Chapter One
The happy state of the Godly rest in the promises of God
I shell not be afraid of the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flies by day; nor for the
Pestilence that stalks in darkness; nor for the destruction that destroys at noonday.
A thousand shell fall at my side and, ten thousand at my right hand; but it shell not come near me. Only with my eyes shell I behold and see the reward of the wicked
Because thou has made the Lord, which is my refuge, even the most High, my habitation; there shell no evil befall me, neither shell any plague come near my house. Psalms 91:5-10
I am at peace with God; He is my peace, and soon the Lord Himself will descend from heaven. With a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God; and the dead in Christ shell rise first; then we which are alive and remain shell be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet The Lord in the air; and so shell we ever be with The Lord. Wherefore comfort one another with these words.
1 Thessalonians 4:1b5- 5:1
Chapter Two
God's promises and conditions
"The Lord is my shepherd; i shell not want, He maketh me to lie down in green pastures; He leadeth me
Beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul; He leadeth me in the path of righteousness for His name's sake. yea though i walk through the valley of the shadow of death, i will fear no evil. For Thou art with me; Thy rod and Thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies; Thou anointed my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Psalms 23:1-5 Shepherds lead, they do not drive. i shell not want; for restoration or guidance, because sheep only lie down when they are satisfied and secure, i shell not want for leadership; because sheep drank only when the waters are still, let Jesus lead He knows the way John 4:6 it is vital that we use discernment, in these dark day's, and they will get darker; we must be of a sober mind, and alert, there are many false prophets false doctrines; and leadership that practices ungodly methods John 3:8 ungodly teachings will spread like gangrene and lead you away from the truth; we must stay in touch with God's word; in all thy getting get understanding 2 Timothy 2:15-18
Chapter Three
This we know:
We know that the life of man is in his blood a sustaining vital fluid given by our; Creator it circulates through the body (24) hours a day bringing oxygenated blood to the brain heart arteries lungs, and vital organs
When it is obstructed from its normal flow the body is in trouble for there is no life in the flesh with out the blood; this blood has sealed us together by our maker; God Almighty Who is The beginning, and the end; He who was He who is, and He who is yet to come; The Alpha and The Omega Leviticus 17:11 Genesis 9: 6 Psalms 72:14
Chapter Four
The sight of blood
as a child I had my first experience with blood while playing with my brother Steven; and a friend the game was called mum lie peg a home made dart game played in the dirt, the dirt being the dart board, my mothers ice pick was the dart "how ever she did not administer the blood but probably could demonstrate her disc satisfaction with the whole matter I tried my hand at throwing the pick, and finely it landed not in the bulls eye but in my hand and the blood gushed like a faucet, and they tell me that I fainted, our mother (belted) with us later; I began to understand more about the importance of blood, and that we all share a connection through this blood. as a child I was in wonderment as to how God did this miraculous transfusion, but the answer is in "God" it takes more than the mind of genius, to address this question we are learning more about God's magnificent power day, by day
This is just one illustration of the power of the blood as mention earlier; it carries oxygen to and, carbon dioxide form the tissues of the body through the circulatory system it is indispensable, and it can be a spiritual lubricant when it is applied through the word of God, and used to prevent the adversary from smiting you, as it represents the life force of the living "God" Geneses 4:10 Leviticus 17:11
* * *
When Christ came as our High Priest of the good things that are already here He went through a more perfect and greater tabernacle that was not part of His creation He entered not by the blood of bulls, and goat's, but it was His own precious blood what gave entrance to the Holy of Holies, and completely obtained once, and for all eternal redemption; God presented Him Jesus Christ as a sacrifice for atonement through faith in His blood Romans 3:25
"God was pleased to have all the fullness of The God-Head dwells in Him mightily
Colossians 1: 19-20 Ephesians 1:17 Ephesians 2:13 Hebrews 9:11-13
when we were enemies in our mind by wicked works, Jesus Christ reconciled us through His blood on the Cross at Calvary He brought His peace in to the world; He is Jehovah Shalom our peace Isaiah 26:3 Judges 6:24
God had no desire that man should perish, but that all shell come to repentance 2 Peter 3:9 Isaiah 12:2
we often times read travel advertisements of travel packages known as the all-inclusive package known by the industry as well as travelers they include food, transportation, housing accommodations, and many special amenities, comprising of all normal services this word is embodying, embracing all-in-one across the board this word is full of possibility all-inclusive
consider my point; that is when you accept Jesus Christ the Salvation package is all-inclusive including The, Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, and all you will need for the journey of life through your faith in Jesus Christ, and His powerful blood ; but at some juncture in life man separates himself from the mind set of faith in Jesus, and the weak fleshy mind takes over, and helps the enemy to retard their faith, and development as well as spiritual growth; faith works through love they go hand, and hand exercise them, and grow closer to the Lord Psalms 101:6 1 Corinthians 4:1-5
Some years ago my relative his wife, and two beautiful children were deceived by satan through jim jones a satanic mad man, and cult leader in the jungles of Guiana; but we know that God has a place for false prophets Revelations 20:10
These things were written that we might have hope, when we lean to our selves for guidance we separate our thoughts from the quickening of our spiritual comforter the Holy Spirit Psalms 119:50
To reach our divine destination we follow Jesus Christ He knows the way John 14:15 and, we wait on the Holy Spirit for inspiration Romans 5:5 continuing to read God's word meditating on it day, and night Ephesians 14:17-18 Joshua 3:3-4 Galatians 6:7
* * *
Jesus said to His disciples at His last supper with them; this is My Blood speaking of the cup of wine. That Symbolizing His blood of the new covenant, which is poured out for many for the remission of sin; the blood Jesus shed on the cross speaks of forgiveness, and reconciliation
Hebrews 12:24
The cup represents the Blood of Jesus; and represents His poured out life, death and incredible sacrifice He made for you, and me
What is this thing called life? 1Corenthians 11:24-27
It's a precious gift from our Father Almighty God; we see life being taken all around us in the news across the nation around the world by the hands of the enemy, be it spiritual war or war for control, and gain the deed is a evil perpetrated on the children of God Almighty; the world whose reward is in this life here on earth, that will end Psalms 17:14 but our Lord gives eternal life that will never end Matthew 19:28-29
This is a all out assault on the image of God the Father, and the Moral principles given in the Holy word of God thou shell not kill Exodus 20:13
Human value is of great importance to God it's sacred to Him He breathed His breath of life in man, and He will never leave you are, forsake you this is God's promise ; The Lord remembers forever the covenant He ordained Psalms 72:14 He provides food for the daily needs of His people Psalms 111:5 those who are regenerated by the Holy Spirit are the only one's who can confess from the heart that "Jesus is Lord 1 Corinthians 12:3 Hallelujah!
* * *
Christ finished His assignment by establishing the new covenant through His own precious Blood, it is the avenue that brought deliverance for individual's nations, and families we are God's Precious, and highly valued workmanship the apple of His eye, and His treasure; Jesus "Christ is appointed the treasury administator of salvation, and the "Holy Spirit the comforter treasurer is keeping our spirit for the eternal life to come as He continues to make intercession for us; "God Almighty is the depository the kingdom where He awaits His children Exodus 24:5-8 Psalms 6:39-40
* * *
If we had not read, if we had not heard the truth that sets us free we would be at a spiritual deprived, and ignorant state of mind how than can we give God his rightful place in our heart
The word of God is living and active sharper than a double-edge, sword it penetrates the dividing soul and spirit, it judges the thoughts and attitude of the heart, with out this knowledge you are giving your affections, and desires too a lesser god because of the lack of trust, as the Israelites did while they wondered around
In the wilderness for (40- years) this illustrates mans unwillingness to trust in the God who created our existence, and all that dwells with in the earth.; The Jews demanded miracles, and signs, and Greeks look for wisdom but we preach Christ crucified; foolishness' to some, but to those whom God has called, to both Jews, Greeks; Christ is the Power of God
Let us not grieve the Holy Spirit of God "I sought the Lord and He heard my cry and pitied every groan He forgave every sin in return I gained satisfaction for my soul
Galatians 5: 24- 25 Blessings for your obedience: God requires us to keep His Sabbaths, and to reverence His sanctuary; walk in His word, and to do them: He is the Lord your God Isaiah 56:2 Leviticus 26:2
God gave man the right to become His child when, you received salvation
"The door open wide to His forgiveness, and love there is no other name given under heaven" by which we must be saved Act's 4:12
Chapter Five
A Christian soldiers Pledge
Today the Holy Spirit is with me, and Jesus Christ has set me free; I stand firm therefore, and do not again submit to a yoke of bondage. Galatians 5:1 my faith in God allows me to soar on eagle's wings, today I can do all things through Christ that strengthen me. Philippians 4:13
Today, and every day I put on the whole armor of God one piece at a time for the weapons of my warfare are not carnal but mighty through God to the Pulling down of strongholds. I will continue to walk in my Christian faith because I am who God says that I am. He will deliver me from every evil work, and preserve me. 2 Timothy 4:18
But as it is written, eye have not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God have prepared for them that love Him. 1 Corinthian 2:9-12
In Spiritual warfare we plead the blood for we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against unseen powers in high places, and our weapon in spiritual warfare is the word of God. The blood is our life's fountain, and because of the blood God does not see our sin; Exodus 12:22 the word washes and cleanses us continually. Revelations 5:1 1 John 1:7 the word without the blood is non effect
We read in the Old Testament on the Day of Atonement the blood was sprinkled on the book why? Because it was said to be a lifeless book; with out the blood Colossians 1:20 "and for the readers unless the blood was applied; and it was sprinkled on the people for a sin offering Hebrews 7:27 Leviticus 16:14
The power in the word is because of the blood; when we pray and ask God to reveal His word to us, and as we read the words literally jump off the pages, and ministers to our spirit because of the anointing on the word of God gives a umption to the spirit that reveals the word in ways no moral mind can comprehend or explain "The Spirit of God"
We must seek God consistently mediating contemplating anticipating, and nurturing our relationship a eternal courtship of communication with God: "He has enabled us through the blood of Jesus Christ, and the marvelous gift of prayer a spiritual exercise that when used it can in a moment dispel the darkness, and despair let go and follow The Holy Spirit. He is your guide Psalms 146:1-6 1 Peter 2:9-10
Chapter Six
A Christian Soldiers Armor Of Protection
Today: I
1. Gird up my waist with the belt of truth and I choose the way of truth John 14:6 Psalms 119:30
2. Put on the breastplate of righteousness because the eyes of The Lord are on the righteous. Psalms 34:15-16
3. Shod my feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace. In the midst of persecution I have God's assurance of His peace. I have used my feet to search for the lost and to share the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ.
4. I take up the shield of faith that I am fit for the battle. The Lord will fight for me 2 Timothy 2:4 Exodus 14:14
5. I put on the helmet of salvation to protect my mind because the salvation of the righteous is of the Lord. Psalms 37:39, 27:1
6. I take the sword of the spirit which is the word of God my weapon of warfare, praying always in the spirit, and speaking boldly that the ministry of the gospel may be advanced. Romans 8:26-27
Thank you "Lord for your provision and protection that will enable me to walk worthy of the vocation in which I have been called. While the spiritual battle is raging, I can put on the whole armor that you gave me. I am able to use my weapons against all the powers of the enemy.
God has highly exalted Jesus Christ, and gave Him the name which is above every name. That at the name of Jesus Christ every knee should bow of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth. and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord to the Glory of God the Father Almighty Philippians 2:9-11
When we call on the name of Jesus, you are calling on all that God is. God says His name is "I AM THAT I AM" by this, He is everything we need Him to be speak the names of God to His glory to edify, and bless He honors His name
1. Jehovah Tsidkenu The Lord our Jeremiah, 23:6 righteousness
2. Jehovah M'kaddesh The Lord our sanctifier Leviticus, 20:8
3. Jehovah Shalom The Lord our peace Judges 6:24
4. Jehovah The Lord is there Ezekiel, 48:35 Shammah
5. Jehovah Rap ha The Lord our healer Exodus, 15:26
6. Jehovah Jireh The Lord will Genesis, 22:14 provider
7. Jehovah Nissi The Lord our victory Exodus, 17:15
8. Jehovah Rohi The Lord our Psalms, 23:3 shepherd
The names 1 through 7 are the redemptive names of God. These things that man lost in the garden have been given back to us by the blood, and finished work of Jesus Christ, Jesus has redeemed us back to The Father, and He is now therefore our shepherd
CH7[ Receivers and Transmitters
We are living in a time when everything is moving fast, and the world wants more undoubtedly there are some Christians with the same mind set, and are distracted by the worlds mind set because they have stretch their selves too thin, and are walking into the ways of the world, that lead to a worldly behavior, and ultimately a stress field life, failing to yield to the will of God not reading the word, or taking time to pray; this distraction opens to the deception of the enemy and, a falling away which scripture tells us these things would happen in the last days; we must keep our focus on God, and God's word; don't give temptation a opportunity; the day of The Lord is coming soon watch, and pray. Luke 12:40
keep your vesicles full of oil; don't be as the foolish virgins who took their lamp went out to meet the bridegroom, and had no oil, in their lamps, and the door was shut; the "key is to be dressed, and ready for service: Matthew 25:1-13 God is watching His church 2 Timothy 3:1-5
this attitude that turns away from God, is hurting the body of Christ; with a critical self centered Spirit" it is not the Spirit of God; God wants a heart that wants change to be receivers of His grace, and to be transmitters of His Love to others Psalms 1: 1 2 Timothy 3:1
Recalling the Laodicen church; with the plastic expression; the lukewarm church, those who do not realize that they are wretched." I thank "God that we are living in the days of His mercy, and grace, don't thank of your self more highly then you are but rather thank of your self as a sober judgment in accordance to the measure of faith God has given you Romans 12:2-8 Act's 1:8
