When God gives us a revelation about someone, it is not up to us to make that person confess to us, or to condemn them.

God reveals truths to us so that we can trust him and his judgement, and for discernment, to know the truth of God, and the lies of Satan. We are not to take what God has given us and use it for our advantage, which it is truly, a disadvantage.

God wants us to trust Him, not use him. When we use God, we are mocking God, and there is a penalty for mocking Him.

Use the revelation that God gives you to glorify Him, not yourself. Remember, it’s always between you and God, not you and the other person.

Ephesians 5:6 (KJV) – let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things comets the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience.

Galatians 6:7 (KJV) – be not deceived; God is not mocked; for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.

I Peter 2:12 (KJV) – having your conversation honest among the Gentiles: that, whereas they speak against you as evildoers, they may by your good works, which they shall behold, glorify God in the day of visitation.

Our mind is truly a battlefield, which is where Satan attacks. But, we have to learn to fight with our mouth, not with our mind.

Satan will have you thinking that you are not worthy, and worried about negative things that may never happen.

What’s in your mind, is in your mind. Therefore, you can’t fight what’s in your mind without speaking it. You can’t think the fight, you must speak the fight.

Satan knows your weaknesses, but you have more power than Satan. Purposely speak the promises of God, to rebuke satan. When you tell Satan to leave, in the name of Jesus, he must leave. That doesn’t mean he won’t come back. But when he does, you have the power to resist him.

Read the word of God to know the tactics of Satan, and how to resist him. He will attack your mind, but you have to resist him.

Remember to speak it, don’t think it.

I Timothy 6:12 (KJV) – fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses.

II Corinthians 10:4-5 (KJV) – (for the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; and having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled.

James 4:7 (KJV) – submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

Learning to receive what God has already made available to us, is a challenge for most of us.

God has already given us what we need. He said, that He will supply our needs. All we have to do is have the courage to ask. And not just ask, but expect to receive what you ask for.

God has blessed us with all, not some, but all spiritual blessings. We need to be determined to receive what God has already given us. Noone can be determined for you.

Ask! Expect! Receive!

Philippians 4:19 (KJV) – but my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.

Mark 11:24 (KJV) – therefore I say unto you, what things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.

Ephesians 1:3 (KJV) – blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ

Followers of Jesus Christ are scrutinized and looked upon as hypocrites, more so than those that are not living a life of obedience.

We must remember, we have all sinned, and we all will sin until we are called home to glory. But when you become a follower of Jesus, you are mindful of those things that are not pleasing to God. Your praying and walking in obedience becomes a lifestyle. Your mind has been renewed, and the things you once did, are not appealing anymore.

Followers of Jesus Christ are not “holier than thou”, although some seem to think they are, and yes, once lived in darkness and acted in disobedience to God. But we are ambassadors, and representatives for Christ. We are to let our light shine before the world, to make a difference in this world.

Once you become a follower of Jesus Christ, you are not of this world. You have become a new creature.

It is not your fault what others think of you. Let them think what they want, you are who God says you are. But know this, one day that one somebody who has looked upon you as a hypocrite, will need you and your prayers.

Know that you are not men pleasers, but pleasing to God.

Romans 3:23 (KJV) – for all have sinned, and some short of the glory of God.

Romans 12:2 (KJV) – and be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

Ephesians 5:8 (KJV) – for ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord; walk as children of light.

II Corinthians 5:20 (KJV) – now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ’s stead, be ye reconciled to God.

Matthew 5:16 (KJV) – let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.

II Corinthians 5:17 (KJV) – therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.

Colossians 3:23 (KJV) – and whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men.

Ladies and gentlemen, we can’t live our lives being with someone that belongs to someone else, and then asking ourselves; why is God not blessing me with a husband or wife?

As long as we are using worldly wisdom; doing what the world does, we will receive what the world has to offer – drama and chaos, which brings on such things as pain, suffering, heartache, and sadness. If we think that the wisdom, ambitions and values derived from this world ruled by Satan can be used to accomplish God’s will for us, then we are deceiving ourselves.

Confusion is not of God, yet we wonder why things are not working out. It’s because we’re trying to accomplish something in our own strength that God never intended for us.

Anything that Satan has to offer is not good, and eventually is wasted efforts. But God can turn it for your good, once you have asked for forgiveness and repented of your sins.

It is better to suffer for a little while for doing the right thing, then to suffer for a lifetime for holding on to something that was never meant for you to have in the first place. Let it go.

Galatians 5:19-21 (KJV) – now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, envying, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.

Ezekiel 18:30 (KJV) – therefore I will judge you, O house of Israel, every one according to his ways, saith the Lord God. Repent, and turn yourselves from all your transgressions; so iniquity shall not be your ruin.

I Corinthians 14:33 (KJV) – for God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.

How do you spend your time? Do you waste it by doing whatever you want, whenever you want, without a care, and not being fruitful and productive? Or do you spend your time wisely, being productive, fruitful and helping others?

Time is precious, yet we all don’t look at it this way. We have no control over time. We can’t stop it, speed it up or buy it. We can’t reuse it or earn more of it. Once time has passed, it’s gone forever. We can’t get it back.

Take a look at how you spend your time, and see if it’s valuable to you and to others. You can’t take back anything you said or anything you did, but you can live more wisely, going forward.

Know what the will of God is for your life. Don’t live useless, but useful.

Ephesians 5:14-17 (KJV) – wherefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light. See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise, redeeming the time, because the days are evil. Wherefore be ye not unwise but understanding what the will of the Lord is.

At some point in time in your life, have you ever been asked the question; “if you were granted 3 wishes, what would it be?” The answer would be whatever your heart desired.

We all have desires, and we’d like those desires to come to pass. But we don’t have to wish for them. Jesus said, if you believe on him, the works that he do, you will do also, and do greater works. And when we ask, ask in Jesus name, and he will do it. But, if you don’t ask, and don’t ask with a pure heart, you don’t receive.

As a believer, if it lines up with God’s will for us, He will give it to us. If we delight ourself in the Lord, He will give us what we desire.

God is your Father. He wants you to come to him and ask for what you want. He cares about you, and he cares about what you care about. He said, cast your cares on him.

Get to know who God is, and see that he wants to give you more than 3 wishes – for the desires of your heart has no number on it.

James 4:3 (KJV) – ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts.

John 14:12-14 (LKV) – verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these sshall he do; because I go unto my Faother. And whatsoever ye shall as in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If he shall ask any thing in my nmr, I will do it.

Psalm 37:4 (KJV) – delight thyself also in the Lord: and he shall give thme the desires of thine heart.

I Peter 5:7 (KJV) – casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.

When others are in need, are you helping because it’s the right thing to do? Or are you helping to get something back in return – for your own gain?

Those who do for others only for their own gain, will only gain what they have received in their own efforts.  But when your heart is right in helping someone, God will bless you in return.

God’s word says to give, and it shall be given, pressed down, shaken together and running over.  When we give to help others, we will receive more than what we have sown.

Helping others is an opportunity. Therefore, help those that are in need, and receive the blessings of God. You reap what you sow, more than you sow, later than you sow.

Treat yourself by helping someone, don’t cheat yourself out of your blessings.

Luke 6:38 (KJV) – give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.

You are one of a kind. There is none — no one like you. God made you like no one else on earth. Of all the billions of people, there is, and never will be, no one that has a finger print like yours. That’s how awesome God is.

Others may have their own agenda of who they think you are. But own who you are, for you are:

• A child of God
• Joint heirs with Christ
• Fearfully and wonderfully made
• More than a conqueror
• A peculiar people

Romans 8:16-17 (KJV) – the Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God. And if children, then heirs, heirs of God, and joint-heirs wig Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.

Psalm 139:14 (KJV) – I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.

Romans 8:37 (KJV) – nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.

I Peter 2:9 (KJV) – but ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light.

God is the same, yesterday, today and forever.

If that’s true, and it is, that means, if God can answer the prayer of a man, who ask that it not rain, then he prayed again and ask that it rain, God can answer your prayers as well.

Ask God for what you want, and believe in your asking, that you have already received it. He said ask. So, what are you waiting for?

He did it then, he will do it now.

Hebrews 13:8 (KJV) – Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.

James 5:17-18 (KJV) – Elias was a man subject to like passions as we are, and he prayed earnestly that it might not rain: and it rained not on the earth by the space of three years and six months. And he prayed again, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth brought forth her fruit.

Romans 4:17 (KJV) – (as it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,) before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were.

Matthew 7:7 (KJV) – ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you.
