If Two Shall Agree Part 1

Praise the Lord, Beloved, and Greetings in the Name of “the Creator, who is blessed for ever” (Romans 1:25). Our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, is the only one who fits that description. It’s in His Name that I greet you.

Beloved, I want to write unto you from a new subject entitled, “If Two shall Agree ”. Remember, Jesus said, “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” (Matthew 18:19). There are two schools of thought here: (1) Since God’s human creation is body, soul and spirit, if two out of these three would agree to ask anything from God in faith, it shall be done. In other words, if your body and soul agree to believe, then your spirit will reap the benefits of witnessing the miraculous! Or, if your spirit and soul agree to believe, then your body will benefit and see a great move of God. (2) The other school of thought focuses on the bold promise of Jesus - “it shall be done for them”. In layman’s terms, Jesus was saying that the moment two persons agree to believe the same thing, He guarantees a manifestation of that petition. With such a promise as this, how could we not be motivated to pray fervently together in faith?

Chosen Ones, this is why it is of the utmost importance to fellowship with Christians who believe as you do. The warning to my sheep (over whom the Holy Ghost has made me overseer) is this - don’t fellowship with Christians based on denomination, but rather on impartation! Two Baptists, two Pentecostals, two Methodists don’t necessarily constitute successful results in prayer, but two who believe God can heal, deliver, and set free. They can do anything but fail! Jesus can work in that environment.

I will write more on this subject next week.
Until then, know this,
I love you all SO very much,

Take No Thought for Your Life (conclusion) Part 16

Praise the Lord, Beloved, and Greetings in the Name of the One who said, “It is more blessed to give than to receive” (Acts 20:35). The Apostle Paul said that the Author of these words is none other than the Lord Jesus Christ. It is His Name that I greet you.

Beloved, in conclusion of our theme, “Take no Thought for Your Life” - I must share this with you: Ask for what you need. There is no need for God’s children to beg! The king’s kids don’t beg! All we need to do is believe, and God will grant our requests. Don’t take my word for it—ask Jabez (see I Chronicles 4:9-10). Don’t complain about what you don’t have, but rather, thank God by faith for what He has given you, even though it’s not yet manifested. Remember, a few Sundays ago, the Lord had me minister to you from Hebrews 11:1— “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen”. Though the help of the Holy Spirit, we learned that substance is translated from a Greek word meaning entitlement. This reminds us that true faith is manifested in our lives when we believe that we have the ownership and the title deed to something that can’t yet be seen. In other words, if you don’t see your entitlement before it’s manifested in your life, then you have no “substance”, and more importantly, you have no faith!

Chosen Ones, in conclusion, take no thought for what you desire from God. Don’t worry at all whether you will receive the answer to your prayers. You will! Don’t look on what little you have. Rather, think of what God can speak into existence in a moment. Finally, don’t try to fathom, in your finite mind, how God (with His infinite mind) will get the answer to you. Leave that up to Him.

I will write on a new subject next week.

Take No Thought for Your Life Part 15

Beloved, in continuation of our theme, “Take no Thought for Your Life” – you who are worrying, fretting, and as a result, sinning – you who are concentrating on what to do to get what you need in life – you need to relax in God and realize that God will “supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus” (Philippians 4:19). Take no thought for your life! Consider this – how can you say you believe in (or have faith in) God, when you are worrying day in and day out over financial problems, health problems, social problems, family problems, psychological problems?

Chosen Ones, it’s a set-up! Satan wants you to worry so that your body will deteriorate and become unhealthy. When that happens, you won’t be able to work for the Kingdom of God. Satan wants you to worry so that your blood pressure stays high, your kidneys fail, and your heart weakens. He wants you to always be sick, carrying the load of “how do I get what I need to make my life enjoyable”? Beloved, God knows that you must eat, you must be clothed and you must have shelter. The devil is a liar. Jesus will supply everything you need without you having to strain or struggle.

I will conclude this series next week. Until then, know this,

I love you all SO very much,
In His Love,

Take No Thought For Your Life Part 14

Beloved, in continuance of our theme, “Take no Thought for Your Life” - if you remember, scripture records that a crowd of men came to visit a prophet. Food was short, yet God showed them how to multiply the little that they had. They all ate, and even had some left (II Kings 4:43-44). This shows us that sometimes, God puts us in situations where He will require us to have faith that the little we have will be multiplied. Our lack is not there for us to “take thought” (worry) about it. Rather, the lack in a Christian life is there to serve several purposes;1) To get our attention so that we can focus on the area of our lives where the next miracle is scheduled to take place; 2) When you are miraculously delivered from your lack, you can glorify God—you can praise Him for His manifested miracle in your life; 3) When those who know about your lack see how you were miraculously delivered, they will also trust God (see Daniel 3). When Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego were thrown into “a fiery furnace”; 1) it focused their attention (and Nebuchadnezzar’s attention) on the area of their lives that needed a miracle; 2) When God delivered them in such a miraculous way, they were able to glorify the Lord; 3) When King Nebuchadnezzar discovered how miraculously they had been delivered, he not only glorified their God, but he made a decree that only their God would be worshipped in his kingdom.

Precious Ones, King Nebuchadnezzar later promoted these three boys to high positions in his kingdom. Your lack has come to promote you into more blessings. So, ¬take no thought for your life. Think about your promotion, if you must think about something!
