Repeat the sounding Joy!!!! Joy to the World

Expect His goodness In the land of the living!

Psalm 27

Amplified Bible (AMP)

Psalm 27

[A Psalm] of David.

 ¹THE LORD is my Light and my Salvation--whom shall I fear or dread? The Lord is the Refuge and Stronghold of my life--of whom shall I be afraid?

    ²When the wicked, even my enemies and my foes, came upon me to eat up my flesh, they stumbled and fell.

    ³Though a host encamp against me, my heart shall not fear; though war arise against me, [even then] in this will I be confident.

    ⁴One thing have I asked of the Lord, that will I seek, inquire for, and [insistently] require: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord [in His presence] all the days of my life, to behold and gaze upon the beauty [the sweet attractiveness and the delightful loveliness] of the Lord and to meditate, consider, and inquire in His temple.^(A)

    ⁵For in the day of trouble He will hide me in His shelter; in the secret place of His tent will He hide me; He will set me high upon a rock.

    ⁶And now shall my head be lifted up above my enemies round about me; in His tent I will offer sacrifices and shouting of joy; I will sing, yes, I will sing praises to the Lord.

    ⁷Hear, O Lord, when I cry aloud; have mercy and be gracious to me and answer me!

    ⁸You have said, Seek My face [inquire for and require My presence as your vital need]. My heart says to You, Your face (Your presence), Lord, will I seek, inquire for, and require [of necessity and on the authority of Your Word].

    ⁹Hide not Your face from me; turn not Your servant away in anger, You Who have been my help! Cast me not off, neither forsake me, O God of my salvation!

    ¹⁰Although my father and my mother have forsaken me, yet the Lord will take me up [adopt me as His child].^(B)

    ¹¹Teach me Your way, O Lord, and lead me in a plain and even path because of my enemies [those who lie in wait for me].

    ¹²Give me not up to the will of my adversaries, for false witnesses have risen up against me; they breathe out cruelty and violence.

    ¹³[What, what would have become of me] had I not believed that I would see the Lord's goodness in the land of the living!

    ¹⁴Wait and hope for and expect the Lord; be brave and of good courage and let your heart be stout and enduring. Yes, wait for and hope for and expect the Lord

Have a taste!

If someone told you of a really good resteraunt, you would go there and find out for yourself.  You would order food from the menu and form your own opinion. .  Many today who do not believe in or mock the Name of Jesus have never even called on His Name for themselves. How can you say whether or not you like the food in the resteraunt unless you  go there and taste it.  I invite every Atheist, Agnostic and even those of world religions today to call on the Name of Jesus.  Ask Him to make Himself known to you.  Find out for yourself why so may millions have have chosen Him over the last 2,000 years.  Instead of bashing believers and making juvinile comments, why don't you call on His Name and find out that He is real, the same way you would order a meal in that resteraunt. Psalms 34:8 says: Oh taste and see that the Lord is good!  Why don't you have a taste today? How can you deny Him if you never tried Him?

As you read pray the Holy Spirit will give you all the revelation you are to reeive from these scriptures.

And as always if you do not know Jesus Christ as a living Savior and soon coming King I ask you to invite  Him into your heart today. Ask him to make Himself known to you and He will.  Be blessed.

All hands on deck! All eyes on Jesus!

Yet again another entry into the fraudulent world of the prosperity lie.  This false minister had the nerve to make a video saying:  "Watch me watch me watch me", but the devil is the fagther of lies.  In this season God is saying;  "All hands on deck, All eyes on Jesus.!"  Every available  believer in Christ is needed to stand up in one accord and make it plain that we do not follow men,(or women). We heed the voice of God through them but we do not look to another human being as the answer.  We take the medication that a doctor prescribes, we practice the principles that a school teacher gives us but we do not consider these individuals as our all in all.  Yet in the church world people feel the pastor is their key to God. Read your bibles, God gives Apostles, Prophets, Evangelists, Teachers, Elders and Deacons as well as Pastors.  come on folks, no one individual has all your answers.  Stop starting you sentances with: My pastor said, my Bishop said.  How about THE BIBLE SAYS! Do not make an idol of another flesh and blood person because idols fall. A statue was erected in my city of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. And a Christian man bowed down and kissed the ground in front of it.   No disrespect to the King family but Martin King is still dead.  He did not get up on the third day with ALL Power in heaven and earth in his hands.  He was but an instrument used by God in his seaon  which was over 40 years ago.  Jesus is the bread of heaven, the living water, a very present help in trouble and a soon coming King.  How dare we raise mere mortals to status that equals His. God is calling, can you hear His voice.  All hands,  every available man woman boy and girl, come up on the deck.  Get on God;s page.  Learn His agenda.  It is ALL about His Son. All hands on deck, all aboard, clear your vision.  Stop mising the forrest because of the trees.  All eyes on Jesus Christ. Develop your personal relationship with Him.  If you don't and you keep elevating men, they will continue to fall and disappoint you. Even as you read this, please hear the Holy Spirit and do not even consider me I am just the Prophetic Scribe(writer) doing my assignment. I say again:  It is not about the car you drive or the house you live in. It is about a personal relationship with The living Savior.  Use this season to get to know Him for yourself, so you may tell someone else of His wonderful love. Black folk,  slavery has been ended for many years yet many of us still have a mentality of needing the massa, well it is not your pastor  it is THE Master of heaven and earth and skies, the One whom the elements obey.  Jesus Christ, the Messiah.

deception

No one likes to be deceived, but it happens.  Often it is so subtle that you are way in over your head before you realize what has taken place. And you wonder how you got there. Deception is slick and crafty.  Often there is enough truth mixed in with the falicies so that only the very astute figure out early on that they are lambs being led to the slaughter. Consider if you will on this day mega ministries and their mega ministers. I will not name names but you know who I am reffering to.  They have  large churches with several services each Sunday.  They have television broadcasts and books galore at your local book stores.  They razzle and dazzlre and seem larger than life.  And operate like Hollywood celebreties with their enterage of assistants and body guards. They appear on talk shows and while they claim to be promoting the Gospel of Jesus Christ, they actually are giving a plug for themselves.   A common thread is that they tell you that if you read their books, buy their video and audio tapes, give money to their minitry then you will be guaranteed the same financial success that they have. How many men and women have purchased the books and tapes, followed these people weekly on television traveled all over the country to attend their seminars, conferences, convocations and conventions yet have not experienced the promised change in life circumstances?  Consider this if you will. When Satan tempted Christ in the wilderness, he offered Him the entire world if Jesus would just bow down to him. If  an individual is purporting to be a minister of the gospel of Jesus Christ yet suggests you follow them, contribute to their particular ministry, emulate their actions do their 10 step plan, purchase their book ot tape and imply or even guarantee your success, they are the spawn of Satan. A true believer/minister will always point you to God's word and to a personal relationship with the Savior.  Do not be deceived by the wolves in sheeps clothing. There is not a human being on earth who can guarantee you anything, unless they have been given a specific prophetic word from Almighty God for you. No one can promise your best life now or that your later days will be better than your former days because they do not even know if they will take their next breath in the land of the living. Be careful, because all that glitters is not gold. Pray for the spirit of discernment. Pay close attention as to whether Jesus is being lifted up or thrown in at the end like a consolation prize. If a preacher tells jokes and tickle people's fancy for an hour, what has he or she done that anyone would want to come to salvation at the end of their message?  If you are listeing to someone tell their life story or brag on personal posessions this is not the gospel. Please my brothers and sisters learn the difference between a feel good pep talk, philosophy, psychology and sociology and the true pure unadulterated gospel of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior. Colosians 1:9 amplified bible: For this reason we also from the day we heard of it, have not ceased to pray and make special request for you asking that you may be filled with the full deep and clear knowledge of His will in all spiritual wisdom, in comprehensive insight into the ways and purposes of God and in understanding and discernment of spiritual things. Please pray this scripture for yourself your loved ones and spiritual leaders. Desire to be on God's page and know His will. He will give you revelation knowledge and strength to walk away from false ministers and ministries.  Don't be taken in by razzle and dazzle, glitter and glamour. Learn the difference between entertainment and the true presence of God. Do not be deceived. Be ye separate and come from among them.  Thanks for your time and knowI love you with the love of Christ.

What If

If you were blog surfing today it is no accident that you came upon this message. perhaps today you are conflicted regarding religion and spirituality.  You may be an Atheist or Agnostic, wondering why so many people believe in this man named Jesus.  Before you dismiss Christianity as a fable or myth, I ask you to do one thing. Find out for yourselfe while you are in the land of the living because;  What if it is all true. what if you die and because you rejected Jesus Christ you find yourself in eternal torment with no chance of escape?  There are those and i used to be one of them who said , "Die and find out", but once this life is over there is no cominbg back, no second chance.  Therefore if Christianity is indeed a fingment of the imagination, and when we die it is all over, and there is no after life, then belief in Jesus does not matter.  If everyone "good" goes to heaven anyway, then accepting Jesus as Lord and Savior will not make a difference. If all religions are the same and all paths lead to God then there is no point in choosing to follow Christ, but; What if, it is true that Jesus was crucified and rose again in 3 days.  What if He indeed is the only path to God and eternal life?  Do you really want to take that chance? So today I ask you, if you are so certain Christianity is  foolishness, then prove it, right now while you are in the land of the living.  I dare you to call of Jesus, ask Him to reveal Himself to you, and see what happens. If you humbly ask Him to show you that He is real, I believe He will.  Ask Him into your heart, what have you got to lose?  How many times in this life have you been told to follow certain steps and they guaranteed a great weight loss, or that you would be wealthy and you only found disapointement? I cannot promise ypu anything except that God Almighty through faith in Jesus Christ His Son and the power of His Holy Spirit will reveal Himself to you if you ask in faith.  After that it is a personal walk. Will you take the chance today?  Just say this:  God if You are real and where I spend eternity is determined by faith in Your Son Jesus Christ, I ask You to make Yourself known  to me today.  Show me that You are real.  Jesus I want to know the truth.  Come into y heart and let me know You for myself. What have you got to lose by trying.  And please email me at Householdoffaith3@gmail.com  and let me know the outcome.
