THE BLOOD OF JESUS

One night in a church service a young woman felt the tug of God
at her heart; she responded to God's call and accepted Jesus as her Lord and Savior. The young woman had a very rough past, involving alcohol,
drugs, and prostitution but the change in her was evident.

As time went on she became a faithful member of the church.
She eventually became involved in the ministry, teaching young children.

It was not very long until this faithful young woman had caught the eye and heart of the pastor's son. The relationship grew and they began to make wedding plans.

This is when the problems began.
You see, about one half of the church did not think that a woman
with a past such as hers was suitable for a pastor's son.

The church began to argue and fight about the matter.
So they decided to have a meeting. 

As the people made their arguments and tensions increased,
the meeting was getting completely out of hand.

The young woman became very upset about all the things
being brought up about her past,

as she began to cry the pastor's son stood to speak.
He could not bear the pain it was causing his wife to be.
He began to speak and his statement was this: 

'My fiancée’s past is not what is on trial here.

What you are questioning is the ability of the blood of Jesus
to wash away sin. Today you have put the blood of Jesus on trial.
So, does it wash away sin or not?' 

The whole church began to weep as they realized that they had been slandering the blood of the Lord Jesus Christ.

Too often, even as Christians, we bring up the past
and use it as a weapon against our brothers and sisters.

Forgiveness is a very foundational part of the Gospel
of our Lord Jesus Christ.

If the blood of Jesus does not cleanse the other person completely
then it cannot cleanse us completely.

If that is the case, then we are all in a lot of trouble.

What can wash away my sins?
Nothing but the blood of Jesus! End of case!!!!

'Cast thy burden upon the Lord, and he shall sustain thee
he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved.'
(Psalm 55:23)

 

This Prayer is powerful and prayer is one of the best gifts we receive.
There is no cost but a lot of rewards, let's continue to pray for one another.

Here is the Prayer:

“Father, I ask you to bless my friends, relatives
and every person reading this right now.
Show them a new revelation of your love and power.

Holy Spirit, I ask you to minister to their spirit at this very moment.
Where there is pain, give them your peace and mercy.
Where there is self-doubt, release a renewed confidence through your grace.
In Jesus' precious name I pray, Amen and Amen.”

DEALING WITH DISAPPOINTMENT

"But we have this treasure in earthen vessels."  ( 2 Corinthians 4:7)

 Disappointment in ourselves. It's potentially 
 the most debilitating kind of disappointment because it can throw you
 into a downward spiral that's hard to stop or recover from.

      Peter had sworn undying love and fidelity to Jesus. "Lord, 
 everybody else may abandon you, but not me! I'm yours till death"

 (See  Mt 26:33-75). And he meant every word of it. But under the pressures
 surrounding the crucifixion he yields, and three times denies knowing
 Jesus. Later, remembering Jesus' words, "Before the rooster crows,
 you'll deny me three times," Peter, heartbroken by his own dismal
 failure, "went outside and wept bitterly" (Lk 22:62 NIV). Ever asked,
 "God, how can you possibly use someone as messed up as me?" Peter failed
 to meet his own expectations and went on a downer. But Jesus wasn't
 shocked. He was well aware of Peter's flaws when he called him into the
 ministry. He also knew that his blustering, outspoken disciple had a
 tender heart, so He extended grace to him rather than remove him from
office. When Christ gave post-resurrection orders to "tell His disciples
and Peter" (Mk 16:7 NIV) to meet Him in Galilee , He reaffirmed His
 choice of the failed disciple. The rest of Peter's story is New
Testament history.

     When (not if!) you confront failure:

 (1) Don't add insult to  injury by letting disappointment mire you

 in hopelessness and despair.
 (2) Humble yourself and repent. Confess your sin; don't excuse,
rationalize or blame circumstances and people. 

 (3) Receive God's grace  and forgiveness by faith, not by feelings.

 Don't let Satan convince you your case is beyond grace.

 (4) Get whatever help you need to get back on  track - sooner, not later.


 "Do not fear. Only believe, and she will be saved."--Luke 8:50

PRAISING GOD FOR LIFE

* Because of trial or pain
* Continue in thanksgiving
* Do not begin to blame
* Even when the times are hard
* Fierce winds are bound to blow

* Hold on to what you know
* Imagine life without His love
* Joy would cease to be
* Keep thanking Him for all the things

* Redeem the time at hand
* Start every day with worship
* To "thank" is a command
* Until we see Him coming

* Yet, this doesn't end the story cause
* Zion waits in glory ...

 

The shortest distance between

a problem and a solution

is the distance between

The one who kneels to the Lord can

stand up to anything! 

The Lord be with you forever, Amen .

DRY BONES HAVE EARS

I hope you will be blessed as it has blessed me......Dry Bones have Ears  

"...O ye bones,hear the Word of the Lord"(Ezekiel 37:4). 

When it was time to bring the dry bones back to life,God told Prophet
Ezekiel to speak the Word of the Lord to the bones. He asked Ezekiel to
give instructions to the bones. He asked Ezekiel to communicate God's
intentions to the bones. He asked Ezekiel to tell the bones to listen to
the Word of the Lord!

Ordinarily, the only way for someone or something to hear is through the
Use of Ears. So, God seemed to be telling Ezekiel "those bones have
ears, speak to them"!

Friend, there is good news from God today: In the realm of the
Prophetic; Everything has an Ear. Your Financial Problem has an ear. Your
long lasting health problem has an ear. The generational struggles in
your Life or Family have ears. Your dying business has an ear. Your
Career has an ear. The Womb that is yet to yield fruit has an ear! Every
challenge you are facing has an ear!

The Beauty of the ear lies in hearing. The reason why everything has an
ear is so that You can speak the Word of God to them. It doesn't matter
how long a problem has lasted, it certainly responds to the Word of the
Lord if you speak to it. Speak God's word to your Challenge,
Business,Marriage or Career!

God watches over his word to perform it (Jeremiah 1:12). 

The Word of God is Spirit and Life (John 6 63).

It is quick and Powerful (Hebrews 4:12). 

It is like a Hammer (Jeremiah 23:29).

You have cried enough! 

You have complained enough!

    You have been stuck in confusion long enough! 

   You have struggled fruitlessly enough!

Arise Champion!

Just Speak God's Word! 

Open  Your Bible..........

    Confess the Promises, Believe Them!  

     Speaking Them Out! 

    They may not make sense but just keep Speaking!

    Your  Circumstances have to listen! 

    Then, Your Testimonies will break forth.

Trust in the Lord with all your heart
Lean not to your own understanding,
but in all your ways acknowledge Him
And He will direct your path  (Prov.3:5)

BE B.A.D.

While shopping at a local department store, a woman spotted a man with an acronym on his shirt that had B.A.D.
 Being the person that she was (curious), she stopped the man and asked, 'What does B.A.D. stand for?'
And trust me; you'll be amazed at what his response was. He replied B.A.D. stands for:
"Blessed And Delivered "

That thought stuck with her as she finished doing her shopping that day.  So she came up with a little advice for you today.
1. When the enemy tries to attack you, be B.A.D.
2. When things don't seem to be going right on your job, be B.A.D.
3. When things are not looking good in your marriage, be B.A.D.
4. When folks scandalize your name, just be B.A.D.

Get with somebody who you know that you can be B.A.D. with!!!
May God Bless You And Have A B.A.D. Day!

*Any person that can kneel before God can stand before anything! 

EVICTION

The enemies called Skepticism and Unbelief are sent to resist the works of your hands. They have been sent to mock, harass, and interrupt you as you build in the Kingdom. Jesus encountered this too when a girl died and the room filled with spectators, skeptics, and unbelievers. He had a remedy called EVICTION. There are some folk who need Eviction Papers. They only come to serve the purpose of nullifying what God has called you to do. They are there to mock, divide, and pull against the faith needed to manifest certain miracles. Once Jesus put them out the room, He resurrected the dead girl. Don't be startled by the crowds of folk surrounding you, you need to know who to serve Eviction Papers to.
