No Matter What

  This is to Encourage You  All No Matter what we are going through , We need to Right and Believe The Promises
 I wish we could hang this in our house to see every day and Stand on it!

The more we grow spiritually the more we realize taking the same ground twice—due to careless words expressing the very opposite of what we are believing for—is unnecessary if we will simply discipline thoughts, words, and actions to agree with precisely what we claim to believe.

Supernatural hope is focused. Keep your eye on the continuum. Never back up and always continue to build. Place today’s advance atop yesterday’s and remember what you have invested; remember you believed the Lord was leading you then, so why question His leading now?
 
You purchased truth when you heard it so do not sell it now. Stay with the truth; speak supernatural possibilities rather than all that blah, blah, blah. Unbelief produces doubt, and doubt systematically dismantles what we just accomplished.
 
Refuse unbelief . . . believe! Speak it. “Light, be!”

Amen.
Thank You Father for healing all who are sick , and who are going through some thing we do not know But You do!
Genesis 1: 1 - 3  Also  read  Hebrews the Faith Book

Whatever the situation, remember a path already blazed for you, a solution already arranged. Ignore counsel outside that parameter of hope; ignore anything that is below the standard of Christ in you . . . your hope!

It may take minutes or hours, possibly months or years, but do not step back from or take your eye off of the down payment already made for you. That earnest deposit will hold. You’ll see!
 
Stay focused. Don’t waiver. Draw courage from within. Extend your hand and do not withhold anything you have to give. Sow and reap—at the same time! Head up, shoulders back!

Remember what He told you on the mountain. And whatever you do, even if all is not perfect along the way, do not stop—no matter what!
 
Amen.

Strongholds

                                        
This is the year we are to make changes in our lives ! Buy being in Gods  word  (Truly Believe)
Be fully convinced of God’s will in your situation. Stay focused—don’t allow thoughts to skip from one thing to the next. Be sure logic and decisions and understanding, come from meditation in God’s Word. Focus on the one thing you must decide—the major area that must be accomplished in the coming year. Again, stay focused.
    This is critical 
Concerning the one critical situation before you, have you “covered” it? Have you spent as much time (contending for the will of God as the enemy invests in destroying God’s plan and wreaking havoc)? If not, make sure enemy strongholds are broken in prayer and declaration of the Word. Every “hold” is fully in your hand as the Lord’s representative: The right hand of the Lord does valiantly! (Ps 118:15-16)

Fine tune your decision-making: Settle it in your thoughts that God’s Word is the “stronghold” concerning this issue and insist that, as much as you can control, every detail is established upon that Word as final authority—for every day, every detail, every word, every emotion, every thought, and every step forward.

Do not be concerned about anyone or anything else—God has it!

Amen.

Declare Psalm 118, Psalm 118:15-16; here is were when ever there is a name (like ) Israel Let Dottie now say , His mercy endures forever . Any where you can put (your in scripture just put your name or the one you are praying for )!

A Prayer for Pastor Serrano

Psalm 103  Our Pastor , Blesses the Lord( with all He has in him,) O my soul ; bless His holy name ! 2 Bless the Lord O my soul , And Pastor will forget not all His benefits: 3 Who forgives all Pastors iniquities, Who heals all Pastors diseases, 4 Who redeems Pastors life from destruction , Who crowns you with loving kindness and tender mercies, 5 Who satisfies your mouth with good things , So that your youth is renewed like the eagle's.

 Psalm 107 : He sent His word and healed our Pastor , And delivered Pastor from his destruction's.

Proverbs 4: 20 My son , give attention to my words;  Pastor Incline his ear to my sayings. 21.Do not let them depart from your eyes; Keep them in the midst of your heart; 22 For they are life to our Pastor And health to all his flesh . 23  Pastor keeps his  heart with all diligence .

Isaiah 53: 4 Surely He borne Pastors griefs And carried Pastors sorrows; Yet we esteemed Him stricken ( Jesus ), Smitten by God , and afflicted . 5 But He was wounded for our Pastor and transgressions,  He was bruised for our iniquities; The chastisement for Pastors peace was upon Him , And by his stripes Pastor is healed.

 Romans 8: 11 But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you , He who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to Pastors mortal body through His Spirit who dwells in you.

3 John 1 : 2 Beloved Pastor,  I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health , just as your soul prospers.

James 5 : 15  And the prayer of faith will save  sick the Pastor! And the Lord will raise him up . And if he has committed sins , he will be forgiven.

Amen

Thoughts, Meditation and Belief

If I ponder or dwell upon something I obviously believe what I am considering has merit. Along with the logical flow of those thoughts and all they bring to bear upon my life, their impact on my thought life produces a composite of things I think about, and probably meditate upon, and eventually those thoughts become powerful enough to establish or change what I believe to be true.

When we entertain obsessive thoughts that contradict the central tenets of our faith, it is possible to miss the contradiction and follow through instead with choices that undermine faith and dishonor God. And though some people feel justified, even entitled, to present their contradiction as truth, they also miss the snare that comes with it; they really do not have a problem presenting as truth what actually is the fruit of their own meditation—a result of their own obsessive thoughts. Whew! 

God can change that kind of habitual carelessness; He will deliver us if we ask and, by His Spirit, sever the connections to those things in the process. He targets our affection for, or sympathy toward, thoughts that run amuck since, if we have practiced them over a period of time, it will be difficult to see or admit since unfortunately we can become sympathetic with the very thing God wants to cut off. Whew again!

We ought to govern our thought life this way: “Whatsoever things are true, noble, just, pure, lovely, of good report, of virtue, and praiseworthy (we are to) think on these things.” Paul said, “The things which you learned and received and heard and saw in me, these do, and the God of peace will be with you.” Thoughts become beliefs that determine the way we will go. As we discipline our thoughts, the fruit of peace rewards that alignment. 

Amen.

Possess The Land

I love this this , Pastor Serrano spoke on this Sunday 6,13 ( He said to possess the land )!

A principle of governing is that everything begins somewhere—everything has a door, an entrance. Practically speaking, anything we fence, or hem-in, also has a gate. Rooms have doors and nations have ports of entry. Every parent knows the principle; speaking to a child who will not, or is unable to hear is unfruitful, the same as speaking to a closed door. The principle is also a spiritual one and the Apostle Paul’s prayer request was for “an entrance and an utterance” because he knew his message would fail if he could not get to and gain the attention of those who needed to hear.  
I like this part of Scripture. As Pastor said our walk with our Lord is set in Heaven , for us to walk in it or reject it ! When we get the Faith All things He has given us to walk in , waiting for the things He has call us to do ! But it is up to us to Thank Him for what our walk could be if by faith we fall in love with our Lord ,and believe He wants the best for us !
Now to possess the land when He says this to us it is all ready done in heaven .
Spiritual discipline includes patience to wait for doors to open and a word of God’s wisdom for what to do, or not do, in the meantime. But when it comes to the enemy’s wiles, we do not wait; when it comes to the enemy, we possess every gate! We are “the seed of Abraham”, the innumerable descendants destined to “possess the gates of their enemies.” Abraham’s relatives, sending Rebekah to become Isaac’s wife, blessed her, declaring these exact words: “And may your descendants possess the gates of those who hate them.”

In daily life every report needs a door, every threat needs a door and every wrong spirit must have a door of entrance to get to, and affect you. Instead of allowing that opening, possess it! Our covenant with God includes authority over every gate and we have GOVERNING authority to open, and close them. Take authority! Remove the thing that does not belong in your life. Now, close the door.

A Family Altar

This Year: A Family Altar

I wanted to write this because God pointed something out to me this morning and I want to share this with you. How many times have we prayed for our family members to come to the Christ? Some times begging and trying to make deals with Him? Well please let me share this passage with you in (“Acts 16: 31; And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved, you and your household.”)
Now say this and believe this even if they are not walking in it yet. Remember that you have to choose to believe this. This is the year you start praying with them. Be the first one to take their hands at the dinner table and say a prayer, when something comes up that needs to be address pray with that person, even if they do not want to hold your hands you still pray the prayer for the matter with them in the room! This will make you stronger in your walk.
Do you see how God works first in your family praying for one another then going to the house of God as a family.

As a New Year begins parents have an opportune time to establish their family altar, a place in the home to gather on purpose to bring concerns or problems before the strength of family and seek the LORD in prayer concerning all of the above.

The family altar is for training—a special, established place where each one grows in capacity to worship, both children and parents, together; and for gathering together before the Lord to receive wisdom for decisions and planning and to gain insight into His will for family matters. For example:
For generational issues that seemingly are “always with us,”
For specific health challenges common to family members - those things that “run in our family,” Prayer can break the hold of generation sickness that run in the family line. Remember He bore our sins and sicknesses thru His death on the cross.
For specific petition prayer to teach younger ones the principle of asking AND receiving.
A family altar is the center, the very heart of the home. It’s where we exchange what we inherited in a natural way for a blessed, spiritual inheritance. It is the place where faith is developed, heartache mended and families grow spiritually -together.

“Arise, cry out in the night,
  as the watches of the night begin;
pour out your heart like water
  in the presence of the Lord.
Lift up your hands to Him
  for the lives of your children…”
  Lamentations 2: 19

Deuteronomy 6 : 4 – 9 (This scripture I had to write down.)
6. And these words which I command you today shall be in your heart 7.You teach them diligently to your children. And shall talk of them when you sit in your house, when you walk by the way, when you lie down, and when you rise up. (Please read the rest of the scriptures listed below.)
Deuteronomy 11: 18 -21
Jeremiah 31: 17
Hosea 4 :6
Luke 11 : 9 – 17
Ephesians 6: 4

 I hope this blesses you, because it blessed me ! This is the year to put things in order!

Amen.

Wisdom


Have you ever thought of the word wisdom? Well this morning the word wisdom came to me, what does it really mean?

I said Father what do you want to teach me about wisdom? I know that many times, I have not walked in wisdom, when I look back at the choices I have made!
I know I have asked Jesus to help me, But I never at that time to asked for wisdom!
I guess this is the time to start asking for wisdom, I know as I’m writing the different books of the Bible, I'm so excited about doing the things Jesus has me do, It’s all about growing in Godliness.

I started in Matthew 5 Beatitudes This is what this book teaches on: Nine direct references to “the kingdom” are in this sermon calling for: humility (5:3), willingness to suffer persecution (5:10), earnest attention to God’s commandments (5:19), This is a big one! Refusal to substitute false piety for genuinely right behavior (5:20), this is also wisdom in verse 5:5 Meek does not mean weakness, but rather controlled strength.
The word carries the ideas of humility and not self-discipline.
The Godly person has confidence that God cares about his character, faithfulness, and integrity .
In 1 Kings 3:3 even small compromises in holiness, purity, and worship, even the slightest deviations from what you know to be right may eventually become major transgressions.
Wise Living (Teaches) 1 Kings 3:7-14 Do not presume to know how to do what the Lord has called you to do. (action) Cleave to the Lord. Depend upon Him for Wisdom!

Wisdom is stored in those who understand wisdom. It is not something they generate on their own, but that true wisdom comes only from the Lord. This divine wisdom is a gift to benefit all of mankind and is a storehouse, on call and ready for those in need of proven wisdom.
You and I are containers of the Lord in many ways as we “carry” Him into every detail of our day. When we show up He shows up; when we speak He speaks and our speaking is wisdom, graced to stand the test and carry the day. His words spoken through us are “spirit and life to those who find them” revealing answers and uncovering truth that may have been hidden.
You are a container of God’s wisdom. The Holy Spirit orders and refines the words you speak so that the storehouse of right and timely words is opened to those He sends you to. Compared to the wisdom of this age which is not good enough, in every area of life the Lord has His people who speak His truth and take that truth forth into each new day.
These things we also speak, not in words which man’s wisdom teaches but which the Holy Spirit teaches, comparing spiritual things with spiritual. (1Cor 2:13)
I pray that every day we remember to pray for wisdom, because our Father knows the days we live in. And we need Him to guide every day, I pray you remind us to pray these scriptures daily for wisdom.
Amen.
