DEVOTIONAL CHOSEN “7”

1 Corinthians 2:3-5 (KJV)And I was with you in weakness, and in fear and in much trembling. And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man’s wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power.  That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God. 

God created human beings just because he wanted to.  Since His character is just, we can only conclude that He had good thoughts in mind when He created us.  So why would we ever question His motives?  Why don’t we inventory our own motives and then measure them against God’s word?

God is God alone.  He does not share His glory with man, He takes all the glory, and we willingly give it to him by yielding to His word.  But how do we yield continually?  We do it by recognizing that the power of God is ultimate in everything.  The Lord resist the proud, but He opens up more favor and opportunities to the humble.  Resist the urge to reason as an ordinary man/woman, and choose to listen to the counsel of the Holy Spirit.

Paul wanted the Corinthian church to recognize his personal weaknesses and fears, so that they could adjust their lens to see the power of God at work in him in spite of his challenges. It’s easy to contact an attorney to begin divorce precedings.  It’s easy to quit your job on the spot because your supervisor has disrespected you and does not recognize your value.  It’s easy to blow up on your spouse, sibling, collegue, or the stranger at the grocery store who grabbed the last item you were just about to grab.  It’s easy to blow off steam and say derogatory things. But each of these actions have negative consequences.  They give room to the enemy. 

However, when you wait, patiently, upon the Lord because you choose to trust Him; He releases His supernatural wisdom and His power packed anointing that charges you up and gives you a confidence that cannot be explained.  The Lord will begin to download heavenly channels of communication that translates you to higher levels.  The issues that initially dominated your thoughts, will become meaningless.  The Lord will reveal intricate details.  That is the power of God at work in a human being.

So, take charge by allowing the Maker to be in charge.  Refuse to look at man’s ability and give God the glory by being a yielded vessel. Allow Him to do what only He can. Be conscious of everything that our Lord Jesus has paid for.

God bless you. 

You are Chosen

DEVOTIONAL “CHOSEN” 8

6 Howbeit we speak wisdom among them that are perfect: yet not the wisdom of this world, nor of the princes of this world, that come to nought:7 But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory:8 Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. (1 Corinthians 2:6-8)

Mary, the mother of Jesus, wailed at the cross in gross pain of grief as she witnessed the unfolding events she could not have imagined would happen. She had been chosen by Jehovah God as the maid servant who would carry the Son of God in her belly until the appointed season of His birth. However, she was incapable of having the revelation that Jesus Christ did not belong to her. He was authentically the Creator who manifested Himself on this earth in human form. His ministry was to fulfill the prophecy as the Messiah who would willingly sacrifice Himself and save the sins of this world.

30 And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with God.31 And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name Jesus.32 He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David:33 And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end.34 Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man?35 And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God.

Jesus’ ministry on earth, as the Son of man, also referred to as the second Adam, was completed at the cross when He declared it. Imagine the weak, broken, confused mother who knew she could only hold on to the words spoken by the angel,”…He shall be great, and be called the Son of the Highest:” The Son of God was departing as He had proclaimed. Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.2 In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also. (John 14:1-3)

There are assignments that the Lord places in our hearts for His overall purpose. Our position in the matter is obedience in trusting that He knows the end from the beginning. His wisdom is infinite. He created us to depend on His supremacy. The access that He gives or doesn’t give will always be for our good. The obedient maidservant, (Mary), did not ask the Lord God why did He subject her to such agony. Instead, she understood that it was better to trust Him while not being fully aware of the structure of God’s plans, as opposed to allowing her emotional state to present arguments before the Omniscience Jehovah Elohim. Mary’s ministry as the mother of Jesus ended at the cross.

25 Now there stood by the cross of Jesus his mother, and his mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Cleophas, and Mary Magdalene.26 When Jesus therefore saw his mother, and the disciple standing by, whom he loved, he saith unto his mother, Woman, behold thy son!27 Then saith he to the disciple, Behold thy mother! And from that hour that disciple took her unto his own home.28 After this, Jesus knowing that all things were now accomplished, that the scripture might be fulfilled, saith, I thirst.

What is the ministry that the Lord has committed into your hands for this season? You have the advantage of the Holy Spirit living inside of you that allows you to go boldly before the throne of grace and receive instructions. Do not despise small beginnings. Jesus entered the world as a seed, planted by the Spirit of God inside of a yielded vessel. Are you yielded? Are you standing in the armor of God in obedience no matter what? The prince of this world, (satan), wants to lure you into trusting in self; choose to trust in God.

DEVOTIONAL CHOSEN 4

AVAILABLE NOW WHERE BOOKS ARE SOLD

WITNESS HIS POWER!

HOLY SPIRIT-FILLED

Jesus Christ said that signs and wonders follow those who believe. He said that In His name they shall cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick and they shall recover. (Mark 16:17-18}

The Holy Spirit takes up residency in the spirit of a believer once the born-again believer confesses Jesus Christ as Lord over his/her life (Romans 10:9). He is now considered a child of God and a member of the household of faith.

https://www.slideshare.net/ShanaFloyd/7-vital-steps-to-receiving-the-holy-spirit-by-kenneth-hagin

The next stage is the infilling of the Holy Spirit with the evidence of speaking in tongues.I want to stress that speaking in tongues is not a prerequisite to being born again. However, being born again is a prerequisite to being able to speak in tongues. The scripture above says that it is the believer that will speak with new tongues (languages). In the book of John, chapter fourteen, Jesus tells the disciples that He will be leaving them shortly and that they will be grieved about it. But He encourages them by saying that the Holy Spirit will take upon His ministry and that He will comfort them.

John 14:16,17 – And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you forever; Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you and shall be in you.

THE INFILLING OF THE HOLY SPIRIT HAS A PURPOSE

The Lord has told us through the scriptures that this world is in a fallen state. The god of this world (satan) is dominating it with his evil nature. Safety is in Christ Jesus. Although every believer translated into the Kingdom of God, we exist on this physical earth amid spiritual warfare. The forces of darkness have their hierarchy of evil dominance, and their intentions are to will it upon believers and non-believers. Salvation goes beyond escaping the sentence of eternal damnation. It also encompasses living a life on earth in the perfect will of God. Living in the perfect will of God equates to conflict with higher levels of the forces of darkness in opposition to you. Therefore, you need the Highest power working in you, giving you supernatural insight, (God’s wisdom) into the matters that are not obvious to the optical eyes

POWER AT WORK IN YOU

The Holy Spirit is the active third person of the Godhead. He releases the power that results in signs and wonders. I am not implying that you cannot receive a miracle without the infilling; even unbelievers receive miracles. When a child comes into the world, it is a miracle. Or if a person gets supernatural strength to accomplish a task to save a life out of desperation and so forth. It is a miracle each time the cycle continues to pour onto the earth. We have a gracious God that does things out of His nature for His purposes.

However, there are times when we feel weak, drained of strength, and ideas. This is why we need to take advantage of the treasure that the Lord has made available to us through tongues. When a believer prays in tongues, he is enforcing his blood-bought right to act out in faith by yielding his tongue, vocal cords, and mouth to the Holy Spirit. He/she speaks by faith as the Holy Spirit gives the utterance.

In conclusion, Holy Spirit-filled means you have the supernatural power of God working through you manifesting signs and wonders.

God bless you.

Spiritual Realities

I believe, that whether or not we realize it, we are inadvertently aware of things beyond physical explanation. However, we have trained ourselves to be dismissive. It’s puzzling but we are so complacent with the supernatural things that takes place around us everyday. The rain falling from the skies is only one example of such. Sure, we can rationalize the idea of precipitation through scientific knowledge. And please be informed, I have a great level of respect for science. I believe that their knowledge, for the most part, is a blessing from the Lord. However, that knowledge can only discover so far.

Which brings me to the topic at hand, Spiritual awareness. A baby that is conceived through the unification of two beings, whose body parts were created to compliment the other, is quite amazing. The miraculous perfection of effortless implantation in itself is enough to throw up your hands and realize that there has to be a higher power somewhere outside of what the creation can comprehend. Evolution is certainly not sound, because every THING, has a parent. The parent realm of this natural realm is the spirit realm. So who created the parent realm. Who is the author of it all? It has to be God. It is God.

The Holy Bible is what we (Christians) believe gives all the evidence that is needed. So why did God (Jehovah) create a natural realm? Why did He make human beings? Why place them on earth? Narrow that question down to why did He choose to include you In all of it? It’s because there is so much more to you than you know. You are part of a much bigger plan of things. They are hidden within the spiritual realities that God chooses to reveal. The bottom line is that He has chosen to make YOU a part of the big scheme of things.

I’d love to share more of this in detail with you. I have written a book called “Chosen to Witness His Greatness”. I wrote it with the intension of helping others who suffer, being ignorant of God’s Word, and from experiencing things from the spirit realm, but is unaware od spiritual realities (through God’s word). I felt the presence of fear as a child whenever it was time to go to bed. It continued sparingly into my adult life. I concluded that if there is a presence of fear, than there must be a good presence as well. the dark presence was mostly dismissed as though it was the norm that human beings learn to live with, and eventually accept it as some type of sign from God. Unfortunately, the signs seem to make you feel rejected. I explain more in my book.

“Chosen to Witness His Greatness” highlights the love that God has for His creation. It reveals the passion of God’s love for His chosen people and inspires the believer to want to know more by discovering it through the scriptures for him/herself. The reality of the spirit realm is that it exists. It is actively happening right in front of you. It’s beyond what we see in the natural but is very obvious through the lens of God’s word.

We distort it, when we attempt to draw conclusions through man-made assumptions or “facts”. The TRUTH is inclusive of every spec that you haven’t even thought of within “facts”. Gravity did not prohibit Jesus from levitating off the ground; nor Elijah when a chariot of horses came out from the skies and swooped him up. And don’t forget about the dividing of the Red Sea! Discover even more in “Chosen to Witness His Greatness” as it inspires you to want to search the scriptures for spiritual realities!
