Spiritual Growth Check~

-


Prayer and fasting is a personal and intimate growth process that requires devout labor. Accepting Christ as Lord is often chosen as a fire escape instead of a life's journey. Sometimes people accept Christ to belong to a group of people for personal support. Others become a Christian to maintain family tradition. What was your motivation? If you are not being moved to seek the deeper things of God, as a deer pants for fresh water (Psalms 42:1"As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God".), you may need to take inventory of your spiritual position and condition. The Holy Spirit dwelling naturally results in a hunger and thirst for spiritual growth!

  I come to exhort you by the mighty hand of God to go on with the Lord. Spirit speaking- "A lot of people are getting discouraged because they are looking at how big their situations or circumstances are instead of looking at what a mighty God we serve. He says that you have overestimated the enemy in your life." The enemy of your soul whole agenda is to destroy the plan of God that is concernin g your life. He knows that he can't get directly to God so he figures why not use God's people? He has no power over you; DON'T GIVE IN AND DON'T GIVE UP!! At this crucial point, there is no turning back, you've come to far to turn around now. Remember, your steps are ordered by God- follow in them. I beseech you to take up your cross and Follow Christ. I know this is an old message but the Spirit of the Lord said to "remind them again". Don't allow anyone to come in and shake you off the path God has predestined for you! For the ho

Good Morning Family, I always wondered why most Ministers would sight Psalm 23 during a funeral or at the grave site. Psalm 23 is not for the DEAD its for the LIVING! Let me explain/breakdown and share some revelation with you. Verse 4 says "Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me" The VALLEY OF THE SHADOW OF DEATH is our tragic/horrific hardest times of our walk(trials/tribulation/testing). I WILL FEAR NO EVIL - whatever man/devil/enemies try to do to me or lay tongue on me in negative way I will not allow it to a hold me hostage. Here's the PROMISE - FOR THOU ART WITH ME: THY ROD AND THY STAFF THEY COMFORT ME!! When no one has your back, when no one what's to be bothered with you, when no one give 2 cents about you - HE REAMINS FAITHFUL TO US EVEN WHEN WE'RE NOT! Let's us remember that Jehovah Nissi is with us on each step He orders in our lives. He will sh

We know that the devil comes to exploit weaknesses and if you leave cracks and crevices open, he will squeeze his way in without notification.  His job is to steal, kill and destroy the plan of God that is predestined for your life.  He is very conniving and very deceptive in his approach and we as believers must make sure that we guarded with the whole armor of God at all times.  In this day, he is coming stronger with more force but he only possesses the power that you give him.  If you do not entertain him or his little friends, then he won't have any power to overtake you. Deuteronomy 28:7 says "The LORD shall cause thine enemies that rise up against thee to be smitten before thy face: they shall come out against thee one way, and flee before thee seven ways." The devil has already lost but he is trying to take as many with him as he can, apparently just to hurt God. And however much the devil succeeds in doing this, God hurts -- like a parent does over losing a
