Paul tells us in Philippians 2:12 Therefore, my dear ones, as you have always obeyed [my suggestions], so now, not only [with the enthusiasm you would show] in my presence but much more because I am absent, work out (cultivate, carry out to the goal, and fully complete) your own salvation with reverence and awe and trembling (self-distrust, with serious caution, tenderness of conscience, watchfulness against temptation, timidly shrinking from whatever might offend God and discredit the name of Christ). [Not in your own strength] for it is God Who is all the while effectually at work in you [energizing and creating in you the power and desire], both to will and to work for His good pleasure and satisfaction and delight.

We place our money in banks, and we don’t sit outside the bank to ensure its safety, we exit and go about engaged in the activities of life and trust in the bank and the government that insures what’s in our accounts. God is greater than the banking institution, the men who manage them and the country that backs them.
God is able to keep what we commit to Him. We have to believe in God’s power and trustworthiness to protect and preserve everything we entrust to Him, even when it’s us, our life, our soul and our future. Then we must present our bodies to Him, commit our way to Him and rest in His faithfulness as we work His work.
Look around you, listen to the many voices speaking in theearth and be aware of the moral decline that going on. These are the “last days” and we need to be able to distinguish between genuine godliness and a form of godliness and take the steps necessary to walk in the light, so that we canhave fellowship with God and the Saints of God and have no fellowship with evil, we can live for God and finish strong. Like a preacher once said: “Choose Your friends well in these last days or you might end up sleeping with pigs.”
"In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I haveovercome the world.” These are the words of Jesus and if we are in Him, we are made to be more than conquerors through Him that loved us and gave Himself for us. So, look not at the things that are seen, they are temporal and subject tochange. Look unto Him Who is able to do exceedingly abundantly beyond all that you can hope or imagine.

There must be a willingness on our part to not attempt torestrain God, His plan for us is good and He always has our best interest at heart. We often say “Let go and let God;” what does that really mean?
Let us stop resisting the Spirit of God, let’s let God have His way in our lives so that He can bring times of refreshing from His very presence and we can operate in the same power that the early church did.
The devil tried to prevent me from delivering this word God put in my belly for you this morning, but God prevailed.
Through Jesus' suffering and death, we are shown not onlythe perfect example of love, but also obedience and patient endurance. Selfless love is so very important in our Christian walk, as well as the reality of the weakness of our humanity and our need for grace.
Do you know that Christ ever lives to make intercession forus, and He expects us to pray intercessory prayers too. He is constantly acting as our example, a mediator and advocate for those who believe. He then forever lives to pray for us, plead for us and intervene with God on our behalf as His followers and we can share in that by following His example.
Join me on today'spodcast as we look at John 17: Insight into The Great Intercessor's Prayer
There are four very urgent questions that all of humanityshould be seeking the answers to, and most certainly Christians if no one else. The answers can calm troubled and anxious hearts that eat away at our faith.
True honor comes from God, it has its source in Him, and itis to be returned to Him. Behold, to the LORD your God belong heaven and the heaven of heavens, the earth with all that is in it. For From Him and through Him and to Him are all things. All the glory, all the honor, dominion and mightare His.

After receiving power from on high you can be an effective witness, but we then must go. We have been entrusted with the ministry of reconciliation and God is in Christ reconciling all things to Himself. But just like a closed mouth cannot be fed it can't witness either. There is transformative power in the witness of Christ, but one must go, be credible and speak the truth in love. Join me today on the Spoken Word as we discuss this topic.
In legal proceedings in order for a witness to be useful and effective they have to provide essential information that canhelp determine the outcome of a case. Their testimony can either support or contradict the evidence presented, therefore they need to be credible and reliable, because this will significantly influence the judge or jury's decision. How credible of a witness are you on behalf of Jesus, how essentialis the information you present to others as His witness is your life in alignment with your testimony, will others believe your report?
You may have a good message (one that is relevant andimpactful), but because of the bitterness you carry or operate in people reject it because they reject you and then you can't make the impact God intends; your bitterness renders your message ineffective. There has to be a willingness onour part to make the necessary adjustments and cooperate with God. I know that God knew what He was getting when He got you, but God expects us to change, to grow in grace as our knowledge of Him increases and be conformed to Christ.
Matthew 21:43, the kingdom is taken from the Jews, and it isopened up to the Gentiles, but it’s closed, it’s hidden from those who love the world more. Those who are friends with the world are enemies of God, He wants them saved but they refuse to come to Him and be saved and thus they arecondemned because they love darkness because their deeds are dark. (Eph 5:5; Jn 3:19-21; 1 Cor 6:9-10; Gal 5:19-21)

Jesus didn't come to make us comfortable; He came to make us right. Not by our definition but according to God's will.
