." Mark 14:13 (AMP) 

IS YOUR GOD IS A SMALL GOD?

IS YOUR GOD IS A SMALL GOD? Everybody is thrilled with BIG, and especially christians when they describe Me.  When they sing praise to Me it's mostly about how big I am, how vast My resources are, the size of My throne, and how big My hands are. How big my power, My love, My mercy and My grace is. This is all true and you will find great comfort in this. The main reason you see Me as the biggest of everything is that you see your enemy as big, and you are counting on Me being bigger so I can come to your rescue on a daily basis. But when you grow up spiritually you will understand how big I have made you in comparison to your enemy. When I gave you the keys to the kingdom, I gave you gigantic authority. When you use this authority you will see how little effort it takes to defeat your enemy. "Behold! I have given you authority and power to trample upon serpents and scorpions, and physical and mental strength and ability over all the power that the enemy possesses; and nothing shall in any way harm you." Luke 10:19 (AMP) However, you will also understand, I am a very small God too, because if I were only gigantic, I could not fit into your house, or your car, sit at your table, or get behind your steering wheel. When you only see Me as big, you miss most of Me. Ninety percent of your life is made up of millions of small things. Going to the store, catching a cold, forgetting your keys, locking yourself out, stubbing your toe, smelling a sweet savor, laughing, taking a shower, eating, and riding a bike on a beautiful day, may be just a few things of the thousands of tiny insignificant things that make up a single day in your life. When you see Me as only big you leave Me out of small, which is most of your life.  "He will give His angels especial charge over you to accompany and defend and preserve you in all your ways of obedience and service. [12] They shall bear you up on their hands, lest you dash your foot against a stone." Psalm 91:11-12 (AMP) Did you know I am interested in your body, and the cells that make it up. You ask me to bless your food but you never ask Me what to eat. You ask Me to give you favor in high places, but you never ask Me what you should wear. "Tell all who are expert, whom I have endowed with skill and good judgment, that they shall make Aaron''s garments to sanctify him for My priesthood." Exodus 28:3 (AMP) So many times I have said turn right or left and you never gave it a thought that it was Me, because you thought I was too big to be involved in the insignificant. But when you did not turn and you had a crash, you say, "where was God". I created the universe, yet I walked forty miles out of My way to meet a woman that everybody thought was worthless! "It was necessary for Him to go through Samaria. [7] Presently, when a woman of Samaria came along to draw water, Jesus said to her, Give Me a drink" John 4:4,7 (AMP)   You must recognize that the big problems in your life, come from small things going wrong. The very big trauma of the accident that sent your loved one to the hospital for several weeks, and the months in rehabilitation, was caused by just the simple little turning of their head when they should have been looking ahead. They were only running to the store to get some bread, it was to small a trip to pray for My protection. When you go on a long trip, you take several minutes to pray, what do you think, the big miles make it big enough for Me to get involved. "Are not two little sparrows sold for a penny? And yet not one of them will fall to the ground without your Father''s leave (consent) and notice. [30] But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. [31] Fear not, then; you are of more value than many sparrows." Matthew 10:29-31 (AMP) If I keep track of the number of hairs on your head, then why would I not want to prevent you from stubbing your toe? If I heal your sicknesses, why would I not want to prevent sickness, by telling what not to eat? If I want you to have joy, why would I want you to marry the wrong person and live in misery? Did you ever think to involve Me in your choice of a mate, before you became involved? Consider this, you come through dozens of the really tough and dangerous situations without a scratch, because you pray, thinking they are big enough to involve Me. But, almost daily, you have trouble, pain and sorrow coming from little things going wrong. Could it be because you don't pray about them, thinking I can't be bothered with the small stuff? One you pray over the other you don't. In one, you involve Me and the other you don't. One causes you joy, the other sorrow. Are you starting to get the picture. I am offering you trouble free days, except for when I am testing your perseverance, patience and love. Think of it, less forgetting things, less searching for things, less cuts and bruises, more favor in high places, are all in your tomorrows, as soon as you involve Me in all the small things that make up your life. It's true I am a big God but I am small enough to count the hairs on your head too. Why not start each day by giving Me your schedule and let Me run your day, let Me pick your clothes, your food, your friends, where you work, what courses you take, your customers, where to shop, what to buy and what not to buy. Why don't you talk to Me about everything in your life, you will save yourself a ton of headaches and live longer too. Proverbs 3:6-7 (AMP) In all your ways know, recognize, and acknowledge Him, and He will direct and make straight and plain your paths. [7] Be not wise in your own eyes; reverently fear and worship the Lord and turn entirely away from evil.

YOU CALL ME LORD ... WELL WHAT IF;

YOU CALL ME LORD ... WELL WHAT IF; I asked you to care for only one person your whole life? What if that person were not able to take care of themselves? What if no one ever noticed what you did, your whole life? What if your Christian friends constantly heaped condemnation on you because it looked like you were not doing anything? Knowing all this, would you still do it? What if this person were Me? ... "I was sick, and ye visited me:"  Matthew 25:36 (KJV)  Just suppose I chose to let you go to prison for ten years, and in that prison they beat you any time you spoke about Me. Would you praise Me or think I lied to you and abandoned you? Would you still say, "I'll go where you want Me to go"? What if I was your cell mate? ..." I was in prison, and ye came unto me". Matthew 25:36 (KJV) You always say you trust Me with your life, but can you trust Me with your death? What if I want you to bring Me glory by being a martyr for Me? Even now, You are shunning the very thought it! You are saying, God would never ask me to go that way and your mind is scurrying for scriptures about My protection. Why don't you include this verse?   ...And others had trial of cruel mockings and scourgings, yea, moreover of bonds and imprisonment: [37] They were stoned, they were sawn asunder, were tempted, were slain with the sword: they wandered about in sheepskins and goatskins; being destitute, afflicted, tormented; [38] (Of whom the world was not worthy:) they wandered in deserts, and in mountains, and in dens and caves of the earth". Hebrews 11:36-38 (KJV) I know you like to skip these verses, maybe even tear the page out, and hope I didn't notice. As an American Christian with a western mindset, martyrdom is unthinkable, but eastern martyrs come home to be with Me everyday. What if I was on the cross next to you?  Would you say, "yes Lord, I will follow you"? ..."Then he said to Jesus, Lord, remember me when You come in Your kingly glory! [43] And He answered him, Truly I tell you, today you shall be with Me in Paradise." Luke 23:42-43 (AMP) These are callings that are regular in the in the eastern nations, but looked on in horror and as one who is being punished for committing some terrible sin, in the western culture. Do you still want to call Me Lord? Many call Me Lord because they believe, I would never ask tis of them, they will not even entertain the thought. Millions have received the martyr's crown, what will you say to them if you refused to give up your vacation? "Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? [23] And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity."Matthew 7:22-23 (KJV)  If I am truly your lord, you will do My will, looking forward to your great reward. I will not call everyone to these callings, but if I am your Lord the answer would be the same. Never despise any one that calls Me lord, just because, if they call Me lord, you let Me be their judge. "And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left. [45] Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me. [46] And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal." Matthew 25:33,45-46 (KJV) Here are two simple kingdom questions that sum it all up, If you answer yes to these, you are in! (1) DID YOU DO WHAT I ASKED? Obedience is love here! I will not ask you, how much you did for Me because, if you really love me, you will do exactly what I ask. What a shame if you wasted your whole life working for Me, and never did what I asked.  "Not everyone who says to Me, Lord, Lord, will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father Who is in heaven." Matthew 7:21 (AMP)  I don't know you! (2) DO I HAVE YOUR WHOLE HEART?  Is there any part of your heart that is still attached to your old life. If so your hands are on the plow, but you are looking back, and you are not fit. ... "No one who puts his hand to the plow and looks back to the things behind is fit for the kingdom of God." Luke 9:62 (AMP).  You still have time to to change you answer!!!

THE KINGDOM HEART

THE KINGDOM HEART  I am the center attraction, and your heart is the stage. Everything in your entire being focuses on what I am doing. Your mind, will, and emotions are captivated by My presence. This is the kingdom heart. Salvation is the first step toward the kingdom, and each step from there on, is one of faith and love. Love draws and motivates, but faith moves you to take each step. No one but you, will determine which step you are on. Being born again allows you to see the kingdom, then it's up to each new born to desire first the milk then the meat. "Jesus answered him, I assure you, most solemnly I tell you, that unless a person is born again (anew, from above), he cannot ever see (know, be acquainted with, and experience) the kingdom of God." John 3:3 (AMP) There is a point when each person will cross over, it is the point of death to self, the point where nothing on earth has any meaning, unless it is for the kings purpose.  This is a matter of the heart only, who is on center stage, to enter the kingdom it must be the King. "No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon."Matthew 6:24 (KJV).  No one can rush you or move your heart from one step to the next, if you are hungry enough, you will come after Me, with your whole heart. I do not condemn you and I do not force you, I draw you and I patiently wait for you, to make your choice. "I call heaven and earth to witness this day against you that I have set before you life and death, the blessings and the curses; therefore choose life, that you and your descendants may live" Deuteronomy 30:19 (AMP) You can stop on any step you decide and remain saved in that level of glory. However, it may never bring you the satisfaction you desire, and it may not allow you to overcome, what is coming on the earth, in the days to come.  "And if those days had not been shortened, no human being would endure and survive, but for the sake of the elect (God''s chosen ones) those days will be shortened." Matthew 24:22 (AMP)   I love, I present, I draw, I call, but you do the deciding. When you decide it's Me you want with your whole heart, that's when I choose you, and place you in the kingdom. "Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you." John 15:16 (KJV) I am a jealous God, and I will not allow you to share you affections with anyone or anything but Me. Your affections determine the kingdom or not. I am waiting in the secret place, for all those who will deny themselves, and come after Me. Come away with Me my beloved and I will show you great and mighty things.   "Then Jesus said to His disciples, If anyone desires to be My disciple, let him deny himself disregard, lose sight of, and forget himself and his own interests and take up his cross and follow Me cleave steadfastly to Me, conform wholly to My example in living and, if need be, in dying, also. [25] For whoever is bent on saving his temporal life his comfort and security here shall lose it eternal life; and whoever loses his life his comfort and security here for My sake shall find it life everlasting." Matthew 16:24-25 (AMP)

KINGDOM ACCOUNTING OR COUNTING THE KINGDOM WAY

KINGDOM ACCOUNTING OR COUNTING THE KINGDOM WAY The worlds method of counting does not compute in the kingdom. In the world the more you add and multiply the more you have and the more you have the more successful you are. But the kingdom adds by subtraction. What you give is never counted, it's what you have left over that is counted. If someone gave $1000.00 and had $1000.00 left over and someone else gave $10.00 and had $1.00 left which gave more? Some will say the thousand giver others the ten giver. Both are wrong! "And Samuel said, Hath the Lord as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the Lord ? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to hearken than the fat of rams."1 Samuel 15:22 (KJV) They both gave the same according to kingdom calculations. I asked the thousand giver to give a thousand dollars, he obeyed, and asked the ten dollar giver to give ten dollars, and he obeyed. Their reward is exactly the same for obedience. Obedience, gets them to the next level, not money. In Uganda giving a widow a bar of soap, may save her soul. In America, Giving a widow a car may ease her hardship. I am running My kingdom according to My purpose and I meet needs accordingly. Giving a car to a widow in Uganda would be foolish. What she needed was a bar of soap and that love that touched her heart and resulted in her salvation. A bar of soap would be considered a joke in America.  My kingdom calculator calculates, obedience x attitude. Ten dollars X joyfully given = big eternal returns. $1000.00 given grudgingly = zip, and calculates as a loss. "And he said, Of a truth I say unto you, that this poor widow hath cast in more than they all: [4] For all these have of their abundance cast in unto the offerings of God: but she of her penury hath cast in all the living that she had." Luke 21:3-4 (KJV)
