1 John 5:12 (KJV) ¹²  He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.

Did you know that you’re living on planet earth among walking dead men? According to I John 5:12, if you don’t have Jesus, if you’re not saved –born-again—you are dead!

Now, that doesn’t mean you’re not breathing, but rather that you’re not enjoying the fullness of the abundant life that Jesus came to give – John 10:10. You’re not spiritually alive. You can’t get what Jesus gave unless you have Jesus!

When we speak of walking dead men, it’s not physical death because they’re still waking around. But we’re talking about spiritual deadness. When you get born again, you’re body doesn’t get born again, it’s your spirit, the real you, that comes to life. That’s the part that contacts God, that’s the part that the Holy Spirit speaks to, leading, guiding, and directing you.

Your mind doesn’t get re-born. It gets renewed by feeding on God’s Word. Then when your spirit and mind line up with the Word, your body lines up because it’s two against one.

You can never get too much Word in you. We who are born again will live throughout all eternity, using faith and walking in God’s Word. Faith is forever because God is a faith God. Actually, it’s the faith of Jesus in us! Praise the Lord for His unspeakable gift.

John 10:10 (KJV) ¹⁰  The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.

Galatians 2:20 (KJV) ²⁰  I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.

How many times have you worked on a project and because of all the glitches, you wanted to quit and throw it out the window? (Those thoughts often occur in connection with computer issues!) My guess is that every one of us has had those thoughts at one time or another.

However, you probably forged ahead with your project and opted not to quit but to see it through. And, when it was all said and done, you were glad you didn’t quit—right?

Well, that’s how it is with the things of God. We need to stay in it for the long run—no matter what! As someone once said, you shouldn’t have an escape route. Don’t give yourself the option of quitting and hoping you did the right thing. Quitting is a disgrace and dishonors God.

When you’re praying about something specific, you need to have a “stick-to-it” attitude. It’s not a matter of how long it takes. If God has promised it in His Word, then you need to stand and having done all to keep standing. Remember, in one hour things can change!

God has already given us every promise to meet our needs and be successful on planet earth. If we aren’t, it’s our fault, not God’s. What more can He do since He gave us His all – Jesus, His Name, His Blood, the Holy Spirit and His gifts, the faith of Jesus, the Word of God, the angels to assist us, and more and more. We truly are blessings going somewhere to show forth His goodness!

That’s why it dishonors God when we quit because quitting says that we don’t believe that God is on our side and a very present help in time of need. Quitting overlooks the promises and tries to function without God.

Let’s be doers of the Word and believe that what God has promised, He indeed will deliver. That’s what faith is. And that’s how we please God!

Ephesians 6:10-14 (KJV) ¹⁰  Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.
¹¹  Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
¹²  For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
¹³  Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
¹⁴  Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;

Psalm 115:15 (KJV) ¹⁵  Ye are blessed of the LORD which made heaven and earth.

Psalm 46:1 (KJV) ¹  God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.

2 Corinthians 1:20 (KJV) ²⁰  For all the promises of God in him are yea, and in him Amen, unto the glory of God by us.
Hebrews 11:6 (KJV) ⁶  But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

God never intended for the circumstances of life to control us. We are to be in control because we have been given a mandate to dominate our area of influence. But, many times it might seem that “things” are in control and not us. Why is that? Read on.

You’ve probably heard us called the ‘blab it and grab it” group. But, I want to tell you that that’s exactly what is happening in your life if things seem out of control. Take a look at what you have been saying. What’s been coming out of your mouth?

Proverbs 13:2-3 (KJV) ²  A man shall eat good by the fruit of his mouth: but the soul of the transgressors shall eat violence.
³  He that keepeth his mouth keepeth his life: but he that openeth wide his lips shall have destruction.

 

Notice that the above scripture is referring to the words of your mouth. It’s by your words that you order your life. In other words, what you say is what you get. But, you might say that you haven’t been speaking evil. What about: things never work out for me, if I start doing better, something always happens, or how ‘bout Murphy’s Law! I think you get the picture. (Note: I never confess Murphy’s Law. I say, “Whatever can go right will go right at the most opportune time.”)

 James 3:2 (KJV) ²  For in many things we offend all. If any man offend not in word, the same is a perfect man, and able also to bridle the whole body.

James makes it very clear that you can control your whole body with the words of your mouth. And you can control your circumstance with the words of your mouth. It’s all the same principle.

I challenge you today to take heed to what you have been saying, whether it’s been for weeks, months, or even years. Have those words brought blessings into your life and those around you? If not, then it’s time to take inventory and change so that you can, indeed, live the life that your Heavenly Father intended.

Genesis 1:26 (KJV) ²⁶  And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.

Mark 11:23-24 (KJV) ²³  For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.
²⁴  Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.

Just who are you? Have you ever wondered what people really think of you? Should you actually care what they think? These are good questions that affect us more than we think they do.

How many times have you done something with the thought in mind about what others might say or think? We’ve all done this at one time or another. But let me say that people are going to think what they want, whether or not it’s true. In fact, some don’t ever let the facts get in the way of what they think or believe! How ‘bout that for being on the wrong page!

You are not other people’s opinions. They don’t (at least they shouldn’t) control you. You are the one who determines what you think and believe. You are not people’ opinions. You are what God said you are and He speaks the truth!

I encourage you to go to God’s Word and find out all the good things He has to say about you and enjoy every day of your life!

Here are a few scriptures to get you started:

Jeremiah 29:11 (KJV) ¹¹  For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.

Psalm 139:14 (KJV) ¹⁴  I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.
1 Corinthians 1:30 (KJV) ³⁰  But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption:
Psalm 17:8 (KJV) ⁸  Keep me as the apple of the eye, hide me under the shadow of thy wings

Psalm 139:14 (KJV) ¹⁴  I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.
1 Corinthians 1:30 (KJV) ³⁰  But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption:
Psalm 17:8 (KJV) ⁸  Keep me as the apple of the eye, hide me under the shadow of thy wings…

Fear is the enemy of your faith. Too many times, we as Christians, make good confessions but then go about our day worrying about what we just prayed and confessed. (Worry is fear!) That’s why things don’t work out the way we want. We are the ones short-circuiting our faith.

Faith is believing that what God has said in His Word is true and then acting on it. In other words, faith is believing God’s Word.

Fear, on the other hand, is believing what the devil has lied to you about. Remember, the devil is the father of lies and that’s what he does best—lies to you about anything and everything. He is so wily that he will even sneak in a partial truth to confuse you. But, a lie is a lie, no matter how it’s cloaked.

If you pray according to God’s Word, by praying His promises, then you need to believe in your prayers. Worrying about the problem will cancel out the prayers you have prayed and you’ll be no better off then you were before. But, if you pray according to God’s Word, and then stand firm, believing that what you have prayed will indeed come to pass (because God said it), then you can go about your daily activities, resting in the joy and peace of the Lord.

John 8:44 (KJV) ⁴⁴  Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.

2 Timothy 1:7 (KJV) ⁷  For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.
Romans 8:15 (KJV) ¹⁵  For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.
^{Hebrews 2:15} (KJV) ¹⁵  And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.

Romans 15:13 (KJV) ¹³  Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost.

Someone once said that you should never have an escape plan—no quitting! Yes, God does provide a way of escape for us when the enemy attacks but that’s not what I’m talking about here.

When we’re going through some things—issues/problems of life—we need to stand firm on God’s Word in faith. Quitting should not be an option. Quitters never win and winners never quit!

One sure way to fail is to quit standing on God’s Word. Remember, God’s Word works and has never failed. Of course, some have failed to work the Word, but the Word didn’t fail.

Our society, as a whole, quits when the going gets tough. But, as Christians, we’re supposed to trust in the Living God and His Word to put us over. Proverbs says that if we faint in the day of adversity, our strength is small. But, we’re not going to faint. We’re going to pull ourselves up and stand firm on God’s Word, doing what He says: draw near to Him, resist the devil and he will flee.

Be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. God is well able to get you through and deliver you. He always cause us to triumph in Jesus!

1 Corinthians 10:13 (KJV) ¹³  There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.
1 Kings 8:56 (KJV) ⁵⁶  Blessed be the LORD, that hath given rest unto his people Israel, according to all that he promised: there hath not failed one word of all his good promise, which he promised by the hand of Moses his servant.
Proverbs 24:10 (KJV) ¹⁰  If thou faint in the day of adversity, thy strength is small.

James 4:7 (KJV) ⁷  Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
Ephesians 6:10 (KJV) ¹⁰  Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.
2 Corinthians 2:14 (KJV) ¹⁴  Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of his knowledge by us in every place.

If you were to ask any Christian what they worship, they would say that they worship God. Yes, that may be so but what else are they worshipping?

The unsaved world worships celebrities, famous people, money, their job, their things, and a myriad of other things. They honor and hold in high esteem these people and things and, sadly, this had crept into the Church. Worship that is reserved for God alone has been misguided and deceived many sincere and well-meaning Christians.

We can understand how the world worships things other than God, but it ought to be so among the Church. We cannot afford to let our worship and honor get misguided and fixed on the wrong things. Some even put their families before God! And therein lies the answer to why many things don’t work out for us.

God’s Word is very specific in that He has commanded that we have no other gods before Him. Our jobs, our money, our families cannot be number one. God is number One and there is only one place for number One and it’s for Him.

Too many times, we get so busy with our everyday lives that we, whether on purpose or ignorantly, put God on the back burner. If we have time for Him in our busy day, then okay but if not, then we push Him off to another time and day.

In Matthew 6:33 Jesus tells us to seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness and all our necessities will be added to us.

Let’s make some adjustments and put God back in the number one place and watch things change. You’ll find that you even get more accomplished when you spend time with your Heavenly Father at the beginning of the day!

Exodus 20:3 (KJV) ³  Thou shalt have no other gods before me.

Matthew 6:31-33 (KJV) ³¹  Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?
³²  (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.
³³  But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

So, what’s your focus? We’re always focused on something and it’s either positive or negative. It’s our choice.

In any given situation, you can focus on the “problem” part or the “solution” part. You can be upset about what’s wrong or be thankful for what’s right. Too many times we get sidetracked by the negative part because it screams so loudly that we forget that there’s a multitude of things to be thankful for.

Focus is a matter of perspective. The half full glass vs. the half empty glass is a classic example. Either way, the glass is only filled half way but it’s your perspective that determines your attitude. Negativity never gets the blessing because it’s so busy being negative that it misses the very blessing that’s been there all the time.

Sometimes we misinterpret situations and make our own problems when there really isn’t one. Many times it’s not a problem unless you make it one.

Another thing to keep in mind is that negativity can be very habit forming. I’ve seen where people get into it and that’s all they see—negative, negative, negative. It’s really hard to be around them because they’re so focused on the wrong things and not the things of God.

Let’s do ourselves a giant favor and focus on whatsoever things are true, honest, just, pure, lovely, and of a good report. And, keep a thankful heart, continually praising the Lord for His goodness to us!

Philippians 4:6 (KJV) ⁶  Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.
Philippians 4:8 (KJV) ⁸  Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.

Psalm 36:9b (KJV) ⁹… in thy light shall we see light.

What does this scripture mean that in His light shall we see light? Let’s look closely and glean some truth from this verse.

Light is a powerful force in the earth. It scatters the darkness and exposes what has heretofore been hidden. It’s the same with God’s light. When you walk in the light of His Word, you “see” things that you didn’t see before. We call it revelation of the Word.

God is light and in Him is no darkness (I John 1:5b). This means that if you walk in the light of God’s Word, you’ll really walk in the light and His light will expose and reveal to you the things that you otherwise would not see.

Light exposes the hidden things of darkness. That’s one of the reasons that criminals like to do their dirty work under the cover of darkness. But moving right along, let’s look at the positive side of light’s exposure.

We know that God’s Word is replete with revelation upon revelation and that we, as human beings on planet earth, will never fully know all there is to His Word. It will take all eternity for God to reveal it to us. But we can know in part and to a greater or lesser degree, we, as individuals, can glean revelation from the Word as we walk in the light of the revelation that we do have.

Light begets light. As God’s Word is revealed to you, if you’ll walk in it, then He will reveal more to you. There are layers upon layers of truth in every verse and it takes diligence and commitment to peel back the layers.

Remember when you first began to study the Word and how exciting it was to understand something for the first time? Then, as you continued to study, all of a sudden, you received more revelation regarding the same verse? This will continue to happen because there is so much wisdom and revelation in His Word that we can only grasp bits at a time.

I remember an incident when I gave someone a mini book of the Gospel of John. He returned it a short time later saying that he had read it! He completely missed the whole point. He was to keep it and read it over and over to glean God’s truths from it. And that’s what I think happens to many people. They read the Bible in part and feel that once they do that, they’ve accomplished a monumental feat and can move on to something else. They have no clue of the richness of God’s Word and that therein lies the answers to all of life’s questions.

We all need more light of God’s Word and should sincerely desire it. This goes along with loving His Word. Then, as we put forth the effort, and it will take effort, we will get more light and revelation that will change us forever!

1 John 1:5b (KJV) ⁵   … God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.

John 8:12 (KJV) ¹²  Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.

 Luke 12:2 (KJV) ²  For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; neither hid, that shall not be known.
Hebrews 4:13 (KJV) ¹³  Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do.

As you have noticed, I use many scriptures each time I write a blog. This is not to fill up space. I have plenty of good reasons why I do this but the first and foremost one is because it is God’s Word—His incorruptible Word.

You see, if you’re ever going to walk in the victory that God has provided in His Word, you’re going to have to develop a truly sincere love of His Word. In fact, the Word of God has to become the benchmark for all that you do. How many times have I said that!

Yes, there are those who ignore God’s Word and things seem to go right for them but that’s not all there is. That’s not the end of the program.

This life is a mere droplet in the sea of eternity. We’re only here for a short time and if that’s all you focus on, you’re short-changing yourself by a million miles.

God’s Word has the answer for everything you’ll ever face in this life, but, and I mean but, you have your part to do. God has already done His part by speaking forth His promises and you know He can’t lie because every Word He speaks comes to pass and will continue to do so throughout all eternity. Praise the Lord for His goodness to us! What more could we want when He’s given us everything we’ll ever need!

Of course, there are those who say, “I don’t see His promises manifesting in my life.” That may be so, but it doesn’t negate the Word. God’s Word is true in spite of people’s experiences. Never base your belief in God according to someone’s experience. That’s very bad and will get you nowhere fast.

God’s Word is the Truth that will set you free as you continue in it. You must plant it in the good soil of your heart, water it, and continue in it, if you want the results that God has promised.

In the parable of the sower, the only ground that produced was the one that, when the seed was planted, was watered and cared for. The other types of soil didn’t produce. Let’s all be good ground for the Word of God to grow in, develop, and produce 30, 60, and 100fold results.

1 Peter 1:23 (KJV)
²³  Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.

John 8:31-32 (KJV)
³¹  Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed;
³²  And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.

Mark 4:1-20
