Understanding Authority

  As I sat here, thinking about spiritual authority, Adam and Eve flashed into my mind. Adam had been under God's authority since he was created and placed in the Garden of Eden. He was responsible for caring for the garden and making it flourish. Although God allowed Adam to eat from any tree in the garden, he also gave him one clear command: he must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Adam was warned that disobeying this command would result in death.   Adam became Eve's authority figure after she joined her husband in the garden. The devil disguised as a serpent approached Eve one day and questioned her about God's command. He asked her if God said they could not eat from any tree in the garden. Eve responded and this moment shows how the devil recognized authority, he knew God spoke to Adam and not Eve.  Eve’s behavior and response led to the fall of mankind.  Eve disobeyed God's command and both Adam and Eve were punished. They were exp...

I Am Fearless

 St. Luke 12: 6 - 7 MSG (Transliteration) “ What’s the price of two or three pet canaries? Some loose change, right? But God never  overlooks a single one. And he pays even greater attention to you, down to the last detail— even numbering the hairs on your head! So don’t be intimidated by all this bully talk. You’re  worth more than a million canaries." Why are we so intimidated by the enemy of our souls?  God our Father is concerned about the minute details of our lives; therefore, the seemingly big things are under His control. Praise the Lord! W hen I meditated on this Scripture,  I had to repent and ask God to forgive me for living a less-than-life in Christ Jesus. Sometimes we often accept and allow the bullying tactics of the devil to retard  our spiritual and physical life but today I declare that it is over in Jesus name. The Word of God brings understanding and revelation, so we now live and operate as bold people, who are not intimidated by the de...

Being Filled with the Spirit

  The key to Simeon's great anticipation was that he was filled with the Holy Spirit. As believers today, we too must seek to be filled and guided by the Spirit. When we walk in step with the Spirit, He will lead us into greater revelation and understanding of God's truth. The fullness of the Spirit empowers us to live righteously, worship wholeheartedly, and cultivate within us a spirit of wisdom and discernment. We cannot manufacture anticipation for Christ's return in our own strength. Our flesh will become weary and distracted. But when we turn fully to the Spirit and make room for Him to fill us, He keeps our lamps burning and eyes fixed on what is to come. The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God destined for an eternal inheritance (Romans 8:16). As we yield to the Spirit each day through prayer, worship, and digging into God's Word, our anticipation grows for the glorious appearing of our Lord and Savior. The same Spirit who ra...

Communion with Jesus

St. Mathew 26: 27-29   27   Then he took a cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them, saying,  “ Drink from it, all of you.   28   This is my blood of the [ b ]  covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins. 29   I tell you, I will not drink from this fruit of the vine from now on until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father’s kingdom.” I read this Scripture and I was thrilled in my spirit, knowing that Jesus is waiting to host us (His Bride) at the Marriage Feast. He is longing to have Holy Communion with us. Can you see Jesus seating us at the Banquet Table? Hallelujah!! I have a seat and you have a seat. My brothers and sisters, I plead with us!!! Do not allow the distractions of the world, flesh, and the devil to derail us and cause us to miss our seats at the table. Father,  I pray for my brothers and sisters that we will behold Jesus at the Marriage Supper of the Lamb. Amen
