What is it going to take to get your attention??

Psalms 78:34“When he slew them, then they sought him: and they returned and enquired early after God. And they remembered that God was their rock, and the high God their redeemer.”

Every person has a different breaking point. For some personal tragedy is their limit, for others its just being at a low point in their life without hope of change, and yet for others its extreme measure like losing everything and having everyone you know being put in a position that they cannot help you in any way.




There was a King of Israel that made such a choice.  He chose to go against everything he had been taught when he was growing up and through pride, bring the destruction of his kingdom and enslavement of his people.  The story didn't end there though. After he was in captivity he sought the Most High and was granted a chance at repentance.

2 Chronicles 33:11 Wherefore the LORD brought upon them the captains of the host of the king of Assyria, which took Manasseh among the thorns, and bound him with fetters, and carried him to Babylon.12 And when he was in affliction, he besought the LORD his God, and humbled himself greatly before the God of his fathers,13 And prayed unto him: and he was intreated of him, and heard his supplication, and brought him again to Jerusalem into his kingdom. Then Manasseh knew that the LORD he was God.

 

Unfortunately for most people coming to the end of themselves is a long hard journey. If you are watching a loved one go through this, be encouraged, as long as there is breath in them there is hope for them! Pray, press in, and trust that the Most High will keep his promises.

 

 

 

 

Proverbs 20:7“The just man walketh in his integrity: his children are blessed after him.” 

Proverbs 14:26“In the fear of the LORD is strong confidence: and his children shall have a place of refuge.”

 Acts 16:31-32“And they said, Believe on the Lord Yashaya Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.And they spake unto him the word of the Lord, and to all that were in his house.” 

Jeremiah 32:39“And I will give them one heart, and one way, that they may fear me forever, for the good of them, and of their children after them:”

 

 

Covetiousness

Luke 12:15 And he said unto them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man's life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth.

cov·et

ˈkəvət  verb

verb: covet; 3rd person present: covets; past tense: coveted; past participle: coveted; gerund or present participle: coveting

yearn to possess or have (something).

"the president-elect covets time for exercise and fishing"

synonyms:

desire, yearn for, crave, have one's heart set on, want, wish for, long for, hanker after/for, hunger after/for, thirst for

When we covet what another has we are not only being ungrateful but we are also making way for envy, lust, jealousy, resentment, and ultimately hatred to have a place in our lives.  These are all works of the flesh. As the scripts tell us that our flesh is an enemy of The Most High it is up to us to buffet our flesh and subdue it to the authority of Christ.1 John 2:16

Mark 7:20

 And he said That which cometh out of the man, that defileth the man.²¹ For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders,²²Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness:²³ All these evil things come from within, and defile the man.

1 Corinthians 6:⁹Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, 10“Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.”- also Eph 5:5, Colossians 3:5

 

Ephesians 5:3“ But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not be once named among you, as becometh saints;”

 Romans 13: ⁸Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law. ⁹For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet; and if there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. ¹⁰Love worketh no ill to his neighbor: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law. ¹¹And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed. ¹²The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us, therefore, cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of light.

Untangling the web

Living in this world the more we learn the more we find out how deceived we truly were. How far the rabbit hole goes! How do you know which way is the correct way? How do you know what is truth and what is fiction? What is forward and backward, up and down? If most everything that you have been taught during your lifetime was under the guise of Truth; and yet the more research you do you find out that there was deception involved how do you know which way is which? Discernment! Discernment is how you know the Most High says he offers discernment of Good and Evil to each person.
Solomon asked for it:

1 Kings 3:9“Give therefore thy servant an understanding heart to judge thy people, that I may discern between good and bad: for who is able to judge this thy so great a people?”

 Hebrews 5:14“But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.”

 It is up to us to exercise it to know the difference between a truth and a lie. The Holy Spirit is the spirit of Truth. If you are seeking the Father and his righteousness he will reward you with the holy spirit that will lead you into all truth. You have to be willing to be corrected and brought into the Most Highs alignment.

 Your leader should be teaching you the tools you need to learn more.

Ezekiel 44:23“And they shall teach my people the difference between the holy and profane, and cause them to discern between the unclean and the clean.”

Ecclesiastes 8:5“Whoso keepeth the commandment shall feel no evil thing: and a wise man's heart discerneth both time and judgment.”

Cause-and-effect law

Galatians 6:7“Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.”

Are you eating the fruit of your own selfishness??? You will reap all that you have sown. If you have sown selfishness you shouldn't be surprised when those around you begin to behave in a selfish manner toward you.  The bible says the Most High loves a cheerful giver. You can't be selfish and a giver at the same time. Denying your flesh takes work, practice, and choice.

Psalms 126:5“They that sow in tears shall reap in joy.” 

 

2 Corinthians 9:6 “But this I say, He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully.”

Hosea 10:12“Sow to yourselves in righteousness, reap in mercy; break up your fallow ground: for it is time to seek the LORD, till he come and rain righteousness upon you.”

When we are focused on the imperfections around us we will be walking in an ungrateful attitude and will not be shining the light of Christ.

Caring for your temple

1 Corinthians 3:16 Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and [that] the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?17 If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which [temple] ye are.
He who destroys the temple....... How are you taking care of your temple? You have heard the adage you are what you eat. Your cells in your body will regenerate at different rates over time, that's most of the important cells in your operating systems. What are your cells telling you about the decisions you have made the last 7 years?  How have you fed it?  Do you research the things you take or do you just go with the flow or solely by your perception of what will taste good or not? We can't go back and change the past but we are in charge of the choices we make daily.  Start to make choices right now that will set you up to have the temple that The Holy spirit will be proud to dwell in!

Romans 12:1“I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.”

1 Corinthians 6:19 What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost [which is] in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?20 For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.



2 Corinthians 6:16“And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.”

Creed

In the Army of The Most High

Christ is my commanding officer.

The Holy manuscript is my code of conduct.

Prayer and the whole Armor of The Most High
 are My Weapons of Warfare.

I have been taught by the Holy Spirit, Trained by Experience,
Tried by Adversity, & Tested by Fire!
I AM MORE than a conqueror, 
I WILL Always triumph. 
I CAN do all things through Christ who strengthens me.
Devils CANT defeat me.
 People CANT disillusion me
Weather cannot weary me
Sickness can't stop me
 Battles CANT defeat me
Money can't buy me
Governments can't silence me
HELL can't handle me!!

We stand the tallest and strongest through prayer!!!

What is your battle cry???

Isaiah 40:29-31 - He giveth power to the faint; and to [them that have] no might he increaseth strength.  



 

When you're feeling overwhelmed and at the end of all you can bear, where do you turn? Do you cry out to Christ for help? Do you look to Him as your source of everything? The enemy will not let down his attack for one minute of any day for if through his attacks he is able to steal your faith from you then he will have won.  So when  you face your next test or trial remember Judith and raise your voice in a battle cry! Take the battle to the enemy never let him gain an inch!

Matthew 11: ²⁸Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. ²⁹Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. ³⁰For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light. 

Isaiah 41:10 - Fear thou not; for I [am] with thee: be not dismayed; for I [am] thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.
 

Psalms 18:32-34 - [It is] God that girdeth me with strength, and maketh my way perfect.   (Read More...)

Philippians 2:13 - For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of [his] good pleasure.

Hebrews 4:15 - For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as [we are, yet] without sin.

1 Chronicles 22:13 - Then shalt thou prosper, if thou takest heed to fulfill the statutes and

judgments which the LORD charged Moses with concerning Israel: be strong, and of good courage; dread not, nor be dismayed.

Judith 13:7“And approached to his bed, and took hold of the hair of his head, and said, "Strengthen me, O Lord God of Israel, this day.”

Bootcamp

Luke 9:62“And Yashaya said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plow, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.”

 So you've joined up. Committed your life to service of Christ. Made a confession that you are a sinner and in need of a Savior.  You're in boot camp. Time to change your routine. Time to get serious and let go of all the old ways. Time to become disciplined. Every area of your life is going to change.

When you look at boot-camp they take average people with a desire to serve and turn them into fighting machines. That is what the Most High wants to take you from, average to more than a conqueror.(Romans 8:37 )  This takes work, discipline, and determination. There is no room for regret. This commitment was not one to be made lightly. Now that you have made it, you must push through blood, sweat, and tears. (Heb 12:4) Get booted and suited in your full armor (Eph 6:16-18), read your instruction manual (2 Tim 2:15), find someone to clarify the things you don't understand( Hebrews 13:17), Pray, study, fast,  & train. The fight is only going to intensify until the end of the age. If you need help ask He has promised to supply you every tool you need to walk on to victory!! (Phill 4:19)

 

Hebrews 10:38-39“Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him.But we are not of them who draw back unto perdition; but of them that believe to the saving of the soul.” 

 

2 Timothy 2:3“Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Yashaya Christ.”

Loyalty to Royalty

Revelation 22:14“Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.”

 

When you live in a kingdom there are certain rules and regulations that you have to follow. If you are a faithful and loyal subject you will be recognized by such as are not a part of that kingdom.  We are working to be in the kingdom of The Most High. He has laid out his rules regulations and order. Will you be compliant? Will you accept the people he chooses to honor or put in places of power? Are you submitted? This is our proving ground. Do those around you recognize that you live by a different code then most?   Are you showing the fruits of the code that you live by in your life?



The word tells us we can be perfect.Psalms 37:37,2 Corinthians 13:11,
Matthew 5:48

: Strong's G5048 - teleioō

1. to make perfect, complete
   1. to carry through completely, to accomplish, finish, bring to an end
2. to complete (perfect)
   1. add what is yet wanting in order to render a thing full
   2. to be found perfect
3. to bring to the end (goal) proposed
4. to accomplish
   1. bring to a close or fulfilment by event
      1. of the prophecies of the scriptures

John 17:23“I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me.” 

  1Jo 2:5But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected:  hereby know we that we are in him.

So if you can be made perfect in Him what does that mean? Perfect peace Isaiah 26:3, perfect Love 1 John 4:18, Joy Ecclesiastes 2:26, Patience Luke 21:19, Kindness Proverbs 31:26, Goodness 2 Peter 1:7, faithfulness 15:15, long-suffering 3:12, self-control Proverbs 25:28 . All gifts of the spirit which is already perfected as she is with the Father. We still have some work to do to prove we are loyal subjects ready to become royalty in His kingdom.
