From the Throne

I believe the Lord says, “My children do not look through My eyes; they read my Word in the darkness. They walk down a path in which they cannot see the steep cliffs below. They cannot see the snares laid out for them by the evil one; they perish because of lack of illuminated knowledge of my word. It is in the light that My children can see My Word and it will illuminate their path. My Spirit will go before them and shine upon satan's snares, and they will see me move in their midst to uphold my children.”

Get Intoxicated with Christ

Most people believe that they can walk in the presence of God and neglect the things of God. Even if a person believes they are a good person that does not develop a relationship with our Creator.

Some Christians read books about God, but not His version. I am a Christian Author, but I would rather a person read the bible than my own book. While my book is packed with God’s word, an estimated 1000 scriptures, there is nothing like the real thing. Cliff Notes on God will not develop you as His word will.

Another part of the drink is a real prayer life. This does not come easy! However, it is mandatory that we Christians spend time with God and make a large portion of the day for communication with Him. Until I had this time with God, there was no freedom in Christ. However, once you MAKE yourself pray, you will become addicted to the time you spend with Him. It is through prayer that I can leave all my problems and troubles to God and enjoy life.

Another major component to a relationship with Christ is the Holy Spirit. It is the “God in us” that helps us understand His word, and helps us make daily decisions. God cared so much for us that He put a portion of Himself in us. We either choose to yield to the Holy Spirit, or the things of this world. Personally, nothing in my former life brought lasting joy, until I decided to live in Christ.

Praise and worship is mandatory. We must realize that when we praise Him, we are putting God in His proper place, above us. It is a demonstration of complete surrender when we praise Him in “spirit and in truth.” (John 4:24)

I hope that you get intoxicated with God! Let Him dwell in you.

The Word of God is Alive

God’s Word is Alive, when….

The word of God is just another book to most people. They read the bible like a storybook. Once you read it, you know the story. However, to some, including myself, the word of God is alive. It lives as He (Jesus) lives.

The word of God is living and active and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing as far as the division of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart. Hebrews 4:12

I have seen this power many times; it is the power of God’s word. I have seen it in such a way that the power cannot be denied, it is most powerful. The power contained in the word of God is for anyone that seeks God with all of their heart.

So will My word be which goes forth from My mouth;
It will not return to Me empty,
Without accomplishing what I desire,
And without succeeding in the matter for which I sent it. Isaiah 55:11

The consecration of yourself to God will determine the power of the Holy Spirit in your life. If the Spirit of the living God leads you, when you speak the word of God, it will be as if God says it and it will perform His purpose. Read the word of God and commune with the Father through prayer, and He will anoint your life.

Nothing of the Spirit is to glorify you, only God. You are nothing but an instrument, a mouthpiece for God and your usability is determined by your complete devotion to your purpose. The hammer does not say to the builder, look at the house I built and it certainly does not say today I am going to be a saw, find another hammer! Neither should we say to anyone look at what I did, but look what the Father has done. As God can use you, you will become more a multi-functional tool for His purpose.

For this reason we also constantly thank God that when you received the word of God which you heard from us, you accepted it not as the word of men, but for what it really is, the word of God, which also performs its work in you who believe. 1 Thessalonians 2:13
