Stand to fight the war that lives in you.
We are living in s spiritual warfare . The bible tels us what we wrestle against not flesh and blood but it is spiritual wickedness in high places. And the only one in high places is satan.he is The prints of the air so he sits in the highest place on earth.Ephesians 6:12-13King James Version (KJV) 12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.we are living in an evil day where we are intimidated even by our own peers brothers and sisters in the church. But what they fail to realize is that they allow themselves to be used by the enemy. This is why we have to always have a heavenly mindset this is the only way will be able to fight against the spiritual wickedness that is in this world. And since the spirit man and the fleshly man dwells in the same temple one have to overcome the other . The truth is we war in our own members because of Adam's sin it also derlls with in us this is why God tells us walk not after the flesh but Nor forfill the lust of the flesh. Our spirit man is working hard in us daily to fight against our flesh. It is the spirit man that is the Holy Spirit is fighting this battle and directing us and true. Many find it hard to believe that a born again believer can have a demonic spirit simply they don't understand the difference between the soul and the spirit of a man. They believe everything is made new the moment a person accepts Jesus (which is true for the man's spirit), but they naturally accept the fact that a person can be born again yet they can still be in bondage to sin (darkness or evil).Although the body is made up of spirit soul body The only way we can fulfill the spiritual man if we read the Bible and allow God to resonate inside of our minds allowing Hods spirit to take full control of our mind body and spirit. Truthfully we are at war in ourselves because we are fighting the flesh and spirit man is fighting to win the battle and the spirit man is of God for the battle is not ours it is the Lord.therefore if the spirit man is of the Lord the spirit man is Fightin with in our members the flesh. We are a spirit being, we live in a body and we possess a soul. The real person inside of us is our spirit. Our soul consists of our mind, will and emotions. Our bodies are obviously what we live in while we are here on earth. How did demonic spirits vex and possess (control) people in the Bible? It was through their souls (minds, as in mental illness and insanity), and their bodies (as in the woman who had the spirit of infirmity).

The meaning of Help
Thank you so much for your generous donation to all who will involve themselves in this love vineyard. Help started when my child was rape at twelve.

However I was dying my number was not up as yet therefore coming back to life seeing my only Son on a monitor taking his last breath. Holding Him while my heart was burning in pain with hurt, coming home to find my first husband in bed with my best friend. “Help”-- started when I sat at the waters of my Bethesda I was blind lame but I could not see and paralyzed could not move.

Giving God total Access
Giving
God total Access is the key to the kingdom of God. When we are given this key
to the kingdom we have access to enter into any door to the promises of God. Matthew 6 33- 34"But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you. "So do not worry about tomorrow; for tomorrow will care for itself. Each day has enough If
you get a message from God denying
access is
because the kingdom lives inside of us if Gods promises is not apply we shall
not receive the promises of God. There is a life and death risk factor that is
involve and will target you and me if we don’t apply the kingdom principle. You
may be a target for the enemy to use you therefor access maybe denied. There
is only one way we can experience this is becoming the righteousness
of God. Those who are in right standards
with God are the righteousness of God. The bible say our
righteousness is but filthy rages. Because of Jesus Christ we become the righteousness
of God and God reminds us that He never seen the righteousness forsaken nor His
seed bagging bread. God never loses sight of those who never lose sight of him.
When you lose sight you become blinded by the things of this world that’s when
we lose sight of God. Total access means
that you trust that person. When a man does not allow a person to have a key to
their company they are denied her total access. When a person don’t give a key
to a person that rent a prosperity lack of trust and there will not allow them
total access. God wants you to have total access to Him. He wants you to seek
him with all of you mind all you strength, all the desire of your heart.Allowing
God to be first in your life Trusting
God with you whole heart. God
gives us total access in this life when we give Him total access to our lives. Allowing
God to have total access means that you are giving Him absolute control in
believing in His Word by faith. Absolute control when he intervenes in your
additions and desires. All you have to do is give God total access and He will
do the rest. God is righteous in all his ways.
Therefore we can trust in God to take full control over our lives and not worry
about the cares of life and the trouble that it brings. We have no need to be
on the lookout. A look out person a person who watches an area and
warns others if there is someone coming. A lookout or look-out is a person on a ship in charge of the
observation of the sea and we know that Jesus is the master of the sea.
However term "lookout" is also used to describe a person who accompanies criminals. A
look out person will look out for you while a person is stealing. A look out
person is one who will put holes in your boat while the other is making sure it
sinks. These are many types of look out persons. The lookout person will steal your pocket book
while the other is looking out to see what’s in it. However God will save the lookout
person and the person that was taken advantage of. What I’ve come to find out
is look out persons never work alone they always work together. Basically, he’s a man or
woman who walks into an establishment, displays a knife or gun and demands
money from the cash register,” he said. “People [are] getting victimized by
pickpockets in the clubs when they leave their wallets or pocketbooks open in
crowded commercial establishments they are easily target.”
But if you’re the righteousness of God you know that God has your back and
there is no need for a look out guy. God is your look out person His angels are
your body guards encamp around you while you are sleep. When you left your car
door open there was an angel at your door. When that bullet should of kill you
God put a bullet proof vest on you. When that car almost hit you it was God
that pull you out of harm’s way and you could not understood how you got on the
other side of the street. With such a presupposition if we use this which is
our advantage and foundation, we could define
God's righteousness
as “God's complete self-consistency and faithfulness to
himself in all his promises to us. I would suggest you seek God with the upmost
respect and reverence. Before we seek anything when it
comes to this Godly realm we must first seek Gods righteousness then every
promise that is in this biblical blueprint called the bible will be added to
our lives. There is no God above, beside, or behind the loving God revealed in Jesus Christ. God will not and cannot act contrary to
the love that he is in his triune life. How can you be the rightness of God if you’re
looking out? God has blessed
us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ. When Jesus
died and rose again He appeared to his disciples and then ascended up into
heaven (Acts1:9-11). To enter into the righteousness
of God you have to allow God in your heart and take full control over it.
Allowing God to realm over your life is allowing to have total access into your
life. The spiritual realm is as real as the natural realm. In fact
the spiritual realm determines what takes places in the natural realm.

The Rust of Ochronosis
The
Rust Oxidation: We as the people of God allow this to residue to cause us
to become so cold to one another not caring how we relate or how
we cause them to feel or think. Rust is reddish- or yellowish-brown flaky
coating of iron oxide that is formed on iron many times to the point that
you can peel it away. Could you imagine all that you have learn and know is
peeling away because of how we treat one another? Knowing what we are doing without feelings for
the person we are doing it to be not walking in love because of the blessing
they are receive. We allow ourselves to become rusted and oxidation state
begins to process in our hearts and mind yet loses its moisture and compassion
and develops into this rust. Oxidation number, also called Oxidation
State, the total number of electrons that an atom either gains or losses in
order to form a chemical bond with another atom sharpen without it causes rust.
Are you rusted because you have a lack of compassion for your sister or brother?
Uncaring not promoting and discouraging. As with the brothers and sisters
in Christ which states that we lost the chemical identification when we allow
the oxidation to lose its strength. Iron sharpen iron if we do not
allow each believer to sharpen each other in the skill or gift that
God has given to us we lose strength. And often become a one man island. The
bible tells us my people parish for lack of knowledge. We become rusted and lose
the power that is given to us as our gift weakens because we are so into
self-promotion instead of edifying and lifting and encouraging one another up.
We will rush and be duel and cannot be good for nothing. He who would
restrain also restrains the wind if we cannot lift and encourage one another
into their destiny. Iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another. He
who tends the fig tree will eat its fruit, and he who cares for his master will
be honored. "Iron sharpens iron, and one man
sharpens another." When iron blades are rubbed together, each becomes
sharper and thus more effective. However we cannot sharpen ourselves it is
impossible to do because to have to rub together to be sharp. Likewise, when
believers are involved in one another's lives, mutual edification occurs. is a similar passage: "Two are better than one, because
they have a good reward for their toil. For if they fall, one will lift up his
fellow. But woe to him who is alone when he falls and has not another to lift
him up! Again, if two lie together, they keep warm, but how can one keep warm
alone? And though a man might prevail against one who is alone, two will
withstand him—a threefold cord is not quickly broken." Humans were created
for fellowship . When we're living in healthy fellowship, we rely
on one another and help one another. It is often thought that the threefold
cord of refers to two people in relationship who are
submitted to God. It is true that fellowship is beneficial for humans in
general, but all the more so for Christians .The New Testament is replete with instructions concerning
how believers should relate with one another. They are to do good to each other
, bear each other's burdens forgive each other , restore each other ,
submit to one another , encourage each other admonish and exhort each other pursue peace and mutual up-building,
and stir one another on to love and good deeds . The Body of Christ – believers – should be encouraging and
edifying one another. When they do, they are like iron sharpening iron. Each
believer becomes more effective in his calling. However what I come to find out
in the building that we worship God in Spirit and in truth. That we tear down
talk about ridicule a person disrespect and those that God called out put in
place to be lifted up. Are now rusted in their gift because of jealousy and
envy. Man and women of God trying to destroy what God has join together. Men
and women who snare the gifted to the point they have become rushed in their
gift unsupported and when call to represent they can’t because of the
negative vibes that surround them in their own church home that God has called
them there to help. Do you not know a prophet is never honor in their own
house? Judge not, that ye be not judged. For with what judgment ye
judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured
to you again. And why beholds thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye,
but considers not the beam that is in thine own eye? Or how wilt thou say
to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam
is in thine own eye? Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine
own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy
brother's eye. This is the very person that knows God and it is clear that
God sent this person to that edifies. But because of people who are jealousy of
the person desires for them to become ineffectiveness in their marriage in
their church home and ministry. People who will try to betrayal and destroy one
person because God has chosen them. Now because of the nay Sayers jealousy
up rise in the church over this one person they become ineffective and the
church goes downhill because the Pastors have too many so called Prophets
talking in his ear. Now he is confuse in hearing God voice speak and the people
in his congregation. Now there is a tremendous need and ineffectiveness in
faith and belief in God in the people of God who now live in poverty and remain
in this ungodly condition because of a stony heart and hatred for God’s chosen
anointed and prophet. . For we are God’s
handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God
prepared in advance for us to do." Lay not up for yourselves
treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break
through and steal: But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where
neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor
steal: For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.

Crock of Clay
The Crock of Clay. Then I went down to the
potter's house, and, behold, he wrought a work on the wheels. And the vessel
that he made of clay was marred in the hand of the potter: so he made it again
another vessel, as seemed good to the potter to make it." (Jeremiah 18:3-4) I understand what it
takes to make something out of virtually nothing and how important it is for
the potter to control the clay and not the other way around. Having my Bachelor’s
in Theology the study of God it is no reasoning in me that there is a God that
directs us and we are just mere Clay. I want to talk to you about the
difference between being the potter, the one who makes and forms the clay, and
being the clay, that which is molded by the hands of someone else. For
whichever one you decide to be in your Christian life will determine whether
you will be submissive to God and do whatever He wants you to or be stubborn
and go your own way and do your own thing. Clay is only a fine-grained, firm
earthy material that is plastic
when wet and hardens when heated, consisting primarily of hydrated silicates of
aluminum and widely used in making bricks, tiles, and pottery. A hardening or no
hardening material having a consistency similar to clay and used for modeling.
Clay is a fine-grained natural rock or soil material that combines one
or more clay minerals
with traces of metal oxides and organic matter. Clays are plastic
due to their water content and become hard, brittle and non–plastic upon drying
or firing. Well clay needs coloring when it is spindle around
a wheel it looks like nothing. Just mud that rubs off and away from the
place in question. What is amazing is
that God will put us back on that spindle and mush us up again shaking us up
once more starting over, molding us making us. The place in questions could be
sin so God often will form us from the living waters of the Word of God. By
definition, clay is nothing more than any earth that forms a paste with water
and hardens when heated or dried. Since we were made from the dust of the
ground I don't think that anyone would argue the point that we are the clay. (Genesis 2:7) And the LORD God formed
man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of
life; and man became a living soul. God
is the potter we are clay. The definition of off is something that is no longer
attached, no longer in operation or no longer happening. So as to be removed from
the spindle there needs to be separated from the thing that it is attach to. It
is from cloth or dyed leather making of earthenware
pot, jar, or other containers. Once made then God puts all kinds of gifts into
this jar. However because we are made in sin and shape in iniquities God puts pressure
and friction to our lives that we made be good for the masters use. After time
letting it slowly cook in my cracked theological crock pot. Once God allow the heat
you let slowly cook in your cracked crock pot to mead any cracks holes or dents.
What I come to find out is that people need high heat and some need low. Many
of us just need to slowly simmer. We are all crock pot of fragile clay. A jar
of clay God is working in. There's not room in this clay jar for both God and
someone else's. There is only enough room for healing crack pots. God cleans
polishers us up so that we can be use by Him. He will send people to manipulate
us we must stand on the Word of God. Saying all manner of evil about us. Even
when the application of pressure and friction with many trails and tribulation.
God will apply a rubbing
lotion on His hands
then he will give us beauty for our ashes. There are time we are just like fabric
and we tear easily. Other
times we need to be shaped again. Gods
desire to get us out of the place of comfort to the place of destiny. Weaving
us shaping us together forming us into the image of the only begotten Son. Depending
on the content of the soil, clay can appear in various colors, from white to
dull gray or brown to a deep orange-red. Clays are distinguished from other
fine-grained soils by differences in size and mineralogy. Just like there can
many servants but only one master there can also be many lumps of clay but only
one potter to mold them.
Barter of Vision
The
Barter of Vision God has a great plan, a vision. And that vision includes you.
Yes, it does, or you would not be here. You are special. You are different from
anyone else. The great Creator God personally designed and made you that way.
Therefore, you have a contribution to offer that no one else can make. God had to trade goods or services without
the exchange of money to him it was sending His Son in to a world exchange it
from sin to enteral life with Him.
Barter is a system of exchange by which goods or services are directly exchanged for other goods
or services without using a medium of exchange, such as money. You have value and
are not inferior to anyone. Different. Yes, wonderfully different. Remember,
you are God's idea; and He never makes a mistake. You were not made to be
exactly like any other person. But each of us was made for a purpose. God had a
vision about you and has a vision for you. If you don't know God's present and
ultimate vision for you personally, right now, let me share it with you. "And
it shall come to pass in the last days, says God, that I will pour out of My
Spirit on all flesh; your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your young
men shall see visions, your old men shall dream dreams" (Acts:2:17).The
apostle Paul summarizes God's will and vision for all humanity in a nutshell:
". . . God our Savior . . . desires all men to be saved and to come to the
knowledge of the truth" 1 Timothy: 2:3-4 God,
through His Son Jesus Christ, reveals the knowledge of truth Paul is referring
to: "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that
whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God
did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world
through Him might be saved" (John: 3:16-17 that is God's vision prepared
and outlined for mankind, including you. It is the offering of, and the way to,
eternal life in the kingdom of God: "That whoever believes in Him should
not perish but have eternal life" (John: 3:15). "They will come from the east
and the west, from the north and the south, and sit down in the kingdom of
God" (Luke: 13:29). Jesus
exchange his life on earth for sin. This was the vision of God before the fall
of man. It was in the plan when Adam and Eve sin then once throw out of the Garden
of Eden the vision was clear that man is fallible only God could come down to
exchange what was fallible because God himself was infallible. o. He created
the heavens and earth and man all that is in it. All of creation is accountable
to Him. Every created thing lives and breathes and has its existence because of
the creative and sustaining presence of God. Sinful man answers to God; not the
other way around. What we could not do for ourselves, God stepped in and did
for us. We are spiritually dead in the eyes of God and remain so until we
receive spiritual regeneration through the presence and power of the Holy
Spirit. We remain spiritually dead until we are born again. John Calvin wrote:
"The only haven of safety is in the mercy of God, as manifested in Christ,
in whom every part of our salvation is complete. As all mankind are, in the
sight of God, lost sinners, we hold that Christ is their only righteousness,
since, by His obedience, He has wiped off our transgressions, by His sacrifice
appeased the divine anger, by His blood washed away our stains, by His cross
borne our curse, and by His death made satisfaction for us. We maintain that in
this way man is reconciled in Christ to God the Father, by no merit of his own,
by no value of works, but by gratuitous mercy." God
is responsible for our eternal salvation, "namely, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to
Himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and He has committed to us
the word of reconciliation" (2 Corinthians
5:19). God caused a double transfer to be made. Our sins were
imputed to Christ, and His perfect righteousness is imputed to us. He bore our
sins; we are clothed in His righteousness. All of our sins were placed on
Christ. He was punished for our sins. All our guilt was placed on Him and He
died in our place. Christ's righteousness was imputed to us, the believing
sinners in order that we might be accepted by Him. God acquits the guilty
sinner who believes in the atoning sacrifice of Jesus Christ for his sins. It is distinguishable from gift which is enteral
life. God reconciled sinful man to Himself by making His sinless Son the sin
bearer and dying in the sinner's place. Jesus Christ paid the death penalty for
the sinner so that God could set the sinner free and declare him righteous in
His holy presence. Moreover, He did more than just forgive us our sins; He
imputed the perfect righteousness of His Son to us. A great exchange took
place. Christ got all our sin and guilt; we got His perfect righteousness
standing before God. His righteousness was exchanged for our sin. The economies
in many ways had to change to an economy of life more abundantly from poverty
and the earth as it was in lack and infected with diseases and plagues. God desire
is to rid man from these things by His reciprocal exchange which is immediate and not delayed in time. For
one day to God is a thousand years and a thousand years is yet a day. It is
usually bilateral, but may be multilateral
(i.e., mediated through barter organizations) and usually exists parallel to
monetary systems in most developed countries, though to a very limited extent.
Barter usually replaces money as the method of exchange in times of monetary
crisis, such as when the currency may be either unstable. Therefore which was once
unstable man living in sin is now stable by bilateral use from the reciprocal
exchange. Therefore money is not sin but to not have it is sin. Because Gods
desire and purpose is in the bible for us to use as given example of his elect
being able to be lenders and not borrowers. Yes we shall have the poor with us
always however we as the Elect of God. Should know enough to sustain our
families and help those in need. What a
good Christian Barter is are like poems to make you believe in difficult time
God has made us more than conquerors we cannot be defeated. Utterly it is a
natural act because of the Word of God instill innate in us before the
foundation of the world. Many times we can recall things in the bible that we
never look at that is because we are the call according to His purpose. There
are just some things in us that has already been there even before we were
born. We are a nation without excuse. utterly natural act. The
apostle Paul told us how God did it. "He [God] made Him [Jesus Christ] who knew no sin to be
sin on our behalf, so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him"
(2 Corinthians
5:21). The foundation for everything in our Christian life is based
on the atoning sacrifice of Jesus Christ, and the imputation of the perfect
righteousness of Christ to the believing sinner.
