Check yourself!

I want to write a little about our intentions / desires / and goals.

Have you ever had a dream or desire that was so awesome, you just knew it came from the Lord? After all His Word does say that He would give His children the desires of their hearts. So why is it not happening? What are you doing wrong? What can you do to make it better?

Matthew 6:33 says:
But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.


The previous verse (Matthew 6:32) says that God already knows your needs before you ask Him. And the following verse says we are to take no thought about tomorrow, it has its own issues.

Psalm 37:4 says:
Delight thyself also in the Lord; and He shall give thee the desires of thine heart.


So what do we know so far:
  • God knows the desires of our hearts
  • God knows our needs before we ask
So what keeps us from attaining our desires or goals? Our focus, our hearts, our goals - for what purpose do they serve in the lives of others, the kingdom of God, and even ourselves? God loves us so much that He gave us the answers to all the test questions before the test even began. His Word is where you should begin when embarking on anything if you consider yourself a Christian.

See, going to church, singing in the choir, being nice and smiling all the time is NOT what makes your salvation sure or your resting place in Heaven. In fact, studying the Word tells us that wide is the way to destruction and narrow the way to righteousness. Which road are you on? The road full of people OR the road less traveled?

Are you seeking God first? Are you seeking His will for your life? (Not after you have a plan or after you put a deposit down on your office space, BEFORE). He is saying that if you do this, you will have the desires of your heart and your needs met. This is a topic that I will revisit many times as there is much to say. 

As Christian men and women who are commissioned to be the light to a dark world, how can we be just as greedy, materialistic, self-absorbed, and selfish as the world? How can we be more concerned about our wardrobe than needs of others?

Do you want to own your own business? How can you give God the glory in that venture? We must all check our intentions, our hearts, and minds. God knows our hearts and if you are not seeking Him first in all you do, you are only hurting yourself. You may prosper, you may succeed, but at what cost? Disobedience to God's commands is what brought death into the world from day one. Trying to find a shortcut to getting His promises without obeying His commands is futile and may God have mercy on us as we have all been guilty of this!

To GOD be the glory for the things He has done! Don't think we can get God's blessings without following His laws. That is a trick of the enemy! Seek God's kingdom and not His hand...you will be given much more than you could ever ask or think. Check yourselves saints, the time is short.

The Names Of God in The Old Testament

God as we know Him has always been and always will be. He has no beginning and no end. His wisdom is shown throughout the cosmos and our home, planet Earth.  When Moses was called by God to go deliver the children of Israel, he asked God who should He say sent him?  God replied, "I AM." He further explained that He was " I AM that I AM." Seems kind of weird for a name, right? After the Israelites were delivered, they wandered in the wilderness for 40 years. During this time, I AM revealed who He was by what He did.  God revealed who He was by what He did.  If you feel lost, confused, or struggle with unbelief, please use this as a reference. Call on The Lord and watch Him show up. He knows your heart, so you don't have to be fancy with your words or know what to say - simply call out to I AM and watch Him become what you need! Keep pressing. Your labor is not in vain. 

Who is the LORD? Yahweh. I AM. Jehovah.

May our eyes see, our ears hear and our hearts receive the Word of the LORD. We must return to Our Creator before His Son Jesus Christ returns. The time is shorter than when we first heard of His return more than 2  millennia ago. He does not want any person to perish or be eternally separated from Him, but all who ignore His call to return and all who mock Him will surely see that His Word cannot lie! He will be a refuge to those who choose Him, and a terror to those who reject His salvation. He is a firm foundation for those who trust in Him, but a rock of offense to those who refuse.  As nations have come and gone, so will all of us in the earth, but our souls will live on forever. How we respond to His call will determine if we are eternally with Him, or eternally separated.  Come to the LORD  while there is still time. Since He created time, we cannot control it, so make your salvation sure today! Creator. GOD. King of kings. LORD of lords. For by Him all things were created that

The Real Meaning of The Rainbow is in The Bible

After the monumental decision by the Supreme Court to allow same-sex couples to marry, I knew it was yet another inch closer to the days Jesus spoke of in Matthew 24, and His imminent return. Let me first say that this post will not attempt to sway you in your views about the Supreme Courts ruling. It would be a waste of time as those who belong to God know and understand the sanctity of marriage and how it originated already. I want to discuss the rainbow and its true meaning. The rainbow is one of those wonders that God created in the Earth that not only reminds us of Him, but also reminds Him of us. The true meaning of the rainbow comes from the Bible. Genesis 9:13 says: I set My bow [rainbow] in the cloud, and it shall be a token  or  sign of a covenant  or  solemn pledge between Me and the earth. (Amplified version)
