"IF GOD SAYS NO, WILL YOUR YES STILL BE YES?"

"IF GOD SAYS NO, WILL YOUR YES STILL BE YES?"

Philippians 1:19

For I am well assured and indeed know that through your prayers and a bountiful supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ (the Messiah) this will turn out for my preservation (for the spiritual health and welfare of my own soul) and avail toward the saving work of the Gospel. (Amplified)

Often times when we have prayed for God to reveal a certain thing to us, and when He comes back with the verdict and it is no, will you still say yes? Will you still have the same praise, will you continue to invite people to church and sing songs of Zion? In fact your praise should be so radical that it sets the whole church on "BLAZE". If the Pastor ask you to invite nine people you should invite twenty. Your songs of Zion should be so sweet that the aroma from your singing should influence your whole block to want to be saved. In the midst of the "No" we should still continue to have "fail proof faith" believing God for just about anything. The Amplified version says "this will turn out for my preservation (for the spiritual health and welfare of my own soul). Push past your pain, take a licking and keep on ticking, and know that it is working out for your good.

I say Yes Lord Yes to Your Will and to ALL Your ways!!!!!

Gideon's lamps were revealed when his soldier's' pitchers were broken. If our pitchers are broken for the Lord and His gospel's sake, lamps will be revealed that otherwise would have stayed hidden and unseen.....Out of affliction's dark comes spiritual light. ---John Bunyan

"BRANCHES OF THE VINE"

"BRANCHES OF THE VINE"

John 15:1-2 & 5

I am the true vine, and my Father is the Husbandman.

2-Every branch in me that beareth not fruit He taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, He purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit.

5-I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing. (NKJ)

As I was taking my morning walk, I saw a branch hanging off a tree getting ready to fall off. This reminded me of the scripture, if the branch is not bearing fruit it is cut off. The scripture goes on to say, and every branch that bears fruit is purged, so that it may bear more fruit. Just as the branch that I witness this morning, if we are not living and breathing God and being productive the branch will be cut off and wither. The Vine is the life-line, we must stay connected to the BLOOD without that we are dead(spiritually). Furthermore every branch that is bearing has to be purified. You see being purified and bearing fruit walk hand and hand. In order to bear more fruit we must endure inward and outward affliction and or difficulties. This my Friends allow us to walk in obedience, honor God, and proceed in excellence; this is bearing fruit. We are nothing without the "TRUE VINE", with Him we will be effective, influential and forceful in the Kingdom of God.

THE BRANCH MUST ABIDE IN THE VINE. WILL YOU ABIDE OR SUBSIDE?

"NOW FAITH"

Matthew 8:26

Jesus answered, "Why are you afraid? You don't have enough faith." Then Jesus got up and gave a command to the wind and the waves, and it became completely calm. (NCV)

Now means at the present time; at that time. The word now in the Greek language is nun and it means of time, the immediate present. When Jesus spoke to the wind and the waves, they were completely calm. Do you have "Now Faith" or "little faith"?

Faith sees the invisible and brings life to the unbelievable. Faith sees a thing before it actually is a thing. Faith has to be, beyond what you can see in the natural. Faith says although you can't see the move you must believe the move. By faith Noah built the Ark. By faith Abraham sacrificed his only son, not knowing what was to come and look how God blessed him. But without faith it is impossible to please the Lord.

Do you have "little faith" or "Now Faith"? The righteous will live by faith, and that is "Now Faith"!!!!!!!!!

"You can keep faith only as you can keep a plant, by rooting it into your life and making it grow there." Phillips Brooks

"GOD'S CREATIVE WORK"

"GOD'S CREATIVE WORK"

Genesis 1:25

And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and everything that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and God saw that it was good. (KJV)

What a Mighty God we serve to create All things. We were made in God's own image, each and every one of us and with unique gifts and talents. Over the weekend I had an opportunity to take my son to the Birmingham Zoo, and there I was able to enjoy some of God's creations. It bless me to see how each animal had a distinct look and purpose and how each one was nothing like the next. In the Kingdom of God we all have purpose and God has blessed each and every one of us with a creative and or spiritual gift. Let us today and everyday thank God for His creative works and gifts and just for life itself.

THE CREATOR CREATED CREATIVE WORKS, AND ALL HAVE PURPOSE!

Food for thought: If your are not sure what your purpose in life is SEEK the Master, He will answer.

"PUSH, PRESS, PRAISE"

"PUSH, PRESS, PRAISE"

Philippians 3:14

I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. (NKJ)

Friends no matter what is at hand or what it may appear to be, you must "PUSH". You are a child of the most High King, therefore it is imperative that you "PRESS". Lift your hands to the Father and open your mouth and let out a ear-splitting "PRAISE". Your name is "VICTORY" and you are destined for greatness. Great things and people must be processed out, so walk it out and walk into "DESTINY".

PUSH IN PAIN, PRESS FOR THE PRIZE, AND PRAISE BECAUSE YOUR NAME IS "VICTORY"!!!!!!!

Do not let great ambitions overshadow small success.
