Romans 5:8 But God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

When a celebrity walks in a night club or attends an entertainment event, they most likely will be in the VIP (very important person) section. In VIP the owner treats that person with high honor providing them with whatever food or beverage they have in stock. The owner usually goes out of their way to treat their guest.

In God’s eyes, everyone is VIP. If God considers everyone VIP, who are we to think less of someone? God gave us His all through Jesus Christ. The least we can do is show our brother or sister love, kindness, and respect. Since God loves everyone, and we are instructed to be imitators of Christ, we should have the same love and compassion for others as Christ does for us. Everyone we contact should receive the VIP treatment. It doesn’t matter if they deserve it or not. We didn’t deserve it from God but, He gave it to us anyway.

Continue to mature and show the love of God towards all.

Genesis 3:21 The LORD God made garments of skin for Adam and his wife and clothed them.

Genesis 3 Summary:
Adam and Eve decide to be disobedient and eat of the forbidden tree. After eating of the tree, God questions them about their actions. At this time, they probably feel very foolish. God is disappointed with them and curses both man and woman. However, in spite of their sinful behavior, God personally clothed them with animal skin. He could have left them with their own concoction of clothes (fig leaves) but, He decided to provide for them any way.

This scripture shows the love and compassion God has for man.

For those who think, believe, or may have heard God won’t love or provide for those who live a sinful lifestyle. Think again. John 3:16 says, God so loved the world (sinners included). God loved us before we even knew Who He was.

No matter what kind of actions or lifestyle we’re living (holy or sinful) remember, God loves you.

Hebrews 11:1 Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see.

If we had at least $100.00 and we wanted to buy something that cost $10.00, we don’t need faith to buy that product. We already have the money to purchase it. Faith is believing that God has already done something we know we cannot do ourselves. Faith is total reliance and trust in God. Any and every desire we have has already been purchased and provided to us through the blood of Jesus Christ.

Think of the biggest, most expensive, most radical desire. Realize, that desire is already ours. As long as our desire pertains to life and godliness, that desire belongs to us.

Ephesians 1:3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places,

Have faith!

When we place our food in the oven or microwave, we have an expectation that when the timer goes off, our food will be warm. We have such a confidence and an expectation in our oven until we set up the dinner table and get our beverages prepared because we believe our food will be warm and ready to eat.

That same confidence we have in an oven, is the same confidence we should have in the Word of God. Once we believe and receive the Word of God regarding whatever situation, we should expect that Word to come to pass. We should go so far as to prepare the way for that promise to come to pass. If it’s a new car, clean out the garage. If it’s a new house, start packing up belongings. If it’s a husband/wife, start looking at wedding magazines or providing options for honeymoon destinations. This is radical faith. This is for those who truly believe God’s Word will come to pass in their life.

Prepare the way.

Mark 1:3 “a voice of one calling in the desert, ‘Prepare the way for the Lord, make straight paths for him.'”

Psalm 16:11 You will show me the path of life: in your presence is fullness of joy; at your right hand there are pleasures forevermore.

There are indisputable subjects that the bible is clear on. And if we hear a voice, or prompting to do something that contradicts the Word of God, then that prompting is not from God.

But, with issues not explicitly stated in the Word, God has a path, designed specifically for each of us, leading to a joyful life. As God prompts us to do or abstain from things, we should not compare with nor force our convictions on others.

Walk out your fullness of joy, as you seek and obey God’s designed path for you!

We are free from the law to live un-condemned lives through the Spirit.

Romans 8:1 There is therefore now no condemnation to them who are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

There may be certain guidelines, convictions, or promptings that are only sinful if we do contrary to what God specifically leads us to do.

For example, one person may not have peace about kissing before marriage. Someone else may kiss and be fine with that. The Bible is clear about fornication, but kissing is permitted. But if God gave you that conviction about abstaining from kissing until marriage, then it is sin to not abide by it.

1 Peter 1: 2God the Father knew you long ago and chose you to live holy lives with the Spirit’s help so that you are obedient to Jesus Christ and are sprinkled with his blood. May good will and peace fill your lives!

From Deuteronomy 28:15-68 are the curses of the law. The summary of the curses are poverty, disease, and eternal death. According to Galatians 3:13, Christ has redeemed (past tense) us from the curse of the law. If Christ did not redeem us from the curse of the law, we would all experience poverty, disease, and eternal death. Since Jesus has redeemed us, we should believe, receive by faith, and be experiencing wealth, impenetrable health, and abundant living.

It doesn’t matter what it looks like on the outside, if we can believe and receive the FACT that we are wealthy, healed, and have abundant life, the manifestation of these truths will take place in our lives.

Receive this Word and produce total health, great wealth, and the abundant life.

Mathew 13:22 But the one who received the seed that fell on good soil is the man who hears the word and understands it. He produces a crop, yielding a hundred, sixty or thirty times what was sown.”

Luke 6:31 Do to others as you would have them do to you.

This is a simple verse that most of us have heard at least once in our lives. However, many people fail to apply it in their lives. When we treat people kindly it not only reflects the character of God but, it’s also an opportunity to sow a seed into our lives and into the life of someone else.

Sowing seed in our lives:
According to Ephesians 6:8, when we treat another with kindness/respect in spite of how they treat us, we can EXPECT kindness from God. There is a guarantee that God’s kindness towards us is going to be on a higher level than we can even imagine.

Sowing seed into the lives of others:
When we show kindness/respect, we allow the love of God to be on display. The love of God is one of the most powerful forces in the world. That love being shown can brighten a person’s day. That kindness can keep a person from committing suicide. That respect can lead a person to salvation. It’s the little things.

In conclusion, treat each other with love, kindness, and respect to be a blessing into your own life and the lives of others.

Luke 6:39 He also told them this parable: “Can a blind man lead a blind man? Will they not both fall into a pit? 40 A student is not above his teacher, but everyone who is fully trained will be like his teacher.

In Genesis 12 God has called us to be blessing however, we cannot be a blessing to people spiritually without having the knowledge of God. The knowledge of God is found in His Word and in His Spirit. If we don’t read His Word or receive His Spirit, how can we expect to be a blessing to others.

Some people may say, “I will leave the spiritual growth of others to the preachers.” According to Mark 16:15 Jesus gave us instructions to preach the Gospel to the nations. This includes us. Once again, how can we preach the Gospel if we don’t know the Gospel?

Take the time and study the Word of God to build your faith and be a blessing to the people of God.

Mark 11:14 Then he said to the tree, “May no one ever eat fruit from you again.” And his disciples heard him say it.

In Mark 11 Jesus cursed the fig tree because it did not bear, or produce, fruit. Producing fruit is symbolic for producing positive results.

There is a lesson we can learn from this passage of scripture. Whatever is not yielding positive results in our lives, God has given us the ability to bind and loose, bless or curse. In our case, we can literally curse the lack of finances, the lack of employment, or the lack of whatever we desire. Just like the fig tree, once we curse these things, we should expect them to shrivel up and die.

I encourage you to curse anything you don’t desire in your life and call the things you do desire to pass.

Mark 11:20 In the morning, as they went along, they saw the fig tree withered from the roots. 21 Peter remembered and said to Jesus, “Rabbi, look! The fig tree you cursed has withered!”

Revelation 3:8 “I know your works. See, I have set before you an open door, and no one can shut it; for you have a little strength, have kept My word, and have not denied My name.

God specializes in the manifestation of the impossible, also known as miracles. He sent His Son, a tri-part of Himself, and granted the opportunity of salvation for all men who ever did or would exist. He then sent us His thoughts, the Holy Spirit, for daily guidance as well as ushering in those used-to-be-impossibilities. It’s time to live in expectation of impossibilities!

Ephesians 3:20 Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, 21to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever.

Isaiah 43:19 Behold, I will do a new thing, Now it shall spring forth; Shall you not know it? I will even make a road in the wilderness, And rivers in the desert.

Most people focus on the beginning of this verse, but the end reveals a miracle. God is promising to manifest the impossible in our lives. Receive it. Meditate on it. Declare it.

Ephesians 3:20 Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, 21to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen.

Genesis 1:28 God blessed them and said to them, “Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air and over every living creature that moves on the ground.”

Genesis 12:2 “I will make you into a great nation and I will bless you; I will make your name great, and you will be a blessing.

Previously, we mentioned how God has literally given us the ability to overcome everything on all levels. This ability is known as the blessing. The blessing is defined as an empowerment to prosper. God made it clear in Genesis 12:2 not to limit this blessing just for ourselves. God blessed us to be a blessing. Once again, the blessing is not words saying, “I bless you” but, an empowering force to prosper.

To be a blessing, we must be in a position to empower someone else. There are many ways we can be a blessing to someone else. We can be a blessing financially, through wise counsel, an encouraging word, or just listening.

However we choose to be a blessing, be sure God is in the midst. If we attempt to be a blessing without consultation with God, we would be operating in the flesh and things can quickly backfire.

Activate the blessing and be a blessing.

Genesis 1:28 God blessed them and said to them, “Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air and over every living creature that moves on the ground.”

The word blessed means an empowerment to prosper. In Genesis 1, God blessed man and said something. This signifies that a blessing is not a saying but, an empowerment. When God blessed man, He literally provided us with the ability to prosper on all levels. This ability was not limited to anything. It was not until man sinned and lost his dominion over everything. But praise God for Jesus Christ Who redeemed us and brought us back to our place of dominion and authority.

Whenever facing a trial or situation that seems too big to handle, we must realize that we are blessed. We have the God given ability, through Jesus Christ, to overcome all situations.

Activate the blessing.

2 Chronicles 13:12 Behold, God is with us at our head, and his priests with the trumpets of alarm to sound an alarm against you. Children of Israel, don’t you fight against Yahweh, the God of your fathers; for you shall not prosper.

By knowingly being disobedient, we fight against God and His plan for our life. Jesus came to give us an abundant life. By not walking in His ways, WE make the choice not to experience ALL the abundant life that He promised.

Praise God for grace because whether we intentionally or unintentionally miss the mark, for the believers, we have grace to catch us. But the just don’t live by grace, we live by faith. Our obedience positions us to receive the promise and our faith takes hold of the promise.

Surrender to God. Don’t fight against His ways. Make the choice, this day, to be totally sold out to Him.

Be blessed!

When it comes to receiving, I heard and agreed with the saying, “Expect nothing, be grateful for everything.” At that time, that quote seemed deep and profound, only relying on God’s ability to provide. However, that quote doesn’t line up with the Word of God.

Luke 6:38 says, give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your lap. For with the same measure that you measure it shall be measured to you again.

When we give, we should have an expectation that men or people will give to us. The scripture didn’t say, God was going to give to us but, men. Yes, God will put it on the heart of people to give into our lives but, ultimately the giver will be men.

As we give, we should live in expectation for our return.

John 10:27 My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me.

Many times young believers desire to grow in their relationship with God but, often times they don’t know where to start. Usually, the basics are easy. We accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior and we believe that He died and rose for our sins. After knowing and believing that, for some, it gets a little complicated.

We can read the Bible more, but where do we start? We can pray more, but how do we pray and what should we talk about?

Our growth and development is a lifetime process. There is no one living who has it altogether. God will systematically work on us little by little. The first year may be a change in our mindset (Romans 12:2). The second year may be a change in our attitude (Philippians 2:14-15). The point is, we need to be open and receptive to these things. That way, whenever God gives us instructions, we can be obedient without delay.

It’s interesting how so many people base their life around the government’s laws, funding, or regulations. When the government does something they don’t agree with, they become very upset and hostile. Depression sets in and some turn to drugs, alcohol, and/or crime. Very few people turn to God when things seem to be at their worst.

There is one thing we should remember. The government is made up of mere men. Some, if not most of these men, don’t consult God when making decisions for their country. The Bible states we should not trust men but, our reliance for everything we need and want should be on God’s system. The world’s system is not designed for us to win or get ahead. It’s designed to keep us where we are at (economically), if not put us at a lower state.

Put and keep your trust in God, not man.

Psalm 146:3 Do not put your trust in princes, in mortal men, who cannot save. 4 When their spirit departs, they return to the ground; on that very day their plans come to nothing. 5 Blessed is he whose help is the God of Jacob, whose hope is in the Lord his God, 6 the Maker of heaven and earth, the sea, and everything in them—the Lord, who remains faithful forever.

It is interesting how occurrences can make us doubt our calling. Having been rejected in the past can turn into fear of rejection, if allowed. Negative words from a few people can produce a warped perception of self, if allowed.

Acts 7:35 “This Moses whom they rejected, saying, ‘Who made you a ruler and a judge?’ is the one God sent to be a ruler and a deliverer by the hand of the Angel who appeared to him in the bush. 36He brought them out, after he had shown wonders and signs in the land of Egypt, and in the Red Sea, and in the wilderness forty years.

Realize the truth about those occurrences and do not allow them to keep you from fulfilling the purpose and call that God has placed on your life. God called Moses to save a nation and perform miracles while doing so. Reject fear and receive your call.

Colossians 3:2 Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth. 23And whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord and not to men, 24knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance; for you serve the Lord Christ.

I have begun declaring “I enjoy what I do.” The purpose of that declaration is to find joy in God no matter what task, job, or role that I am performing. Even the dream job, or ideal blessing may have some unwanted perks, such as the joy of having a baby paired with the possible pains of lack of sleep. So, we make a continual choice to enjoy what we do because we are doing all to bring honor to God.
