Good day. Today's video Cause and Effect is on the topic of: Contrary winds whether they are physical or spiritual, cause waves of doubt and uncertainty; the effect of these waves is fear and unbelief even unto death. The thief (devil) comes to steal, kill and destroy; our Lord Jesus Christ came that we might have life and life more abundantly. The spiritual winds include doctrine, the cares of this life, the deceitfulness of riches, and lusts of other things that enter into the heart and choke the word of God (Mark 4:18-19) that was sown in your heart at the beginning of your salvation; and the truth of the gospel of Christ that has been preached unto you by HIS apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, and teachers which were given for the perfecting of the saints, the work of the ministry, and for the edifying of the body of Christ, until we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ: And that we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive (Ephesians 4:11-14). Ephesians 4:15-16 But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ: From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love. (KJV) There is “one” gospel (doctrine) of Christ that will keep us on the sure foundation firmly anchored (hope) to the Rock of our salvation, so that when the storms or trials of our faith come, we will not be moved. We will hold fast knowing the truth of the gospel and that God has not given us the spirit of fear, but of power and of love, and a sound mind (2Timothy 1:7). This is why it is so important that our faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God; and to seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness on a daily basis and allow the Holy Spirit, which we have been given, to lead and guide us into all truth (John 16:13-15). Because the work of righteousness shall be peace; and the effect of righteousness quietness and assurance forever (Isaiah 32:17-18). We will remain anchored in the hope of salvation, not focusing on the problems or storms of this life that are causing waves of doubt and confusion stirring up fear and unbelief, but keeping our focus on the Lord Jesus Christ our sure foundation that will hold up to the waves, giving us strength and wisdom with which he too rebuked the winds and spoke unto the sea, “peace be still”, and calmed the waves and immediately safety was brought forth. And concerning doctrine, many in the Church are tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine (cause), by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive; these winds of doctrine cause waves of doubt and uncertainty in what is truth, and they can lead to fear and unbelief (effect) in one’s walk in the Spirit if they allow it to enter into their heart. Knowing the truth that is in Jesus (Christ – Ephesians 4:20-21) will set you free and keep you free indeed; it will calm the contrary doctrinal winds so you can hear the still small voice of God guiding you into all truth which will put you immediately on a Rock-solid foundation (1Corinthians 10:4, 1Corinthians 1:24, Colossians 1:27) which will keep your heart and mind through Christ Jesus. So, brethren, let us cast all our care unto God and let him do the caring for us, and continue in the faith grounded and settled, and not moved away from the hope of the gospel by contrary winds of doctrine which are not of God, but of men, doctrines of devils that lie in wait to deceive (1Timothy 4:1-6) which will have a negative effect on you and your salvation. Psalm 55:22 Cast thy burden upon the LORD, and he shall sustain thee: he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved. (KJV) God bless and keep the faith.

Good day. Today's video Exceeding Expectations is on the topic of: The Lord's realm, which is Spirit and truth, is exceeding abundantly above all that we could ever ask or think; it is where grace abounds; where all of the treasures of wisdom and knowledge are revealed; where exceeding joy and abundant peace is; where there is health and safety spiritually and physically; where there is power (authority) to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power (influence) of the enemy; where there is life and life more abundantly; where unto us is given exceeding great and precious promises; where all of the promises of God in Christ Jesus are yea and amen; where we have been blessed with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ; where we have received the measure (fullness) of the gift of Christ; where we have been given an unction from the Holy One and we know all things; whereby we have been raised up together and made to sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus; where without measure all these and more is available to all those who believe, for the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man/woman to profit. Our life is hid with Christ in God, exceeding expectations. 2 Peter 1:1-4 Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have obtained like precious faith with us through the righteousness of God and our Saviour Jesus Christ: Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord, According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue: Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust. (KJV) Jeremiah 33:6 Behold, I will bring it health and cure, and I will cure them, and will reveal unto them the abundance of peace and truth. (KJV) God told Abraham "I am thy exceeding great reward" in Genesis 15:1. Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness. Do you believe God, that all of his promises in Christ Jesus are yea and amen and that he loves you and sent his Son to die for you that you might be made the righteousness of God in him, and a partaker of the divine nature? Without faith it is impossible to please God. Jude 24-25 Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy, To the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen. (KJV) Beloved brethren, we encourage you to walk in the Lord's realm, which is Spirit and truth, and remain seated in the heavenlies in Christ Jesus who is seated at the right hand of God, where all things are possible to those who believe. God bless and keep the faith.

Today's video Beginning to End is on the topic of: From the beginning of your walk in the Spirit, being born again, are you continuing in the Spirit in your commitment with the Lord Jesus Christ who laid down his life for you? Or have you begun in the Spirit only to end up leaning back to your own understanding trying to perfect your walk by the flesh? Our relationship with the Lord is like a marriage; we made a commitment, giving our life to Jesus Christ, now are we remaining faithful or are we leaning back to the flesh trying to mix with the world and/or the traditions and doctrines of men, cheating on our commitment to the Lord; evil communications corrupt good morals. We are in this world, but when we accepted Jesus Christ as our Lord and Saviour we are no longer of this world; our citizenship is in heaven where we are now seated in heavenly places in Christ Jesus, who is seated at the right hand of the throne of God, and who is our mediator. We should be holding fast the profession of faith from the beginning of our walk to the end of our walk with the Lord; continuing in the faith grounded and settled and not moved away from the hope of the gospel which was given to us through the one (Jesus Christ) who began in the Spirit, the author and finisher of faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God. We have a beginning in the Spirit by Jesus Christ; and we too for the joy that has been set before us should take up our own cross and follow him enduring unto the end of our faith where there is laid up for us a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give us at that day if we end in the Spirit and stand before him not having on our own righteousness which is as filthy rags, but having on the righteousness of God. Matthew 24:13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. (KJV) From beginning to end choose you this day, for today is the day of salvation, if you will be led by the Spirit of God or be led by your carnal fleshly mind back into the world and its ways. From beginning to end, Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever; wouldn't that be a living testimony within us from beginning to end. God bless and keep the faith.

Today's video Highly Motivated is on the topic of: Are you highly motivated in serving God or men? What is the motive of your heart when you pray, when you worship, when you share the gospel of Christ, is it to be seen of men or are you doing these things truly seeking to please the Lord? We are to enter into our own closet and shut the door and pray to our Father who is in secret, and our heavenly Father who sees in secret (the motive of our heart) will reward us openly. We are to worship our Father in spirit and in truth, for our Father seeks such to worship him (God is a Spirit; and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth), not as an outward show that others can glory in our fleshly display of worship that men teach. We are to share the gospel of Christ in sincerity and in truth, not for the sake of money or to be seen of men, it is doing all things whole heartedly as unto the Lord and not unto men. We cannot serve two masters; for either we will hate the one and love the other; or else we will hold to the one and despise the other. We cannot serve God and mammon (money); and it is written that the love of money is the root of all evil, and for many they will compromise the gospel of Christ to keep the people happy and in the pews, which stinks to high heaven; or they will compromise their faith and walk in Christ for the things of this life or to please men; money answers all things, it reveals the motive of the heart. Ecclesiastes 5:13-15 There is a sore evil which I have seen under the sun, namely, riches kept for the owners thereof to their hurt. But those riches perish by evil travail: and he begetteth a son, and there is nothing in his hand. As he came forth of his mother's womb, naked shall he return to go as he came, and shall take nothing of his labour, which he may carry away in his hand (KJV). John 6:27 Labour not for the meat which perisheth, but for that meat which endureth unto everlasting life, which the Son of man shall give unto you: for him hath God the Father sealed (KJV). Proverbs 23:4 Labour not to be rich: cease from thine own wisdom (KJV). We cannot please God and men; a double minded man is unstable in all his ways. The LORD sees not as man sees, for man looks on the outward appearance, but the LORD looks on the heart (the motive), he knows the secrets of the heart, the righteous God tries the hearts and reins (mind) (1 Samuel 6:7, Psalms 44:21, Psalms 7:9). Remember we will all stand before the judgement seat of Christ and give account of our lives, whether it be good or bad. Who or what motivates you? Examine yourself with the leading of the Holy Spirit and find out, and if there be anything contrary to sound doctrine, remove it, get rid of it out of your heart, with the Lord's help. Study to show yourself approved unto God a workman who needs not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth; because the truth is what will make you free and keep you free indeed (reality). Ask yourself this question: "Do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ." If you find that you are pleasing men more than God then make the correction in your life and continue forward in your walk in Christ standing fast in the liberty with which he has made you free and don't be entangled again in that yoke of bondage or any other that may be hindering your walk, including the traditions and doctrines of men. And don't let the cares of this life, the deceitfulness of riches, or lusts of other things enter into your heart which will hinder you and choke the Word that is written in your heart, and it becomes unfruitful; watch and pray always, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak. Brethren, get highly motivated from above where Christ sits on the right hand of God our Father and put away pleasing man. God bless and keep the faith.

Have a blessed and prosperous day in Christ Jesus our Lord. Good day. Today's video He That Overcomes is on the topic of: In the book of Revelation chapters 2-3 it is written "to him that overcomes" and with that is a reward written that the Lord will give us in that day. The word overcomes means to conquer, prevail, or a decisive victory. The Lord said "These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world" John 16:33. So how do we overcome the world? By the blood of the Lamb, and the word of our testimony, as we too take up our cross and follow the example of the Lord, overcoming the world within us, dying to our wants and desires, and choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season. We are take the whole armour of God that is given unto us and utilize it, for the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds in our life, for without Christ which is the fullness of the armour of God we can do nothing, but with Christ we can do all things through him for he strengthens us as we daily seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, having our mind renewed on things above and not on the things of this life. Watch and pray always that you are counted worthy to escape the things that will come upon this world and overcome and stand before the Lord clothed in white raiment (his righteousness) and not your own filthy rags spotted with the world and its ways. And brethren, fight the good fight of faith and lay hold on eternal life and don't let it slip out of your heart; so run, not uncertain of your eternal goal, fight not as one that beats the air, but make every blow count bringing your body (fleshly nature) into subjection unless by any means, when you have preached to others, you yourself should be rejected; forget those things which are behind (put your hand to the plow and don't look back) and press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. 2 Timothy 4:7-8 I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing (KJV). Are you seeking your reward here on earth, from this world (we are not to love the world neither the things of this world)? Or are you seeking your reward in heaven, eternal life with God our Father and our Lord Jesus Christ? Matthew 25:21 His lord said unto him, Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord (KJV). Revelation 3:20-22 (KJV) 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. What would you rather hear from our Lord, "well done, thou good and faithful servant" having your name written in the Lamb's book of life, and invited to enter into the joy of the Lord and our Father in heaven for eternity, or "depart from me you worker of iniquity" having your name blotted out of the Lamb's book of life but in the books of your works, and cast into hell, for death and hell were cast into the lake of fire; this is the second death; eternal separation from God? Choose you this day who you will serve, the god of your fathers, or the God of heaven and earth and all that is therein? For me and my house we will serve the Lord!

Have a blessed and prosperous day in Christ Jesus our Lord. Good day. Today's video On Purpose is on the topic of: Does your life have meaning, purpose? Ecclesiastes 3:1 To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under heaven: (KJV) Your life was planned out by God before the foundation of the world with the eternal purpose which he proposed in his Son Christ Jesus our Lord in whom we have boldness and access with confidence by the faith of him, that your joy might be full, and you might have life and life more abundantly in his Son. When you came to the Lord you came into agreement with his plan of salvation which gives your life meaning, which has purpose. Jesus Christ gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from this present evil world, according to the will of God and our Father; he came down from heaven not to do his own will but the will of our Father who is in heaven, and to be a witness unto the truth; and everyone that is of the truth hears his voice, and testifies of his eternal purpose which he in turn has purposed within you. Our life has purpose, and that purpose is found in Christ, so let his will be done and not our own will (don't be self-willed, arrogant), but allow the Lord to lead and guide you into all truth in knowing what your purpose, your place in the body of Christ is, for there you will have the peace of God ruling in your heart, where fear has no place, and where he always causes us to triumph in Christ and overcome this present evil world as he did. So Church, God our Father and our Lord Jesus Christ have a blueprint, a GPS guidance system, planned out in advance for each of us in the body of Christ each day, and it's a lot better than what we can come up with, so seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness to find out his purpose for your life today, because we only have now faith to walk in; yesterday is gone and tomorrow is not here yet, and there is enough evil to have to deal with today; so put on and keep on the whole armor of God, and go live a life which has purpose and do things on purpose with thanksgiving giving praise, honor, and glory to God our Father for the abundant eternal life which he has purposed for us in his Son, Christ Jesus our Lord. God bless and keep the faith.

Have a blessed and prosperous day in Christ Jesus our Lord. Good day. Today's video Just the Opposite is on the topic of: The Lord's thoughts and ways are different than ours. Our carnal mind is in opposition to God, and we cannot do those things that please our Father when we operate in our carnal mind. Thus, we are encouraged to renew our minds daily on things above being led by the Spirit. We are to walk by faith and not by sight. We will experience situations in our walk with the Lord that turn out just the opposite of what we thought they would. The flesh (our carnal mind, worldly) and the Spirit are contrary to one another, so that you cannot do those things that you would. Those things that we think will enhance our walk with the Lord, may be just the opposite from that which the Lord really desires for us, which is why we are to seek first the kingdom on God and his righteousness, going to our Father first, seeking his counsel, and not leaning to our own understanding. Our own thoughts and ways will not bring us closer to the Lord; we have to cast down those imaginations of our carnal mind (arrogant reckonings, reasonings) and every lofty thing (stronghold that towers high in defiance of ) that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, and bring into captivity (subjection) every thought to the obedience of Christ; in obedience to the Word of God we grow closer to the Lord, and come into agreement with His thoughts and ways which will be pleasing in our heavenly Father's sight. Just the opposite of the world; it is not of works; it is by grace through faith that we will stand justified in His sight.

Have a blessed and prosperous day in Christ Jesus our Lord. Good day. Today's video Liquid Assets is on the topic of: We have a wellspring of life available unto us that is gushing forth from the throne of God our Father and of the Lamb, his Son Jesus Christ our Lord; a well of water springing up into everlasting life, spiritual liquid assets so to speak. To be able to draw from these waters you need to draw near unto God through his Son Jesus Christ and He will draw near unto you; you need to dig into the word of God, like digging a well, to get to these living waters that are life sustaining to our walk in the Spirit. He will enlighten the eyes of your understanding to continually drink of the well of water of life, which is in Christ. For by one Spirit we are baptized into one body, the body of Christ, and we have been made to drink into one Spirit, one well of life-giving water, Christ in you the hope of glory. There are many tainted wells out there (teaching the traditions and doctrines of men), and there are many which are drinking of those wells unaware of where the water is coming from, which is why we are encouraged to dig our own well (work out our own salvation with fear and trembling; for it is God who works in you both to will and to do of His good pleasure), and drink from the pure river of life that is crystal clear, full of spirit and truth, coming directly out of the throne of God and of the Lamb (Jesus Christ) and where you don't need man's interpretation of God's Word as God our Father by his Son Jesus Christ, has given unto his Holy Spirit, who will teach you, and lead and guide you into all truth, the crystal clear waters of life flowing through you into eternal life. So, where are you choosing to draw your water from?

The Father has translated (past tense) us into the kingdom of his dear Son. He raised us up together and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus. You have been transferred from a limited carnal realm into an unlimited spiritual realm. Above, you will hear a different message and walk a different path than you used to, are you willing to go there and remain there?

Have a blessed and prosperous day in Christ Jesus our Lord. Good day. Today's video Found in Translation is on the topic of: Those that walk with God are translated to a higher level, a new level so to speak; into the kingdom on his dear Son, Christ Jesus. If you are walking with the Lord you should be changing on a daily basis, from corruption to incorruption, walking in a newness of life, where you may be found in translation, and not lost.
