I prayed for you Luke 22: 32

Any one can copy paste as I did. However the message is that Jesus prayed for you. Read scripture verse 31 and 32. Satan wants to sift you as wheat.

Can you imagine being tossed to and from in a sifter, because Satan is at work in the world, Oh this is so powerful. I do hope you read all the way through, All though it is about Passover, It is relevant today as it is every day.  Your friends will deny the truth and shun what they do not wish to see. Truth is uncommon and they will walk in the ways of the flesh , filling the desires of the heart, Not the God conscience that they have been filled with through the spirit.  The path is so narrow, My friend. Please consider how narrow. We all may find that we need to tighten up , and stop denying that one that stretched out his hands and arms for you and Died. He came so that we may have life and have it abundantly, " I think abundantly is directed towards the full fruits of the spirit. Not your bank account, your net worth as a earthly citizen, but your net WORTH as a child of GOD. Do you know who you are ?  He draws you near to him, so that you may be presented as righteous, holy, and pure.  To Jesus you are everything. He loves you . No matter what you have done, where you have been, who you have hurt, There is a prayer for salvation, that turns into a belief that transforms everything about you. Your a citizen of heaven and you have an inheritance that you can't even imagine.  Do not be confused by the material things of this world, The king of Darkness wants to keep you busy, busy, busy, distraction after distraction, Need after Need. With Jesus you can find rest. Trust , Love, Joy, Happiness.

Ask yourself are you truly Joyful, I mean down in the pit of your stomach, JOYFUL. If not turn to him who is worthy of " PRAISE"  and " WORSHIP ". You can't loose, God wants to redeem your life, like and exchange , but you have to ask, accept, believe and then live inside His will, not 1/2 the time but all the time, When you fall short repent, ask for forgiveness, then stop that behavior, because power is exalted and lifted high to those who ask. We have no "POWER" because we do not ask for it. We are made in his image, that means you have a POWER supply. Seek ye the kingdom of God and all things will be known to you. You have to seek, knock and then answer when he calls. Faith without work is dead.

I hope this blesses you and gets you to thinking about the real reason your here, how God has spared your life and brought you out of the darkness, the faith of a mustard seed is all you need, Then read, pray and march on like a Child of God, loved and flawless, He has given you a new spirit. When they see Me, ( you ) what do they see. Make them want Jesus, Thirst for him. Be a disciple of the King.

Judas Agrees to Betray Jesus

22 Now the Festival of Unleavened Bread, called the Passover, was approaching, ² and the chief priests and the teachers of the law were looking for some way to get rid of Jesus, for they were afraid of the people. ³ Then Satan entered Judas, called Iscariot, one of the Twelve. ⁴ And Judas went to the chief priests and the officers of the temple guard and discussed with them how he might betray Jesus. ⁵ They were delighted and agreed to give him money. ⁶ He consented, and watched for an opportunity to hand Jesus over to them when no crowd was present.

The Last Supper

⁷ Then came the day of Unleavened Bread on which the Passover lamb had to be sacrificed. ⁸ Jesus sent Peter and John, saying, “Go and make preparations for us to eat the Passover.”
⁹ “Where do you want us to prepare for it?” they asked.
¹⁰ He replied, “As you enter the city, a man carrying a jar of water will meet you. Follow him to the house that he enters, ¹¹ and say to the owner of the house, ‘The Teacher asks: Where is the guest room, where I may eat the Passover with my disciples?’ ¹² He will show you a large room upstairs, all furnished. Make preparations there.”
¹³ They left and found things just as Jesus had told them. So they prepared the Passover.
¹⁴ When the hour came, Jesus and his apostles reclined at the table. ¹⁵ And he said to them, “I have eagerly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer. ¹⁶ For I tell you, I will not eat it again until it finds fulfillment in the kingdom of God.”
¹⁷ After taking the cup, he gave thanks and said, “Take this and divide it among you. ¹⁸ For I tell you I will not drink again from the fruit of the vine until the kingdom of God comes.”
¹⁹ And he took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, “This is my body given for you; do this in remembrance of me.”
²⁰ In the same way, after the supper he took the cup, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you.^{[a] 21} But the hand of him who is going to betray me is with mine on the table. ²² The Son of Man will go as it has been decreed. But woe to that man who betrays him!” ²³ They began to question among themselves which of them it might be who would do this.
²⁴ A dispute also arose among them as to which of them was considered to be greatest. ²⁵ Jesus said to them, “The kings of the Gentiles lord it over them; and those who exercise authority over them call themselves Benefactors. ²⁶ But you are not to be like that. Instead, the greatest among you should be like the youngest, and the one who rules like the one who serves. ²⁷ For who is greater, the one who is at the table or the one who serves? Is it not the one who is at the table? But I am among you as one who serves. ²⁸ You are those who have stood by me in my trials. ²⁹ And I confer on you a kingdom, just as my Father conferred one on me, ³⁰ so that you may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom and sit on thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
³¹ “Simon, Simon, Satan has asked to sift all of you as wheat. ³² But I have prayed for you, Simon, that your faith may not fail. And when you have turned back, strengthen your brothers.”
³³ But he replied, “Lord, I am ready to go with you to prison and to death.”
³⁴ Jesus answered, “I tell you, Peter, before the rooster crows today, you will deny three times that you know me.”
³⁵ Then Jesus asked them, “When I sent you without purse, bag or sandals, did you lack anything?”
“Nothing,” they answered.
³⁶ He said to them, “But now if you have a purse, take it, and also a bag; and if you don’t have a sword, sell your cloak and buy one. ³⁷ It is written: ‘And he was numbered with the transgressors’^[b]; and I tell you that this must be fulfilled in me. Yes, what is written about me is reaching its fulfillment.”
³⁸ The disciples said, “See, Lord, here are two swords.”
“That’s enough!” he replied.

Staying in God's Love

How do we know what is true, what is pure and what is righteous ?  We listen to people all day long every day , tell us what way to go, music , media, preachers, teachers, everyone has the right path to follow, but did you know that the true path, the true way the only way to the path was through Jesus Christ the Son of God. He is the way , the truth and the life.

After reading the open statement,  I pray that you follow along, grab your bible, find out for yourself if what I am sharing is true.  Always seek first the kingdom of God and all things will be shown to you.

                                           JUDE 17-23

Your ministry is coming along well and suddenly , your asking yourself why is it that something just does not seem right, the atmosphere is changing and you can not put your finger on it. Well friends, Remember this " it is not something strange " 17-19

There are going to be those who come along and divide and separate the good, the Will of God, those that are seeking His kingdom and doing his work, they will corrupt and follow their own selfish , fleshly desires and they will do it through Gossip, through immoralities and through wants and needs that feed the human flesh and the darkness of this age. They want to follow and obey the word of God, yet they allow the emotions to direct the path they live instead of dying daily and being new in Christ , they live for today, devouring what ever they may. " This is in your body of Christ , the church you worship in and attend .

                            Remember to take care of your self spiritually vv 20-21

Prayer is talking to God, and Prayer is what unlocks the answers when we listen to the direction of the Holy spirit that dwells in us, Have you ever just been at a loss for words in prayer, then suddenly words came and embraced your prayer that were not your own. That is the workings of the Holy Spirit you have dwelling in you and working through you , because you are a Child of the King and you have been redeemed.  Obeying Gods word builds you up , you have the defense and the sword on your side, to be faithful and to see those that are coming , that do not believe that try and twist the truth. Those that are living in sin, and yet attending worship, praising and believing that the wages of the Sin they are living is, does not really matter to God because his grace forgives them.  OH my friend, Grace is not a card to go forward and to Sin, the bible makes it very clear , about Obedience and diligence . We are not given a free pass to do what ever makes the flesh feel good, just because we can, and God forgives.  I would hate to get to the end of the path and find out that by know means did his Grace allow me to continue in sin, once I have been taught better.  The only way to learn, is to read the leaves of life ( BIBLE ) pray and be a diligent servant and follow his commandments. Not living on foolish desires that fade away and are temporal to this earth.

We have Hope that the Kingdom to come is much more worth loosing the desire of the flesh and turning away from sin, Those come into the church as if something strange is happening and they listen to the corruption that others plant in the thirsty ears , and they start to divide and separate what the One true God had intended , the one true road map to life in Christ, they start to minimize and deduct the teaching of the Lord and they add there own recipe to fit the needs of the selfish desires that are defiling the church and the members in the church. Jude was on a mission to share the truth that The doubters, the distant and the deniers  were going to pull and separate those who love Christ and are doing his Will.

Colossians 2:6-8

 

Spiritual Fullness in Christ

⁶ So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live your lives in him, ⁷ rooted and built up in him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness.
⁸ See to it that no one takes you captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy, which depends on human tradition and the elemental spiritual forces^[a] of this world rather than on Christ.

Verse 8 " See to it that no one takes you captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy " 

Ephesians 2:19-22

 

¹⁹ Consequently, you are no longer foreigners and strangers, but fellow citizens with God’s people and also members of his household, ²⁰ built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus himself as the chief cornerstone. ²¹ In him the whole building is joined together and rises to become a holy temple in the Lord. ²² And in him you too are being built together to become a dwelling in which God lives by his Spirit.

There is that word Spirit again, That is the Holy spirit that dwells in you, build a relationship with this power, Your temple is a Holy temple, Jesus Christ is the cornerstone ! Wow think about that for awhile !

Ephesians 6:18

 

¹⁸ And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people.

This scripture is telling us to pray on ALL occasions, with all kinds of prayer. Let me tell you that HELP is a powerful prayer, when you do not know what to do, HELP, has power to turn the colors of darkness in your life over to the power of the Light.
The most powerful prayer I have ever prayed was this " I don't know, but GOD I know you know, so guide me, lead me , take my will and my life and show me.

Ok Now below is the scripture you have been waiting for this is the whole point, below ! 

Jude 1:17-23

 

A Call to Persevere

¹⁷ But, dear friends, remember what the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ foretold. ¹⁸ They said to you, “In the last times there will be scoffers who will follow their own ungodly desires.” ¹⁹ These are the people who divide you, who follow mere natural instincts and do not have the Spirit.
²⁰ But you, dear friends, by building yourselves up in your most holy faith and praying in the Holy Spirit, ²¹ keep yourselves in God’s love as you wait for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to bring you to eternal life.
²² Be merciful to those who doubt; ²³ save others by snatching them from the fire; to others show mercy, mixed with fear—hating even the clothing stained by corrupted flesh.^[a]

But Dear Friends remember , read above over and over again. We all know a scoffer, someone who follows there own ungodly desires, These are those who divide you, they follow natural instinct and do not have the spirit. ( Yet raise the hands and sing songs of praise, walk away and sin, using the grace card, to be forgiven , NOT SO FRIENDS..

Our Job --- is to be merciful to those who doubt, fellow followers of CHRIST, we have the power to snatch THEM from the fire. We should do this with a trembling of fear of the Lord, a calling to tell the truth, even to friends, who are doing things that are not Godly. We are called to snatch them from the " FIRE " !  We have the ability to tread lightly yet show mercy and speak truth.

Are you willing to build yourself up first spiritually in Christ so that when you run into those who are doubters, and unbelievers, and corrupted in every way. Are you willing to spend time with them to share the truth, of the living Gospel, The love of Jesus Christ.  Can you offer practical help with compassion ?

1 Thessalonians 5:8-11

 

⁸ But since we belong to the day, let us be sober, putting on faith and love as a breastplate, and the hope of salvation as a helmet. ⁹ For God did not appoint us to suffer wrath but to receive salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ. ¹⁰ He died for us so that, whether we are awake or asleep, we may live together with him. ¹¹ Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing.  ( awake or asleep means dead or alive ) in Him.

Do you know that Mercy bends down real low, to build up others in his love.

My prayer is that you found truth in this reading and that you search your heart, many are among us who are distant, yet show up every Sunday, smiling and acting as if all is well. The spirit will show you how to talk, who to talk to , are you ready to listen to the prompt . God is making all things New, his love can never fail.
Are you willing to show someone the real facts, the real truth, are you willing to show someone the finished works of Christ. No more excuses, Grace is not a license to sin !

Lord, may these words touch the life of some, may it change the life of many, may it bear good fruits and be wholesome truths based from your spirit and not mine. In your holy , precious name I pray.

Holy spirit be welcomed in this place http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sjSynw6fN1U

Hands and Feet

http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Titus%202&version=NIV  

                                                  Titus 1 and Titus 2

They say that large things come in small packages.  Well the Book of Titus 1 and the Book of Titus 2 and not very long,  however they are packed with powerful words on what a Christian called to serve looks like and acts like ! 

I want to be your hands ,  I want to be your feet.

 

 

What does it look like to serve a loving God ?  What does suffering for Him mean ? Why do so many terrible things happen to good people ?  I know everyone has wondered this at some time or another .

            Have you ever blamed God for letting you down ?

We all have questions and seek answers, we all at certain points in life feel that God has forsaken us and that the situation or circumstance that we are facing is hopeless. My friend, a explanation is available to us it has all been written. Due to dis-obedience and self seeking desires we begin to fall away from the truth, the very exact truth that breeds life and sets us free from bondage. God knows the plans that he has for us and we are allowed to stray from them, bringing about spiritual pain, emotional stress, financial ruins, until we have had enough we are not going to seek his face in all our affairs. The bible makes if very clear that the path is very narrow, however the path becomes so wide open when we live in obedience and daily die to the flesh. God wants to bless and praise you, and in return he asks us to go forth and bless and praise the land you posses. ( The land I posses ) WHAT ?  Yes, that is correct the land you posses. Were ever you are , what ever you are doing, we are to teach sound doctrine, approved and accepted through our Lord Jesus Christ.

Titus 2:11 -- For the grace of God has appeared that offers salvation to all people. ¹² It teaches us to say “No” to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age, ¹³ while we wait for the blessed hope—the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ, ¹⁴ who gave himself for us to redeem us from all wickedness and to purify for himself a people that are his very own, eager to do what is good.

Say what ? Say "NO" to all the things my flesh cries out for. Yes dear brother, SAY NO ! When you are set apart and holy and righteous in His eyes, and walking in His ways, The word NO flows from you lips like water flowing from a faucet. The reason is because in today's society its a YES , society, everyone wants to be accepted not counting the cost ! Not doing the research and aligning it to scripture. Example -- Everyone is doing it, it can't be so bad, or maybe you use the Grace card as a excuse to go forth and just do what ever you want to do, because you are already forgiven in Him. Well my friend , the bible tells us, that it is better for a man to never have had Jesus as his savior, than it is to have had him and to fall away from his Mercy and Grace, it is like crucifying Him all over again, not believing who He said he is. God is not capable of lying. ( for a side note those little white lies that we spread in order to protect or deny the truth, is not little at all, it is dark, and deceitful and detests the Lord. What flows from the lips is what lives in the overflow of the heart . Honesty is always best, the truth sets captives free.

We have a mission field , whatever your doing, wherever you may be at that is your field to share the gospel the unfailing love of Jesus, the redemption and justification that has been given to you, we are to be a light in the dark, and this world is dark, even on its brightest day.

Do not be deceived for everything that God has, and that is all things, the devil has them too, after all he was cast out because of his arrogance, beauty and disobedience . However their are 2/3 of angels working on your behalf and they are ever present in the time of trouble.

As a people, we have to learn how to praise His holy name in all things.  Well my friend Just died, Praise God, I broke my foot, Praise God, I just lost my Job Praise God. Praise God in all things and be anxious about nothing this is approved and acceptable worship.

Please take some time today to read, Titus 1 and 2. Do cross reference, and take notes, train your mind to focus on the finished work of Christ.
Titus 2:6 Similarly, encourage the young men to be self-controlled. ⁷ In everything set them an example by doing what is good. In your teaching show integrity, seriousness ⁸ and soundness of speech that cannot be condemned, so that those who oppose you may be ashamed because they have nothing bad to say about us.

We are teacher's what are you teaching, do your words match your lifestyle, what you do in private does that match what the public sees. When they look at you , do they see Him, and question , what is different in this person?  Why are they happy in the midst of this storm ? Why are they praising God for trouble?  The answer is simple , trouble shapes your character, your God character.  In order to be like Jesus , we must educate our selves on His character, casting aside our worldly ways and thoughts, actions and detestable ways for self seeking gain.

These are scary times and everyone needs a Savior, a Loving God, A God whom you can trust, A God who has promised to never leave or forsake you, although we have to have a heart condition that praises and believes that he is the resurrected Lord. He came , He died, He rose again, and He is the living Water, the very breath of life.

He has called us to serve, given to each of us a talent and a gift , so many have know idea what that talent is , that gift.  Well if your compassionate, that is your talent, if your blessed with words, that is your talent. It is simple to learn, God gives wisdom to those who seek his heart and seek his face. He shows himself  in miracles, signs and wonders. He is the supernatural, He is the Power source that we lack , He is the alpha and the omega. He is the one who created all things. Learn to depend on his Power and not self-seeking power, Set apart from Jesus we can do nothing that lasts. Nothing. When our seeds are planted in healthy soil, we reap a harvest fit for a king. Fit for a king because he wants us to have all his promises and all his blessing, On earth and in heaven. Learn to pray, and pray out loud, learn to praise , and praise out loud, Learn to sing, Joy will come into your heart. There is NO other name. The power is in the blood, the blood of Jesus, he bore your sin, so that you can walk blameless , forgiven, holding your head high, then sharing His love, and being called to reach the lost, the broken, the adulterer, the drunkard, the lazy , the greedy, there are seven deadly sins. Learn about them. What starts in the darkness, breeds in the emptiness , what shines in the light dies to the love of Christ. Character, learn his Character, then walk in faith, faith is an action word. Faith without works is dead. The Lord can and will break every chain.  Please listen to the song below. Listen with an open heart, pray that Jesus uses this song to empty you of self.  
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-pD2zIuiC2g

Please we are a dying breed, living for self, self seeking, we are not allowed to have things our way and his way, its his way or its spiritual death. Pray , repent, and walk from faith to faith and glory to glory. He is the way , the truth, and the life. Touch someone today, that is unlovable , we are all unlovable , but because He came we are loved and we are a love worth living for, through Him

Written from my heart to yours.
