Speak The Language Heaven Understands

Challenges on every side but God's grace is sufficient. Not knowing what tomorrow will bring, we awake daily and embrace a new day, some times to battle with yesterday's challenges or even face new ones, temptations on every corner of life but in all this like we shared previously God has given us power to decisions and choices. The choices we make is the mirror that shows us who we are paying allegiance to; that is we are either serving God's or serving the devil. Satan is no respecter of persons but he respects the decisions and choice that we make. If we say no there is no way he will sneak into our lives. He only gets access into our lives or your life only when you sign up with him, then you will own a secret password into his world and fantasies but it is never too late when you still have breath. Our God is a God of a second chance, He says; turn to me and do good and see if I will not open the flood gates of heaven for you and make you my pride in the earth. At that point every step you take and move you make will all be in Him and through you He's Kingdom shall be established wherever and whenever you go. A friend of mine posted something which I thought would be helpful to you as well. He said this; find the things that stir your affections for Christ and saturate your life in them. Find the the things that robe you of that affection and walk away from them. That is the Christian Worship Life.
Speak the language Heaven Understands
Col 3:17  And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.  Wives, submit to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord.  Husbands, love your wives, and do not be harsh with them.  Children, obey your parents in everything, for this pleases the Lord.  Fathers, do not provoke your children, lest they become discouraged.   Slaves, obey in everything those who are your earthly masters, not by way of eye-service, as people-pleasers, but with sincerity of heart, fearing the Lord.   Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men,   knowing that from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as your reward. You are serving the Lord Christ.
Have you ever asked yourself why you do what you do. Some times you find yourself doing stuff and you are really not sure how it came about. Why do you do what you do? The Bible is clear about this; In word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ not as a people pleaser but one who pleases God. As long as what you are doing is pleasing unto God, He says I will even make your enemies live at peace with you. Simply this is what happens; when we exalt the Risen Lord in our midst, then darkness is exposed by the light. Satan can't stand it when God gets all the glory. When we are yielded to God in worship, then God is able to show Himself strong on our behalf. Once you learn this and the language of heaven and walk in the Word, you will know what to say for heaven to respond. And this is the victory that overcomes even our Faith.

Choices

For Life He had to die....
The Lord is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and rich in love, He's mercies are new every morning and His love goes to all generations. These past days I have been pondering about this new year and and what the Lord has in store for all who trust in Him. Beloved I am moved to encourage you to be armed and ready in season and out of season, build with one hand and fight with the other. Let there be no room to sin in your life and whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, giving thanks to God. Do not allow your past to determine your present. The time is Now, this is the day that the Lord has made for you and I; to stand in our positions of authority, resist the devil from all corner, watch and pray and to proclaim about our soon coming King. Therefore whosoever has been sinning should sin no more, say no to the lies of the devil that you are good for nothing. He was forsaken so you can be accepted. Be reminded always, all that the Lord has made is good and you are His original piece. You are not an accident nor are you a mistake. Before you were conceived in your Mother's womb God knew you, He knew and decided where you would be born and where you will die . He has given you seasons, time and choices. That is you either choose Life which is in accepting Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour or choose Death which is through satisfying your evil heart's desires and like I said earlier, the time is now for you to set your mind towards God, love Him and walk with Him all the way. Some day when we get to heaven we will be rewarded, crowned with the Crown of Life and live eternally. Let this be known to all you who are reading this blog; every human born in this world will spend eternity some where either heaven or hell. When Christ returns, will He find you Standing? Your either Stand For Him Or Fall For Any Thing... Are you Standing?
Our present choices while in this life will determine where we will spend eternity but however had life my be always remember that your present circumstances can not be compared to your latter glory, the Bible says; what eyes have not seen, what ears have not heard is what the Lord has in store for those who love Him and it shall surely happen if you believe. Choose life and Live, Jesus Christ is Life Now and Forever....Amen
