Family Encouragement Day 178. As I continue to bring what Jesus did when He rose from the dead, reveals to me how mindful He is towards us. Like leaving rose peddles that lead to Him. (heart warming) Now, concerning our heart, He says in the book of Ezekiel, that He will give us a new heart and new spirit. New Heart that will have The Word written on it, and a New Spirit. Let's come together and allow God to speak to us through His Word.

AKA Family Encouragement 177,  A love letter from the Lord is what He placed on my heart to bring to everyone at the sound of my voice. Wanting everyone to know that all that has been said in this Love Letter is written in the Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth. The Bible is His love letter to us and has us apply it our lives on a daily basis. Take this time to listen in today in Jesus Name. Scriptures I have used to reference this love letter. Isaiah 48:16 , The book of Genesis, Exodus 34:6-7 Lev 19:2, John 14:21 Prov 3:5-6, Hebrews 8:10Jeremiah 31:33 Ezekiel 36:26 11:19, 1 Peter 1:15-17 Ephesians 5:26-27, John 13:10 Luke 15:11-32

AKA Family Encouragement 176. As I do this from my vehicle I want to take this time to testify of the goodness of God. He manifests Himself to the believer according to John 14:21.

AKA Family Encouragement 175,  Which soil is opperating in your life today. As we are in Matthew 13:1-9, Matthew 13:18-23, We will see the four types of soil that we, as believers deal with from time to time. In the process of growing in the knowledge of God's Word and seeing how the seed, which is His Word, falls within the boundaries of our heart. Let's come together and dive into God's Word and see the wisdom, knowledge and understanding of this parable.

(Family Encouragement 174)  We are: Sealed with The Holy Spirit, Temple of the Holy Spirit and Have Jesus as our foundation, that has been alrady laid.Eph 1:13-14 Eph:4:30, 2 Cor 5:5,6:16 Luke 21:28, 1 Cor 6:19, 3:16 Rom 8:9-11Jn 14:17,23 Eph 2:21-22, 2 Tim 1:14, 1 Pt 2:4-6, 1 Cor 3:11, Isa 28:16 , Ps 118:22, Rom 9:33, Mtt 21:42Mtt 7:24-27 and Ps 91:14-16,MSG translation

Family  Encouragement Day 173. As I continue to do what God has placed in front of me for my household, extended family and friends will hopefully go better for those wanting a better understanding of God's Word. His Word is forever settled in heaven. So, if we allow God to have His Word settled in our hearts, it will allow the roots to go deep down and bear friut that is pleasing to God. Being a tree that is good requires us to have the Holy Spirit bring The Word of God to remembrance, that will wash, and transform our lives in Jesus Name. Let's gather around the Word of God and be nourished.

Man shall not live on bread alone, but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God. His Word is so needed in these times. His Word was there for those before us and now forever more. Oh that we, as the creation of God, would humble ourselves before the living God and see that there is more than being a creation of God. It is to become a son or daughter of the living God, by accepting Jesus Crist as your Lord and Savior and embrace a relationship that is personal and full of life. Many are called, but few are chosen. Why is this? It's because there needs to be a change of heart, total surrender, and become teachable to learn to hear His voice and be discipled. Learnig to become a voice, crying in the wilderness, is to have those who listen, to hear God, who speaks from Heaven, by His Holy Spirit. We as childeren are taught to be brought up under The Hand of God, The Apostle, Prophet, Evangelist, Pastor and Teacher so, that we can be preparred for the work of the ministry. Let's dive in to God's Word and be filled with our daily bread for today.

Have you lost focus of God? Have you inclined your ear to the different voices that are in the world and not God's voice? I have experienced that in my life and thank God for delivering me from going out of bounds or off track. I brought forth scriptures if you have found yourself at this point and hope you draw near to God today, In Jesus Name.

As the Final Hour approaches or The Day Approaching according to Hebrews 10:25, we need to examine our lives according to 2 Corinthians 13:5 and continue to see ourselves  in the mirror of God's Word (James 1:23-25).  As I have been hearing more about His return, I had to dig into God's Word to see it for myself. I pass what I have seen and will continue to seek this through as the day approaches. Jesus says in Luke 21:34, don't let this day catch you unaware. There are many scriptures that go together with this scripture and I will share it with you. So, lets dive in to God's Word and encourage ourselves as this day approaches according to Hebrews 10:25.Scriprtures: Matthew 24:42-44 , Mark 13:33-37 , 1 Thess 5:6-8 , Romans 13:11-14 , 1 Pt 4:7 Rev 3:3 , Eph 5:15-18 , Phillipians 4:5-7 , 2 Pt 3:10-12 

Today's question lies in the heart of many today. What is my purpose in life? God says, Call unto me and I will answer and show you things that you don't know. He will reveal things to you as you seek Him first according to Matthew 6:33. He will open up your eyes to see what He has called you to do according to Ephesians 1:17-19. Lets take this journey together and see what God reveals to us today.

This question came to me while going through times in my walk that turned busy. Things came when prayer and reading God's Word was at a low level. One example I can give is when God told the Levites in Leviticus 6:12 not to let the fire on the alter go out. That it would burn continually. We are the Temple of the Holy Spirit and need to keep an attitude of prayer and reading God's Word. The lack of this places us to hear more from our flesh. Oh how we need to keep the fire burning and not quench the Spirit according to 1 Thess 5:19. So, today we will see God's Word come alive as He expresses His chastening and His love for us. Which allows His Holy Spirit to lead us into all truth.                                                                                                 **P.S had to go long in today's podcast  est: 52min**

What are we filled with today? Are we filled with what the world (that which is apart of God) has to offer or are we filled with God, which consists of His Word, His Holy Spirit, and all the fullness of God. I would rather have what God has to offer, because what i have recieved from the world only left me void and with no direction. I have a purpose and that purpose is His Will that is made visible as i learn His Word and am able to share it with others without going on my own strength. He supplies all I need and will never leave me nor forsake me. Are you ready to be filled with His Presence? Let's dive in together, for we will be totally filled to overflowing in Jesus Name.

Today's title has to do with how God has been dealing with me concerning sin. Knowing that this message may offend those that are listening, but we know that God's Word does do that according to Matthew 15:10-20. That is If it is found or exposed in our lives. The question would be, how would we react to the truth of God's Word. "Jesus offended the religious leaders and the text indicates that He meant to do it. He did it on purpose. He offended them because they were following their traditions and their commandments of traditions instead of the Scriptures themselves. The reason He offended them is given in verse 13, 'That which is not planted of My Father must be rooted up.' They are going down the wrong path and Jesus says, 'I put a hindrance there.' Put something there for them to stumble over while they are making their way down the wrong path. Gave them something to think about, something to challenge them with. And in that sense, the offense is purely acceptable; in fact, something the Lord does all the time." I would rather have God discipline me with His Word and expose things in my life that need not be there (psalms 139: 23-24), than to have my ears be tickled ( meaning: teachings that cater to one's desires rather than truth ,2 Timothy 4:3-4). So, much is invested in this podcast concerning this topic. So, tune in today. 

Starting Part 2 was very necessary, for part 1 would of been 1 hour long. There was so much to bring to the table. As I was bringing the Word of God, I was able to bring a testimony of how God was taking me out of my comfort zone to minister to someone I didn't know. We are Jesus' voice, hands and feet. We are to reach everyone the Lord leads us to share the good news. Not just ministering to those in church that come in nor the ones at the prison, where I go to minister. Really going out into the fields where the harvest is ready and the laborers are few. As the church we learn to stand, declare, pray and believe God's Word for those we come in contact with and for ourselves. Let's have God move us forward in being The Church of today's time.

Going to church or being The Church, that is the question. Going to church is good, to listen to the Word of God and one day become the church as you invite Jesus to be Lord and Savior of your life. Being The Church is being responsible with the Anointing of God that breaks the yoke of bondage in your life and in the life of those you come in contact with. Being The Church is one who is mature and has their senses exercised to discern both good and evil according to Hebrews 5:19. We are the temple of The Holy Spirit and have been empowered according to Acts 1:8. I pray that Part 1 of Being The Church ignites a spark to your hope in Christ, being ignited to move forward in the Anointing, being God's voice, hands, and feet in this world. So, lets get started...

To be The Bride of Christ is to submit to Him. Submitting is to humble ourselves to His Will. Not my own will, but Your Will be Done. Seeking, embracing His counsel, and guidance comes from His Holy Spirit, which is very important. Dive deeper and receive a revelation that will embrace a personal relationship with Him that is personal. Seek Him as He can be found while it is still day. For darkness will come and you don't want to experience that separation from Him, forever.

Leaving the elementary principles of Christ, which are described in Hebrews 6:1-2. Repentance from dead works, faith towards God, The doctrine of baptism, Laying on of hands, Resurrection of the dead, and Eternal Judgement. We can move on to seeing our lives growing in becoming sons and daughters of God. A level where we learn about our inheritance in Christ, hearing God's voice, and how to respond to Him. We develop spiritual eyes and ears according to Matthew 13:16. Jesus also said in John 10:27-28 that His Sheep hear His voice.... It will help us draw closer to God each and everyday.

As I am lead to continue in making sure the listener has their heart ready to hear and respond to God's Word. God has promised in the book of Ezekiel 36:26 that He will give a new heart and remove the stony heart. Which He does as we spend time in His presence and having His Word become a part of our lives, daily. We will look at the different grounds and knowing we can be a person to have all those grounds be a part of our lives. With God's help, the ground can be tilled to receive God's Word without rocks, thorns and a hard ground where a seed is not able to pierce through. God's Word also helps us to be watered and tilled ready for the seed of His Word to be planted and see fruit or results in our lives. So, lets proceed to His precious Word that will transform our lives.

When you come unto the knowledge of the truth. You can and might be drawn to surrendering your life to God. For it is written, that Jesus said "I am the resurrection and the life: he that believes in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live."  When you accept Him as Lord and Savior of your Life, you will need to be taught His Will for your life. As you do this, you will encounter what is written, "Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every Word that proceeds out of the mouth of God. Matt 4:4. Now, being a babe in Christ should not be looked as a bad thing.  We as Christians, need to go through this time with joy, while being revealed, that which is labeled as elementary, but very important to have for a solid foundation, which is Jesus Christ. Come and join us in this study of being a Babe in Christ, that will have us grow in the power of His might according to Eph 6:10.

Today, reading out of The Gospel of John Chapter 21. We will be embracing The Resurrected, Savior and Lord, Jesus Christ. We can experience Him today and everyday. He showed up to many, plus the disciples, He showed up three times to them. Wow! Amazing. In the simplest way, we will do all to break down the scriptures to embrace it, to receive it by faith, by believing His Word today. For example, there is Phillip, a disciple of Jesus who helped a Ethiopian to understand the book of Isaiah as he heard him reading it, then God told him to help him and explain it to him according to Acts 8:26-40. Let's take God's Word and apply it to our lives and go forth in Jesus Name. So, let's begin this chapter.

Spending time with the Lord, embracing His presence , and wanting to draw nearer to God by submitting ourselves to Him is where we can experience Him effectively. Being filled with the Spirit everyday is a necessity, because we pour into those around us, those in connection to us. That's why Jesus spent the beginning of the day with the Father to get strengthened and filled to pour into others. Let's get into God's Word to see how we can we be filled, so that we follow what Jesus did.

Do you want to learn to pray and worship God according to His Word? Let's do that today! According to Hebrews 12:1-2 (parahaphrase) Lay aside that weight , remove distractions ,and look unto Jesus today. Let's take these 30min to enter into His gates with thanksgiving and into His courts with praise. Enter into your secret place of worshp, in your closet , while you are working at your office. Pray , seek Him , while He can be found!

According to Phil 3:14 We are running the race to obtain the heavenly prize for which God through Christ Jesus is calling us. There can be set backs or even being disqualified, but don't stay down. Don't allow the enemy to keep you down. Repent is needed and we need to keep our focus on God at all times. Needing to remain faithful and true to God and those He places on our path. Let's get into this message today to see if we are in the faith.

Did you know, when Jesus showed up, he would change the atmosphere. Whether it was good or bad to those receiving His presence. The enemy would cry out, "what have you to do with us Jesus of Nazareth, or "Master, Teacher or Lord". What kind of atmosphere does He bring when He shows up around you or around those that are called by His Name? Let's experience Him together today , so that we can be carriers of His Presence and change the atmosphere were we are at.

Do you want to know what happens when you spend time with God? Gos sees you and will begin to maifest Himself by opening your eyes to behold His Glory. Take time to spend in His presence and be ready to have your cup filled today.

Call those things that are not as thought they were. Learning to fight the good fight of faith is learning God's Word and speaking it, declaring it, and doing all to stand on God's Word without wavering. Today, lets learn on that, so that we can walk in victory that has been given to us in Jesus Name.

Are you a vessel of honor or dishonor? You can know as you dive in studying God's Word. So, as we talk in the line of this topic, let's get ready to hear what God has for us today.

Where do we stand as a child of God? Are we living a life that is crucified with Christ or living Sunday to Sunday, message to message. Are we a vessel of honor or dishonor according to 2Timothy 2:20-21? We are to judge ourselves according to 1 Corinthians 11:31. Lets draw near to God and allow Him to show us that we are in need of a Lord and Savior. He can become Lord and Savior today according to Deuteronomy 30:19-20

As we confess that we believe in God, does it stop there? Do we embrace a relationship with Him and seek after Him through His word? These are questions we face and need to search within and ask God to search our hearts. To see if any wicked way is within us and that He would lead us in the way everlasting according to Psalms 139:23-24. Let's dive into today's podcast, concerning our status as a believer and seek after God today. It's time to develop a relationship that will be built on a solid foundation, The Rock of our Salvation, Jesus Christ.
