IF

                                                                          IF

A small word with a very powerful use.  Many times it is used with regret, “If I had not done ____, then ______ would not have occurred.”  “If this happens, then I will do _____.”  “What if _____ doesn’t work?”

Perry Stone, who is an evangelist, tells about the true story of a woman who was in dire straits because her husband was dying of tuberculosis in a hospital and their only cow lay dying.  She was pleading for the Lord to help her.  All of a sudden, she noticed a whirlwind coming towards her and in that whirlwind appeared an angel that told her that her husband would be healed and that they would have another daughter and as a sign of this happening, the cow that was dying would be healed.

She responded that if this happened, then she would sell the cow and give money to missions.  The angel answered “There are no ifs in God’s plan.”  What the angel said was exactly what happened.  The cow was healed and her husband, two weeks later, was released from the hospital and they did have another daughter.

When God says if, it is conditional.  

 if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.  II Chronicles 7:14 NIV

Hear me, my people, and I will warn you—if you would only listen to me, Israel!

He said to him, ‘If they do not listen to Moses and the Prophets, they will not be convinced even if someone rises from the dead.’” Luke 16:31

He replied, “If you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mulberry tree, ‘Be uprooted and planted in the sea,’ and it will obey you. Luke 17:6 NIV

 If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. Romans 10:9 NIV

When man says if, it is questioning the promise.

When the angel of the Lord appeared to Gideon, he said, “The Lord is with you, mighty warrior.”

“Pardon me, my lord,” Gideon replied, “but if the Lord is with us, why has all this happened to us? Where are all his wonders that our ancestors told us about when they said, ‘Did not the Lord bring us up out of Egypt?’ But now the Lord has abandoned us and given us into the hand of Midian.”  Judges 6:12-14

When Satan says if, it is unbelief.

The devil said to him, “If you are the Son of God, tell this stone to become bread.”  Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone.” Luke 4:3-4 NIV

Satan wanted Jesus to doubt His own Divinity, “If You are the Son of God…..” (Manna-fest, Perry Stone) 

The devil whispers in our ears, “If God really loved you ……”  He also questions the Word of God.  Just one seed of unbelief can change our faith in God.  We must stand on God’s Word and any promises that He has given us.  Yes, sometimes we may question something that God tells us that does seem impossible, like Gideon but in the end, he put his faith in God.  So must we.  There are times that I have a hard time believing promises that I know the Lord has given my husband and I that have not yet come to pass but I still continue to speak these promises and speak the promises of God just as Jesus spoke the Word of God to Satan.  The Word of God is a weapon against the enemy!

Abraham was 100 years old when Isaac was born.  He received the promise of a son when he was seventy-five years old.  He believed God. 

And by faith even Sarah, who was past childbearing age, was enabled to bear children because she considered him faithful who had made the promise.  And so from this one man, and he as good as dead, came descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky and as countless as the sand on the seashore.  All these people were still living by faith when they died. They did not receive the things promised; they only saw them and welcomed them from a distance, admitting that they were foreigners and strangers on earth. Hebrews 11:11-13

Summary of God's promises to Abraham

• All nations will be blessed in Abraham and his seed.
• Abraham and his seed are to possess the land for ever.
• Abraham is to be the father of an innumerable seed.
• Abraham is to be the father of a singular seed who will conquer all enemies.
• Abraham's name is to be great.  NOTE. These promises were not fulfilled by Jewish occupation of the Holy Land in Old Testament times.  (“God’s Promises to Abraham” Bible Education)

Yes, Abraham did not see every single promise in his lifetime, but it was his faith in God that made him righteous in the eyes of God.

 Not one of all the Lord’s good promises to Israel failed; every one was fulfilled. Joshua 21:45 NIV

Praise be to the Lord, who has given rest to his people Israel just as he promised. Not one word has failed of all the good promises he gave through his servant Moses. I Kings 8:56 NIV

Through these he has given us his very great and precious promises, so that through them you may participate in the divine nature, having escaped the corruption in the world caused by evil desires. 2 Peter 1:4 NIV

The “ifs” in our lives should not direct our lives but the promises of God and the promises that He has made to us.

Prayer to the Great “I AM”
Almighty Son of God, You are the great “I AM.” You are faithful to Your promises and will defeat my enemies, though numerous and powerful. I will not be discouraged because I walk in Your divine presence. I will live in Your strength and courage, for You are my God. I have faith in You and Your word because I know that Your word never fails. I thank You for the many promises You have spoken over my life, and I place my trust in You. Amen.

DECEPTION

  

                                                            DECEPTION

Genesis 3:1-5 Now the serpent was more crafty than any of the wild animals the Lord God had made. He said to the woman, “Did God really say, ‘You must not eat from any tree in the garden’?”

 The woman said to the serpent, “We may eat fruit from the trees in the garden, but God did say, ‘You must not eat fruit from the tree that is in the middle of the garden, and you must not touch it, or you will die.’”

 “You will not certainly die,” the serpent said to the woman.  “For God knows that when you eat from it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.”

Deceive---(of a person) cause (someone) to believe something that is not true, typically in order to gain some personal advantage: "I didn't intend to deceive people into thinking it was French champagne" (Oxford Dictionaries)

We all know what deceive means but the reason I have articulated the meaning is to emphasize the part that says, “to gain some personal advantage.”  So deceit is not only saying something that is not true but doing it for personal gain.  That sounds very familiar now in the area of our culture and politics.

Satan not only deceived himself into thinking that he could be greater than God but he also deceived Adam and Eve into thinking that they could be like God.  I believe he tricked them into thinking that they would be gods themselves.  He was really stealing their identity.

How can we keep from being deceived?  I believe that we need to seek the truth.  Just because someone says something does not mean that it is true.  Just turn on the “fake news.”  People that deceive others have an agenda.  It appears that power and money are the two high ranking motives that fuel people’s hearts to deceive others.  The problem with deception is that it causes an avalanche of more lies and more deceit until only those blinded by their own deceit will find it very hard to accept the truth. Also, deception includes what is not said. 

What is Truth?   Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.  John 14:6 (NIV)   When bank tellers are being taught how to detect counterfeit money, they are taught how to recognize the authentic money.  We need to recognize the authenticity of what we see and hear and read.  We also need to seek God’s wisdom and read His Word.  Those that choose to deceive like to change words to sound more palatable so as to hide the true meaning such as “a woman’s choice” (abortion); social justice (socialism); Planned Parenthood (abortion clinic), etc.

 As Jesus was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately. “Tell us,” they said, “when will this happen, and what will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the age?”   Jesus answered: “Watch out that no one deceives you.  For many will come in my name, claiming, ‘I am the Messiah,’ and will deceive many. Matthew 24:3-5 (NIV)

At that time if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Messiah!’ or, ‘There he is!’ do not believe it.  For false messiahs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect.  See, I have told you ahead of time.  Matthew 24:23-25 (NIV)

Jesus very plainly states that one of the biggest signs will be deception in the last days before His Second Coming.  We are living in a world where there is deception on steroids!!  Our spiritual eyes need to be opened so that we can discern what is true and what is not.  With our modern technology it is much easier to deceive than in times past.  Also, our technology can change the outcome to suit its purpose or personal agenda.  I don’t have to go too far in giving you the example of the 2020 election!!

Satan has his agenda and he works through people.  He is the “father of lies.” Jesus rebuked those that were accusing Him of not being of God and Jesus said that they were the ones who were of the devil.

 Jesus said to them, “If God were your Father, you would love me, for I have come here from God. I have not come on my own; God sent me.  Why is my language not clear to you? Because you are unable to hear what I say.  You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies.  Yet because I tell the truth, you do not believe me!  Can any of you prove me guilty of sin? If I am telling the truth, why don’t you believe me?  Whoever belongs to God hears what God says. The reason you do not hear is that you do not belong to God.”  John 8:42-47 (NIV)

“The Nazis frequently used propaganda to disguise their political aims and deceive the German and international public. They depicted Germany as the victim of Allied and Jewish aggression to hide their true ideological goals and to justify war and violence against innocent civilians.” (Holocaust Encyclopedia)

“Europe’s extensive railway network of the 1930s and 1940s played a key role in the Holocaust. The deportation of millions of Jews to concentration camps such as Auschwitz in Poland was carried out mainly via rail.

Jews from all parts of German-occupied territories were bundled on to these trains. This process was often referred to as “resettlement to the east” by the Nazi regime.

The victims – including women and children – would be told that they were being hauled to labour camps. In reality, these were death camps where the largest known genocide in modern human history would unfold.

Monday marked the 75^th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz by Soviet troops. At least 1.1 million people, most of them Jews, were murdered in Auschwitz.”  (Death Trains: How Jews were deported to Auschwitz, the most infamous Nazi concentration Camp--Times Now News January 28, 2020)

How does this apply to our lives now?  We need to take a stand for the truth, in whatever form that takes.  And we need to seek truth and have discernment so we are not deceived concerning anything we see, read, hear or experience.  Remember that the evil one always appears as an “angel of light”!

 

ABOVE THE FRAY

                                                              ABOVE THE FRAY

 

Do you sometimes feel that you need to get above the fray or in other words to get away from the bluster, the noise, the turmoil of the world just to see beyond what is around you?  Are you looking for a reprieve?

Well, look no further because there was a person in the Bible during Jesus' time who, it appears, was anxious to see things from a different vantage point.  That person was Zacchaeus.

In Luke 19:1-6 it says, “As Jesus was passing through Jericho, a man named Zacchaeus, one of the most influential Jews in the Roman tax-collecting business (and of course, a very rich man), tried to get a look at Jesus, but he was too short to see over the crowds.  So he ran ahead and climbed into a sycamore tree beside the road, to watch from there.  When Jesus came by He looked up at Zacchaeus and called him by name! “Zacchaeus!” He said, “Quick!  Come down!  For I am going to be a guest in your home today!”  Zacchaeus hurriedly climbed down and took Jesus to his house in great excitement and joy.”  (The Living Bible)

Zacchaeus was a rich man who was one of the despised people in those days because he was a tax collector.  Yet even, he, with all of his riches, must not have been satisfied because he was searching for more.   Hearing the words of Jesus and not being able to see the Messiah, Zacchaeus chose to go above the obstacles in his way by climbing a tree to get a better vantage point.

Why did Jesus point out Zacchaeus?  I think that maybe Jesus saw the extra length that he went to so that he could see with his own eyes, the Messiah.  Jesus saw his heart and his efforts and even though others criticized Jesus for going to a notorious sinner’s house, Jesus knew that  Zacchaeus  was seeking to have a relationship with Him and that he did not care who saw his actions because he had come to a realization of Who Jesus was.

What is our vantage point?  Are we looking at things that are seen or should we be looking at things unseen?  How many times do we get so caught up in everyday life and all the noise around us and take time to search out the Savior, Jesus, and spend time with Him? 

What are the obstacles in our lives that keep us from taking time to be with our Savior?  There are so many distractions around us that we need to let go of and carve out special time to be with the Lord.  We need to live above the fray of the world that would seek to keep us in a state of anxiety or fear.  The Word of God says that we should not be conformed to the things of this world but be transformed by the renewing of our minds.  Colossians 3:2 says, “Let heaven fill your thoughts; don’t spend your time worrying about things down here.”  (Living Bible)

Jesus is walking your way today.  He sees you.  He knows your heart. Don’t let Him pass by without joining Him.  Salvation came to Zacchaeus’ house that day.  I’m sure that the angels in heaven rejoiced that day. 

If you have not made a commitment to make Jesus your Lord and Savior or want to recommit your life to Christ, pray this prayer:

Salvation Prayer:

Dear God,

I come to You in the name of Jesus

I believe that Jesus died on the cross

For my sins and rose again

I ask you to forgive me for my sins

I turn away from my sins

I ask You Jesus to come live in my heart

I surrender my life to You

Thank you Jesus, for dying for me

And giving me eternal life

Amen

A Prayer for Peace of Mind

Almighty God, We bless you for our lives,
we give you praise for your abundant mercy and grace
we receive. We thank you for your faithfulness even
though we are not that faithful to you.
Lord Jesus, we ask you to give us all around
peace in our mind, body, soul and spirit.
We want you to heal and remove everything that is
causing stress, grief, and sorrow in our lives.

Please guide our path through life and make our
enemies be at peace with us. Let your peace reign in our family,
at our place of work, businesses and everything we lay our hands on.

Let your angels of peace go ahead of us when we go out
and stay by our side when we return. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

 

ARE WE LISTENING?

                                                           ARE WE LISTENING?

What does it mean to listen?  Webster’s Dictionary defines listen as, “To try to hear something; to pay attention.”  In other words, listening is an action and it is not passive.  We can hear something but not necessarily listen to what we hear.  The following are Bible verses that are about listening:

In Matthew 13:13, Jesus said, “Though seeing they do not see; though hearing they do not hear or understand.” (NIV)

 Consequently, faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word about Christ.  Romans 10:17 (NIV)

Listen and hear my voice; pay attention and hear what I say.  Isaiah 28:23 (NIV)

Because he turned his ear to me, I will call on him as long as I live.  Psalm 116:2 (NIV)

Whoever belongs to God hears what God says. The reason you do not hear is that you do not belong to God.”  John 8: (NIV)

He replied, “Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and obey it.  Luke 11:28 (NIV)

They are from the world and therefore speak from the viewpoint of the world, and the world listens to them.  1 John 4:5 (NIV)

What are we listening to?  Are we listening to what the world is telling us---which is mainly doom and gloom, or are we listening to what God is telling us?  We need to listen to God.  We need to guard our ear gate (our ears) and also our eye gate (our eyes) in what we hear and what we watch.  How do we do this?  We do this by reading the Word of God.   Romans 10:17 says, “So faith comes from hearing, that is, hearing the Good News about Christ.”  (NLT)  We also need to come before the Lord in prayer.  This is very important because it is during this time especially that God, through the Holy Spirit, speaks to our hearts.  We also must listen to His voice during the day.  It is still difficult for me at times to decipher what is from me, the evil one, or God but I believe that the more we spend time with Him, the more we will recognize His voice.  Also, listen to Christian music, especially praise and worship, to get into the presence of the Lord.

We are bombarded every second of the day with media, in whatever form.  It is important to keep up with the news to a certain extent but we need to fall back on what God is telling us.  God’s message is a message of hope.  God created us to live with Him eternally.  He has a special plan for our lives.  When we surrender our lives to God, He comes in and shapes and molds us.  We are who God says that we are, not what the world says.  In Ephesians Chapter 1 Paul says that we are chosen, we are blessed; we have redemption through the blood of Jesus and forgiveness of sins; we have been given wisdom and understanding.

In Matthew chapter 13:4-13, Jesus spoke a parable about a sower who went out to sow seed: “As he was scattering the seed, some fell along the path, and the birds came and ate it up. ⁵ Some fell on rocky places, where it did not have much soil. It sprang up quickly, because the soil was shallow. ⁶ But when the sun came up, the plants were scorched, and they withered because they had no root. ⁷ Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up and choked the plants. ⁸ Still other seed fell on good soil, where it produced a crop—a hundred, sixty or thirty times what was sown. ⁹ Whoever has ears, let them hear.”  ¹⁰ The disciples came to him and asked, “Why do you speak to the people in parables?”¹¹ He replied, “Because the knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom of heaven has been given to you, but not to them. ¹² Whoever has will be given more, and they will have an abundance. Whoever does not have, even what they have will be taken from them. ¹³ This is why I speak to them in parables: “Though seeing, they do not see; though hearing, they do not hear or understand.   ¹⁴In them is fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah: ‘You will be ever hearing but never understanding; you will be ever seeing but never perceiving.   ¹⁵For this people’s heart has become calloused; they hardly hear with their ears, and they have closed their yes. Otherwise they might see with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their hearts and turn, and I would heal them.’ ¹⁶But blessed are your eyes because they see, and your ears because they hear. ¹⁷ For truly I tell you, many prophets and righteous people longed to see what you see but did not see it, and to hear what you hear but did not hear it. ¹⁸ “Listen then to what the parable of the sower means: ¹⁹ When anyone hears the message about the kingdom and does not understand it, the evil one comes and snatches away what was sown in their heart. This is the seed sown along the path. ²⁰ The seed falling on rocky ground refers to someone who hears the word and at once receives it with joy. ²¹ But since they have no root, they last only a short time. When trouble or persecution comes because of the word, they quickly fall away. ²² The seed falling among the thorns refers to someone who hears the word, but the worries of this life and the deceitfulness of wealth choke the word, making it unfruitful. ²³ But the seed falling on good soil refers to someone who hears the word and understands it. This is the one who produces a crop, yielding a hundred, sixty or thirty times what was sown.”

In other words, I believe that you can hear something but maybe you are not listening because as the seed that fell to the ground, it is how it was received and activated or ignored or not comprehended.  There are also those who, because of persecution or the worries of life and the accumulation of wealth, reject the Word.  We must ask the Holy Spirit, Who is the Counselor, to give us discernment, especially at this time when there is so much deception (lies) that are being heard as truth.  We need to be alert and watchful and guard what we hear and also what we see.

There is a cartoon that we have on our refrigerator that has a person with a cell phone walking from the city out into the country and the further she gets, the less signal she is receiving until it is completely gone and the caption reads:  “Sometimes you have to lose the signal to get the message.”  (“Rose Is Rose”)

So let’s tune into to God and tune out the voices, noises, in the world that are keeping us from receiving the message, the truth, which is in God so we can live the life that God has ordained for us and follow the path that He is leading us on and not let the world be the loudest voice that we hear!

THE GIFTS OF THE SPIRIT – Part Two

THE GIFTS OF THE SPIRIT – Part Two

In the last program, part two of the gifts of the Spirit, we talked about the gift of wisdom, knowledge, faith, healing and miracles.  Today we will talk about prophecy, discerning of spirits and speaking in tongues and interpretation of tongues. 

Prophecy:

Prophecy is speaking, writing, or otherwise communicating a message from God to another person or persons.  There were many prophets in the Bible; Isaiah, Jeremiah, Joel and so on.  In Acts 2:17-18 it says, “And it shall come to pass in the last days, God declares, that I will pour out My Spirit upon all mankind, and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams.”

Prophecy is speaking a message from God to people or an individual.  It comes from the Holy Spirit living within you.  Prophecy is to strengthen, encourage and comfort people.  Prophecies can cover many situations such as predicting future events like you read in the Old Testament; giving someone counsel or encouragement.  It could be for confirmation of what God has been speaking to you or for instruction or possible correction. 

All prophecy needs to line up with Scripture.  God will never go against His Word.  Does it mean that only certain people can prophecy?  No, I believe if you open up yourself to doing God’s will and have an intimate relationship with Him, He will speak to you and through you to others.  There is the office of the Prophet and some people operate in this gifting all the time.  We should always test what someone prophesies over you.  Ask the Holy Spirit to give you discernment.  If it does not line up with Scripture or it goes against what God has been telling you, then reject it.

Why is it important for us to seek to prophesy or listen to others who do?  It gives us spiritual vision; it edifies; it comforts; it can confirm what God is speaking to you; it guides you.

Discernment of Spirits:

Discerning of spirits helps to discern whether it is God’s Spirit; a human spirit or an evil spirit in a given situation.  This gift, combined with prayer for deliverance is often used to help people become free from the oppression of evil spirits.

Discerning of spirits is such an important gift, especially living in the world we are now living in where there are so many voices out there on television, social media and so on.  Remember, Satan comes as an “angel of light” to deceived.  Just because something looks like it is okay does not mean that it is. 

For example, the New Age Movement appears to be spiritual but it is really misleading people.  Even Yoga, which seems pretty harmless, is really seeking other spirits rather than God.  The philosophy of the New Age Movement is basically---- God is in everything (pantheism); All things are one (monism); Man is God; Mind creates reality; One’s own experience validates the truth.  In another program, we will go more into New Age Philosophy and why it is so dangerous to be involved in it.

Through the discerning of spirits, the believer will know what is motivating a particular person or situation.  A believer may be operating under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, his own feelings, thoughts and desires or receiving thoughts from a wrong spirit, an evil spirit.  This gift is very important because we need to know the source of what we are hearing or seeing and if it is discerned that someone is being oppressed by a demon, we have the authority in Jesus Christ to cast that demon out.

I have encountered a demon working through another person several times.  In each of these times the person confronted me and I spoke boldly back to them with words that were not coming from me but from my spirit---the Holy Spirit in me.  I have also prayed with others and when a spirit of infirmity was commanded to leave in Jesus’ Name from someone, another person actually saw, in the spirit realm, an evil spirit leaving that person.

WORSHIP GIFTS:

Speaking in Tongues

It is also known as praying in tongues.  It can be exercised at will and used in private or in public prayer situations.  It is used in this situation to build up the person.

On Pentecost, the Apostles who were part of the 120 who gathered in the upper room received the gift of speaking in tongues.  There were many people from other places who came to Jerusalem for the Feast of Pentecost and when they heard them speaking in tongues they were astonished because they hear their on native tongues being spoken.  

At other times, praying in tongues is the “language of angels.”  It is an unknown tongue, a heavenly language so to speak.  It is your spirit praying a perfect prayer that the Holy Spirit in you is praying.  Wow.  How awesome that we can pray the perfect will for our lives!!

Jesus said in Mark 16:17, “And these attesting signs will accompany those who believe: in My name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new languages.”

In Romans 8:26, it says, “So too, the Holy Spirit comes to our aid and bears us up in our weakness; for we do not know what prayer to offer nor how to offer it worthily as we ought, but the Spirit Himself goes to meet our supplication and pleads in our behalf with unspeakable yearnings and groanings too deep for utterance.”

There have been testimonies of people being prompted to pray for a particular situation or person and then find out later that there had been divine intervention.  A friend of ours had the gift of speaking in tongues and when he would go out to pray for some Native Americans, he would be praying in their native language.

If you want to receive the gift of praying in tongues and someone prays for you or you ask on your own, don’t be discouraged.  If you really seek it, it will happen.  Just trust God.  It is really a faith exercise.  It may sound like gibberish but do it like a child learning to talk or walk.  Next time you are alone, put a worship CD on and just start saying Alleluia, Hosanna, just open up your mouth and let the Holy Spirit fill it.  You never know.  One day you may wake up and start speaking in tongues!

Interpretation of Tongues

This gift is either given to you in your personal prayer or in a community.  When people are gathered for example in a prayer meeting and someone speaks a tongue out loud it is important that it is interpreted because the Holy Spirit wants to speak to us with understanding.   I Corinthians 14:13-14, says, “Therefore, the person who speaks in an (unknown) tongue should pray to interpret and explain what he says.  For if I pray in an (unknown) tongue, my spirit (by the Holy Spirit within me) prays, but my mind is unproductive (it bears no fruit and helps nobody.)”

The interpretation can be delivered by the person who spoke in tongues or another person.  It isn’t necessarily a direct translation but a sense of the message being given.  If there is no one to interpret, then maybe it was not intended for everyone.  Listen to what the Holy Spirit is telling you.

When you are praying in tongues, the Holy Spirit is praying through you.  There have been scientific studies of the brain showing that when a person prays in tongues, there is a certain area of the brain that lights up.  Also, it has been shown to boost the immune system and when someone is speaking in tongues it is not in the area of the brain where the brain processes and produces language.  This shows me that it is not a biological function but a supernatural experience.

The Gifts of the Spirit are given for a particular moment of need in the Body of Christ.  Not every person exercises every gift all the time or one person may be more able and/or motivated than another in exercising a specific gift such as the office of the Prophet.  Remember that in I Corinthians 13 Paul said that we can speak in tongues and have many of the gifts but if we do not have love, then we are nothing.

In our next program, we will talk about the Baptism of The Holy Spirit and how to receive it.
