We are walking in today:  One Mindset!


Genesis 11:6-7 6 And the Lord said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do. 7 Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech.  We can stand strong against our imaginations on one accord.  Fiveamprayer we are a Divine Destiny Connection, the chain that links us together!  Each of us are a link with different gifts and talents.  We have become stronger with every link.  One mindset can break the yolk of the enemy when dealing with our minds!  Having thoughts that are not our own, the enemy is battling us in our minds!  But as soon as we link ourselves together,  on one mindset, the enemy and his weapons formed--will not prosper!  We need to stand on one mindset!  Look at Genesis 11:6, And the Lord said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do.  Fiveamprayer we are on one accord, that is why this is our year for asking for the impossible.  In unity there is commanded blessings.  Psalms 133:1-3 1 Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity! 2 It is like the precious ointment upon the head, that ran down upon the beard, even Aaron's beard: that went down to the skirts of his garments; 3 As the dew of Hermon, and as the dew that descended upon the mountains of Zion: for there the Lord commanded the blessing, even life for evermore.  The power of one mindset will defeat the enemy.  Line up your thoughts this morning, with the word of God.  As God's remnant, is of one mind, one purpose, one impulse, one basis and one authority!  That's of the scripture alone!  He exercises His power through us!  Acts 1:12-15 12 Then returned they unto Jerusalem from the mount called Olives, which is from Jerusalem a sabbath day's journey. 13 And when they were come in, they went up into an upper room, where abode both Peter, and James, and John, and Andrew, Philip, and Thomas, Bartholomew, and Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon Zelotes, and Judas the brother of James. 14 These all continued with one accord in prayer and supplication, with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brethren. 15 And in those days Peter stood up in the midst of the disciples, and said, (the number of names together were about an hundred and twenty,) Acts 2:1 And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place.  As we take into consideration of the upper room remnant.  We turn the question to preparation and unity--prayer and supplication during their 10 days together.  The Greek word for prayer in the message is proseuché which is  the common new testament  term of prayer addressed to God.  This word is also, sometimes denoted as a place that was devoted for prayer, as well as the act of praying.   Somebody shout glory!  The upper room was a place that  was devoted to prayer and those gathered there were praying people!  The Greek word for supplication, deésis which denotes a petition to God that stresses a need.  Ask God for the impossible.  We are the remnant in the upper room.  These people recognize that they were a needy people without resources of their own.  They had no economic power, no political power, no religious power. they had no spiritual power in and of themselves.  But they recognized the source of all  power!  They waited and petitioned God.  For that which Christ had promised to bestow on them.  No doubt some at times were questioning how Jesus' word of this promise could possibly be fulfilled.  Acts 1:8 But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.  They have known that this could only be true if God brought it about.  This sounds like fiveamprayer!  Expect the unexpected, by faith.  Prayer is preparation for doing, but far too often we want to be busy doing things without adequate preparation and prayer--to our shame.  Today's church does little of this upper room kind of praying.  Often effectively going through the motions, instead of really doing business with God in prayer.  Often we do it as a formality, to ask for God's stamp of approval on things we have already decided to do--all of this without seeking His face.  Often it involves little or no sense of the total inadequacies and utter need of resources that are not our own.  Christ condemned the church in Revelations--because they thought it had all the resources that it needed when in fact is was wretched, miserable, poor, blind and naked in the things that truly mattered to God.  Revelation 3:17-18 17 Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked: 18 I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see.  This is what the upper room remnant was doing on one accord.  Prayer.  It is a a part of our unity.  As we lift our hearts and our voices together to God like the inspired writer of Acts, Luke wrote in, Acts 1:14  These all continued with one accord in prayer and supplication, with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brethren.  Acts 2:1  And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place.  In these two verses he shares that they were gathered together on one accord.  We come to gather on one accord, fiveamprayer!  Lord we pray that we would continue on one accord!  Lord have us to grow on one accord.  As the Holy Spirit illuminates the scriptures for us as we cast down imaginations on Monday--it changed our mindset.  We are the remnant on one accord--like minded in God's word!  Amen!
Let me tell you when you get  a people on one accord to call on God, nothing is impossible for them!  Nehemiah 4:6 So built we the wall; and all the wall was joined together unto the half thereof: for the people had a mind to work.  Look at what people on one accord can do!  We are in this together, fiveamprayer!  We stand on one accord on the promises of our great and mighty God--Nehemiah 4:14 And I looked, and rose up, and said unto the nobles, and to the rulers, and to the rest of the people, Be not ye afraid of them: remember the Lord, which is great and terrible, and fight for your brethren, your sons, and your daughters, your wives, and your houses.  Our God is so awesome!  There is none like Him!  2 Chronicles 20:6 And said, O Lord God of our fathers, art not thou God in heaven? and rulest not thou over all the kingdoms of the heathen? and in thine hand is there not power and might, so that none is able to withstand thee?  One mind, one body, one language all in the upper room--the remnant, they got together in preparation for the Holy Spirit to fall on them!  To receive the power to heal and cast out demons!  Matthew 18:20  For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.  Fiveamprayer, He is in the midst! We have gathered together to call on the name of Jesus! He is our Intercessor with the Father! He is asking God to pour down power on us! For we are asking You on one accord, for the impossible. Keep pressing and pulling on Him! Grasp on to Him, latch on to Him, hold fast to Him! He alone has your healing, your peace, your joy, and rest for your soul! God, You said if we called that You would answer us! We are to pray and not faint. Some times we are to pray and fast.  Ephesians 6:18 Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints.  We can pray for the mountain to be cast into the sea!  Thank You God!  They were in the upper room, the remnant all in one place speaking one language--on one accord.  They were praying and seeking His face.  Do you need deliverance?  Do you need healing?  Do you need joy?  Do you need peace?  Get it right now, we are in the upper room!  Thank You for having us prepare by laying aside every weight that so easily besets us!  God has taken us to a new dimension in Him, we are beyond the veil--everything can't come in with you!  You are in the upper room, fiveamprayer!  We have not because you ask not!  You are at the Father's feet, make your request.  Lord, we ask that You cover our children, our marriages, send us healing.  We want to be closer to You!  We are to pray and not faint!  We shall reap the harvest if we faint not.  Fiveamprayer we are pulling and chasing after God!  We need You Lord!  Only Your ways are right and good!  Some of us are putting our children on the alter, while others of us are putting ourselves on the alter.  We come to ask You to have Your way God!  We want more of You God and less of us!  We need You Lord!  Fill us with Your Holy Spirit!  More and more of You God--we are in the upper room, the remnant!  God is moving when the house is still, so early in the morning!  Get into His presence and hear from Him!  The Lord is in the temple, let all the earth be silent.  He is moving and asking what do you need?  Look at what happens when we are on one accord!  That we gather together to seek His face.  He is wrapping His arms around this prayer circle, thank You God!  2 Chronicles 7:14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.  God put us on one accord this morning!  Your breakthrough was depending on us getting on one accord--together calling out to Jesus!  Matthew 18:19 Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven.   He is our healer!  Hebrews 11:6 But without faith it is impossible 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.  Fiveamprayer, He has already made us free!  In your finances, what do you need?  He is Jehovah Jireh!  He is moving in your ministry, through you!  Every petition that you send up, touching and agreeing--it is already done!  No doubt or fear!  Believe to receive it!  We are in the upper room.  We are the remnant, on one accord.  Can you imagine James, John, Peter and everyone else--when they got together in one place, with one purpose, on one accord to seek His face!?  They were all expecting from God!  Thank You Lord that You do not disappoint!  Won't He show up?!  What power!  What peace!  What love!  Thank You God, You are so good to us!  Thank You for loving us like this, Jesus!  What a holy and worthy God, You are!  Just to be in His presence and us all calling on the name of Jesus!  That we gather together to hear His word!   And the Lord said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do.  What have you been expecting from God?  Fiveamprayer is one--nothing will be restrained from us, whatever we imagine to do!  Expect the unexpected, by faith!  His grace is sufficient!  We are the remnant, on one accord like those in the upper room calling on God, on one accord.  Your breakthrough happens today!  Deliverance, healing--it all happens today!  Nothing is restrained from us--because we believe and we are one.  The people is one, nothing will be restrained from them--straight from God's lips!  Psalm 23:6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.    He is showing us His glory!  When you get together and pull on God--when you grasp onto Him, clinging to Him, fastened on to Him--with no plans of ever letting go-- certainly gets His attention.  This is telling Him that no one else can do this but, You God.  2 Chronicles 20:6  And said, O Lord God of our fathers, art not thou God in heaven? and rulest not thou over all the kingdoms of the heathen? and in thine hand is there not power and might, so that none is able to withstand thee?  God will answer!  2 Chronicles 20:15 And he said, Hearken ye, all Judah, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem, and thou king Jehoshaphat, Thus saith the Lord unto you, Be not afraid nor dismayed by reason of this great multitude; for the battle is not yours, but God's.  Fiveamprayer, in unity God commands the blessings!  They came down and said the people are one--they will accomplish whatever they imagined to do!  The people is one!  Shout victory, right now!  We have been waiting and seeking Him!  We aren't letting go until You bless us Lord!  We are on one accord!  Thank You God!  Thank You Holy Spirit!  Hallelujah God!  To hear this again click here.


We seal this prayer in His precious blood, by His Spirit:  It is already done!


Welcome to the overflow...
Victory today is ours!  It is already done.  Already finished!  Thank You Holy Spirit!  When the enemy comes in like a flood, God lifts up a standard against it!  No weapon formed against us shall prosper!  Thank You Holy Spirit!  Thank You God!  When we all get together on one accord--God moves!  Behold the people are one!  God is looking down on us smiling right now!  What a mighty move of God.  We just want to stay in Your presence.  They were gathered together in the upper room. Thank You God for Your power.  James, John and the others were human just like us.  Get into position and believe God's word.  Like Joshua asking the sun and the moon to stand still.  God is no respecter of persons--certainly we can ask for healing and deliverance!  One mindset, praying and seeking His face!  Thank You Lord!  Visit us on facebook and keep your mind stayed on God, that we stay on one accord.  Have a blessed day!  Amen!

Cast Down Imaginations, Before They Tear You Up.


2 Corinthians 10:3-6; Galatians 6:7-8; 2 Timothy 3:5, 16; Romans 16:17-18; 1 John 4:1; Matthew 11:28-30; Hosea 10:12; Proverbs 4:7, 18:15; Ephesians 6:17; John 14:6; Romans 8:31; 1 Corinthians 10:13; Matthew 12:25; Philippians 4:8
    

We are walking in today: 
Cast Down Imaginations, Before They Tear You Up.
 
2 Corinthians 10:3-6 3 For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: 4 (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) 5 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; 6 And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled.  A lot of things  we deal with is only in our imaginations!  Which if we are not careful become a stronghold.  For we walk in the flesh but we don not war after the flesh. Our weapons are not carnal but mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds.  We must cast down imaginations and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God.  Fiveamprayer bring into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ!  Having readiness to revenge all disobedience.  Stronghold means to fortify through the idea of holding safely.  So that sometimes that thing, we have built up and fortified in our lives now, it is hard for us to move it.  Some strongholds are good, those built up by the word of God, are good!  Those against the word are harmful.  The thing is that they are like planting a tree.  While it is still small it is easy to bend and mold.  But that tree gets to be 25 to 30 years old, it cannot be bent!  The roots are deep and become a major project to move.  Growing strongholds, Galatians 6:7-8 7 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. 8 For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.  One of the most basic principles taught in the Bible is that of sowing and reaping.  It goes like this.  Sow an action and reap a habit.  It has been shown to take about 21 days to tear down one and start another better one.   We start with one cigarette, one drink, one cuss word  and then it leads to another and another.  Eventually we have a full blown stronghold on our hands--with all the rights and privileges that come with them.  Like cancer and cirrhosis of the liver, diabetes,  ect.  We did this to ourselves. We can not dare blame the devil for it!  We must tear down strong holds.  We have negative strongholds in our life and we need to get rid of them!  Let me tell you that you can go on and try to work it out yourself. But God has to deliver you!  Yes, you did this yourself over time and and it usually takes time for us to get to the point of deliverance.  To go through the process to get to the point of, 2 Corinthians 10:5-6 5 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; 6 And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled.  We must cast down imaginations and faulty reasoning.  How many times have you had thoughts just come up in your mind?  Half of the time because we think of things, it does not mean that it is the truth.  A lot of times we get caught up in our imaginations!   Simple things like a sister passes you by at church and you feel a certain way in your mind.  All because she didn't speak or how she looked at you.  God did not call us to walk in our feelings nor our wild imaginations, we are to cast down offense and it's running mate of division!  2 Timothy 3:5, 16 5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.  16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness.  Romans 16:17-18 17 Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them. 18 For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple.  1 John 4:1 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.   All of a sudden you are caught up in you imagination!  Cast it down!  We can't deal with other people's imaginations--what they think or what they feel.  It is all in their minds! When God's word says to cast down imaginations, we have gotta cast them down!  That is another way the enemy uses weapons against you.  We have to remember that our weapons are not carnal but mighty to the pulling down of strongholds!  You better bring every thought to captivity to Christ!  The carnal reasoning of the mind of the natural man is against God, has providence and purpose against Christ and the method of salvation.  Every thought of the gospel which are all disproved silence and confounded by the preaching of the word.  Which through reckoning the foolishness and weakness of God appears to be wiser and stronger than men!  And where by the wisdom of the wise is destroyed and the understanding of the prudent brought to nothing.  We must  destroy the yolk of bondage.  Those yolks of bondage will be destroyed--because of the anointing!  Matthew 11:28-30 28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light. 
It is not enough to just destroy the old yolks, we must take up new ones. A proper one, one that is a benefit to us. Replacing wrong strongholds with proper, strong holds.   Hosea 10:12 Sow to yourselves in righteousness, reap in mercy; break up your fallow ground: for it is time to seek the Lord, till he come and rain righteousness upon you. Once you get rid of the stronghold, our hearts may seem hard and broken. But it is just fallow. We need to turn it and get it ready for the right seed. Fiveamprayer, sow to yourself righteousness, reap mercy, break up your fallow ground. Cast down imaginations before they tear you up!
Don't you know that the enemy comes to steal, kill and destroy!  You better cast down those imaginations before it tears you up!    All those thoughts of what if this and what if that are pure imagination. We are to be transformed by the renewing of our minds!  So then we know where to check--are you in His word?  Are you studying to show yourself approved?  We know that we are not just to learn but to come into the knowledge of truth!  Proverbs 4:7 Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding. Proverbs 18:15 The heart of the prudent getteth knowledge; and the ear of the wise seeketh knowledge. We battle not after the flesh!  Seek the Lord, He will show you which way to go.  What is in your mind?  What are you wrestling with?  Aren't you tired of the enemy working on your mind?  Ephesians 6:17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.  Fiveamprayer are you putting on the whole armor of God?  Are you wielding the sword of the Spirit?  Are you speaking life and casting down those things that are against God?  We must follow only where God leads us.  Only His way is true!  John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.  God is true, the devil is a liar!  Romans 8:31  What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?  We are not to fight in this battle, God has made us the head and not the tail--we are above only never beneath!  His thoughts and plans are not like ours.  We must cast down every imagination!  We put ourselves in situations from not casting down those imaginations.  We must crucify our flesh!  Tell yourself that you will keep pressing toward the prize of the high calling in Christ Jesus!  Bring every thought captive to the knowledge of Christ!  God know the plans that He has for you, plans for good not of evil to give you an expected end!  The word expect is defined, to look forward;  to consider probable or certain; to consider reasonable, due, or necessary;  to consider bound in duty or obligated.  What that sounds like to me is a specific thing to be the ending outcome.  That God does not have plans for us the are unsure or questionable!  They are sure and confirmed by His own power!  When we truly rely and trust on God, those thoughts that are out of line stick out and are easily cast down!  We must keep our mind stayed on Him that we are in His perfect peace.  This is not to say those wayward thoughts won't come but they are not so easily able to sneak in!  Much like a clean floor is marred by muddy footprints will stand out in greater contrast than if the floor was already filthy.  What is on and in your mind fiveamprayer? Are those errant thoughts in like company or do they stand out in the midst of your mediation of God's word?  Fiveamprayer, guard and keep your minds on God's word and the plans that God has for you for an specific, planned and secured end for our lives!  Get out of your flesh, that is how you got into many of the situations that you are in.  This is our year to ask for the impossible!  We can be like Joshua and ask for the impossible, sun and moon stand still!  He will do it!  His grace is sufficient for us!  We must guard our thoughts, on their own will take us to a place of no peace.  Keep your mind stayed on Him, to stay in perfect peace!  Cast down imaginations before they have you in a stronghold.  1 Corinthians 10:13 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.  Our steps are ordered by the Lord!  We must line up with His word!  No matter what it looks like!  Seek God and follow His word.  His thoughts are not like our thoughts!  Cast down imagination before it tears you up.  The devil plants a seed in your mind.  Don't be disobedient!  Don't get caught up in a stronghold that you can't easily get out of!  Cast down every imagination!  Your next move can have you walking in disobedience.  Every thought is to be captive to Christ!  The devil wants to paralyze your relationship with God.  With Him directly or through others.  Matthew 12:25 And Jesus knew their thoughts, and said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand.  We are to come together and stand on His word, but how can you when you let your imagination run wild?  Causing division over imagined errors and offenses.  Now they are mad at you because you are mad at them for an imagined thing?  How crazy is that?!  Not even a true or real offense but a fictitious, false lie that is causing confusion and isolation.  So when we see that we know that it is an attack of the enemy.  Who is the father of lies, who likes to bring confusion and try to get us isolated from the word and other believers who will speak life.  So when those thoughts are still seeds, cast them out, do not allow them to take root and grow!  No more rehearsing the bad things--what are you focusing on?  Where is your attention at?  Stop feeding and watering those seeds of error!  Don't be disobedient nor caught up in a stronghold that you can't easily get out of.  Cast down every imagination!  If not, your next thought could have you walking in disobedience!  Bring every thought into captivity to Christ!  Everything that comes against the knowledge of God is from the devil.  Immediately cast it down!  Only seek those who are like you and deal in the truth!  The devil is trying to get you caught up in your mind!  Philippians 4:8 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.  Cast down imaginations before it tears you up!  God told us that we will not have to fight in this battle and yet many of us are still fighting!  He told us to stand still and see the salvation of the Lord with us!  Fiveamprayer, set yourself stand ye still and see the salvation of the Lord with you!  Tomorrow go out against them for the Lord your God will be with you!  It is in your mind!  We are to be transformed by the renewing of our minds!  Those unchecked imaginations will lead to strongholds--it all starts in your mind.  What you sow you will reap!  When those errant thoughts come up cast them down immediately!  What you think on over and over again becomes a action.  When you keep feeding a desire, it will become an action.  Cast down every imagination!  We war not against flesh and blood, but in the spirit!  We walk by faith and not by sight!  We are living in the last days.  The enemy is still coming in your mind.  Stop feeding those thoughts, they will become actions.  Don't let anything separate you from the love of Christ!  Watch your thoughts, they can separate you.  Thank You Lord for this mind-check this morning!  Cast down imaginations before it tears you up.  Don't act on your emotions or thoughts that are not of God.  It will tear you up.  Our weapons are mighty to the pulling down of strongholds!  Cast down imaginations and bring all thoughts to captivity to Christ.  We gotta get this--it is your mindset.  Be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind!  Without a renewed mind in His word, your next step will be out of the will of God.  Change your mindset and line up with His word!  Set yourself and see the salvation of the Lord with you.  We are not to fight in this battle--set yourselves and see the salvation of the Lord with you!   This battle is not ours it is the Lord's!  The enemy is coming against our minds.  Bring every though into captivity to Christ!  We are not fighting against flesh and blood!  Keep trusting God and believing what His word says!  Thank You Lord for coming to let us know, the enemy is coming against our minds.  Bring into captivity to Christ our thoughts and trust God!  Be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind!  We lift up prayer requests to You, Lord.  Someone's next move was going to move them out of position.  We must cast down every imagination!  His thoughts are not our thoughts!  We want to get in our flesh and thoughts, we repent this morning we have a changed mindset.  We cast down imaginations before they trip us up!  Thank You For Your favor!  Thank You God for coming to teach us!  Thank You for forgiving and teaching us to forgive others that we too are forgiven.  Thank You for casting our sins away into the sea that they are remembered no more.

We seal this prayer in His precious blood, by His Spirit:  I am casting down every imagination that brings itself against the knowledge of God!


Welcome to the overflow...

It's Time To Put The Word Into Action!

John 5:1-9; James 1:23-25; Isaiah 55:8-9;  Matthew 15:8; James 4:8; Psalm 119:2; John 2:3-5; Matthew 6:21; Psalm 118:23  

Scripture Look-up:  Mark 8:22-25

 
We are walking in today:  It's Time To Put The Word Into Action!



James 1:23-25 23 For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass: 24 For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was. 25 But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.  We must walk in truth as God told us on yesterday.  Put the word into action.  When we begin to walk in God's truth we are set free.  Putting the word into action means standing on the truth.  It is important to listen to what God's word says.  But much more important is to obey it and do what it says!  Do you put into action what you have studied?  Get an action plan, take the next step to walk in truth.  The hardest step to take is the first step.  Sometimes you are looking at your life and say you gotta get to step 20.  Looking at 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13...all the way up to 20, right?  You know that you need to get to 20, but the hardest step to take is the first one.  You can't even get off of step one.  You can't even walk out by faith.  Because there are so many things that are easily besetting you.  We must get unstuck.  We can not remain paralyzed after knowing the truth.  No more excuses!  You must work in truth!  Listen to the man by the pool.  We all got excuses, why we can't take the next step.  This must not be the season.  We got all kinds of excuses  not to walk in the favor of God.  But I tell you one thing--I am not gonna miss God for nobody!  John 5:1-9 1 After this there was a feast of the Jews; and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. 2 Now there is at Jerusalem by the sheep market a pool, which is called in the Hebrew tongue Bethesda, having five porches. 3 In these lay a great multitude of impotent folk, of blind, halt, withered, waiting for the moving of the water. 4 For an angel went down at a certain season into the pool, and troubled the water: whosoever then first after the troubling of the water stepped in was made whole of whatsoever disease he had. 5 And a certain man was there, which had an infirmity thirty and eight years. 6 When Jesus saw him lie, and knew that he had been now a long time in that case, he saith unto him, Wilt thou be made whole? 7 The impotent man answered him, Sir, I have no man, when the water is troubled, to put me into the pool: but while I am coming, another steppeth down before me. 8 Jesus saith unto him, Rise, take up thy bed, and walk. 9 And immediately the man was made whole, and took up his bed, and walked: and on the same day was the sabbath.  No more excuses!  God is ready for you to walk in truth!  Stand up, pick up your mat!  What is your mat today?  Dead relationships?  Doubt?  Fear?  Whatever it is, you need to stop waiting for someone else to take the next step for you.  The word says the man was healed instantly.  See when you take that first step, that is your instant blessing.  When you take that next step that is your instant freedom!  He is waiting for you to take the next step.  Where is your plan of action?  Your blessing is in your next step.  God has been  waiting to bless you, instantly.  Truth will make you free.  Even when you find yourself in a place where your yes is surrounded by no's.  Anybody in that place right now?  You know what God is saying and it sounds good--ask God for the impossible, expect the unexpected by faith.  All you got to do is to ask God, but you are saying to yourself right now--I am a believer, I have been pressed.  I know I have been going through but let me tell the truth and be real with you.  All of my yes' are surrounded by no's!  What are you gonna do?  Take the next step!  How bad do you want it?  We are walking in ask God for the impossible.  Take the next step.  Be truthful with yourself.  I know the truth in this season!  God has said yes to every prayer request, that we have made.  But it looks like no's all around us.  That is the deception of the enemy!  It is harvest time!  The earth is ripe!  We are experiencing heaven on earth!  We are speaking those things that be not as through they are!  Tell the enemy, God is blessing my finances abundantly!  He is my provider!  This is my time!  I have a plan to shut you down, devil!  You are a liar!  I am walking in the truth!  I have taken the next step to victory!  It is time to put the word into action!  If you listen to the word and not obey is like looking into the mirror and seeing yourself and then turn around and forget what you look like.  Don't forget you will know the truth and the truth will make you free!  God is sending us another how to message.  How do you walk in truth?  Put the word into action!  All you have to do is seek God's face.  Obey His word,  and don't forget His word!  He is a deliverer.  Know that He is the God of truth!  Know if God says it, He will do it!  Know that God is a rewarder to them that diligently seek Him!  Know that God brought you to it and will bring you through it!  But do you have a action plan?  Are you putting your plan in action?  Are you taking the next step?  How bad do you want it?  Even if your yes is surrounded by no's--how bad do you want it?  I got an action plan!  Begin this morning, I am gonna pray without ceasing!  I am gonna stand  on God's word.  I am gonna trust and believe God's word.  He will open up a window and pour you out a blessing that there won't be room enough to receive it all!  I choose to believe that I am walking in overflow blessings.  I choose to believe in the 1,000 fold return.  I choose to believe that this is harvest time.  I choose to believe that this is my season!  I choose to believe that I can expect the unexpected by faith!  Take the next step! 
We walk by faith and not by sight!  We must not worry about what it looks like.  His plans are not our plans.  Nor His thoughts like our thoughts.  Isaiah 55:8-9  For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord. 9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.  Tell God that you are ready to walk on water.  How do you walk on water, fiveamprayer by faith!  God had the scales fall off of our eyes on yesterday, when He revealed the truth!  We are closer to Him than ever before!  Take the next step.  Don't keep walking  in every excuse.  Don't you want it?  Take the next step!  The man was instantly healed by Jesus!  The same man that had been laying by the pool for 38 years, how long have you been waiting?  God is saying to us to take the next step.  It is time to get unstuck!  He has positioned you in a new place.  He is taking you to a new dimension in Him!  Take the next step.  Don't worry about what people have to say.  There will always be haters and nay-sayers!  Let them be your motivators!  We are walking with God and our steps are ordered by Him!  We must take the next step.  Do you believe?  Do you want to be healed?  How bad do you want it?  Enough to push through a crowd?  Enough to speak to a man alone at the well?  Enough to run on ahead and climb a tree to see?  Are you willing to move to hear and see God more clearly?  Matthew 15:8 This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from meJames 4:8 Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded.   We must have one mind in the one and only God!   Psalm 119:2 Blessed are they that keep his testimonies, and that seek him with the whole heart.  God is bidding you to come, to launch out to the deep, to cast your net on the other side.  Where there is faith, there is action!  When Peter knew that it was Jesus out on the water, he bid Him to have him to come to Him.  Are you seeking after God once He is revealed to you?  Get out of bondage and walk out on the water.  Get untangled and focused on the knowledge of truth that you learned yesterday.  It is time to walk out of that dead relationship.  Take the next step and write a plan of action.  Faith without works is dead.  God has been coming on this line breathing on us, that our faith would be revived.  God comes by to give our faith CPR--that our faith with this refreshing breath of God will carry us forward.  We are the just and that is how we are to live.  It does not have to look or have the approval of man--our approval is of Him!  Many of us would say that we are waiting on God and all the while God is waiting for you to get into action!  What have you done that God can move on?  Like Christ who asks a question before healing them and getting a response from them.  Our response is to take the next step.  Are we walking that thing out in faith?  Staying in motion in the plan that God has given you?  Are you looking to Him or all around you?  Keep your eyes on God and be not distracted by the storm--that is when Peter began to sink when he took his eyes off of Jesus.  Don't you know God is your keeper in the middle of a tsunami or on dry land!  Our God changes not!  So don't let your natural eyes take away what God is able to do.  You have seen it yourself so many times, God making things work out.  Where the confession of all who witnessed it--it was nobody, but God!  You know the truth, walk out of that dead relationship, take the next step.  Write a plan of action and walk it out!  Faith with out works is dead.  You are waiting on God and God is waiting on you!  Know the truth and be made free!  When you encounter the truth, you can not remain the same.  The wool is no longer over your eyes!  Jesus comes to heal our blindness that we see clearly! (Mark 8:22-25)  How long have you been sitting by the pool saying everybody is getting blessed but me?  Get out of self and take the next step.  It is not about you, it is all about God!   Pick up your word and walk it out!  Take three steps in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost!  All the while saying over and over again I trust You Lord!  I believe You Lord!  I am taking the next step!  We must keep pressing toward the mark reaching for the things that are before us!  Take the next step!  We must forget the things which are behind.  We are looking in the direction that we want to go!  Look forward and take the next step!  Put the plan into action!  Hallelujah God!  Even like the woman with an issue of blood, you may have to crawl for your next step.  Jesus is moving and you will miss Him if you don't get moving.  The woman had to press through the crowd, forgetting what was behind and focused on what was before her!  When she got to Him she fastened on to Him.  As the Hebrew word touch is translated.  We must really grasp onto God.  To hold on and not let go!  Fiveamprayer have a firm grip on God and His word!  That is what is keeping you and will continue to keep you!  No it does not look right to your natural eyes but that is just the enemy disguising your season.  The devil is trying to show you all these problems that you have, in your marriage, with your children, in your body.  But the truth is that it all belongs to God and He is responsible for it all.  We must look to Him to find what He is going to do about it.  John 2:3-5 3 And when they wanted wine, the mother of Jesus saith unto him, They have no wine. 4 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, what have I to do with thee? mine hour is not yet come. 5 His mother saith unto the servants, Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it.  That is how we turn worry into prayer!  Thank you God!  We have got to really learn to take the problem, issue or concern to He who has the answers!  How many people who are in need of a doctor's care seek out a gardener for help?  So why would you seek out a friend who can only share their opinion for what you are going through.  You need to hear from God, if not in prayer or His word being shared by someone else--that they would speak life to what appears dead to your natural sight.  We must not be distracted or have a divided focus.  God is a jealous God.  Where are you spending your time?  What is getting your attention?  What is the first thought in your head?  Does God get the left overs or is He just a mere passing thought?  No longer seek everything else but God!  Get in His word and let it to get into you.  Soak it up, your spirit man is thirsty for a long drink!  Things feeling too heavy for you, have you laid aside every weight that so easily besets you?  Keep praying and trusting God in every area, in your marriage, with your children, on your job and in your finances.  We have to get a revelation--God is telling us this over and over again so that we get it.  How many times is a child told something before they get it and walk according to that direction?  We are His children and He wants us to walk according to His word!  That is what God keeps giving, us that gentle correction, by His word.  For those of us more wayward, a less gentle but still loving word.  If your child is in the street with a car coming, would there not be urgency in your voice for them to come back to safety?  All the while rushing to them to protect them.  God is here and shows up more everyday on this line.  Open your ears and your heart, He is not hard to hear, but some of us are hard to listen!  Shake yourself, is it time to walk this out with God!  Heaven and earth shall pass away, but His word shall never pass away!  Don't set up your treasures here on earth.  Send up your treasures to your heavenly account, where they won't tarnish nor fade!  Matthew 6:21 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.  It we would just really grasp a hold and seek God!  We get up at 5am but are not seeking Him!  We must seek Him to find Him.  How in 2013 when He told us to ask for the impossible to expect the unexpected by faith--you are not seeking Him?  That is why you are not hearing from Him.  Get into His presence and draw closer to Him.  So many believers say that are not hearing from Him.  While God is answering our very thoughts--God is here!  Seek Him and find Him--period!  This is not just looking when you feel like it.  Do you only breathe when you feel light headed?  No, of course not!  When you are in the fire, keep seeking Him.  You will find that there is a fourth man in the fire with you.  Seek Him through it all!  Be content in the state that you are in.  His grace is sufficient!  Through the good and the bad, He works all things together for our good!  Keep seeking Him, it is about His purpose and His plan, not yours.  It is God who supplies all of our needs according to His riches in glory.  Why would you seek any thing or any one else?  We must take the next step and they are all towards the Lord!  They are all with the Lord!  We must walk in nevertheless, Thy will be done!  Take the next step.  The Lord is our Shepherd and has the staff and the rod.  Sometimes we need one or the other to get back in line.  Thank You God for caring enough to line us up with Your word.  Stop choosing to walk this alone. Walking with the Lord, our joy is returned.  Now you are walking in peace and healing.  I am lining up with Your plan.  No more being double-minded.  He gives us spiritual vision and takes us higher in Him!  Take the next step in the name of the Father, Son and the Holy Spirit.  Thank You God!  How can you walk in truth but not take the next step?  You have been sitting by the pool for too long.  How many years have you been sitting there, waiting on God?  While God has been waiting on you to get in motion.  We lift up fiveamprayer, this morning, deliver them, they have hands lifted, yielding unto You!  Take me Lord just as I am!  You are the potter and I am the clay, shape, make and mold me!  I am taking the next step in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit!  I need You Lord, no more walking alone or sitting by the pool and wasting time.  Get healing and be set free by God!  He does not come to spectate!  I am walking with You Lord!  We lift up prayer requests, keep walking with Jesus.  Keep believing and trusting in Him!  Take another step in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit!  We come to lay on our faces this morning, we come to repent.  We had been walking in what we thought.  It is God's plans and thoughts that actually count.  Forgive us, Lord!  Cast our sins into the sea that they be remembered no more.  Thank You for freeing us of the guilt of those sins.  Thank You for teaching us to forgive others that we too are forgiven.  Fiveamprayer, be not lame nor blind.  We see Your glory.  Thank You for this how to word, so that we are no longer stuck.  Teaching us how to get up and take the next step!  To listen to this again click here.

We seal this prayer in His precious blood, by His Spirit:  Take the next step in the name of the Father, Son and the Holy Spirit.  Fiveamprayer is pressing forward to what is before and forgetting what is behind!


Welcome to the overflow...
Even when your yes is surrounded by no's--take the next step.  You are like the woman with the issue of blood, who tried everything else.  Now go get your healing, and trust Jesus!  Be fastened onto His presence, His word!  You know that healing is in Him!  We can't hear this word and not obey?!  You have been looking for direction from all of your wandering around and God comes with direction and you choose to remain lost?  We must come out from among them!  You are not spiritually malnourished, God has been feeding us His word for some time now!  Seek Him and find Him!  Go back and listen to this again over the weekend.  Get an action plan, walk in what God told you to do!  Stop waiting for man's approval, you have the highest approval from God.  Take the next step, proceed with your action plan!  John 5:9-16 shows that if Jesus waited for man's approval the man by the pool could not be healed on that day.  God is the maker of all things and is not bound to the rules or regulations of man--that is an effective response to the approval of man and that sea of no's that are surrounding your yes.  A little with God is much--the mustard seed into the tree that is home to birds.  There is nothing too hard for Him.  Stop looking for the things of the world.  Open your eyes, God. Is. Right. Here!  As He has always been here!  This is the time to chase after Him!  Pursue and get after what He has promised you.  Thank You God for this day!  What a mighty God we serve!  Only He can put this all together in such a powerful way!  All the glory goes to the Lord--Psalm 118:23 This is the Lord's doing; it is marvellous in our eyes.
  Thank You God!  Taste and see that the Lord is good!  God is with you!  Walk in the word of God all weekend long!  Each step you take say, in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.  I am walking with God!  Thank You Lord!  Have a supernatural weekend!  Amen, amen!

Always Learning, But Never Coming Into The Knowledge Of Truth.

Proverbs 18:15; Timothy 3:7;  Philippians 4:9,11; Hebrews 5:8, 6:1; Psalm 25:5, 26:3, 43:3, 119:160; Hebrews 6:12; Numbers 23:19; Matthew 6:24; John 8:31-33; Isaiah 55:3; Romans 10:17; Isaiah 55:2; Psalm 101:7; Proverbs 18:22; Ephesians 4:23; Philippians 2:5; James 5:16;  1 John 1:9; 2 Corinthians 6:17  

Scripture look up: Isaiah 55; Job 29:14 Isaiah 28:5, 62:3

We are walking in today:  Always Learning, But Never Coming Into The Knowledge Of Truth.



Proverbs 18:15  The heart of the prudent getteth knowledge; and the ear of the wise seeketh knowledge.  Timothy 3:7 Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. Take a selah moment and think about that.  The definition of learn is to come to know or realize, acquire knowledge, skills or behavioral tendency.  God keeps showing up with the truth!  When are you going to realize and come to know that He is God?  The truth is we are never to worry but to pray about everything!  The only way our faith is going to work is we must come into the knowledge of truth.  We never look at what we see, faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God!  The truth is, are you really hearing or listening?  There is a difference!  Philippians 4:9 Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you. 11 Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content.  When are you going  to learn to be confident with whatever you have?  Paul said, His grace is sufficient.  Always learning but never but coming to the knowledge of truth.  The truth is obedience is better than sacrifice.  Are you obeying His word?  Hebrews 5:8 Though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered.  There goes that word, suffer again.  The truth is, we will suffer but we will win in the end.  Yes, I win!  Hebrews 6:1 Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfection; not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God.  The word truth is defined as properly as a statement of being in an accord with fact or reality--natural and spiritual, sincerity in action, character and utterance.  The truth is, let your yea be yea and your nay be your nay.  Walk in truth!  Psalm 25:5 Lead me in thy truth, and teach me: for thou art the God of my salvation; on thee do I wait all the day. Psalm 26:3 For thy lovingkindness is before mine eyes: and I have walked in thy truth. Psalm 43:3 O send out thy light and thy truth: let them lead me; let them bring me unto thy holy hill, and to thy tabernacles. Psalm 119:160 Thy word is true from the beginning: and every one of thy righteous judgments endureth for ever.  The very essence of God's word is truth!  Always learning but never coming to the knowledge of truth!  Get wisdom, knowledge and understanding--in all thy getting get an understanding!
God comes by with a word this morning that is mostly meat.  Are you only walking in truth?  The truth of God is the Holy Spirit who leads and guides us.  Hebrews 6:12 That ye be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises.  We are not to waiver nor be slothful, fiveamprayer!  Do you know who you are in Christ?  Through Christ we can do all things!  Why would we be in doubt or in fear?  No matter how the enemy comes to attack--we are to fear not.  Walk in truth and not the enemies lies.  Numbers 23:19 God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?  With all that God has told us, we know to be true.  We must not be deceived or distracted!  He reveals His truth to you.  Walk in truth and stop walking in all that hell that the lies have brought you.  Those that keep doing the same wrong thing and expecting a better result.  Ask God because His word lets us know that we have not because we ask not.  We don't have to keep struggling in that thing, in our own strength.  Give it over to God--He has so much better for you.  Go have a conversation with Him and find out what He has to say about you!  His thoughts and plans are much better than our greatest dreams.  We have to walk this out in patience and know that God knows all and sees all.  All of our plans, plots and schemes to get what we think we want that is not really God's best for us.  Let us no longer buy into that lie and really look into the heart of the matter to find out the truth!  Much of the power of lies is in the deception or distortion of the truth wrapped up in the desires of the flesh.  Getting out of the flesh and looking at this with a spiritual eye will reveal the true intention.  Similarly to what Pastor Reeding shared, with us on yesterday the characteristic of a python that will move slowly and wrap it's body around it's prey and then will begin to squeeze the life out of them.  Many of the lies that we walk in or have walked in were much smaller to start or seemed manageable, until it started to overtake us and began to squeeze.  If  we only accepted the lie that is wrong outright there would not be a need for so much trickery, but as time goes on, there is less and less misleading.  Many of us have taken the reigns and are steering ourselves into our own deception!  We have got to know as God's beloved He does not want us to be at the mercy of anything or anyone but Him!  One of the definitions of mercy is, wholly in the power of : with no way to protect oneself against.  With God being for us, we should only allow God to have total power in our lives!  We were told to allow God total access--could that be why He told us last Monday to stop denying Him access?!  Matthew 6:24 No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.  It is not that you got yourself in a fix that is the biggest problem, it is that you are not going to God to get you out!  Seeking people of God that can pray you out, that can stand and agree with you for for deliverance from that thing!  We have got to check ourselves, any area that we are not walking in truth make that correction and get out of that lie!  John 8:31-33 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. 33 They answered him, We be Abraham's seed, and were never in bondage to any man: how sayest thou, Ye shall be made free?  We must open our eyes to see what has us in bondage, what lie are you running to keep up with?  What is it that God said to let go or not do that you have or are still doing?  Be free, Christ paid for it with His precious blood for us not to be bound to lies and deceit.  We are made in His image and likeliness, we are to look more and more like Him!  Are you walking in truth?  The truth will make you free!  Get out of bondage, it is time, fiveamprayer, to let our spirit man rise up and tell our flesh to shut up!  Isaiah 55:3 Incline your ear, and come unto me: hear, and your soul shall live; and I will make an everlasting covenant with you, even the sure mercies of David.  Thank You God for Your word, but we must hear it, it must be on the inside of us!  Romans 10:17 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of GodIsaiah 55:2 Wherefore do ye spend money for that which is not bread? and your labour for that which satisfieth not? hearken diligently unto me, and eat ye that which is good, and let your soul delight itself in fatness.  Why continue in that thing that is not producing anything good?!  Nothing, it does not satisfy, which left unchecked could lead you to other things that only compound the problem?!  God came that we would have life and that more abundantly.  Being caught up in all those lies is not the abundant life, hiding and hoping no one finds out about what is going on.  Trying to cover your tracks and keep up good appearances--sounds like the root of deception to me!  Until it all comes crashing down and all you are left with is a heap of rubble.  That is when you find out who is still there, who is still beckoning you, who is still loving you.  Thank You God!  Don't miss God!  Be not deceived, He is knocking at the door!  God is speaking but many are saying I can't hear God.  We must walk in truth!  He is coming back for a church without spot or blemish.  Not even the smallest lie is allowed!  Psalm 101:7  He that worketh deceit shall not dwell within my house: he that telleth lies shall not tarry in my sight.  Check yourself, fiveamprayer!  We must study to show ourselves approved!  We have to come into the knowledge of all truth!  You don't need the approval of man!  By now you should be teachers, out making disciples!  What did God tell you to do?  Until you do what God told you to do, you are not walking in truth!  There is stuff and people that are hindering you.  But you are still dragging that baggage behind you.  We are to pray without ceasing!  Seek Him in His word!  Don't be a Bible scholar and not know the truth!   Stop misquoting the Bible!  We have to study and know the word for ourselves, there are many false prophets that are trying to mislead you.  We are not moving and growing due to living a lie.  Shacking up or being with someone who is already married--it is all a lie!  God is coming back for a church without spot or blemish.  Get it together!  We must repent.  He will forgive us.  You must come into the knowledge of truth!  Struggling in your finances but not tithing, offering or sowing a seed?  Then you show yourself not to be trusted with money--spending money on things that you no business buying.  Proverbs 18:22 Whoso findeth a wife findeth a good thing, and obtaineth favour of the Lord.  You are not to be living with a man!  Women are not to go looking for a husband.  We must walk in truth!  Learning but not coming to the knowledge of the truth.  Something should change and shift from the time spent in study of His word.  We must change our mindset--Ephesians 4:23 And be renewed in the spirit of your mind. Philippians 2:5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus.  Your thoughts are out of order!  As they say idle time is the devil's workshop.  You could be reading the Bible--studying His word!  Don't decide to not walk in the truth!  You can't go before God just any old way!  He sits high and looks low.  There is nothing that you can hide from Him!  Every word that you speak  is recorded and you will give an account for each word uttered!  Repent!  Walk in God's truth!  Ask Him to show you the way and have a nevertheless in your heart and on your lips!  Let us all walk in the truth.  God will cut off the stuff that does not need to go with you.  What is the truth?  There are women and men walking all out of order.  We must wake up and walk in the truth!  Don't be in church causing division!  A house divided can not stand!  James 5:16 Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.   Walk in the truth to be really free!  Tell someone about this that they too are free in the liberty that Christ's blood purchased for us!  Tell someone so that they can pray with you.  You need a safe place so that you can lay it down.  The devil wants you to  be quiet and to hide that thing.  Get free and ask God to forgive you.  1 John 1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.  Ask God for forgiveness for what you have done against others.  Move on and walk in the truth.  Tell them the truth, stop lying to them!  Don't walk in the lie with them any longer!  Give them the truth it will hurt but it will make them free!  Much of what you suffered is from what you have decided to do, all on your own.  God has given us discernment, to know who we are walking with.  Ask Him for it, that the truth be revealed unto you.  Many of us are dealing with people that we should not be dealing with.  We should not just accept just any old thing.  We take after our Father and He won't accept everything!  We must raise our standards, we are royalty (Job 29:14 Isaiah 28:5, 62:3),  that is why we must be in His word to find out what God has to say about it!  What is the truth?  Get into His word and find out!  Sit down today and ask God to search me and if You find anything not of You--take it away!  I wanna walk in the truth!  The scales are fallen off of our eyes, they are no longer disguised to our time and our season!  2 Corinthians 6:17 Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you.  We must walk in the truth!  We walk by faith, not by sight!  You may have to walk alone in ministry, it can be lonely walking with God but you are never alone!  Don't look for men to praise and encourage you.  Encourage yourself in the Lord your God!  Give God all of the glory!  Do what God told you to do.  Our assignment depends on our obedience.  Are you listening to God or to man?  You should be talking to God everyday, all throughout the day.  Seek Him for yourself!  Always learning but never coming into the knowledge of truth.  Can you imagine how many years you have wasted, not walking in the truth?  Write the vision and make it plain.  Our latter end shall be greater.  Why are you in the same mess that you were in in your 20's while you are in your 40's?  Walk in truth.  Those who are stopping your ministry and growth, let them go.  Unplug from the distractions and plug into God--He is our source of everything!  Align yourself with truth, be on one accord with what is good, pure and true!  That way God can use you.  Let Him purge you and wash your heart.  We are shaped and molded by His hands, some of us need to be made over.  Don't be where no one can tell you anything.  God is tired of us living a lie.  That there are still many of us worrying.   We are to pray and not faint, yet many of us are fainting.  God keeps telling us that the battle is not ours but the Lord's but we are still fighting in our own strength.  We must be still and know that He is God!  We have gotta walk this out right.  We can be either hot or cold but if we are lukewarm He will spew us out of His mouth.  Who is on the Lord's side?  Ask for discernment, it is time to line up with God's word.  Thank You for Your truth.  What is truth?  Hallelujah God!  We shall know the truth and the truth shall make us free!  Help us to crucify our flesh!  Let our spirit man rise up and follow the Holy Spirit.  Let us not waste another second in a lie.  If you have to separate us from some stuff, come out from among them.  Walk in the truth.  We want to see Your truth with spiritual eyes.  Tell the truth, God will forgive us with no condemnation.  He will cast our sins into the sea that they are remembered no more.  You have been holding on to some stuff, find a safe person and tell them and have them pray with you.  Come out of it, it is a lie--come out of it!  To hear this again click here.

 
We seal this prayer in His precious blood, by His Spirit:  Psalm 119:160 (AMP) The sum of Your word is truth [the total of the full meaning of all Your individual precepts]; and every one of Your righteous decrees endures forever.



Welcome to the overflow...
Thank You God! Thank You Holy Spirit!  What mighty God we serve!  Sometimes you gotta do a self check. There is a word that comes that makes you say ouch.  God comes to correct us in love.  He wants us to be right with Him.  A liar can not tarry in His sight.  Take a selah moment.  Look into the mirror and take a look, the enemy may be you.  Stop pointing fingers at everyone else, the blame may lie with you.  Always learning but never coming into the knowledge of truth.  Check yourself!  God calls of us to preach in season and out of season.  Thank You God!  We are not to worry but pray!  Walk in truth!  Get out of those lies, be not worried that someone will find out. Thank You God!  Walk in the truth!  He will lead and guide you in to all truth!  Once you learn the truth, walk in it.  In this season there are people that can not go with you.  Still love them and keep praying for them but they can not go.  God has you in a different place.  We should be chasing after what God has for us!  You really want someone walking with you who you are not dragging like extra weight.  But someone who brings you the word of God and speaks life in every situation.   We are fiveamprayer, a divine destiny connection, you are another link in the chain that links us together!  Thank You Lord, that we know each other in the spirit, not by outer appearance.  Don't ask for the truth and not expect to get it.  God is revealing things to us.  This is revelation time!  You may not like the truth but it will make you free.  The little lies that you tell, having your children lie that you are not home to those on the phone.  No more lies!  There are not little sins nor little lies.  Lies and sins are against God--period!  We are believers and are for God!  Thank You God that You are for us!  We must repent for the lies that we have told--lie no more and walk in the truth.  Tell them the truth!  Get yourself free, walk in the truth!  Thank You God for this word!  Where are you falling at?  Check yourself.  Sometimes we don't want to deal with the truth about our own children.  Let us walk in the truth in every area of our lives.  Selah. To God be the glory!  We gotta get this in our spirit, walk in the truth!  Have a blessed day!  Amen, we are walking in the truth of God!

Having The Mindset Of Grace.


Acts 16:16-30; Philippians 2:5; Psalm 144:1-3, 146:2, 56:10, 67:5

We are walking in today:  Having The Mindset Of Grace.
 
Acts 16:16-30 16 And it came to pass, as we went to prayer, a certain damsel possessed with a spirit of divination met us, which brought her masters much gain by soothsaying: 17 The same followed Paul and us, and cried, saying, These men are the servants of the most high God, which shew unto us the way of salvation. 18 And this did she many days. But Paul, being grieved, turned and said to the spirit, I command thee in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her. And he came out the same hour. 19 And when her masters saw that the hope of their gains was gone, they caught Paul and Silas, and drew them into the marketplace unto the rulers, 20 And brought them to the magistrates, saying, These men, being Jews, do exceedingly trouble our city, 21 And teach customs, which are not lawful for us to receive, neither to observe, being Romans. 22 And the multitude rose up together against them: and the magistrates rent off their clothes, and commanded to beat them. 23 And when they had laid many stripes upon them, they cast them into prison, charging the jailor to keep them safely: 24 Who, having received such a charge, thrust them into the inner prison, and made their feet fast in the stocks. 25 And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises unto God: and the prisoners heard them. 26 And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken: and immediately all the doors were opened, and every one's bands were loosed. 27 And the keeper of the prison awaking out of his sleep, and seeing the prison doors open, he drew out his sword, and would have killed himself, supposing that the prisoners had been fled. 28 But Paul cried with a loud voice, saying, Do thyself no harm: for we are all here. 29 Then he called for a light, and sprang in, and came trembling, and fell down before Paul and Silas, 30 And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved?  Philippians 2:5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:  Psalm 144:1-3 1 Blessed be the Lord my strength which teacheth my hands to war, and my fingers to fight:
2 My goodness, and my fortress; my high tower, and my deliverer; my shield, and he in whom I trust; who subdueth my people under me. 3 Lord, what is man, that thou takest knowledge of him! or the son of man, that thou makest account of him! 
Psalm 146:2 While I live will I praise the Lord: I will sing praises unto my God while I have any being.  Psalm 56:10 In God will I praise his word: in the Lord will I praise his word.  Psalm 67:5 Let the people praise thee, O God; let all the people praise thee.


We welcome Pastor Reeding this morning on a teaching on the grace of the believer.  We learn from the text this morning that we are to do like Paul did and call out that spirit and send it back to the pit of hell, in the name of Jesus!  Many attend churches and have spirits that are not of God.  We must not waiver, we must work the gift that God has given us.  We have to work in His grace that has all sufficiency.  The world gets mad when they see the Spirit of God move--that was the response of the men who owned this slave girl who had the spirit of divination.  These men were caught up in the lust of the flesh, lust of the eye and the pride of life--they did not like losing so much money.  Paul and Silas were attacked--when you do the work of God you will be attacked.  The Holy Spirit will deliver and guide you from the attacks of the devil.  We are empowered with grace, joy, power and anointing when we come under attack.  They took the pain and agony from being beaten with rods and did not give up on Jesus!  How did they make it through, calling on the name of Jesus within them themselves for strength.  The prison had two parts the inner prison was for murders, those who committed capital crimes--this place was damp and had dim light due to  the lack of windows.  Only the guards had light that they carried with them.  This area was filthy, and had rats and snakes--they were chained hands and feet to the wall, even after being beaten.  As it got latter in the evening, they begin to praise God singing spiritual songs and hymns.  They praised God even in that situation.  The building begin to shake, from them praising God.  Because of these praises everyone in that area was released from bondage.  Many people would have fled once freed from bondage, but they stayed there that the guards did not take their lives.  Paul even cried out to do no harm to the keeper of the prison.  Who was saved through this whole process.  They went through all of the pain and darkness to save this man and his whole household.  When we have the right mindset in Jesus, look at what He can do in us!  When we walk in the midst of sinners that God can release His power into that situation.  We must use the gifts that God had given us, to command in the blood of Jesus--the situations that you come across in your life.  The joy of the Lord is your strength.  We must walk in peace and long suffering.  God is looking for the remnant--fiveamprayer is that remnant.  We must release those in prison, and those who can't see.  We must no longer be idle.  He is looking for soldiers not wimps, every solider needs a commander!  His grace is sufficient!  We must develop a mindset to totally trust and rely on Him and the power and grace of His anointing.  Thank You God for sending Your servant, Pastor Reeding with this word this morning!  Thank You for his obedience!  We pray that You would pour back into him for all that he has poured out on this line.  Cover and seal him in Your precious blood from the top of his head to the soles of his feet. Thank You God for coming to teach us more on grace!  To listen to this again click here.

Testimony Tuesday: Let Me Tell You How Much God Loves Us!

Revelation 12:11; Matthew 20:1-16; Psalm 37:4; Psalm 84:11; Isaiah 30:19; 1 John 4:19; Ephesians 2:4; 1 John 4:11

 
We are walking in today:  Testimony Tuesday,  Let Me Tell You How Much God Loves Us!

Revelation 12:11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death. Matthew 20:1-16  1For the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is an householder, which went out early in the morning to hire labourers into his vineyard. 2 And when he had agreed with the labourers for a penny a day, he sent them into his vineyard. 3 And he went out about the third hour, and saw others standing idle in the marketplace, 4 And said unto them; Go ye also into the vineyard, and whatsoever is right I will give you. And they went their way. 5 Again he went out about the sixth and ninth hour, and did likewise.6 And about the eleventh hour he went out, and found others standing idle, and saith unto them, Why stand ye here all the day idle? 7 They say unto him, Because no man hath hired us. He saith unto them, Go ye also into the vineyard; and whatsoever is right, that shall ye receive. 8 So when even was come, the lord of the vineyard saith unto his steward, Call the labourers, and give them their hire, beginning from the last unto the first. 9 And when they came that were hired about the eleventh hour, they received every man a penny. 10 But when the first came, they supposed that they should have received more; and they likewise received every man a penny. 11 And when they had received it, they murmured against the goodman of the house, 12 Saying, These last have wrought but one hour, and thou hast made them equal unto us, which have borne the burden and heat of the day. 13 But he answered one of them, and said, Friend, I do thee no wrong: didst not thou agree with me for a penny? 14 Take that thine is, and go thy way: I will give unto this last, even as unto thee. 15 Is it not lawful for me to do what I will with mine own? Is thine eye evil, because I am good? 16 So the last shall be first, and the first last: for many be called, but few chosen. Psalm 37:4 Delight thyself also in the Lord: and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart. Psalm 84:11 For the Lord God is a sun and shield: the Lord will give grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly. Isaiah 30:19 For the people shall dwell in Zion at Jerusalem: thou shalt weep no more: he will be very gracious unto thee at the voice of thy cry; when he shall hear it, he will answer thee. 1 John 4:19 We love him, because he first loved us. Ephesians 2:4 But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, 1 John 4:11 Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another.

Thank You God for being the all knowing God, who came on this line to answer burning concerns for so many on the line this morning!  Thank You that we all had time to reflect on Your goodness while in Your warm embrace.  O, how You love us so!  Thank You for such an encouraging experience to let us know that You see and are mindful of us!  Thank You for loving us totally and completely!  There is no one like the Lord God Almighty!  We lift up praise to Your holy name!  We bestow blessings and honor to You Lord, Your are the holy and perfect one!  Thank You for resting and residing on this line, that we can call in and be in Your presence and then You come in and bring us more understanding of who You are!  Thank You God!  Hallelujah!  Wonderful, lovely, precious and kind is what You are!  To listen to this awesome revelation of God's love click here.

We seal this prayer in His precious blood, by His Spirit:  Thank You God for revealing how You love us!  We are all God's favorite!  He loves each of us the most!  Amen!
