There is No Denying God

Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth. Psalms 46:10 KJV

*No matter what a nonbeliever says or does, God will ALWAYS get the glory. One day, EVERY KNEE WILL BOW and EVERY TONGUE WILL CONFESS THAT JESUS CHRIST IS LORD. There is already no denying Him for real. You're wired for a connection with God...That void anyone feels is the lack there of. Plus, God is all around you, in every element, if you take the time to look. How can you REALLY deny Him??? So, why not take a moment to talk to Him...There is no such thing as happen stance or luck..It was predestined by God. Let go, and accept that...

God Makes All Things New

Galatians 5:19-26 (NIV)

19 The acts of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; 20 idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions 21 and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God.

22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. 24 Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. 25 Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit. 26 Let us not become conceited, provoking and envying each other.

*Sometimes, we allow our past to depict our future. We may even allow people to hold things over our head that we use to do, say, or believe. However, once you determine that you would like to be saved and accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior, you can start over with a clean slate. No one should be inquiring about your past unless they are helping your get over it or through something that has a hold on you. If God can forget and forgive, humans do not have the right to try to dig and pry about something you let go. However, be aware of things that still hinder you or that you need to put down. Once we become new creatures in Christ, we should not habitually take part in things of the flesh. These habits should begin the process of being removed until they are nonexistent. Let's pray that we let go, refocus, and revamp in order to keep growing and moving forward...

Living with a Purpose

2 Corinthians 1:21-22 (NIV)

21 Now it is God who makes both us and you stand firm in Christ. He anointed us, 22 set his seal of ownership on us, and put his Spirit in our hearts as a deposit, guaranteeing what is to come.

*No matter what you are involved in, what you may have done in the past, or no matter how independent u may feel, u still belong to God. He is calling u every minute of the day, and is asking you to be saved, seriously rededicate your life to Him, grow in Him, build a relationship with Him, and include Him in your decision making. I know it becomes hard, tempting to step outside of the guidelines, or perhaps you are unsure if you can completely dedicate yourself. However, God is not looking for perfection...He is looking for diligence and loyalty. He even wants to help you with things you struggle with daily. Trust me, WE ALL have things to work on. However, God can assist if you open up and truly try Him. There is no failure in trying...the failure is when you choose to assume and not completely let go and give it your best. Let Him do the rest....

Rooted and On Fire for Christ

Colossians 2:6-7 (NIV)
6 So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live your
lives in him,7 rooted and built up in him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness.

*Do u remember the day that u first accepted God into your life? Do you remember feeling a sense urgency or just a need to answer the altar call, or pray the prayer of salvation? Now, remember how it felt when u went up and decided to dedicate yourself to God....OR, perhaps u needed to re-dedicate yourself? I hope you experienced a refreshing moment of wonderment and perhaps excitement and curiosity towards your new walk. Many of us were on fire when we were first saved...Willing and ready to do whatever for Him and His kingdom. However, do u remember a pastor or someone telling u that now that u have traded sides, u may experience more attacks from the evil one? Well, sometimes these attacks take away our zest and fire for God. Some become complacent Christians and are afraid to take on more responsibility because they are concerned about being attacked, or feel as though we may not have what it takes because u aren't "holy enough" to carry out certain assignments. However, don't be tricked into missing out on growth, rewards on Earth and in Heaven, and not fulfilling the will of Christ because of your lack of faith. Be so ready and on fire for God that your faith becomes strengthened, and you are overflowing with thankfulness to do His will because u know the power of the continuous flow of seed time and harvest. Do not be afraid to try new things, talk to Him more often, or go through things for His namesake because that's how u become more rooted and grounded through Him. The road of living a righteous life may not always be easy, but u are covered better then any insurance and it's worth it. Please, become saved if you aren't there. Your life depends on it.Charitycommunicationsviagod.blogspot.com has a salvation folder.

Renewing of the Mind Includes Re-doing Your Lifestyle

2 Corinthians 5:17-18
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!  All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation...

*I'm sure some of u are familiar with the above verses, especially if your church has discussed the particulars regarding being renewed through Christ. However, if u are a believer or exploring the idea, do u really know what these verses mean to u? God is giving u the ability to wipe the slate clean on every level! If u have asked God to sincerely come into your heart and save u, not only are your sins wiped away, but so are your old ways of thinking and doing things. We all are transitioning during our walk with God, and we continue to grow. Being new within this walk encompasses new possibilities of obtaining the desires of your heart; therefore, the way u thought something was going to come about or occur will be completely different from what u expected. Just because u are unable to fathom a way out, doesn't mean that all possibilities have been exhausted because through God all thing are possible (Matt. 19:26). Your way of approaching tasks on Earth, developing friendships, excelling in your career, and even dating have new possibilities and potentials that u have never experienced. I think a lot of us are desiring to be saved or have been saved, but we bring in old habits and ways of thinking into our saved life. This may include dating multiple people or keeping secrets while in a relationship; looking to excel in a career by starting from the bottom or pursuing different levels, when u may receive the the opportunity for extensive promotions immediately; or even still adhering to that hustle mentality when God promises to guide u (Prov. 3:5-6) and supply all your needs (Philippians 4:19). Let's not become trapped by our old ways, but embrace new possibilities with the evolving walk with Christ.

Sinning Isn't Winning

Romans 6:23 ESV
For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

*Isn't it interesting how we love free things: Free food, buy one get one free, or signs with "free until..." on them. Yet, God giving His life freely to save us from sin doesn't register with as much excitement as worldly things. Clearly this is true love given freely, which provides freedom to warn u of the cost of sin and the freedom to guide u into a life filled with promise if we choose to obey, give up our sinful lives, and follow Him whole heartedly. Yet, we can't give up habits, friendships, or forgo on certain choices to even embrace this lifestyle completely when it has been given to us freely. We are not just rewarded with eternity in Heaven, but life more abundantly on Earth as well (John 10:10), yet some of us would rather continue certain lifstyles just to appease our flesh; gain what the world views as natural; or sell our precious souls for a tweak, fix, sale, feeling, taste, touch, or opinion that can cost us everything. What good is life as u know it when u can have beyond a life u dreamed of, with even smoother transitions through trials? Yet, we still keep doing the same thing day in and day out. Or, if u are hearers of the word, u don't practice doing it because your actions and thought process is still stuck in the world. Life is so precious...don't waste it on sin when u can preserve life through the choice to allow God to manifest in it. What choice will u make today?

The Power of the Love of God

2 Thessalonians 3:5

5 May the Lord direct your hearts to the love of God and to the steadfastness of Christ.

*Being steadfast is referencing the ability to be steady or unchanging. So, the scripture wants us to be drawn to the love of God, and realize that Christ does not change unlike some of our human counterparts. Therefore, Christ is trust worthy and should u decide to give your heart completely to Him, u don't have to worry about it being broken or your trust being taken for granted. God can even assist you in avoiding many headaches and hardships in life, which u will endure if u live a life that does not seek His full guidance. He loves u and wants to protect you. He is also willing to guide u, and provide u with opportunities and connections that go beyond anything u can imagine. However, u have to take the first step and allow yourself to be drawn to Him. We all have questions and concerns as we go through life. Wouldn't it be nice to start receiving answers from someone that sincerely cares about your wellbeing, and receive peace while u are here to endure on Earth?

Explanation of Re-dedication and Receiving Assistance

1 John 1:9 ESV
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness...

*Many people carry on through life not being aware or ever using God's full potential to deliver u. In order to know the capabilities of deliverance  and blessings, u have to first realize whether or not u want Him to fully come into your life. Then, u have to take the time to admit the issues (sins) and problems that u need help with...U see, it is easy to say we love God and choose Him, but have really dedicated ourselves to Him? I'm not talking about being perfect, (no one will be by the way...we are made perfect through our efforts of seeking and living righteously)....I'm talking about establishing a consistent connection where u aren't just turning Him off and on like a light switch bc u need something or u are curious for one minute. First, u have to be humble enough to admit that life without God is nothing and that u have sins that u need Him to forgive and help u with(we all do)...then u will need to invite Him in your life to consistently help u daily. As the end of time nears, as the world continues to experience mayhem, and as u go about your day wouldn't it be nice to have more protection and guidance? Wouldn't u like to experience life to the fullest? Let God in today by praying to Him to forgive u, asking for His guidance in areas that concern u, and believing Him for the answer even before they occur. What are u waiting for?

Who Says Progress Has to be a Slow Process?

2 Peter 3:9 ESV
The Lord is not slow to fulfill his promise as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance.

*Many times people find themselves wondering when is God going to move? Others have thought that with all that is going on in today's world, my issue is on the bottom of the food chain and I shouldn't trouble God...Or, perhaps you are one of those who may pray for something, but have not received yet; therefore, you believe that perhaps it isn't meant to be because God didn't answer my prayer. However, go back and examine these inquiries...now examine your lifestyle. Could it be that you are the individual that is causing your blessing to be withheld? Could it be possible that you haven't fully admitted that there are a few things that need to be fixed and tightened up in order for you to receive your full manifestation?

God is not slow, or it is not that He doesn't desire to answer your prayer or meet your needs. Sometimes, He does so despite the fact that we may not deserve it...that's where His mercy comes in. Yet, sometimes it requires us to go the extra mile and demonstrate that we are capable or even ready for what we are asking to receive. Think about it: If u haven't organized yourself, cleaned up your mess, or demonstrated the capabilities to fix what u currently are dealing with then why would He add to it? Even more so, if we are in sin and have not even humbled ourselves to ask for forgiveness and allow God in to fix our situations, how can we ask Him to give us something when we can't even admit the truth to Him. God is waiting on u to get ready be it by repenting, inviting Him in, or clean up what we already have...Your progress is the process that determines your success rate. Whether it is a slow process is up to u.Take care of business now to avoid more future delays.

Surrender and Surround Yourself with the Full Manifestation of Love

Romans 8:37-39  No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.

*There is NOTHING that can keep us from receiving the love God. His love is endless, and is always waiting for you to truly grab hold of it, and experience it for the taking. No matter what u have done, how recent or long ago the event occurred, or regardless to how u feel about the person or thing, you are not bound by that...u are always welcomed back by God to fix and restore the situation. Nothing can separate you from the love of God. It is there even when u choose not to accept it. God knew what you were going to do before you did it. Therefore, don't live in darkness of not experiencing the FULL manifestation of God's love...allow yourself the opportunity that can last a lifetime.

Being Out of Fellowship with God

We all have fallen short, and some of us have even slipped back into the world of evil and potential downfall. However, God still loves you. He wants you to come back and will not judge you. If you have fallen out of fellowship with Him, read the scriptures below out loud.

-1John 1:9
-1John 2:1

Now, begin to pray and ask the Father to forgive you for all you have done. Let Him know you are ready to come home and get in right standing with Him. Your life's success and safety depend on it, and is worth it!
