Do you have a word?

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. I would like to share with you some thoughts i have experienced in the reading of God's word . I find myself like Gideon in the bible  in the book of Judges ,when in the midst of trouble. We oft times forget that  God is able and faithful. See , Israel is the type of mindset for us as a people , who often stray and become hardheaded with God. This is when God has to deliver us into the hand of our enemy.We lose sight of who God is and what he has in store for us, so he sends a situation so we can see how far off we never truly were. Gideon is faced with this delimna when in the hands of the midianites the children of Israel cry out to Gideon to speak on their behalf. The Angel of God appears and said to Gideon "The Lord is with you, you mighty man of valor!" Gideon , just as we do cry out and question why has misfortune fallen upon us? where are the miracles? and, why are we in the hands of our enemies?.Well, the answer is simple , He has never left us ,but, God inhabits praise,and not evil doing or thinking.You see, i do the same thing and expect results ,when i haven't been praising him like i should , or believing i got this far by myself ,when God was there in my storm and in my triumphs. So my word has no validity when i have no word in me from the God who gives power! So like Gideon , I ask how can i overcome in the midst of my enemies when i have no power and it's like God to remind me to say "Surely I will be with you!" See all we have to do is show up with a word from an Inspired God and things will become to be more clearer. that's the miracle we were looking for! just a simple praise or prayer. The Lord instructs Gideon (us) to go and get some meat & bread and go to the tree i commanded you to go. See God has the victory already and tells you to prepare the feast! the bread is the word of God the meat is the sacrifice for the victory that is already manifested but we have yet to see because we don't see the end result, but, God has it done! Hallelujah! I dare you to go through something and go prepare a communion and watch what God does! Gideon still had some doubt and we have them too, so we go further in our questioning and ask for more signs, God Say's to take more meat,and reluctantly we do it ,like Gideon but in our  way, Gideon did it at night because he feared his fathers men in the day. Just like us, we hear and question , but through the obedience our fear becomes faith and we look at that enemy and say let your god prove this!  I can be like that often , with a half heart trust God because i can't see the end result, and ask again for god to show me the thing he has for me. God please allow the dew to appear on my situation so i know you are there! God delivers and then he tells you take one third of your faith and show up! like he told Gideon to take three hundred men and show up! not all your men ,just the faithful! Then take your trumpet (praise) take your empty pitchers with a torch inside(the light of truth) and shout " The Sword of the Lord of Gideon" And they seized every watering place of the Midianites.See,but in between that victory ,God sent a vision to their enemies and allowed Gideon to hear their fear. God has a way of defeating your enemies not during,not in the midst, but before you show up! Amen! This is what is to come when we come to the place of resting God's bosom and his word. When we walk in him and let the spirit guide you all the way into his truth. Is there anything to hard for the Lord! Do you have a word? read Judges 6 thru 8th chapter and find your strentgh in God's word.I thank my pastor the ever faithful Victor Hudson of Rehoboth Kingdom Ministries where we believe in restoring families and healing generations. May he and first lady have a joyous anniversary in the sight of God and many more to come. Shalom

What do you leave Ahead?

I thank God , the Eternal Author and Finisher in my life for allowing the Spirit of Christ to live in me. I thank my shepherd Pastor Victor Hudson for giving his Time ,Talent , and Treasure of the knowledge of God and impart it with us all at Rehoboth Kingdom Ministries. It is from his words ,that  allow me to understand that what you don't value , you will lose! This is why it is so important that we know what to take with us at the next level in spiritual growth. It's never in public we are going to win or be successful if we don't win our private life with God. Oh bless you father, for my pastor who encourages and chastises for our upliftment. We cannot go to the next level in our thinking without taking God's word, lest we tarry or struggle in vain. You see i want the next level and what i take with me determines my stability, longevity, and accessibility to the kingdom of God. I have to take some new spiritual wine, some people who think as i think on spiritual things not carnal ,and physical things that have no gain, because nothing physical will reach the kingdom of God. We gotta have some word power and and restoration power ! But God doesn't put it inside of time, clocks , or calendar's. It is inside us,the spiritual being that all the promises of God are manifest,When we understand that we are in him , that we truly see him and his promises according to 2 Corinthians 1:20 " For all the promises of God in him are Yes, and in Him Amen, to the glory of God through us." So amen (so be it)  according to Acts17:28"for in him we live and move and have our being, as also some of your own poets have said, for we are also his offspring." So if the Father gives us that, why can't we wake up and give that same authority and power to our offspring? Instead of sending them to school, with a knapsack filled with lunch , send them with our Blessing and His promises . What do you leave ahead? because the future and present tense is in the word and the thought that proceedeth forth from you.  Hallelujah! I want to leave you with this, James 5:19 "Brethren , if anyone among you wanders from the truth, and someone turns him back, let him know that he who turns a sinner from the error of his way will save a soul from death and cover a multitude of sins." Shalom
