NUGGETS To PRAYERFULLY CONSIDER

EVERYTHING YOU NEED IS ON THE OTHER SIDE OF YOUR OBEDIENCE!

NEWSFLASH!  Some desire a double portion of the anointing on a person,  however THE  UNLIMITED ANOINTING OF JESUS  CHRIST IS AVAILABLE!

Praying is time well spent. Worrying is time wasted.

DELAY is not always DENIAL!

Being out of the will of God is too expensive for me. Being in the perfect will of God

makes me too expensive for the devil.

Fiery trials come. I fret not! I know the outcome.

God is never late. He is not just on time. God is always early.

God created all things in six days. Then He rested. God is still resting. And a rest is prepared for His children to enter into.

 MANY are called. FEW are chosen.

The CHOSEN are the ones that show up!

They Shall Be Called Trees of Righteousness

The SPIRIT of the Lord God is upon me; because the Lord hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; He hath sent me to bind up the broken hearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound. To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord, and the day of the vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn; To appoint unto them than mourn in Zion, to give unto them the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; ........... Isaiah 61:1-3a ...... That they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that He might be glorified. And they shall build the old waste places, they shall raise up the former desolations, and they shall repair the waste cities, the desolations of many generations. Isaiah 63:3b-4.

This Post is a continuation of my September 15 Post.

We are set FREE from the bondage and captivity of sin, death, hell and the grave, when we receive JESUS CHRIST as our Saviour. Some call this being 'born again' or the New Birth. To be 'born again' and/or to experience the New Birth is possible by only ONE WAY .... through JESUS CHRIST. He is the Door. Behold, I stand at the door and knock; if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me. To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in His throne. He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches. Revelation 3:20-22 JESUS paid the price for every soul that will receive him, to have eternal life by the shedding His Blood. He has defeated death, hell and the grave. He is our resurrected Saviour, who is now seated victoriously on the fight hand of our Heavenly Father. Through the New Birth, (born again experience), we have access to the nine spiritual gifts which are given by the Spirit. (I Corinthians 12:1-11. The nine spiritual gifts can be compared to nine 'good' seeds which have the ability to grow the nine spiritual fruits (Galations 5:22, 23) into maturity. Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of a good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. Philippians 4:8 .

Gifts Are Given. Fruits are Grown!

But Jesus Said, Suffer little children and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven. Matthew 19:14

The Ninth Month of 2007

Numbers, colors and metals often have meanings in the Bible. I will list several meanings for numbers 1- 12. One ... Unity, Two ... Witness, Division, Three... Resurrection, Trinity, Four ...The World, The first creation, Five ... Grace, Six ... Man, Satan and his influence , Seven ... Perfection, Completeness, Bringing to an end, Eight ... New Beginning, New Birth, Nine ... Spiritual Gifts, Spiritual Fruits, Ten ... Law, Eleven ... Judgment, Destruction, Devastation, Twelve ... Divine Power, Rule or Authority, Organization

In September, the ninth month of our calendar year, I am reminded that Gifts are given, but Fruits are grown. God has given us 9 spiritual gifts. I Corinthians 12:1-11

1. Now concerning Spiritual gifts, brethren, I would not have you ignorant.
2. Ye know that ye were Gentiles carried away unto these dumb idols, even as ye were led.
3. Wherefore, I give you to understand, that no man speaking by the Spirit of God calleth Jesus accursed: and that no man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost.
4. Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit.
5. And there are differences of administrations, but the same Lord.
6. And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God which worketh all in all.
7. But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal.
8. For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit.
9. To another faith, by the same Spirit; to another the gift of healing by the same Spirit;
10. To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues;
11. But all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will.

Galations 5:22, 23 When we recognize the nine spiritual gifts that we are given and allow them to work in our lives, the nine spiritual fruits can be grown. We do not automatically have spiritual fruit. Just as natural fruit starts with a seed and can grow into fruit, spiritual fruit starts with the good spiritual gift(s) seed that is given to us by the Spirit. Mature Spiritual fruit is not grown overnight.

All of us, with no respect of persons and no exceptions, have tests, fiery trials and many experiences on our journey through life. Each individual has equal opportunity to be 'born again' (the new birth represented by number 8) and to recognize and 'use' the spiritual gifts we have been given to profit. I am speaking about spiritual matters, however as the spiritual gifts are exercised, we also profit and can help others to profit, not only spiritually, but also physically, materially, financially, emotionally and psychologically. God would have all of us to prosper and to be in good health even as our soul prospers. (3John 2) In so doing, our spiritual fruit will buds, blossoms and grows into maturity. However, as with natural fruit, the spiritual fruit can also rot, decay and be of no use. The choice to GROW, beautiful, ripe, delicious spiritual fruit is up to each individual. :)

• But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
• Meekness, temperance; against such there is no law.

The 9 spiritual fruits are not given to us. They only can grow from the inner (spiritual) man. Spiritual fruits become visible on the outside, as we GROW fruit on our branches. In the natural, fruit does not produce the tree. The tree is produced by good seed. This same process works in the spiritual realm. The words of Jesus in the nine beatitudes (Matthew 5:3-11) shows a striking similarity to the nine spiritual fruits. (Galations 5:22, 23) In closing, I am reminded of the following scripture, which I will write more about in my next post .... They shall be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that He might be glorified. Isaiah 61:3 May the eyes of your understandings be enlightened: that ye may know what is the hope of His calling ... (Ephesians 1:18). Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things ye shall never fall. (II Peter 1:10)

I Am A Witness

Acts 1:8But 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 Judea, and in Samaria,

and unto the uttermost part of the earth!

No one knows, like you know, what God has done for you.

No one can tell, like you can tell, what God has done for you.

You are writing a gospel a chapter each day.

By the deeds that you do and the words that you say.

Men read what you write, whether faithless or true.

Say, what is the gospel according to you?

Laborers Together With God

Acts 3:1-9



Jesus said .... The harvest truly is great, but the laborers are few: Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest that he would send forth laborers his harvest. Luke 10:2 God sent laborers, joined together, in one mind and one accord, obeying God's instructions, results in the fulfillment of His divine and specific assignments with the result of a great harvest of souls. When we stand united, hand in hand with God, His mission can be accomplished!

• And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, even as unto babes in Christ.
• I have fed you with milk, and not with meat: for hitherto ye were not able to hear it, neither yet now are ye able.
• For ye are yet carnal; whereas there is among you envying, and strife, and divisions. Are ye not carnal and walk as men?
• For while one saith, I am of Paul; and another, I am of Apollos; are ye not yet carnal?
• Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers by whom ye believed, even as the Lord gave to every man?
• I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase.
• So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase.
• Now he that planteth and he that watereth are one: and every man shall recieve his own reward according to his own labour.
• For we are laborers together with God; ye are God's husbandry, ye are God's building.

May God richly bless you and yours as you continue to labor, per His specific instructions, in the harvest field of the Lord. To God be all honor, all glory and all praise.
