The Gospel

I was once asked by a young man to explain what I believed. I was taken back for a bit because it was so much I believed a lot I mean as Christians we have beliefs on healings, Grace, Authority, Sovereignty, and a lot more. I told him to meet me at my house the next day to explain. He showed up the next day and for an hour I proceeded to pour out my beliefs. That man received Jesus Christ that day praise God. I realized that it wasn’t beliefs that I needed to tell that young man it was the Gospel that would bless him. We find ourselves so often as Christian discussing believes and proper ways to appropriate things in our heart that we look over that the simple message of the Gospel is more then enough for a lifetime. But what is the Gospel how can we put it into perspective. Through this letter I hope to answer many of my own questions. I believe the power of a purpose or cause in Christ is a key element to living a life of fire. But before anything we must fall in love with Christ simply because of who he is not because our desire to be great. We have thrown around the term Gospel so often it becomes irrelevant to its true meaning and loses a little bit of its awesomness to our carnal thinking. The Gospel is not good advice the Gospel is so much more, its love its power, its grace, its passion, divinity, that creates such a drive in people they have given there lives to simply promote and proclaim it.
The majority of people that do not serve the lord do not choose to because of remorse or hatred or even atheism, its that the Gospel of Jesus Christ sounds to good to be true. They often talk about it in a condescending sarcastic tone because in there carnal thinking they can never see a man dying for people he knew would turn there backs on them. And the simplicity of Gods Grace and Forgiveness makes them skeptic. Brothers and sisters if you have the faith to except Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior and believe that while we were yet sinners Christ died for us? Then you have the faith to move mountains, Because to the Carnal the Gospel seems almost to good to be true.
And that’s what the Gospel means ALMOST to good to be true. Praise God for that almost Amen. The Gospel is this. Jesus Gods only begotten son born of a Virgin knowing know sin became sin so that we might become the righteousness of God (2 Cor 5:21.) Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes we were healed (1 peter 2:24). For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified. (Hebrews 10:14). And their sins and iniquites will he remember no more. (Hebrews 10:17). For by grace our we now saved through faith, and that not of ourselves, it is a gift of God (Ephesians 2:8). But now in christ Jesus ye who were far off are made nigh by the blood of christ. (Ephesians 2:13). Being made free from sin we have become servants of righteousness (Romans 6:18). Amen  That’s the Gospel.
A man who rather then knowing Love was love, he took our tab paid our debt. Completely undeserving of any punishment suffered a death that no other man could endure. He carried his cross after being beaten to the top of the Hill not because of him but because of you. When the crowd shouted crucify he did not plead his case because he was pleading yours and mine. He bore our sins upon himself and by his stripes we are healed. And when he said it was finished our sins no longer stood in the way of our righteousness by Grace through faith. God hates sin and Loves us with complete agape love, the only perfect love.
Brothers and sisters as best as I could I have still yet done the Gospel an injustice. You see the Gospel is not a time, or place, or even an event. it’s the perfect time the perfect place the perfect event and so much more. The Best part about the Gospel is its not about you its about him but its for you. The Gospel is simply that apart from anything we can or have done we have inherited the kingdom of God and become joint heirs with christ without a single ounce of deservigness. We will reign with him for eternity, we will walk this earth prosperous, healed, in peace, love, Joy, spreading his Light wherever we go not because we love him but that he loved us and he has given us all we could ever need ask or think because he is our Abba Father, our daddy, and to us its all a gift. Brother that’s almost to good to be true, that’s Gospel.

Identifying With Christ

In a world with Population in the billions we see many types of lifestyles and beliefs. We see blacks, whites, atheist, Jews, Christians, Happy people, sad people, depressed, crippled, tall, short, Gay, straight, the list Goes on forever in fact somewhere in the billions. But our differences do not truly describe who we are, our identity is in who we chose to obey, whether sin unto death, or obedience unto righteousness. We our either sinners and lost or we are believers who have found a savior. The lost seek often to be different because they feel as though they cant relate to anything nor do they desire to. The want to be an individual with his or her own thing, as believers we only have one thing and that is Jesus Christ. God is a God of free will he will not control us, if he did, I believe we would still be hanging out in the Garden of Eden getting electrocuted anytime we reached for the fruit and no one would perish . Therefore God blessed us with uniqueness, I am an individual no one else is exactly like, no one talks exactly like me, or looks exactly like me, or thinks like me or has the same fingerprint as me. I respect myself as an individual with freedom of controlling my actions. But I do not relate or Identify with me, I am just a person and my purpose and cause and life on this earth and power is limited. Because its not me but rather Christ within. I Know that I can do all things Through Christ which strengthens me, not through my sins or good deeds but simply through him therefore I will identify myself with Him. Ive been made free from sin becoming a servant of righteousness. Amen I am more then a Conqueror. Not because I loved him but because He first Loved us, So much that he gave his only son. And he commendeth his Love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners christ died for us. Without him I am nothing my righteousness is as filthy rags but with him I have faith that can move mountains and power to see the lost saved and the sick healed. In him I am now a new creature and I am a Heir to the throne of the Kingdom of God not by my works or actions but by the free Gift through the Grace Of Jesus Christ Amen. I will rest in the goodness of my maker and will no longer identify with me and who I am or what Ive done or what I deserve, I will identify with The unmerited favor and Love and Grace of the Finished Work of Jesus Christ. No matter what you look like or think or no matter your actions whther you’ve lived a good life or bad one, none of it matters its not sin or no sin Its simply his Love and I don’t care to what corner or extreme you find yourself in everyone must come to the center and identify themselves in and through Christ, He is the only way. Amen  

Fulfilled

This is Originally a Letter I intended to send to a few People I would ask to sponsor my missions trip for the school next year. We do a walk a thon and through Donations from supporters and missions points given to us for volunteering at the school. But I just wanted to bless you with a testimony I have of a young man receiving Jesus Christ To edify you and lift you up today. The works of the Ministry is simple if we just simply walk in love.



“YES”!!. A word that can mean many different things. The word Yes is defined as, (used to
The night before this young man had called me and requested to speak with me about his life and where he was headed, and he wanted to hear my perspective on Christianity. I gladly took him up on his request and spoke to him the next day when I got out of school. When he came to me and told me what was laying heavy on his heart I notice a pattern, everything he was saying was about him, But Loved ones its really not about us at all, its about HIM. The Holy Spirit quickly prompted me to tell him the truth about the Loving God I serve. How BY grace are we saved through faith, and that not of ourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast ( Ephesians 2:8), I told him all have sinned and come short of the glory of God (Romans 3:23), But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, it is evident: for, the just shall live by faith (Galatians 3:11). And he who knew no sin, became sin, that we might become the righteousness of God (2 Cor 5:21). And that righteousness is unto all and upon all that believe (Romans 3:22). That if we confess with our mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead thou shalt be saved (Romans 10:9). And Once we have accepted him there is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in christ (Galatians 3:28). And we all are equal heirs to the kingdom and throne of God equally as righteous, forgiven, and Loved. I saw the peace of God come all over this young man and a understanding he had never had before and when I said, “would you like to accept him in your heart?”
His response was simply, “YES”.
I Led him in a short prayer basically exactly what Romans 10:9 says accepting him as his savior and it was done, A SOUL SAVED from eternal damnation and earthly confusion, to eternity in the presence of the king and clarity on earth.
You see that’s all God requires on our part is a simple YES father. He takes care of the rest. Im not called to the ministry because Im Qualified already and God said it be great if He came and worked for me. Jesus Christ Qualified me and equipped me, he paid for it all. The only thing he needs from us is a willing heart to do his Will. BY the grace of God I said Yes a couple years ago and now am in Colorado Springs sitting under some of the best teaching in the World, and he has provided the way 100% spiritually, physically, mentally, financially, you name it and it was HIM. Since I’ve been here I personally have prayed for people and seen instant manifestations of healings, souls saved, supernatural prosperity, words of knowledge, and much more. God Bless you all for your prayers and support as I have finished my first year at CBC.  express affirmation or assent or to mark the addition of something emphasizing and amplifying a previous statement). Yes, is generally a response to something and can often have great Value. But a few weeks ago the word “YES” was 100 percent priceless for a young man I work with, with that one word he expressed his Faith and Desire to accept Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior.

Happy Mothers Day

Love is patient; love is kind. Love is not jealous; is not proud; is not conceited; does not act foolishly; is not selfish; is not easily provoked to anger; keeps no record of wrongs; takes no pleasure in unrighteousness, but rejoices in the truth; love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, and endures all things. ~ I Corinthians 13:4-7. (NIV)

         Ive often Heard that a Mothers Love is the closest thing to Gods Love. Although truthfully no other Love even comes close to the Love of God this statement holds truth. The verses in I Corinthians 13:4-7 is a very good description of My mother. A mothers Love is often based on a simple fact that you are her child therefore no matter what you do she Loves you through it all.  When the Love of a Mother Combines with the supernatural Love of God you get what I like to call a SUPERMOM, and thats what I had. She allowed the Love of God to flow through her in every situation, when she allowed Love to flow through her she overcame her flesh in every situation. We were often disciplined Growing up and when I say that I mean spanked, We would often be spanked and sat down after and Read scripture explaining why we were spanked, and if we didn't give it to God what it would lead to down the road. I was blessed with the ability to listen to my mother because the wisdom she had impressed me so much, often she would know things without us telling her because she was run by Love and the Holy Spirit, she would sit down with us and pray. My Mother Raised children for 23 Years and Counting and she never grew weary, she gave us something very Valuable God, LOve, and Time. If we showed up 10 min late after our curfew, she didnt say Ill deal with it in the Morning, she against her flesh often got out of bed late in the night after being asleep for hours sometimes and would talk to us for hours, and explain that it wasnt about the time but the selfish attitude behind it and she would discern where this selfishness came from. She would give us the Gospel, give us a chance to share anything with her, tell us she Loved us and off to bed. But I would have to say my favorite thing about my Mother was the Next morning it was as if she had completely forgotten the night before, id walk out into the living room shy and nervous that I was in trouble. She would look over and see me and say, " Momma isnt mad at you, I dont hold on to anything, today is a new day and I love you." A clean slate was a blessing. You see she constantly displayed a Godly Love to me. And in my early years she helped me build My relationship with God, as I became a young man she stressed to me that I was becoming my own man now and she wouldnt always be there to guide us, but God would through the Holy spirit, she trained me on how to overcome every situation. By the time I hit High school I was a young man on fire for God, and through his Grace I never strayed. My Mom was never a, "because I said So," Mom, It was always because God said so and thats why the principals stuck with us kids even after we were grown, because momma wasnt the reason we werent living in Sin God was. One day I believe together from a son and mother perspective I will ask my Mom to write a book on parenting, but I know what it will look like, a book of  Bible verses with breif explanations on applying it to your life. A Mothers Love molded me in to the man I am today. A mothers Love has caused many people to hear the Gospel. A mothers Love Has Kept people from Hell. A mothers Love has caused people to be healed. A mothers LOVE has touched the lives of hundreds maybe thousands, A mothers Love will change the world. Mothers Don't listen to the Lies of Satan your Job is in my opinion I vital role in the kingdom of God. God bless all you Mothers today. And Momma if Your reading this I love you, Happy Mothers Day. 

Resurrection

                   What A great thing to Celebrate today, the resurrection of Jesus. It is very rare you will find someone who denies the existence of Jesus Christ, because he is simply a part of history even to non-believers. What people doubt are the two things that Christianity stands on, The Virgin Birth and The Resurrection. How awesome is it that millions of believers and non believers alike Honor and celebrate these two days known as Christmas and Easter. Today we celebrate his Resurrection, and the Lord has laid it upon my heart to edify us as a body of the resurrection of Jesus Christ.

         As I looked over the four accounts in the Gospel of the Resurrection of Jesus it shocked me how skeptical the very men that walked with Jesus were of him raising from the dead. The account of Thomas is well known, but is the story of Thomas telling the others unless he see's he will not believe. Then Jesus appeared to him and he put his hand in Jesus' side and Jesus told him because you have seen you believe blessed are the ones who have not seen and beleieve. We refer to Thomas as "Doubting Thomas." But there were many other accounts of men doubting Jesus' resurrection. What about in Luke 24 the two men on the way to Emmaus, they spoke to God with such doubt proclaiming, But we trusted that it had been he which should have redeemed Israel. They had no belief that he was risen, as far as they were concerned Jesus was a bust. But he came against them in verse 25-26, " O fools, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken: (26) Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter into his glory? The next verse goes on to say that Jesus expounded on all the instances in the scriptures from moses and all the prophets that concerning himself. But even more amazing they still did not believe, walking with Jesus Himself listening to him quote scripture, it wasnt until he was with them and broke bread among them, it says And their eyes were opened.
        Also the account of Mary Magdalene. Jesus spoke to her and said, Woman why weepest thou? Whom seekest thou? She supposed he was a gardener and said, "Sir, if thou have borne him hence, tell me where thou hast laid him, and I will take him away. Mary accused Jesus of moving Rabboni which is Master. But his act was a miracle a man she believed was a starnger knew her name and immediately her eyes were opened that it was Jesus. We tend to overlook the doubt of the disciples who went back to fishing, they simply put there Bibles and crosses down and went back to a normal life. The believed that God was dead, and when Jesus appeared unto them he told them where to cast their nets and when they did they caught so many fish just like before and recognized that it was christ.
        It is an incredible display of doubt from some of the people that knew Jesus best. It is assumed that Jesus did not look the same when he appeared to them after his death as before his death. But I believe the main reason they did not recognize him was because their heart wasnt open to him being alive. Can you imagine seeing someone you watched die days after their death. You would just assume it was someone else that looked extremely similar because to you its not even a possibility because you watched them die. This is exactly how everyone who came in contact with Jesus after his Crucifixion felt. Despite every prophecy and all the scriptures and everything Jesus said they still doubted that he was alive.
          But the proof of Jesus' resurrection can be found in this incredible doubt. Because despite all of this doubt and even the soldiers being paid off to say he was taken, despite the fact that everyone had virtually given up and felt like all hope was gone They just as quickly as they doubted believed because of what they saw. These followers were just as skeptical as anyone because they saw him crucified but they also saw him Alive and Risen again AMEN. These men and women were set on fire getting thousands saved and preaching the Gospel to all nations. LAdies and gentleman you dont sell out to christ give up what you do pack up your home and just start walking and preaching the Gospel unless you believe in it 110% and whole heartedly. Despite their previous doubts and the rumors of the soldiers that the body was stolen from the tomb nothing could stop the belief of these men and women who went unto the upper room because THEY SAW. To deny that these followers saw somthing is as ridiculous as denying the air we breathe. As they say the proof is in the pudding, their unbelief was not wiped away with words from angels, or even scripture, or prophecy, but because OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST IS RISEN FROM THE DEAD and these men and women witnessed it and there is no denying that Amen and have a blessed day.

Pleading Your Case

            An accusation is one of the quickest ways to test someones ability to focus soley on their identity in christ. Now that is a bold statement because even as christians we assume its always appropriate if someone wrongfully accuses us of a sinful act that we are to "correct" them. Im not saying their isnt a time to adress someone when led so by the Holy spirit, but we often dont even pray about the situation we come right out and bless them back. How many know this isnt displaying the Love of God? False accusation is wrong and evil, but as christians we dont come against evil with more evil we overcome it with Love. An incredible example is found in John chapter 8 of the woman caught in adultery. It is assumed by scholars this woman was taken from a brothel of some sort, When the woman was brought to Jesus it was brought to him as a trap to try and accuse him. Jesus could have pointed the finger right back at these people and Justified it with, "how many women a day commit adultery, if any of you have ever looked at a woman in lust you are guilty to, all of you are just as guilty I should stone you too, im the only one here without sin."
Instead in Love he said, "he without sin cast the first stone."
And when everyone was gone he looked at the woman and said, " Woman where are your accusers, does no one condemn you."
She responded, "None Lord."
Jesus lovingly, " Neither do I condemn you, Go and sin no more."
           Arent you glad that Jesus doesnt condemn you? This woman wasnt even wrongfully accused it was appropriate under law, but Jesus Christ did not condemn her Amen.
          

            Well today is a good Friday Praise God and we celebrate the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. As I began to read John 19, the recording of the trial and crucifixion The Holy spirit Quickened to me Something Incredible. Jesus Stoof there in front of the multitude completely 100% sinless and wrongfully accused. Can you imagine being accussed for lying that you said you were someone who you truly were. Today if I were at an airport and TSA pulled me aside and said Look your going to Jail for Identity Fraud you say your name is Dalton Mixon, I would promptly plead, " Here is my liscense my social security Look me up I am who I say I am. " But that is not what Jesus Christ did because he wasnt Pleading his case, he was pleading ours. And he did it willingly and with the greatest Love you can Imagine. As I read on The Holy spirit showed me neither did God do it dragging his feet, when he did it he gave it his best. He very easily from all of his wounds could have passed out and been drug to the Cross, but it was his Honor with much determination and LOve to Drag that cross to the top of that Hill for you and I. God gave us His Best JESUS, and JESUS like his father gave us his best. There will never be another man as selfless and full of love.
              My MOM growing up always came against the world when the put pretty words on ugly things. Such as homosexuals being call, "GAYS," which we know also means happy. NOw the word crucify I believe has lost some of its meaning in the church, It was not a pretty thing that Jesus Went through. The accusation alone most of us couldnt stand, he was slapped, punched, spit on, thorns dug in his head, whipped, had flesh pulled out, nails through his feet and hands, and so much more. Jesus Does not want you to feel sorry for him today but rather rejoice in the Kind of love that he displayed in his Crucifixion. Because remember That Jesus wasnt pleading his case, he was pleading yours.
                          Praise God Today Amen. I LOVE YOU.

Romans

        As Christians we generally have a good idea of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. And for the most part we can relay this message incredibly to an unbeliever, portraying the Love of Christ and Grace of God. But when it comes to ourselves this message just doesnt seem to hold as much weight. We understand were righteous in Gods eyes, but in what we call "Reality" we are living by the flesh. See we sometimes distort the Gospel to make it make sense to our lives. Because many christians struggle with the mindset that although in their christian lifes they are righteous but in there earthly lifes they are still sinners. They convinced themselves its okay because it is their flesh and flesh is bad and will pass away but there spirit is sanctified. But how shall we that are dead to sin live any longer therin?  ( Romans 6:2). See this questions perplexed Paul, because to him this mindset doesnt make any sense at all. It is literally impossible to Live in Sin if we are in Christ, its like trying to live in twon places at once. You may say well you dont understand I sin quite a bit, well brother or sister we all sin quite a bit, but that is not where we live or abide. Some people take many vacations, or trips to the movies, or out to eat, but that is not your home, its not where you live. For instance I am in college at this very moment in Colorado attending a wonderful bible college but this is not my Home; My home is in Florida and everytime I return my momma has freshly cleaned my room straightened it up and kept it nice and just the same as when I left.
          Now by no means am I comparing sin to a vacation or attending A bible college however im trying to get my point across of the impossibility of living this double life of Righteous and Sinners at the same time. Reality is up to you, is this temporary world that will pass away and all that is in it, or is the eternal things which are unseen that created this world. For me the decision is easy i back it up with this scripture, 2 corinthians 4:18  While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen [are] temporal; but the things which are not seen [are] eternal. The truth then is this we have been set free from sin Amen and been made slaves to righteousness (Romans 6:18). Sin doesnt have dominion over me, because im not under the law, I AM UNDER GRACE (Romans 6:14). Satans greatest weapon against christians is lack of knowledge, he will fight and do his best to keep Christians attention on themselves as if they are not a new Creature in Christ. But thats why we renew our mind unto who we are in him, without him I am a Sinner but with him I am the righteous of Christ, as sinless, as sanctified and pure as Jesus Christ himself Amen.


         People like to complicate things a bit when it comes to old man and new and flesh and spirit. But men of God once you have christ you have everything. We all sin and come short of the Glory of God, However sin the verb and sin the noun are two different matters.  When we talk as sin the act then yes we still being imperfect and living in a corrupt world will sin but we do not live in it Amen I am not a sinner, just become im in a Garage doesnt make me a car and just because I sin doesnt make me a sinner nor do I Live in it amen. I look forward to sharing more of Romans with you as the Holy spirit Guides Amen. God bless you all and make Gods LOve abound in your life.

He is Our Everything

           God Bless you this today, you righteous of christ.

John 15:9

As the Father Hath Loved Me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my Love. (written in red amen)

What a powerful scripture, That scripture says so much to me and has blessed me, but it has blessed me even more what it doesn't say. There is absolutely no restrictions on Gods love, its not to the born again soley, its not to the righteous by works, not to the super duper Christians, it is to EVERYONE. Im here to tell you today I dont care who you are, what you have done, where you have been, the sins you commited, or the sins your going to commit, God Loves you Just as much as he loves Andrew Wommack, Joseph Prince, or any other well known Man of GOD. All Have sinned and come short of the Glory of God on their own efforts (Romans 3:23), but through christ the same Glory that God gave Jesus, HE has given to us (JOhn 17:22).

         Loved ones, HE wants to be your everything today. Its very easy to get caught up in the things of this World but im done battling with it Im gonna abide in someone who has already overcame it (John 16:33). In Him I have peace, (John 16:33), To know that we abide in the Him and he in us (1 John 4:13) has eradicated any fear or lack of peace in my life, He is the way, the Truth, and the Life, and he abides in me. HE is not only taking Care of me, he is showing me the Way, and truth, and Life, Im not surviving Im thriving. And if he isnt already he wants to be your everything today as well. HE has provided peace, Joy, Love, Faith, Salvation, Prosperity, Wholeness and healing, gentleness, goodness, meekness and so much more.
         How do we make God our everything? We simply allow him to be. Believe it or not it actually takes more effort to make God partially in control then to allow him to be in complete control. Its like your trying to get something youve already Got. God has given us a comforter called the Holy spirit that when accepted into our lifes will be everything we need here on this earth.  John 16:13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come. Jesus said in John 16:7 that it was expedient that he went away so the HOLY SPIRIT or COMFORTER will come. The Holy sprit will teach us ALL things and bring things to our remembrance PRAISE GOD (John 14:26). Saints, Jesus provided a paid vacation for us AMEN. Hes provided truth, teachings, giving us the ability to know things that havent happened yet, a prayer language, authority and so much more. If we just simply rely on him, accept the Holy spirit into our lives and allow him to be 100% our go to man for everything. Ill make you this Promise today when you rely on him for every matter you'll be above alright, you'll be prosperous, healthy, wise, full of Love, Peace, Joy and all the fruits that accompany the goodness of God.
          I Pray for you today that if God isnt your everything in every matter that he will just bless you with the faith to let go and Let GOD be in control. All you have to do is listen to the Holy Spirit and be obedient. 


If You Are not filled with the Holy spirit yet please send me an email at Livin4christ91@gmail.com i would love to talk with you and answer any questions you may have concerning the Holy spirit. Dont let anything hold you back from Recieving the Holy spirit and all that gifts it comes with.

The Good News

Immediately when a sin is committed in a Christian’s life Satan will come with guilt, condemnation, and any and everything to show you your unworthiness and lack of righteousness. It seems like when we pray for a healing every sin is brought back to us showing us our inability to see the sick recover. When we believe for prosperity we look at every imperfection to foreshadow our failure as a prosperous Christian. This I can promise you my brothers and sisters in Christ any of these thoughts are not of Christ. We talked in the last lesson of Gods desire for our healing and prosperity being greater than ours. God is our rock and is at all times our stable foundation. This confusion and feeling of unworthiness is no more than a lie from Satan himself.
You see it’s the only thing he can do is get us to look at ourselves and focus attention on self rather than Jesus, because he already tried Jesus once and failed miserably. Satan is 100 % right about you being worthless and a sinner, if you haven’t confessed with your mouth and believed in your Heart that Jesus is Lord and God and raised him from the dead, but once you've excepted him as your savior it’s no longer about you it’s about him and Jesus' finished work on the cross.
Allot of us have caught on to that good works do not cause God to have a better attitude towards us, but we've aloud ourselves to believe that our sins cause God to not necessarily change his attitude towards us but remove just a little bit of Goodness or love, Loved ones God is Love and God is good you either have the whole thing or nothing it’s a package deal and if you are my brother in Christ you have all of Jesus' love and goodness. Ephesians 2:⁸For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: See it’s no longer about you or self-it’s simply a gift From God given Unconditional or you could say it like this. Gods Salvation and goodness and Love towards you isn’t based on any condition there’s nothing you can do to earn it and nothing you can do to have him take it away.
The only thing we are convicted of as Christians is righteousness by the Holy Spirit (John 16:10). When condemnation or conviction of sins come don’t you dare give it any truth in your life, IT is a Lie brother today March 3, 2011 I tell you that today if you are a Christian YOU ARE RIGHTEOUS.

Hebrews 10: ¹²But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down on the right hand of God;

Hebrews 10:¹⁴For by one offering he hath perfected forever them that are sanctified.

Hebrews 10:¹⁷And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more.
¹⁸Now where remission of these is, there is no more offering for sin.

One sacrifice, Jesus Christ, Has perfected forever those who have accepted Christ. No longer our sins even remembered by Christ. There are no more offerings for sin because there doesn’t need to be, Jesus blood paid for it all. If God doesn’t remember our sins why would he condemn us or convict us with them, when he looks at us he sees the same Glory he had for Jesus Christ (John 17:22).

Praise God don’t ever allow Satan to tell you that you’re unworthy or undeserving of anything God has promised you. Through Christ you’re as deserving as Jesus himself. Without him you are nothing but with him you’re everything. All have sinned and come short of the Glory of God (Romans 3:23), that means everyone Andrew Wommack, Smith Wigglesworth, John G Lake, Kathryn Kuhlman and any and every great woman and man of God, without Jesus these men and women are nothing but with and through him they have done incredible works through Christ and the only thing Qualifying them is the blood and sacrifice of Jesus Christ the same thing Qualifying you and me. Don’t allow Satan to compare you with man only allow yourself to be identified with Jesus Christ.
Next time you lay your hands on the sick or speak forth prosperity, the only thing that should mean anything is that completely through faith in Christ there has never been a man or woman more worthy then you at that very instant of that healing or prosperity through Christ Jesus and his incredible Love Amen.

WHAT DO WE KNOW?

     

                              

        2 Peter 1:2 Grace and Peace be multiplied unto you through the Knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord,     

King James Version

(emphasis mine)

             I get home from school, drop my bookbag by the couch, set my phone on the table and begin to prepare my lunch. About the time I start frying my eggs, my girlfriend calls. I walk toward the phone, pick it up and, amongst my roommates and their friends, I say, "HEY Woman." The reaction of the crowd varies. Those who know me begin to laugh.  Those who don’t know me look at one another and get a little uncomfortable; perhaps assuming I’m very upset with my girlfriend and completely disrespecting her.   Once they catch on with the others that this is more a flirtatious word of endearment, the comfort level begins to rise again.
          My example, although silly, has a very good point to it. Once you KNOW someone, things no longer have to be explained in detail. Everyone can bring to mind that one person or several people that they just KNOW and when anyone else enters in on the conversation, they may be completely lost.  My brother and I have a completely different language than I share with any other person. When people enter in on one of our conversations, it’s not long until we get some eye-rolling, then a few unexplainable questions, until, finally, it’s back to just us. But I KNOW my brother and he KNOWS me.  For 19 years we have been developing this language.
         We often “look” at God as words on a page. The tone is constant and the meaning is always direct as we see it. When you don’t KNOW someone, you will relate what you hear to your own understanding but not the meaning of that individual. I, myself, use to do this with God constantly.  I would read a verse and analyze it according to what I would mean if I had said that. But, once I began to KNOW God through his word, I related what he said; first, to who he is and then, His meaning - not mine. This impacted my relationship in such a magnificent way because scriptures that use to not make sense suddenly became clear because I KNOW Jesus.  I also know my interpretation of the scripture couldn’t possibly be right because it didn’t line up with who HE is.
        This, just as any other relationship, was a process. It’s not hard to know Him; he reveals himself throughout the whole Bible. However, the good news is that, although it’s a great thing to do, you do not have to read the Bible Genesis to Revelation before you KNOW Him. There are key verses and principals that I base my relationship of knowing God through and the Lord has laid on my heart to share some with you. However, understand that I could tell you how incredible a movie is or Disney World is, but until you go and experience it for yourself, you will never know for yourself.

           Many people tend to make God very difficult to understand and mysterious. But in Matthew 13:11 Jesus said, “Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given.” God is only mysterious to the world. We, as Christians should know him and reveal him to the world. Therefore, I know God on a very simple level, I know God is Love; or Agape - complete unconditional love.  I know God is good and compassionate and if I don’t see that in a verse I’m reading, then it’s me who is misunderstanding God’s meaning or motive.
3 John 1:2 says ^2”Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.”
Verse 4 continues:
^4”I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth.”
 When I see these verses, I see the simple goodness of our Loving God:
(1)        I see that God desires at all times for me to be prosperous and healed.
(2)        I see that it is not God who puts sickness and disease on someone and takes away their prosperity.  How foolish would it be to assume the same God that desires prosperity and health in our life to be the same God that takes it away from us? Right now, I desire for my brother to see his prosperity manifested.  Now, why would I go to his work and put in complaint after complaint with the manager and tell him all my brother’s shortcomings?  Then, when he gets fired say, “You’ll thank me later, Houston; you weren’t ready.   I desired your prosperity more than you; but as much as it hurts me, it’s best you don’t have that abundance right now.”  
            Another example would be when, as we are praying and desiring the healing for someone, somehow we believe that God isn’t as good and loving as us. That possibly he has a purpose for them in their wheelchair because they are better off sharing God’s love under those conditions rather than standing up and proclaiming their healing for Christ. Even furthermore, if they should die, it’s because God “needed them” in Heaven because he can’t handle it up there by himself, maybe things are getting a little out of hand.
            I’m telling you – God’s desire for our health and prosperity is greater than ours.
(3)        I see a good God who gave man free will and although I can’t explain completely why people are sick (even though I have a pretty good idea) or why Christians are on Welfare, I know it’s not God.  That is not his desire.  Man messed up in the Garden of Eden, not God.   He's not the one who ate the forbidden fruit.
(4)        I also know God is excited and has joy when I’m walking in truth, because if I KNOW the truth, I KNOW him and if I KNOW him, I discover he is Love.  His Grace is sufficient and much, much more. The more I begin to KNOW God, the more I want to KNOW him.  He only gets better and better.
      You see, God’s love and goodness are unreal. Whenever I read something, I read it with the mindset, “When I read this, I’ll read it with the most Love, the most Grace, the best Goodness and the most Peace; then multiply that by 100 and realize I’m not even denting the surface of God’s Goodness and Love.”
3 John 1:11 says
 ^11”Beloved, follow not that which is evil, but that which is good. He that doeth good is of God: but he that doeth evil hath not seen God.”
I’m pretty sure God has seen himself. He is a Good God and every good gift come from him.  A house divided against itself cannot stand.  Therefore, if God is good, that’s all he is.  He isn’t evil as well.
      It’s to my knowledge that John KNEW God pretty well.  He was still man, but he had great KNOWLEDGE of Christ. So, it’s wise to discover what John knew of him. God revealed to me through 1 John many things that we know of God and that we know about ourselves as Christians and who we are. I love sharing what God has revealed to me, but there are times when you should allow the Holy Spirit to minister to you through the verses and not me.  These verses speak for themselves.

1 John 2:29  If ye know that he is righteous, ye know that every one that doeth righteousness is born of him.”

1 John 3:5     ^”And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin.”

1 John 3:24  ^“And he that keepeth his commandments dwelleth in him, and he in him. And hereby we know that he abideth in us, by the Spirit which he hath given us.”

 1 John 4:13  “Hereby know we that we dwell in him, and he in us, because he hath given us of his Spirit.”

 1 John 4:16  “And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him.”
 1 John 5:13  “These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.  ¹⁴And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us:  ¹⁵And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him.”

1 John 5:18  “We know that whosoever is born of God sinneth not; but he that is begotten of God keepeth himself, and that wicked one toucheth him not.”

1 John 5:19  “And we know that we are of God, and the whole world lieth in wickedness.”

1 John 5:20  “And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life.”

1 John 2:20   “But ye have an unction from the Holy One, and ye know all things.”

God truly is incredible and I can promise you’ll never be sorry for KNOWING him. You don’t have to quit your job and your life and just read the Bible; you just simply have to open yourself up and allow the Holy Spirit to reveal himself to you. Remember, he is a mystery to the world, but not to you or me.
I love you.  God bless and may His grace and peace be multiplied to you through the KNOWLEDGE of God, and of Jesus our Lord.

The Beauty In Knowing GOD

           I walk in my room I shut the door turn on some hillsong praise and worship then i begin to dive into the word and I read across a scripture making God sound like Rambo coming to destroy the earth. I take a look see im in the New testament witht eh new covenant all sins and wrath upon Jesus no longer about me but it sure sounded like it. But I have bagan to know God and My God is LOVE therefore i must be reading it wrong, with a simple, "God please show me your love in this scripture and what you truly meant." Within a few minutes of soaking in Gods LOve i read it again, ahhhh there it is, it turns out this same scripture that seems loveless and condemning has more Love behind it then we can begin to realize. Thats the beauty in Knowing God.

        You know God isnt hard to figure out he says he is Love. And if we cant figure him out he gave us a hint called the bible and i hope you sense the sarcasm because the bible is like having the key to everything youll ever need in life and how to be strong in this world. I like to look at the bible as a book of seeds that I plant in my life im like a very prosperous farmer I plant righteousness, prosperity, healing, peace, Joy, ministering to others . Im just sowing and sowing and sowing in to my life. And these seeds are beggining to not just sprout but flourish and thrive and I dont by any means have all my ducks in a row but eh ones i do have in line are pretty straight. Were so impatient we wanna read a scripture and bame look I raised them from the dead. But if we begin to plant the seeds now and water them and take care of them in not to long your gonna have some pretty fancy fruit in your Garden.
         I heard a long time ago that theres a certain amount of money you can put in a savings account around 20 dollars a week for 20 years and in savings account and through interest you can have a million dollars, when i heard this i thought thats nothing i make that in a hour someitmes delivering Pizza. But the point is you have to begin to sow and sow and sow and then the abundance comes in a very short 20 years. It was very little money only 20$ not 1,000 but over time just a little bit continually insilled into your spiritual account will give you a million dollars. Now imagine if you were puttin in 200$ how much faster it would grow. Now dont quote me on this im sure im not exact but you see my point.
          A farmer doesnt wait the day before a harvest to plant his seed. A good Farmer anyway. Romans 10:17 says this, 
¹⁷So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
I use to believe that like a magic formula the more I was reading my bible my faith was growing and growing. And Then God revealed the fact that i was reading, thats just works, it was that I was beggining to know God on a personal level. Faith is just Trust in the goodness of God, how can you trust someone if you dont really know them. I know theres only a few people i entirely trust in the natural and those people are the people that i truly know. For my personal life there is principal verses i stand on that if how i perceive something doesnt line up with it then chances are im not perceiving it right or its just simply wrong, one verse is James 1:17
¹⁷Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.

         This is an incredible verse because it very simple God good Devil BAd, and James says there is no variableness so God doesnt change or vary he is constantly at all times good. James 3:11 says
Can both fresh water and salt water flow from the same spring? [NIV]. So if God is everything good comes from God then bad stuff doesnt come from God it must come from a completely different source so its either satan or ourselves but not God amen![James 1:13]Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man:
        In discovering God i have discovered his Love because he is Love, we learned that all through 1 John 4. We need to understand that God is always for us, and who can be against us then , its his will that your always healed always prosperous, always in perfect peace and so much more. But we may know it but we dont KNOW it until we discover his uncoditional Love through his word then it becomes reality to our SOUL AND SPIRIT and we can have TRUST in the GOODNESS OF GOD.

          This was simply an introduction to knowing God i Hope it Got you excited because the next teaching will be on discovering Gods will for our lifes and giving you great scriptures to stand on in Ephesians and 1 JOhn and Hebrews and just all over the Love of God is his word we just have to begin to KNOW it for ourselves. Next lesson I will give you insight to what JOhn and Paul knew and that the prayed we would know, and a very Important and simple KEY to knowing GOD best.

* KJV EMPHASIS MINE

THis is something that God layed on my heart i simply looked up all the times it said I am, and didnt even get through a quarter of them by the time I found all these. Leave me a comment of your favorite I AM verse in the bible so i can update it and add it to the list. Your comments and support speak to me more then you know. IT declares to me the truth in Gods work through me and always sets me on fire. I recently got the following email from someone and it  really really meant a lot to me. 

 Just wanted to say I've enjoyed reading your blogs and I am telling others about it as well. Keep it up. God bless.

I cant tell you how much that simple email ministered to me and built me up. Be sure if you know a great I AM verse to drop me an email or comment. God bless you all I love you and be blessed to be a blessing.

1 John 4 Part III (Hindrances of Gods love through you)

        This is a continuation of other postings titled 1 John 4 part 1 and 1 John 4 part II. If you have not read the other two postings i would encourage you to do so, so you know where we are at in Gods Love.

        There is one commandment in the new testament that I have found, that is 1 John 4:21
 ²¹And this commandment have we from him, That he who loveth God love his brother also.

and  also Galatians 5:14 says,
¹⁴For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

     Now some of you I know are thinking to yourself you got off easy because you dont have a brother and you dont live next to anybody so this doesnt apply to you. Well I think we all understand that this term neighbor and brother is a much wider scope then a family member or the family next store. But the blessing in these two verses is that God never gives us a task he didnt already equip us for. We are complete in HIM amen ( col 2:10).

    Now God wants me to LOVE hes given me the LOVE to love, so how come im not loving? is my lover broke? No because God is your LOVE but if you can recall God asked us to

 ⁸Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give (Matthew 10:8). He asked us to lay our hands on the sick and they shall recover (Mark 16:18). He also said whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith (Mark 11:23). And again if God asked us to do something or told us we could He has already provided and equiped us. The healing power and ability to mkove mountains and raise dead is inside of us. But God has blessed us with a free will. We have the healing power of God on the inside of us I can show you in the bible and i Have seen absolutely great miracles in my lifes and others but I have not seen 100% manifestation, WHY? I dont completely understand it there are many things I do know such as unbelief, I know we have to take our authority, and I know my faith lies with Jesus Christ and not of my own works, so I havent arrived but I have left. But just the same as God has given us Love and provided the ability for us to Love all we have to do is allow it to operate through us, we have a free will to choose to Love and Not to Love. Thats why the Lord asked us or commanded us to Love because its not an automatic thing because he has left it up to us.

      But in a world in such need of Love I think its so important the we as Christians display Gods Love at all times. The greatest gift was human ability to Love, every person has the desire to be loved and want to love despite what some may say, because thats the way we were created, so the world seeks to fulfill it with money, sex, drugs, cars and still at the end of the day there desire is not fulfilled. People I couldnt imagine one day without the fulfillment of Gods love, can you imagine how the lost must feel. When the World see's Gods Love in you they will see something they have never seen before true Love and they will seek to discover how to obtain such a fulfilling Love, but first we have to show the World Gods love, and sadly more christians are runnning people off the road, being rude to their waitress, easily letting there emotions tear down others. So God has layed on my heart to unveil some of these hindrances to Displaying Gods Love through you.

  (1)   In 1 John 4:1-6 we are warned of false teachers and prophets and men of God. Verse 1 says
¹Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.

Then verse 7-21 is completely about Gods complete and amazing Love and how his LOve dwells in us and we in HIM. It is to my understanding that John was warning us of ministers of the "gospel" whose teachings did not display a similar message of the complete love of God. So to me that is by far the number one hindrance to displaying Gods love, we only Love because he first loved us ( verse 19). How are we to display Gods Love if we dont even Know Gods love for ourselves. Ignorance of Gods Love will easily inable us to show the world his love.

   (2) Galatians 5:16 says  ¹⁶This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.

When you hear lust of the flesh you think of the obvious ones, sexual lust, money, adultery, murder, and drunkiness, but the lust of the flesh include hatred, strife, unforgiveness. That is why in verse 20-21 say

²⁰If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen?

 ²¹And this commandment have we from him, That he who loveth God love his brother also.

Because Hate is a lust of the flesh and will confuse our spirit. We are now new creatures in christ and Full of the Love of God just completely Loving creatures and hatred and love should not dwell among eachother they are darkness and light so it hindures are ability to display love because we are now dealoing in the flesh. Because I want you to remeber something this is on Hinduring Gods love through you not Gods Love, Gods Love is complete and Complete in you because he is the same today and Always. It would almost be like this imagine if you had a safety deposit box filled with millions of dollars you had the key you had everything you were needed, in fact you had it sitting right in front of you all you have to do is open it and be set for life but an employee at the bank makes a rude comment towards you so you pull the key out of the box and walk over and give them a peace of your mind and never open that box full of money, instead of opening the box inspite of the comment and saying you know what Ive been blessed with so much I have more then enough to last me my family and there family here you go take a few million God bless you and changing your life forever. I know this story seems a bit foolish in the natural but christians do it everyday when they hoard up there love and mask it with hatred.

           These two are the main two that God has revealed to me but I promise if i receive a word from the Lord regarding this issue I will be Quick to update the Post. But of main in importance is not of works but remain in Gods presence at all times remind yourself daily of the Love of God for he is Love and herin is our love made perfect. We are still on this earth and will by no means ever be perfect and our flesh will always come against our love, but praise God its not us but Christ within and he has already provided more then enough. Allow Gods Love to flow through you today and change someones life. And know that God Loves you and so do I god bless you all.

1 John 4 Part II

     Do not allow YOUR earthly circumstances keep you from receiving from the Lord today, Remember its not about you its about HIM, taste and see the Lord is good today, yesterday, and forever AMEN!!!!.


     ¹⁸There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.


This verse has been on my heart for years. Its one I knew and could quote but I could never fully understand it. When I read this for a while I thought maybe it applied to marriage, that if you had doubts of your spouse it wasnt love because love cast fear out. Then i thought maybe if people feared anything they werent made perfect in Gods love, somehow they were hindering it with sin in there life. I played many scenarios in my head of what this verse might mean, so a light went off and i thought I know How bout I ask the Lord the man who inspired that verse maybe just maybe he will know.

     He recently led me to the message Bible to help me understand it. Now i dont agree with everythig in the message bible because it was written by man, so obviously its not perfect in everything it says just as I am not perfect in everything I write but I belive its an awesome tool that if it Lines up with the original word of God and the Holy Spirit quickens you its an awesome tool in your understanding. Verse 17 and part of 18 say this
^17-18God is love. When we take up permanent residence in a life of love, we live in God and God lives in us. This way, love has the run of the house, becomes at home and mature in us, so that we're free of worry on Judgment Day—our standing in the world is identical with Christ's. There is no room in love for fear. Well-formed love banishes fear.

WOW if you didnt read this and get excited I want you to pray and ask the Lord to reveal it to you and read this again. My eyes were finally opened to the beauty of this verse. If the verse your reading doesnt display Gods incredible LOVE and Grace your probably not reading it right. This verse was never meant as a correction that if we fear then shape up get in line and start LOVING PERFECTLY. The two previous verses the end of verse 16 and beginning of 17 say this.

16...God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him.
 ¹⁷Herein is our love made perfect,
There is only one perfect Love and that is GOD. When oil is poured in a cup then followed by water the oil and the water will never mix in fact if the water continues to flow into the cup the oil will eventually flow out of the cup and you will be left with nothing but a clean glass of water. God is our perfect Love. I love how it says our standing in the world is identical with Christ's. Gods our perfect Love for us and in him is no room for fear.
          If your not getting excited let me explain it to you like this, ive never ever once worried that My earthly father would provide for me care for me and Love me. Because he is my dad and LOves me enough to provide care for me and wipe away any fear of monsters in my room. True story when i was only about five a local gang yelled at me and my mom while walking close to the street. MY dad took me drove around until he found this Gang in their convertable and did the Godly thing and told them if they ever said a word to us again he would kill them. Well there was probably 7 or 8 of them but they all apologized to me and I was never afraid cause i was with my dad and i knew everything was alright he wouldnt let nothing happen to me.
        But how much more does our father which is in heaven LOVE US and will provide for us and protect us and wont let nothing happen to us. When you become born again God dwells in you and theres no place for fear. Any fear you may have today its as simple as this YOU have the perfected love of GOD inside and as your Daddy he wouldnt let anyting happen to one of his little ones dont focus on the earthly circumstances focus on his LOVE and i promise you cant go wrong cause he will never let you down.

1 John 4 Part 1

I'd like to start off today with a quick testimony. After I finished my writing on the simplicity of making an impact i headed straight to work where I deliver Pizza. The first house I delivered to a young girl came to the door and said Im sorry my mom would come to the door but she is Injured, i thought it was a bit strange she told me because often kids come to the door for their parents, but immediately the love of God came over me and said Pray for her. Im not by any means the perfect christian and began to head back to my car and said Lord I have to get back to work im on a scheduled time, because obviously God doesnt already know that lol, BUt he said you have her number call her. So i gathered myself and called and I said Hello this is Dalton calling from dominoes I just delivered pizza to you and this might seem strange to you i dont know if you are a christian or not but the Lord has instructed me to pray for you and I heard her telling the kids, " Its the pizza delivery guy, he wants to pray for us." Then she said to me yes we are christians. I said praise God, and the lord quickened me that it was her back and asked mam you have a physical injury, is it your back or??? and she said Its my back I threw it out at work and workmans comp isnt coming through so we are struggling. SO i prayed for her and commanded her back to be healed and prayed for prosperity as well and I began to pray for workmans Comp to come through but if she is healed she didnt need it so i prayed for prosperity. I later found out her friends were praying for her that someone would be sent her way. And praise God i was that man. Its incredible the impact we :can make if its done in love. Gods always there and always for us, so who can be against us (Romans 8:31). God can and will use anyone who will allow him where they are at, even a pizza delivery guy.



          Recently God has layed on my heart to reveal his Love. And through revealing his Love i have been revealed to it. But when I first started hearing about Gods Love and how we as christians are to portray his Love at all times, i thought to myself well Dalton you got a longgggggg way to go before you reach that kind of super christian ability. But as a called man of God i strived to do MY best to gain this Love and give it to others, and I got pretty good at it on the outside but MY best isnt Gods best Gods best isnt a Love we work for Gods best is giving something we had given to us, being blessed and blessing others. And recently I gave up my own efforts and allowed God to show me his Love was already in me all I had to do was allow it to flow out of me.
         The Love of God truly began to flow through me when i realized it wasnt my Love for God but his Love for me.
1 John 4:10
               ¹⁰Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.

1John 4:19
                ¹⁹We love him, because he first loved us.

You see i applied this to my life in any other aspect of the Gospel, were saved by grace through faith, and that not of your selves: it is a gift from God: ( Ephesians 2:8). God is a Giver and he has made everything ours through christ, we dont have to do anything except accept it. But from some reason I assumed it was my responsibilty to obtain this Godly Love on my own, because there is a a worldly Love it must be something done by my works, I just had to praise God a few hours a day and be extremely happy and the next time someone offended me I could turn the cheek cause Im friends with God you cant hurt me. Thats not Love thats boasting in your own efforts.
1 JOhn 4:7 says
                ⁷Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God.
   When i heard this verse I figured i hit two out of three, i Knew God and was Born of Him, but the love wasnt there. BUt then verse 8 goes on to say.
                ⁸He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.

When i first heared this i thought who is this John guy telling me I dont know God. And i realized at first glance this verse might seem condemning, but nto me it was the verse that set me free.  I said God but I know you. And he said exactly. Verse 15-16 says.
¹⁵Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God.
 ¹⁶And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him.

Praise the Lord I already Got it!!!!!!! Its this simple I confessed Jesus is the son of God, therefore he dwelleth in me, and I in God, and if God is Love and he dwells in me then the perfected Love of God dwells in me. Amen

Once i found this out i turned it loose. It was never me trying to obtain it, simply because God loved me I had Gods love not because I loved him. I discovered true love for the first time in Christ and have been only discovering more and more the LOve I already have. The christian life is finding out what you already got not trying to get it.

The Lord has instructed me that my next writing 1 JOhn 4 part 2 of many to come will be on verse 18
¹⁸There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.
And then either that one or the next will be on  1 John 4 how we Quenchs Gods love through us. So im really excited.
Hey God bless you all, youve got Gods love in you now be blessed to be a blessing.

The Simplicity of Making an Impact

1 John 3:1 (King James Version)

1 John 3

 ¹Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not.

NOw this is incredible we are the sons or for you ladies Daughters of GOD. Its very easy to hear a statement like this and perceive it with a earthly mind and down play it. But this statement is better then you can even wrap your mind around. The kind of favor we have, a son is a heir a receiver of inheritance not based on his actions or works but simply because of his birthright. There is so much to be takin from this verse but i believe the Lord wants me to adress the topic of the simplicity of making an impact.
      I think that it is so awesome to see people on fire for the Lord. Its so cool to see what the Lord can do in a person, set free, prosper, healed, Loved,Peace, Happiness, Joy and so much more. But satan I believe one of his greatest weapons is taking something that is a miracle and manipulating it and twisting it as an attack to come against that person. One of the most common things I see is condemnation or guilt for being a simple christian and not making a big enough impact in the world. This is such an evil Lie. Im here to tell you today that if you are my brother or sister in christ God is pleased with you beyond your understanding, because its not based on you its based on  Jesus Christ, the best and most perfect example of a Christian. Satan uses a technique i like to call holding the carrot in front of the donkey. Because I can tell you Satan will never stop bringing condemnation no matter how many people you are reaching. In fact its my opinion the more you build your rerlationship with the Lord the harder satan brings condemnation of being less then what you should be. There has been times in my life where I was barely in the Word and condemned because I knew God had a calling on my life and I felt like I wasnt qualified, But God hasnt had anyone qualified working for him yet. And there has been times that i have spent hours in the word and still been condemned because i wasted  hour of free time at the gym. You cant do anything to make God Love you more or make him love you less. And let me tell you this YOU CANT FAIL GOD. Your his Son and your inheritance isnt based on performance so how can you fail him.
    1 John 3:9
⁹Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.

Praise God I have a covenant with God almighty in which I am Born of God and cannot sin.

     Another thing that people do is begin to compare themselves to other people. If I compare myself to Andrew wommack I am a Nobody but if Andrew compares himself to Jesus he is a Nobody you can never reach a place that your good enough or your works bless God. Our confidence isnt in ourselves but in GOd.
1 JOhn 3: 20-21
²⁰For if our heart condemn us, God is greater than our heart, and knoweth all things.
 ²¹Beloved, if our heart condemn us not, then have we confidence toward God.

You dont have to be a preacher to 50,000 people, you simply have to be a light unto the world, with your life be a blessing at all times. Theres people Andrew Wommack and Joseph prince will never reach but you will. IF your a stay at home mom be a light at the store and especially be a light to your children.
1 JOhn 3:18 says
¹⁸My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth.
You know what i believe this is saying is talk is cheap the world can seee right through you, words of Love are empty with out a heart a Love of God through you to back it up. You know once you know the Love of God its almost impossible to not be a light its to good not to Glow with Joy happiness peace. Youll see changes in your life, your relationships, finances, health, and much more and so will the world they will see your fruit which you bear. It doesnt matter if your a preacher or student or employee or homless It doesnt matter to God he will use you right where you are, you know a simple loving smile is starting to become shocking to the world, a simple phone call your in my prayers, a simple paying for someones lunch can bless someone more then you would ever know. And just because the person doesnt break down cry and tell you you changed their lives doesnt mean that you didnt plant a seed and make an impact.  God abides in us, by the spirit which he hath given us ( 1 John 3:24), so where you go so does the Holy spirit. Lets make an impact and lets start with something as simple as LOVE.

Loving God

Ephesians 3:17-19 (King James Version)
 17That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love,
 18May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height;
 19And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.
      
       As the Body of Christ we must be grounded in the Love of our Lord and to discover the Love of God is an adventure that will last forever. The Love of God passeth our knowledge. I believe no one will ever know the fullness of God's love until we enter into his Kingdom.Through this verse is revealed the importance of being grounded and rooted in the love of God, to know the Love of Christ is to be filled with the fullness of God. It's very easy to seek the bi-products of God's Love to us, such as healing and prosperity and all the wonderful gifts God so loves and enjoys giving to us, that we miss out on the best relationship we could ever have. I always encourage anyone I talk to to just get to know the lord, psalms 34:8 says  taste and see that the Lord is good. Blessed is the man that trusteth in him (KJV). God doesn't need us to defend his Love, lead someone simply to the love of God, let them taste it themselves. I can tell someone how great Momma's potato salad is, but until they taste and see for their self they will never know what heavenly potato salad they are missing. Jude 1:21 (NIV) says, keep yourself in God's love as you wait for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to bring you to eternal life. But how am I able to tell someone how great Momma's potato salad is if I've never eaten it myself? Momma has cooked it, it is made, everyone tells me how good it is, it sounds good, smells good, looks good, but I personally have no idea how good it is until I grab a spoon out of the drawer dip it into that potato salad and shove a big heaping spoonful of heaven in my mouth. Now that I've tasted it I'm calling all my friends telling them, "Come over to my house Momma made her potato salad, it's incredible, come get some of it for yourself". You see it's important that we know the love of God for ourselves. We can hear about it all day, but until we've discovered it for ourselves we truly don't know. The only way we can spread the gospel is through the love of God. It's the only thing the world cannot attempt to counterfeit, Godly love. Plenty of people believe in something 100% and will try to persuade you to believe like them but it is never done in complete Godly love, because it can't be, the only group of people that have been blessed with the ability to show agape love is the Christians. We're the only ones with that ability and we only love Him because he first loved us, amen. (1 John 4:19 KJV). A major thing separating us from the world is God's love through us, and when we preach the gospel this must be our heart rather than, "I'm right, you're wrong, you're going to Hell, and I'm not". Thats not how Jesus did it and Jesus is the sole expression of God (Hebrews 1:3). For God so LOVED the world that he gave his only begotten son (john 3:16). Nothing can separate us from the love of God.
Romans 8:35-39 (King James Version)
 35Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
 36As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.
 37Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.
 38For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,
 39Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Nothing can separate us from the love of Jesus Christ, amen. Nothing the world can say or do, or nothing we can say or do, because God's love is in Christ Jesus, not in our works, but in Christ and his finished work (verse 39). In verse 35 this word love literally means, "The attitude of God towards his son", love not drawn out by any excellency in it's object. Praise God! his love isn't based on anything i have done or can do, it's love not drawn out by my excellency, but by Christs excellency, amen. I get the same love God gives Jesus for nothing at all. God's Love has made us more then conquerors, I don't know about you but being more than a conqueror sounds pretty good. I didn't even have to fight but I get to enjoy all the spoils and riches. In verse 37 this love means, "Love in its perfect participle form". Now that's awesome, God is the only one with perfect love, and it's ours to have, and we can't be separated from it. Man being blessed with the love of God just makes you want to pour it out to the world, amen. God's Love is endless and eternal, and Incredible to discover. I encourage you today to taste and see that the LORD IS GOOD.
