Everybody ain't able But YOU, Gotta go Forth!!

Have you ever come across a brother or sister in your church or elsewhere That is saved and has been for years but there true potential in Christ is hidden?

Sometimes, you say to yourself " Lord, if they would just get it." "If they can just catch hold of the word."

So, you reach out you make an attempt to reach them according to the word.

So, what did I just say, did you catch it?? (They have been saved for years) They are nearly  in the same condition they were when they started.

That brother or sisters light is so hidden that they can't find it.

They have let the cares of this world be that bushel over their light. Their Hearing is Dull and Their light is dim

 If you have a Heart for God's people then, yes you will find yourself wanting to Restore your Brother/ Sister in the knowledge of the Truth.

I want to share this with you. Everybody ain't able!

Excuse my grammar, I just want to make this plain because there are some that no matter what you do are not going to change they are a stumbling block to themselves and you will find that out in trying to escort this person into revelation and restoration through the Holy Spirit.

Your Truth is this:  when you see that this person wants to stay stuck in the mud you can't subject yourself to missing out on what God has for you; because you are trying to help them. "You Gotta go Forth, no matter what do not allow this to hinder you - It can if you are not careful

14And if anyone will not welcome you or heed your words, shake the dust off your feet when you leave that home or town. 15Truly I tell you, it will be more bearable for Sodom and Gomorrah on the day of judgment than for that town.… Matthew 10: 14, 15

The light can't be seen if it's hid.

…14You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. 15 Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a basket. Instead, they set it on a lampstand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. 16 In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.… Matthew 5:15

 

And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works: Hebrews 10:24

33No one lights a lamp and puts it in a cellar or under a basket. Instead, he sets it on a lampstand, so those who enter can see the light. 34Your eye is the lamp of your body. When your vision is clear, your whole body also is full of light. But when it is poor, your body is full of darkness.… Luke 11:33,34

WALKING IN EXCELLENCE

Something, that dropped in my Spirit yesterday, was something our Prophet was teaching us months ago that came back to my remembrance. He was teaching about who we are in Christ and not only knowing who we are but, that we should also look the part.

What I took from that as it came back to my remembrance, is that we should,  Walk in Excellence.

We have an inheritance, in Christ we are Princes and Princesses and we represent Christ therefore, our attitude and appearance should be as such. We represent the Kingdom of God that is in us. We can go around looking like the World, No because we are a peculiar people.

You would never see Queen Elizabeth in Booty shorts in her younger days, nor Prince William in a Mohawk leather jacket  without a shirt even their children they are being groomed for Excellence!

Our attitude should be not of arrogance, that is not what I am saying, but do not let anyone run you or Run over you and we should not take the advice of the world we have the word of God but, that the world should follow us. No one's treatment of you should be any Less, than that of a CHILD OF THE KING!!!

Breakdown:

If you are a "Brand." You have a business and so forth you are not going to just let someone come along adding there input or there two- cents into this brand you have built… You want to be represented in and with Excellence; There is a way that you want things done, A certain way you want things to look and you will not (Should not) settled for the mediocre or less. WHY??? Because, your name is on it!!  If someone does anything for you make sure it has your stamp of Approval, the smallest things can affect your brand tremendously. Don't do anything 50% Excellence means your Best! Don't let anyone Mis-Represent your Vision.

Colossians 3:23-24(AMP)

23 Whatever you do [whatever your task may be], work from the soul [that is, put in your very best effort], as [something done] for the Lord and not for men, 24 knowing [with all certainty] that it is from the Lord [not from men] that you will receive the inheritance which is your [greatest] reward. It is the Lord Christ whom you [actually] serve.

 

How we represent Christ should be as such,

Walk the Walk,

Talk the Talk and

Look the Part.

Someone may ask you, If God is so Good Why do you look like you just rolled out of Bed, you look depressed, you never smile? Why did you let him/her talk to you crazy? You are a Christian but you look like me…Like you dressed for the club your dress is as short and tight as mine.

Walk in Excellence and meet your purpose half-way because its coming.

1 Corinthians 15:58 (AMP)

58 Therefore, my beloved brothers and sisters, be steadfast, immovable, always excelling in the work of the Lord [always doing your best and doing more than is needed], being continually aware that your labor [even to the point of exhaustion] in the Lord is not futile nor wasted [it is never without purpose].

CARRY YOURSELF IN A WAY; Where people are Forced to RESPECT your Worth!

You are Lost and, You don't even Know it!!

 YOU seem to keep running into the same wall, and you are wondering why things won't change. When, you say no to accepting God, When you resist doing what God says, you form a callus around your heart and it becomes hard (Hard -Hearted).

This condition is formed over time and over consistent resistance, and refusal to accept Gods Call and his Love. As offered through, The word of God in Church and Through those God has sent to speak Life into you. The arms of God are open wide, yet, your refusal causes the callus around your heart to become more hardened more and more and soon you will not have any feeling at all (paralyzed in your mess) and will be unable to feel God's love.

(In the natural, any callus that gets to that extreme may/will need to be surgically removed) I do not know what Satan has entered into your mind to cause you to reject his Love but I can just imagine...but if no-one has told you... You cannot trust a word he says, THE DEVIL IS A LIAR!! HE IS A DECEIVER!!

YOU do not realize the Wiles of Satan are set up in this world to Entice you to Stay exactly where you are and in the condition you are in. This is why things are not changing and they won't change. Those who have money, Clout and seem to have Life all together there is a Price to be paid you can be certain. When your Blessings do not come from God (I DO NOT CARE WHO YOU ARE) You will pay a high-price! Continue to live your life as a Fool De-fraud yourself and surely, there is a PIT waiting for you! You have free-will the choice is up to you, I Pray that you make the right one.I Love you but You have not known Love until you have Known the Love of GOD and I Pray, that GOD will cause the scales over your eyes to fall off in order to allow YOU to see the Truth!! I Declare the Scales fall off In the Name of Jesus.                

ACTS 9:17

So Ananias went to the house, and when he arrived, he placed his hands on Saul. “Brother Saul,” he said, “the Lord Jesus, who appeared to you on the road as you were coming here, has sent me so that you may see again and be filled with the Holy Spirit.” 18 At that instant, something like scales fell from Saul’s eyes, and his sight was restored. He got up and was baptized..."You can't know, which way to go if you have blinders on. Please, Know that men and Women of God are Praying for you!! 

A PRAYER FOR TODAY

You can Run but, You Can't Hide!!

Many of us can probably say, we have been there, In one form or another.  Like, Moses we may have said, I can't speak; Like, Jeremiah who said, I am too young I can't speak but, How many of us are out Like, Jonah? Running. Uh, uh no not me, Lord!

READING: The Book of Jonah

Has God ever asked, you to do something, speak to someone, encourage someone and you felt like nah, that's just me? Asked, you to say something in Church? You say, They won't believe me,  I am scared to speak in front of people. I can't do that. Has anyone ever told you - you are called into the ministry/ have a calling on your life. Did you stop going to church altogether. You are not alone many of us have struggled with dis-obedience from  God's calling or simply telling us to speak to someone, give a certain offering, pray for someone or go somewhere.

I will say this… "YOU CAN RUN, BUT YOU CAN'T HIDE!"

God does not take no for an answer, neither is there an excuse to justify our saying , no. Jonah by running from God stepped out of the will of God and out of fellowship with God, due to his disobedience. 

 I remember, the first time God told me to do something publicly, I was in my late 20's. I was shaking in my boots, "Oh, Lawd" and it was a big church not mega but big. I looked around at all those people and the first thing the devil said, in my ear was they are not going to believe you but he didn't have to say, anything I was just scared…So, I sat there. That thing, and I still remember word for word it stuck with me day after day, week after week; I could not rest, Uh I could not shake it, uh. I saw my  Pastor at the time outside watering the grass at the church and I told myself "okay, I'm going to do it." I walked, over to him and told him what the Lord, told me to say. He said, "I receive it!" I walked down the street so proud of myself , Happy, that I obeyed the Lord; I could have skipped home and at that very moment the Lord said, that is Not, how I told you to do it. My whole countenance fell and so did my head. That was the worse feeling to have disappointed God.

I Thank God, for his mercy and his Grace for he is a God of second chances. He truly knows your heart just do not use, misuse or abuse his Grace. Again, he knows your heart. The Lord grows and stretches us outside of our comfort zone. He is full aware of where we are when, we feel incapable, un-worthy, nervous, anxious, and scared to do those things he has called  us to do.

But, He knows the plans he has for us    . Regardless, of how we feel, we MUST be OBEDIENT! Feelings do not move God but, Faith does! Jonah, Ran from God he went through all that and still didn't get away from what God purposed for him. Running did not void him of doing what God said, to do. "What God has for you is for you!

 

YOU CAN RUN, BUT YOU CAN'T HIDE!

 Acknowledge, your faults ask God, to forgive you for being dis-obedient. Get it right from here on and be OBEDIENT is better than Sacrifice. What you feel Incapable or Disabled to do… God, has already, Enabled You!

WHERE'S THAT FIGHTER IN YOU?!

Have you tried Letting the Enemy be your Foot Stool?

Galatians 5:7

              Ye did run well; who did hinder you that ye should not obey the truth?

It is YOU!

Instead of resisting the devil, many of us are entertaining him. How, you ask?

We entertain him by giving credence to those seemly, little thought processes that creep into our mind either out of our hectic work schedules/lifestyles and pressures of life. These are the thoughts that we do not even give a second thought because they enter in just that quickly.

EX: "I have a Headache"; "I am so sick."; This is what you are declaring out of "Your' mouth but the bible says, "..by his Stripes you are healed." Isaiah 53:5

 It is as the Spirit gave me last week "Taking our thoughts captive to the obedience of Christ." 2 Cor 10:5 You must be careful of those things that come out of your mouths. Again, words are very Powerful. If you are not, taking your thoughts captive to the obedience of Christ then, you are quoting from the wrong playbook, likely playing on the wrong side and, I don't know about you but, I am on the Lord's side.

Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness? Romans 6:16

The word tells us in 1 Peter 5:8

“Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:”  One thing you can count on from the enemy. He is going to do his job! He is going to try to make you stumble and /or fall.

That is his Job! The reason he is able to get to you is because you are not doing yours! In not applying these scriptures we fall Prey to the enemy who is then sifting you as wheat.

Anyone who can cook knows what a Sifter is - it is used to separate unwanted elements.

What the enemy does with us is Isolate us from that which is most important and useful, THE WORD OF GOD. The Spirit Spoke to me "Thank You, Holy Spirit!" and said, "The enemy is sifting us from the BODY (The Church) and he is pulling away those INANIMATE ONES those who have no life and are unfruitful.  Reference  back to last week's topic, If you do not have the word of God within you - You have nothing to fight let alone resist him with.

When you do not resist the devil, when you do not read, study and apply Gods word you are allowing him access and now he can penetrate your being. Everything is in God's Word you can most certainly find it there… So then, you should God will not send us out un-prepared "He" prepared us for battle Read Ephesians 6:10-18 "Show up Dressed Up!"

Please, add these Scriptures to your reading 2 Tim 2:3-5; 2:5; 4:7 and Luke 10:16
