Obedience

Isaiah 1:19

If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land:

The KEY WORDS here is 'IF' and 'YE'! 

GOD is not influenced by what 'other' people say or think! He will keep His Word to you and I based on our  obedience! NO ONE has more power and authority than GOD!  

One of the biggest problems people have is a result of giving the devil attention and focusing on what 'other' people say and do! When you and I do this, it is feeding into the work of the devil s plans to kill, steal and destroy! 

It is important to stay focused on the Word of God! Regardless of what anyone says or does,  GOD IS STILL GOD and HIS WORD IS STiLL TRUTH! He still judges all! There is no place that anyone can go and nothing they can do to hide from GOD! Remember Jonah? 

The devil loves attention! If you and I give to give it to him, this will hold us back from the fullness of the blessings of the Lord! I actually do not like to mention his name and I refuse to use a capital letter for satan... He is 'nothing' but a big bully and a liar! 

I write this today in the hope of exposing what the REAL problem is behind so much of what is going on today, especially in the church! The TRUTH is, the REAL root of the problem is WITHIN, NOT WITHOUT! 

IF we just take a look in the mirror, we can see a visiual of the who is behind the cause of the majority of our problems and situations. THEN It is up to each of us to recognize this  and DO something about it IF we want CHANGE, each if us must CHANGE ourself first, otherwise satan will continue his work to steal, kill and destroy! 

From the Beginning of time there has always been people who are influenced by, and manifesting the works of the flesh! (Galations 5:19-21). There always will be as long as the earth remains! 

Romans 8:31

What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?

1 Peter 4:12

Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you:

Matthew 5:11

Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.

(Keyword is FALSELY! If it is FALSELY, GOD KNOWS and HE WILL judge righteous judgement). There are NO exceptions for GOD has NO respect of persons 

Isaiah 54:17

No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and their righteousness is of me, saith the Lord.

Philippians 4:4

Rejoice in the Lord always: and again I say, Rejoice.

1 Thessalonians 5:18

In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.

What is GOD'S will??? For you and I to stay focused on Him, obedient to Him, trusting in His Word and always giving thanks to Him, REGARDLESS!

Joshua 1:8

This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.

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.

Today is a new day! When, and if, tomorrow comes it will be a new today! It will be for each one of us what we make it based on what we do TODAY!
