Frontline Living is a study I put out as often as possible. It deals with the issues of everyday living and the situations we face. Frontline  Living has helped many make it through the day just when someone felt as though there was no hope, they came across Frontline Living. The answer is always Biblical, and never beyond comprehension. I am positive as you read Frontline Living you will be back for another dose. You'll wonder why something so simple was always made to be so hard.

Salvation

First and foremost are you saved? not that you have to be to read Frontline, you don't. Do you know where you'll spend eternity? Romans 10:9-10 tells us "That if thou will confess the the mouth, the Lord Jesus, and believe with the heart that God has raised Him from the dead, thou shall be saved. For with the heart man believes unto righteousness and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation".

Right now it is so simple, all you have to do if you haven't already is say 'Jesus come into my life and save me, make me new, I confess you right now as my Savior, I believe that God has raised you from the dead, so right now I speak it out of my mouth and believe it in my heart, just as Your Word says, so therefore I know I am saved.

It's that simple, if you took this step, I would like to be the first to welcome you into the family of God. You are now born again in Christ Jesus.

Spiritual Warfare

Spiritual warfare is not a momentary gust of emotion to frighten the devil away in a few moments of time. Quite the opposite! Real spiritual warfare is a mental condition and a life-long commitment; it is not so much an action as it is a determined and committed attitude of the mind. The apostle Paul understood that spiritual warfare was an attitude and a life-long commitment. After being outwardly buffeted by demonic forces who had come against his ministry, Paul prayed three times and asked the Lord to remove this messenger of Satan, that had been sent to buffet him, (Second Corinthians 12:7) and to keep him from moving into higher realms of revelation. Yet the buffeting was never removed. In response to Paul's request to rid him of the buffeting, the Lord answered him by saying, My grace is sufficient for thee. (12:9) Paul had made a request which was unrealistic. As long as Paul was effective for God and was doing damage to the realm of darkness, he was going to be opposed by demonic forces. Rather than offer Paul false promises that he could achieve a life free of opposition, the Lord promised instead to give him the grace and power he needed to conquer each of these attacks as they came. Though Paul's outward circumstances were a constant challenge, and though invisible, spiritual opposition stirred up horrible community hatred toward him everywhere he went, and though the government of that day stood in his way and sought to block the gospel message, he was never destroyed by  any of these outward attacks.

God's grace was sufficient for Paul

WORDS

  Frontline Living For the last couple of weeks, we have been talking on the subject of words. Words that build up and words that destroy. I had mentioned that in Genesis chapter 1 that we were created in the image and likeness of God, and that if He has the ability to create with His words, so can we. Words will either create life or destruction. Many words have been spoken that have caused some to murder, some to hate, some to cry, some to worry. words have been spoken that have caused others to laugh, others to give others to love. Our words have a lasting affect on others because of the creative force behind them. It is important to understand that the tongue is more than something you stick out at someone. James 3:6 says, "And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity: so is the tongue among our members, that it defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire of hell." vv.8 "But the tongue can no man tame; it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison." vv.9 "Therewith bless we God, even the Father; and therewith curse we men, which are made after the similitude of God." vv.10 "Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be." The preceding verses talk about the small bits in horses mouths, and the helm of large ships, how they can control the direction to which these large things can be controlled, so is this little thing we call the tongue, able to control and determine the direction for our lives. People use to get onto me because in my first year of Bible college, I would word police people, typical of fresh zeal, but a hindrance to getting others to see things in the Lord. There does have to be finesse in the way we approach others, But with your permission, let me show you what I am talking about, and then you ask yourself if you have ever done this. Now remember, our tongues set into action the course of nature. How are you doing today? Not so good. why is that? Well I just can't seem to get going, and every time I try to do something right, it turns out all wrong. Well have you sought the Lord for direction? YEH BUT! Hey! You better get to the store and stock up on medicine, Flu season is here. I know and every time it rolls around I get it. You stupid idiot, how many times do I have to tell you the same thing over and over again? I am convinced that you will never amount to anything. Someone that makes statements like the ones in red, have not put the Word of God to work. As in Romans 4:17 Like Abraham did, after God had told him he was going to be a father of many nations. He didn't say 'yeh right God.' The Bibles says that he never even considered his body now dead, in the area of producing, but called those things that be not as though they were. You know, I am sorry to hear that you are not doing so good, but the Lord thy God is my strength. There are no YEH BUTS when God is who you are leaning on for direction. And as far as the Flu season goes, it can come right to my front door, but it can't come in, because, I am anointed and set aside to walk in healing, no plague shall come nigh thy dwelling place, and even if I felt a little under the weather the Bible gives me over 125 scriptures that allow me to know that by HIS stripes I was and am healed. The point I am trying to make here is, that what ever you meditate on long enough will eventually come out of your mouth, and will set into actions your words.... If you plant good or bad seed with your itty bitty tongue, you will eventually have yourself a bumper crop of record breaking proportions. Matthew 12:34 " Oh generation of vipers, how can you being evil, speak good things? For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh." 15:18 "But those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart, and they defile the man." So what are you saying Pastor Jeff, that I am to keep my mouth shut? No, Just know that the words that do proceed from your mouth are going to have a lasting affect on yours or someone else's life. The only way that we are going to be sure that the words we speak are going to be life giving words that build and not destroy, is to get into the Word of God....No longer can we afford to walk through life just spouting off things, that we have tried to convince ourselves mean nothing. Every word we speak does something to the one speaking them and to the one that is hearing them. Mark 11:21 -23, Jesus and His disciples were walking along, and Peter remembering the fig tree that Jesus had cursed the day before was withered up and dead. He mentions this to Jesus and Jesus said, " Oh yeh Peter, when I got to that fig tree I expected to see fruit on it, (our lives) but when I got there it had no fruit, so I cursed it with my words, I commanded it to die. Then He goes on to say, "that whosoever shall SAY unto this mountain, be removed, and be cast into the sea, and shall not doubt in his heart but believe that those things which he SAITH shall come to pass, he shall have WHATSOEVER he SAITH. Jesus is saying that if you have an area in your life that is not producing good fruit, you have the authority through your words to either accept the deadness or curse it and speak life into it and bring it back to life. If you believe in your heart, that God has a better plan, and you have scripture that allows you to believe this way, then you have power and authority through your words to command the bad into the sea and command the Word to come alive concerning you. I Timothy 4:12 "Let no man despise your youth; but be an example of the believers, in WORD, in conversation, (action) in charity (love) in spirit, in faith, in purity. 13, Till I come, give attendance to reading, to exhortation, to doctrine. 15, Meditate upon these things; give thyself wholly to them; that thy profiting may appear to all. 16, Take heed unto thyself, and unto the doctrine (teaching) continue in them: for in doing so, you will save yourself, and those that hear you. The Word is saying here, don't allow anyone to make you feel bad about being young in your Christian walk. That no matter how old you are in the Lord and in His Word, just be sure that you remain a good Christian example. You do not have to be a graduate from seminary to get people saved. Just being who God has called you to be, and an example of that lifestyle alone will be enough to get others saved. Stay in the Word, build others up, and continually meditate on the Word that you have been taught. Pour your life into it. The Word says that as you do this there is going to be a profiting take place that will appear unto all. Whatever you give your all to, even if your mouth never opens, people are going to see the reward, good or bad. Then the Word goes on to say that, we are to pay attention to ourselves and the Word.... Don't get hung up on what others are doing. Take heed to yourself and the teaching that you have heard. Examine yourself to see how you are lining up with the Word of God. As you get in line with His Word, the example you start to become (God like) will produce a reward in your life, that all will see, and as a result, it will cause others to get saved. A perfect example is when Paul and Silas were in prison. They had been beaten, put in chains, and their arms and legs in stocks. Why? for spreading the good news, starting churches, by not doing what the world wanted, but what God wanted, and as a result they were imprisoned. Acts 16:25 And at midnight ( the darkest hour of their life), they didn't whine and request cheese and crackers to go with it. They didn't say woe is me, hey thanks God. No, it says that they prayed and sang praises unto God: and the prisoners HEARD them. The moment you become down and out as a Christian, you can rest assured that as you open your mouth to voice your demise, that there will be someone waiting in the wings to hear what comes out of your mouth. Every prisoner in the place, plus the prison guard heard them, and as a result, the prison guard and his whole family got saved. Are the words that proceed out of your mouth causing others to run from God, or are they causing other to run right into His arms? Just because we call ourselves Christians, doesn't make it so. Christianity is translated Christ like. If your life is not producing fruit that makes you to appear as Jesus in skin, sorry you are not a Christian. In fact you are a want to be, and they are on every street corner. I find myself, even as a Pastor, missing it, just by the words that proceed from my mouth under pressure. We have to be like sponges sucking up every drop of Word we can get, so when we are squeezed, only Word comes out. I like what a good friend and brother in the Lord, (Danny Chambers) once said. "If Christianity was outlawed, would there be enough evidence in your life to convict you?" We have to know that we have a relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ, 24-7. It is not just a Sunday Wednesday thing. We have to continually see how our lives are lining up with the Word of God, and when we find that we are misaligned, then we need to get on the rack to be re-aligned. When the hard times and the test and the trials show up on your doorstep, will you fall because of your words, or will you be exalted because Jesus came out of your mouth? I stand before God and the world today, saying, that lately I have been under pressure, and I have said something's I know have not been right, yes Pastors are human too. But I want to say to my wife and family, that I apologize and ask your forgiveness. Well Be blessed in the Lord. I know that this word is going to hit home, and when it does, don't run from it but to it. You will feel better for doing so. Remember, your words will deliver you, or destroy you on the frontlines of life.

HOW FAITH COMES

But without FAITH it is impossible to please Him, for he that comes to God MUST BELIEVE that He is, and that HE is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him. Hebrews 11:6

Notice the first part of that verse, "But without faith it is impossible to please Him"

If God demands for us to have faith when it is impossible to have faith, then we have the right to challenge His justice. But if He places within our hands the means whereby faith can be produced, then the responsibility rests with us as to whether or not we have faith.

God has told us that without faith it is impossible to please Him, but He has also told us how to obtain faith. He has told us how faith comes.

ROMANS 10:17 - "So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God.

If we don't have faith, it is not God's fault. To blame God for our lack of faith is nothing but ignorance. God has provided the way whereby everyone can have faith.

Faith for salvation comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God. The Apostle Paul said that we are saved by faith. "For by grace are you saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is a gift of God" (Eph. 2:8)

How do we get faith to be saved?

ROMANS 10:9,10,13......"That if thou shalt confess with the mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised Him from the dead, thou shalt be saved........for with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.........for WHOSOEVER shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.

First of all we are not talking about the heart, that muscle that pumps the blood through your body, but we are talking about a mans spirit. Some call it your conscience.....But it is that part of man that has a belief system put there by the creator, (God). A good way to try out your spirit man is to attempt to do something wrong and you'll hear a still small voice say , "you better not" This is the heart of man or mans spirit, the very being of man, (your inner man). Also it is not the head of man that causes him to believe, IT IS THE HEART of man. As a person attempts to walk out his salvation that person will find that his mind will argue with his heart.

If you study the Bible you will find several verses where the words faith and belief or believe are used interchangeably. And simply put, faith is believing. We use our faith everyday and never realize it, and others have said that the faith message is not for today, but that would be like saying that believing isn't for today. If faith is believing then the faith message is for today, and the faith message is simply believing the word of God as truth or rejecting it as a lie.

Faith is simply believing in something you have not yet seen.

I often sit in amazement, ("now don't get me wrong",) I've been here myself, but how people will say they believe in Jesus, they believe in God, they believe He created everything on this earth, but they don't believe in healing, they don't believe in other tongues, they don't believe in the prosperity message. The reason  is this, they haven't seen any proof. Well they haven't seen Jesus in the flesh, nor God, or were around during the time of creation.

If we believe one part of God, then we have to believe all of God. The Bible is not the Burger King Book of Life But it is the Book of Life, and if we intend to live life to the fullest then we are going to have to come to the realization that God has given us His Word to believe and if we act upon His Word then and only then will He reveal Himself to us through His promises.

The main principal for healing as with salvation is confessing with the mouth, and believing with the heart........believing for financial prosperity, confessing with the mouth and believing with the heart. (NOTE) The healing message and the prosperity message do go much deeper than this as does salvation, but the principal is the same, taking God at His Word NO MATTER what the natural outcome is. We serve a supernatural God and He alone is capable of responding to our needs in a supernatural way.

Faith has not been done away with! It comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God!

In the event of the woman with the issue of blood, Jesus did not say that it was His power that made her whole; He said that her faith did it.

We need to see these acts as a way to our healings. These are not just boring stories of old that some men put in a book, but they are guide lines for us to read, study, and implement into our lives so that God can prove Himself real to us.

If her faith made her whole, and God is no respecter of persons, then our faith can make us whole.

I have had many opportunities to minister on healing. It is a message very close to my heart, because I have experienced healing personally and have family members also who have been blessed with God's healing power that was activated through belief in His Word. There is a point I want to stress, and we will go deeper as we continue in the following weeks.

The point is this; although faith comes by hearing the Word of God, the Bible tells us very clearly, that it works by love......you can know the Bible inside out, quote scripture upside down and sideways, you could have heard enough Word to move mountains all day long, BUT.....BUT........BUT.......BUT.....if you are not walking in love, your faith is dead and stinking in the water.

It is the same with our finances, if we do not give back to God, The first fruits of our increase (the Tithe) 10%. Then we have no right to believe for prosperity.

I want to touch base on a scripture in closing. Mk.11:22-24, And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God......(have belief in God). For verily I say unto you, that WHOSOEVER shall SAY unto this mountain, be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he SHALL have whatsoever he saith. Therefore (or for this reason) I say unto you, what things so ever you desire when you pray, believe that you receive them, and ye shall have them, and when you stand praying, FORGIVE. If you have ought against ANY: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.

#1. First and foremost, Believe God.

#2. Confess with your mouth your request to God.

#3. Believe you have the answer before you see the answer......EVEN if it looks like you don't.

#4. make sure that your love walk is in order, get your differences worked out with those to which you have them, then pray, otherwise the unforgiveness ties God's hands.

#5. Rejoice in the fact that you have stood on the Word of God and His principals and for this reason He is now obligated to fulfill His end of the bargain.

Too many people have not fulfilled their end of faith simply because they were not walking in love. People, Christians have gone to the grave sick, blaming God, when it wasn't God at all, but resentment, unforgiveness, and hatred towards another.

I can honestly say because I have stood when I thought I would rather die, that God does come through as he said He would, but it is dependent on our level of faith, and it all starts with just a mustard seed on the Frontlines of Living.

Thank You and God Bless

Are you teachable is the question I want to put before you today? Are you teachable is the question you should ask yourself. In order to receive from the Word of God, first and foremost we have to have a teachable spirit about us. One of the things I learned in Bible College was that a person that excepts the Lord as their personal savior will usually do it before the age of 18. Oh the further that I get into the work of the ministry, the more I find that this is so true to life. Anyone that has ever tried to witness to a person will know exactly what I am talking about. A young person or teen, you can usually witness to without a whole lot of resistance. But try witnessing to an adult that has grown up one way or their belief's differ slightly from your own, or they do something a certain way, it is like pulling teeth to try and teach this person something new. One of the reason is, and there are many, but the one I would like to focus on is that they do not have a teachable spirit. The Bible says, "Verily I say unto you, except ye be converted, and become like little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven. Whosoever therefore, (or for this reason,) shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven." (Matthew 18:3-4) Jesus basically is showing us that it is easier to deal with a child, than it is and adult, because they haven't had their minds trained and set in stone, like those of us who have and do not like change...... He goes on to say that if we humble ourselves, if we can say, "ok, maybe I don't know everything, and maybe what I do know or have been taught is wrong", then He has something to work with. An unteachable spirit is an unwillingness to change. Millions refuse to implement new and vital information as it becomes available. Imagine a lawyer who refused to read new laws and update his understanding. Would you choose a surgeon who was unfamiliar with the latest discoveries? The most successful businesses are those who adapt to new policies, produce new products and keep informed. They consult with experts. They analyze their own procedures. GROWING MEANS CHANGE. It is a part of prospering. As in our spiritual walk, there has to be growth, there has to be change, we have to stay updated with the Word of the living God, or our walk becomes stagnated and dead. I see this too much with people, Christianity is a bore and they often wonder, why some of us are excited about something, that to them seems useless. People are into like I've said before, the microwave deal.... They want it now and they want it to feel good. Heaven forbid that anyone would have to wait for anything nowadays. A quick fix never last. I was ministering to a man in Thailand the other day, and he wanted to know about Jesus...well at least he thought he did. Well as I began all was well, BUT the moment I started going against the grain of what he had been taught he was gone. Why was this? He couldn't humble himself as a little child, he didn't have a teachable spirit. Jesus says that a person in this state will not enter the kingdom of heaven, why, cause he won't take time to listen long enough to see what it is going to take to get there. He tried to convince me, that there are many religions and all are good for the people. Well, If it doesn't lead you to the foot of the cross and cause you to have a direct relationship with the ONLY living God, You might as well stay home and watch Scooby Doo or something like that. A teachable spirit, do you have one? You know one way to find out and test yourself, is to get around someone talking about something you really have no facts on, and if you start to get upset before you have heard the conclusion, chances are you do not have a teachable spirit. Try getting a new Job, and when the supervisor tries to explain to you what to do, and you say, "that's ok I can do this" watch how long you last. People we need to develop a teachable spirit. I am not saying believe everything that comes down the pike, but we need to develop an attitude, that says, hmmm, you know what? maybe I don't know all there is to know, and maybe what I know is ALL wrong. Spiritually, we serve a living God. If the place you go to worship is dead, then you need to ask yourself, is the living God here? Julie my wife, for those of you who do not know her, she called for me to come see one of my favorite ministers on TV the other night. The man has an awesome ministry, one that not many will have anything to do with (deliverance). Anyway he was asked to share his views on that show, (politically correct)...these guest stars were hammering away on the guy so bad, and everything he was saying was straight from the Bible, but these people wouldn't shut up long enough to hear what he had to say. I told Julie, I have to take my hat off to him, because I couldn't sit there like he did and put up with the garbage...But He was humble, and had that look on his face, like Lord bless their ignorant hearts..... What was I seeing? these people didn't want to hear what he had to say, they did not have a teachable spirit. Do you have a teachable spirit? I was brought up in several different denominations growing up, and even as a kid, I could tell that something just wasn't right. And when I was old enough to call my own shots, I quit going to church. Why? Because it was dead...there was no more God there than the man in the moon, well I take that back, maybe the man in the moon was there, cause God surely wasn't, and it left a lasting impression on my spirit. I said if this is what God is all about, see ya, and I wouldn't want to be ya. Well after much prayer from others to see to it that would make it into heaven, the Holy Spirit arrested me and showed Himself real in my life to a point that there was no mistaking, that there is a God, and He is alive... It didn't stop there, I had to have a spirit teachable to a point that I would be willing to listen and see for myself what the Bible truly had to say about me. I literally said in a healing service one night with rebellion rising up big time, Lord I do not understand any of this mumble jumble, and I think it is a bunch of nonsense, BUT, if you are real, if this is real, if healing is for me, then show me something. Now I know that the Bible says that we are not to ask for signs in order to believe, But God knew I was on the threshold of my receiving and when the man called me forward, he spoke to me things that I had only cried out to God about, He even gave me a biblical answer to a question I had had just two days prior. This is basically where I said....."allllllllllllllllllllllllllll righty then." I had a teachable spirit...... didn't like what I was hearing, but I was willing to be open, and search the scriptures myself, to see whether or not they were true. We need to be teachable in this life, on our jobs, in our homes and most of all spiritually.... other wise we will perish. Hosea 4:6 says, "My people are destroyed for a lack of knowledge." Simply put, people are trading in their true salvation, because they are to busy to learn. Proverbs 1:5 says, "A wise man will hear, and will increase learning." Most of us as adults were trained up as children as what we were to believe, well this will not wash, when we stand before A true and living God. He has created us with the ability to learn, and achieve success in this life. He has raised up mighty men Of God full of knowledge who are ready and willing to share the truth with us today concerning our spiritual growth. It is up to you as an individual to put what man tells you to the test.........pick up your BIBLES!!!!!!!! and see that there is a devil out there and he wants you to believe a lie....If he can, you will not go to heaven. There is only One God, there is only one Bible and there is only one way to get to heaven, and that is by being teachable to receive the truth and reject the lies. If your car is worth $30.00 dollars of gas, surely your mind and spirit are worth growing. DON'T BANKRUPT YOUR MIND! DON'T STARVE YOUR HEART. FEED IT WHAT IT DESPERATELY NEEDS. Dare to accept change. dare to listen? Are you teachable? Do you want to be teachable? Or are you willing to toss it all away? In order to survive on the Frontlines of life, You will have to be teachable. God Bless You All, and I pray that you have received from this teaching.

WHAT MUST I DO TO BE SAVED?

For a time now I have been guilty of ministering the truth from the Word of God, but only the truth that I felt others would love to hear. I have been intimidated by the fact that if I said something contrary to ones upbringing, I would not be received and therefore would have no one to minister to. The fact of the matter is this, I have been relying on my own ability, and not that of the Lord, and I can no longer minister what you want to hear, but what you have to hear to be saved. My heart is to see all those that I come into contact with receive the Lord as Savior, and to shine forth God's light to which is able in and of itself to destroy all darkness. My intent is not to offend ANYONE, but to present the Bible for what it is, LIFE GIVING. If you go to a church, and that church compromises the Word of God, then you need to run and run hard. If you do not feel any better but worse than when you arrived, then there is not life there. Oh I am feeling lead to go in another direction at the moment. Definitions: Darkness: shadiness, obscurity, void or partially void of light. Transmitting only a portion of light. Lacking knowledge or culture. Not clear to the understanding. Arising from or showing evil traits or desires. Light: Something that makes vision possible, spiritual illumination, to shine or make manifest. Matthew 15:9 But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men. Colossians 2:8 BEWARE, lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the TRADITION of men, after the rudiments of this world, and NOT AFTER CHRIST. 1 Peter 1:18 Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with the corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by TRADITION from your fathers; BUT with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without spot. There are so many roads in this life that one can go down, but the Bible makes it very clear that Jesus Christ is the only way to get to heaven. I am so sick and tired of listening to people who have been lied to, or have this belief that God is this old guy in heaven with a long white beard just waiting for an opportunity to throw down one of His lightening bolts at the first person that does something wrong. People are under the delusion that if they mess up, they are hell bound for good, others believe that you get to heaven by being a good person, others believe whatever they believe, but I am telling you today, that whatever you believe, if there is not a peace stirring in you, a peace that makes you want to go out and share it with the rest of the world, then all you have is darkness. You see according to the Bible, (THE Word Of GOD), Satan is the father of all lies, and if you are believing something other than the Bible, then you are believing a lie. The Bible from Genesis to Revelation points to one person, and that is Jesus. You see you have to ask yourself this question, is what I am being taught causing light to shine in the darkness of my life? If not it is a lie....The Word of God is light , the Word of God is Jesus, the Word of God is God. There is only One God, there is only one Bible and there is only one truth and that is Jesus Christ. If you have paid for an education, and you have gone for 4 years to achieve your credentials, and at the end of that time you are no where closer to knowing that skill, then when you started out, you have been ripped off. People like me, who's heart it is to speak life from the Word, we are not your enemy, the devil is the enemy. His number one goal is to influence the world with a lie, a lie that sounds pretty good and close, but nevertheless a lie, a lie that will send millions to hell. It breaks my heart to listen to people who are sold on religious traditions of men, because it sounds so good, how could it be wrong...almost like buying a Rolex for five dollars, it says Rolex right on it, but in fact is a cheap imitation.....and that is what the devil is and has been offering ever since he got his butt kicked out for trying to exalt himself above God.....and a warning to ministers that teach mans law......you are exalting your lies and one day will have to answer for the lives you have caused to go to hell. What you teach is a cheap imitation, and there is no life in that. John 1:1 In the beginning was the WORD. And the WORD was with God, and the WORD was God. v.2 The same (WORD) was in the beginning with God. v.3 All things were made by Him; and without Him was not anything made that was made. v.4 In Him was life; and the life was the light of men. v.5 And the light shineth in the DARKNESS; and the DARKNESS comprehended it not. v.14 And the WORD was made flesh (Jesus) and dwelt among us, (and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth. This bit of scripture has caused the light to come on for many. Jesus is the way, the Word of God. The Bible tells us to try the spirits, whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. (1 John 4:1). There are people who have grown up in religions that don't even attend church anymore, why? because what they were taught was a lie, it wasn't life changing, and God was nowhere in it. People go to churches today where they treat one another like dirt, cutting each other down, back stabbing etc, why is this?, Because Jesus is nowhere in the vicinity. Man tells us that we have to do such and such and do even more, and when it is all over, we feel no different. Man has his own agenda and will compromise if he has to. But if you are being fed the Word of God there will be a noticeable difference. It is not important what church you are in. The important thing is: What family are you in? It is not for me to get your money, or to have you attend our ministry, the important thing is, do you have a personal relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ. John 3:3 Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. v.5 Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. Ephesians 2:8,9 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is a gift of God: NOT of WORKS, lest any man should boast. 2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creation: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. Romans 10:9-10 That if thou shalt confess with the mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised Him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. What must one do to be saved? Call on Jesus....It doesn't matter what church you attend or what church you use to attend, it doesn't matter what you have done, or what you may be thinking of doing, Jesus said that if ANY man come to Him, He would in NO way cast out. Jesus didn't come to condemn the world but to save the world, period dot. Anyone that teaches otherwise is a liar and their boss is already awaiting his sentence. Well I believe that because this was Word, God is going to move. If you have been ministered to, please tell us... If you have accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord and savior over this Please tell us, so we can rejoice with you. God Bless You.

NOW FAITH IS

Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
Hebrews 11:1
In this passage of scripture, God tells us what Bible faith is.
Moffatt's translation of this verse reads. "Now faith means that we are confident of what we hope for, convinced of what we do not see." Another translation says, "Faith is giving substance to things hoped for." And still another translation reads, "Faith is the warranty deed, the thing for which we have finally hoped is at last ours."
There are a number of kinds of faith. Everyone, saved or unsaved, has a natural, human faith. But here God is talking about a scriptural faith. He is talking about a Bible faith.
He is talking about believing in your heart. There is a big difference between believing in your heart and just believing what your physical senses tell you!
Faith is grasping the unrealities of hope and bringing them into the realm of reality.
For example, you hope for finances to meet the obligations that you have to pay. Faith gives you the assurance that you will have the money when you need it..
"Faith is the evidence of things not seen."
You hope for physical strength to do the work that you must do. Faith says, "The Lord is my strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid" (Ps. 27:1).
Faith will say about itself, everything the Word says, for faith in God is simply faith in His Word.
Many people want to get something and then believe they've got it. But you have to believe you have something and then you receive it.
Faith is giving substance to the things hoped for.
I have gone to work when my physical senses told me I was too sick to work, But instead of staying home, I acted on God's Word; I went to work, I hoped for the physical strength to do the work, but it was my faith, that gave me the substance to what I had hoped for. Faith says, "God is the strength of my life." As I acted on God's Word. faith gave substance to that for which I had hoped.
A lot of people just hope - and stop there. That won't work. Faith is the substance of things hoped for. If you say, "Well I hope God hears my prayer," and that's all you do, He didn't, and there will not be any answer. But your faith can and will give substance to the answer to that prayer.
Remember this: Hope says, "I will have it sometime."
Faith says, "I have it now."
John Wesley said, "The devil has given to the Church a substitute for faith which looks and sounds so much like faith some people can't tell the difference."
He called it "mental assent."
Many people see what God's Word says and acknowledge that it is true - but it is only with there minds that they are agreeing, and this will not get the job done. It is heart faith the receives from God. Notice what the Bible says, "For with the heart man believeth....."
(Romans10:10).
Jesus said in Mark 11:23.."whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass, he shall have whatsoever he saith."
If you look real close there is nothing mentioned about the head, only the heart.
You may ask, how do you know if you have heart faith , or are just agreeing with the head?
If it is the head, you will say, " I know God's Word is true, I know healing is for me, but for some reason, I just can't see it, and I can't understand it."
Real faith in God's Word says, "If God's Word says it is so, then it is so. It is mine I have it now." Real faith also says, "I have it when I can't see it."
We must take the step of believing to come to the place of knowing.
Many want to know first then believe., But we have to know it from the standpoint that God's Word said it is so. Then and only then will the thing we are believing for materialize.
Notice that Jesus said in Mark 11:24, "what things so ever you desire when you pray, BELIEVE the you receive them, and you shall have them. Now notice that the having comes after the believing. Most people today want to turn this around, and it will just not work. But guess who gets the blame when it doesn't?
In common everyday terms, Jesus said, "You have to believe you've got it before you get it."
The Bible says that we confess with our mouth the Lord Jesus Christ and believe in our heart that God has raised him (Jesus) from the dead, in order to be born again or saved.
There is no other way than that of God's Word. Many of us have done this, and as I mentioned in the teaching a couple of weeks ago, the same holds true to receiving financial blessings and healings....
There are however other principals that go along with all of this in order not to negate the promises.
The point I am trying to make is this...
If I asked you if you believed in Jesus Christ and that God raised Him from the dead and you agreed, you would be saved and you would be happy with that, and there would probably be no questions asked.
But!!!!!
If I asked you if you believed you were healed because that is what the Word of God says, there might be some doubt, merely because physically speaking you might not feel healed.
The same would hold true to financial blessings....
If your bank account says zero and I told you, "You are financially blessed," you would probably want to slap me.
BUT... It isn't what your bank account looks like, or what you body feels like, it is what the Word of God says concerning you.
Now if He said, "Beloved I wish above ALL things that thou mayest PROSPER, and be in HEALTH, even as your soul PROSPERS, (III John 2), then we need to find out what it is we need to do to line up with the Word of God, in order for these things to come to pass in our lives.
And no matter what your mind tries to convince you of through the lies of the devil, you need to stand on the Word of God and Let Him be true and every man a liar.
This is the only way you will receive His best on the Frontlines of Living.
God Bless you all as you grow in His Word.
