50But when Jesus heard it, he answered him, saying, Fear not: believe only, and she shall be made whole.

Do Not Fear....ONLY BELIEVE
Do you really trust in God?
What makes you doubt sometimes?
Is it the uncertainty of the battle at hand?
Is it that you just might not trust God to come through for you?
So then are you saying He isn't faithful?
But wait the bible speaks of His faithfulness and Love!
IT ALL OVER THE WORD OF GOD!
Jesus came proving God's love and faithfulness so why do you act in
FEAR
What ARE you afraid of? I think you are more afraid that He might not come to deliver your circumstance, then your are sure He will.
So why are many Christians afraid of the "worst case scenrios" in their battles?
Be it losing a home
or
even
losing their lives.
I truly think that fears hold people back from truly trusting and receiving the Lord's best and His
MIRACLES
Some Christians may shrink back and because of fears, are blinded by the reality of their situation and then are not truly
TRUSTING THE LORD
FEARS
make
BLIND
People can become so paralyzed by their fear that they believe the worst case will happen.
POSSIBLY LOSING EVERYTHING!!!
So then what is the fruit of their lives then......
They do LOSE
then what do they say.....?
"God's in control.....It was His plan for such and such thing to happen"
But then was it really His plan for this destruction or loss to happen in their life?
Of course it is easier to say that God is in Control....so we won't take any responsibility for our actions or lack of. I wouldn't want my child to say "My parent is in control" when they failed the test after not studying. Isn't God our Father? Why would we see God as different.
So then are you saying .....He wasn't faithful? He never told us to trust Him and study for the test?
I thought the word says
HE IS FAITHFUL?
so can you please help me see what it is then....
You see how the enemy can bring so much doubt in Christians lives through fear
and when there is fear..... there is no faith.
Which leads me to say that in many occasions in the bible
when people approached Jesus with fear or He sensed fear in their hearts he said
DO NOT FEAR!!!!
Luke 8:49-50
49While he yet spake, there cometh one from the ruler of the synagogue's house, saying to him, Thy daughter is dead; trouble not the Master.
In this case Jairus's daughter had just died and I'm sure fear now came upon his heart that he wasn't quick enough to get Jesus to her. Before Jairus could even speak a word of fear Jesus stopped him with
"FEAR NOT".
Why would Jesus speak these words first?
Fear must do something to our faith, trust, and seeing the works of God manifested.
I believe that when we fear, we are then in doubt of God's faithfulness and Love.
Even good Christians pray AFRAID. Why?
Maybe because they really don't trust and know who they serve. They might know about Him, but not KNOW HIM.
SO
Don't fear....ONLY BELIEVE....and KNOW who you LOVE and SERVE!

Do Not Be Deceived
Deception in the Church
Is making the body of Christ
weak!
What is this deception that has become as a cancer in the body of Christ?
The Blame Game!
But who are the Christians blaming.....I find more and more it isn't the devil anymore.....it is the Lord himself.
What?
How could this be?
How could we even possibly blame God for what is going on in our lives?
Yeah, many are!
Saying:
God is in Control of everything!
It was God's will to afflict a baby with a horrible disease and die at an early age.
It was God's will for a spouse to die of cancer.
It was God's will for a teenager to be murdered, raped, or killed in a tragic car accident.
It was God's will for some to lose everything in the earthquake in Haiti.
Oh no, but that was God's judgement!
Let me inform all my faithful readers.......God's judgement is coming but understand we are in a period of peace.
Remember what the Angels declared in Luke 2:14
Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.
Judgement is coming on THE DAY of judgment.
The Lord is so merciful and long suffering....He is waiting for all men to come to know Him. He desires that none should perish.
2 Peter 3:9
The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.
Some underestimate the Love of God!
I often wonder why so many struggle with their walk with the Lord.
I believe it is because
they don't know Him or trust Him.
Why is this so?
The deception!
The deception that we can never know Him completely.
People saying:
"God works in mysterious ways."
or
"Our ways are not His."
Yeah, it was said in the Old testament....
But remember we are Holy Spirit filled believers that know all things because Jesus said in
John 14:26
But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.
Many Christians are not willing to devote their whole lives to finding the truths that Jesus gave us 2000 years ago.
For example:
Why don't we receive our healing?
Because we don't receive it like we did our salvation.
We think that healing is something He wills to give if it be His will. But who's to know what His will is right?
We have the Holy Spirit!
And if we understand redemption, we can understand what belongs to us as believers of Christ and citizens of Heaven. Once we are born again here on earth we are then no longer citizens of this world but heaven.
So everything that is in heaven is ours.
Remember the Lord's prayer?
His Kingdom come, His will be done
On EARTH as it is in HEAVEN!
Jesus has said in
Matthew 4:17
From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
This means it is at hand.....IT IS HERE!
Today and forevermore!
Deception has leaked in to so many houses of worship that it is truly upsetting.
Christians don't even realize what belongs to them anymore
They are begging God to heal
to redeem their situation
to give them peace,
When Jesus already gave it to them!
This has become my foundation to my life and I have seen many lives transformed by understanding the
POWER OF HIS BLOOD
Religion has been taken over by Satan himself and He is laughing as many Christians
are being destroyed in this life, not ever experiencing the purpose God had in store for them. Yes they go to be with the Lord....but their lives cut short.
He is isn't just killing babies by abortion
He is killing the youth of america with lies that God is a God of Judgement and who knows He just might kill someone with
cancer
car accident
murder
HOW CAN WE BELIEVE THESE LIES!!
OH, MY HEART GRIEVES
The enemy is DEFEATED!
The truth needs to be preached
we need to understand
REDEMPTION
yet again!
Remember God's Heart of the matter is this. His promise to those who love and believe Him is this:
Deuteronomy 11:21
That your days may be multiplied, and the days of your children, in the land which the LORD sware unto your fathers to give them, as the days of heaven upon the earth.
FREE IN CHRIST

Christian Cliches
God is Good!
It is such a cliche!
Yeah, it really is!!
Do people really believe this or do they just say it?
To me it seems like people say it, but they don't truly understand
HIS GOODNESS!
I'll be praying for you!
Yep....another cliche!
Do you actually think people will truly take the time and pray for you?
Some might....
So why don't they do it when we are standing there....
or on the phone?
Why do we pray and then doubt he'll answer?
People will pray for healing and then they doubt it.
Do they truly TRUST in His
FAITHFULNESS??
Love you?
Yeah, another cliche not to be taken lightly
Do they truly love me?
Or are they just saying it
God's in Control
Finding this is another one of those cliches
Is He really in control?
If He is then.........
why is there still
murder
rapes
starvation in other countries
children beat to death
child and adult prostitution
suicides
you name it?
Is He truly in "control".....?
I don't believe it.
WE are the ones responsible for the mess the world is in
NOT GOD!
God is Good!!!
and this
I know
all so well!
Yeah, maybe it has been one of those weeks over here and I am really trying hard to find and hear of those who truly
KNOW HIM!
I bet the Lord is so grieved by the unbelief and doubt which clouds so many Christians minds
Yeah, they say "God CAN do it.....but not for ME."
WHAT?!!
Do you NOT believe?
Why don't you believe His Word?
What is wrong with the Christians of today?
Honestly.....I am grieved.
We toss words around
or
Scriptures
but do we truly take them to heart.
It hurts me
so how much more does it hurt
HIM
FREE IN CHRIST
