We are walking in today: Prepared for darkness but, God said,"let there be light."
Fret not, don't worry--walk into the light. Thank you Mr. Brown for your testimony on yesterday, you were prepared for darkness, but God. 2 Samuel 22:29 For thou art my lamp, O LORD: and the LORD will lighten my darkness. God will shine through your situation. Just when you start to prepare for defeat, my God said its time for victory. Remember the darkest hour is just before daybreak . Don't give up, hold on in the press. Psalm 18:28 For thou wilt light my candle: the LORD my God will enlighten my darkness. Psalm 27:1 The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the LORD is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid? Sometimes on your job or not having a job will seem like your darkest hour. Remember the Lord is my light and my salvation, I'm not afraid. Psalm 112:4 Unto the upright there ariseth light in the darkness: he is gracious, and full of compassion, and righteous. Psalm 119:105 Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path. God said let there be light in your marriage, finances, breakthrough, broken places, wilderness, and in the dry places. God is calling for his perfect light to surround you. Now walk in the light, let the beautiful light shine all around us, by day and by night --Jesus, the light of the world. Psalm 136:7 To him that made great lights: for his mercy endureth for ever. He's the great I AM, He's the Holy One!!! Psalm 139:11 If I say, Surely the darkness shall cover me; even the night shall be light about me. That's enough in itself to shout about, even the night shall be light about me. Tell yourself I'm covered even in my darkest hour. Psalm 139:12 Yea, the darkness hideth not from thee; but the night shineth as the day: the darkness and the light are both alike to thee. Darkness and light are the same when you are covered under the blood of Jesus.
We write in the blood: Prepared for darkness, but God said, "let there be light."
Welcome to the overflow...
Get into your prayer closet and write down the areas that are dark in your life. Next to each one it write light. Tell the devil that you are walking in God's light. If you are dealing with issues on your job, next to it write victorious light. If there are issues with finances, next to it write Jehovah Jireh light. When God tells you to move, you must take action. Write these down and pray over it and leave it there. Amen.
CAN YOU IDENTIFY WITH THE NEW TESTAMENT CHURCH? BY STEVE FINNELL
ReplyDeleteThe New Testament church began on the Day of Pentecost. Does the church congregation where you worship resemble the Lord's church. (Acts 2:47...And the Lord added to the church daily those who were being saved) (NKJV).
Acts 2:22-41......41 Then those who gladly received his word were baptized; and that day about three thousand souls were added to them. (NKJV)
Acts 2:22-41......41 And those who believed Peter were baptized--- about 3,000 in all! (The Living Bible ---Paraphrased)
The 3000 all believed Peter when he preached Jesus as a miracle worker, and as Lord and Christ. They believed Peter when he said that God raised Jesus from the grave. They believed Peter when he told them to repent (repent means to make the intellectual commitment to turn from sin and to turn toward God) and be baptized so their sins could be forgiven. They believed Peter when he told them they would received the gift of the Holy Spirit. (That would be the indwelling of the Holy Spirit Himself.)
Is that what occurs at the church where you attend?
Acts 2:42 And they continued steadfastly in the apostles doctrine and fellowship, in the breaking of bread, and in prayers. (NKJV)
Acts 2:42 They joined with the other believers in regular attendance at the apostles' teaching sessions and at the Communion service and prayer meetings. (The Living Bible---Paraphrased)
Is that what occurs at the church where you attend?
1. Is the apostles doctrine taught or is made-made church tradition taught at your church?
2. Is the apostles doctrine taught or is a semi-religious entertainment session presented, with skits, jokes, and or a secular a perspective of God's teaching? Is the gospel presented as an alternative, or the only way of salvation? Is sin preached as sin and then apologized for, or is sin simply not mentioned?
3. Is communion offered every Lord's Day, or is it offered monthly, yearly?(Acts 20:7...on the first day of the week...)
4. Is regular attendance encouraged, or is Easter, Christmas, and a few Sundays a year deemed to be sufficient? (Hebrews 10:25 not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching.) (NKJV)
5. Is prayer an import part of the church you attend?
DOES YOUR CHURCH LOOK LIKE THE NEW TESTAMENT CHURCH?
