Walking in safety

Wait for it... It is coming

It's just not good enough for you yet.

Blessings and Prosperity??? Both?

Power from God

God has a reason

No good thing is being withheld from you

Walking in the ways of the wicked

"Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked or stand in the way of sinners or sit at the seat of mockers.  But his delight is in the law of the Lord...whatever he does prospers." 

Psalm 1: 1-3

Waste no time in evil and wicked ways (nor with evil and wicked people).  For those that do can be guaranteed these: their time is short and their steps will soon take them to the pits of darkness, death, and destruction.  

Therefore, delight yourself in God, and as the Word of God says, (in a nutshell), 'blessed is the man who delights himself in God for whatever he does - in goodness - prospers'. 

When we refuse to give up our evil practices and stubborn ways...

"... They refused to give up their evil practices and stubborn ways.  Therefore the Lord was very angry with Israel and said, "...I will no longer drive out any of the nations Joshua left when he died.  I will use them to test Israel and see whether they will keep the way of the Lord and walk in it as their forefathers did."

Judges 2:19,20-22

When we continually ignore the commands of the Lord, he has no choice but to let go and let us walk in our own stubborn ways.  We must remember that the Lord is polite and will not force us to do anything we do not want to do, including following him or following ourselves - our selfish ways.  So, let's not blame God when the world comes against us and darkness is winning. For we have made the choices for such consequences to be happening.  Instead let's repent, turn back to God and seek him and all his compassion. He loves us so much and is filled with so much mercy, he will turn his face back on us; he will shine his glory down; he will defeat the enemies against us; our lives will be bright again.  Yes, God is so good! And, although we make terrible choices against him, he forgives us when we repent.  He loves us, friends, he truly loves us.  Therefore, whatever the messes may be, turn to the Lord and give him back all the control.  

Be careful, be very careful, to obey God

"But be very careful to keep the commandment and the law that Moses the servant of the Lord gave you; to love the Lord your God, to walk in all his ways, to obey his commands, to hold fast to him and to serve him with all your heart and all your soul."

Joshua 22:5

If all else, one thing to keep constant in your life and never lose focus - God; obey him and his blessed laws and commands.  For if you do you will be victorious for all of your life, in all your endeavors, and favored highly wherever you go.

Your inheritance

“So on that day Moses swore to me, ”The land on which your feet have walked will be your inheritance and that of your children forever, because you have followed the Lord my God wholeheartedly.” ”

Joshua 14:9

Do not be dismayed that you don’t come from a wealthy family because the wealth you want lies above; the wealth you want is the wealth from Christ.  So keep following him, don’t look back, and know that you are blessed and prosperous more than any multi-gazillionaire on earth.  You have it all and never, ever, will you need any more.

Whatever happens is because of who or what you believe in.

"If you carefully observe these commands I am giving you to follow - to love the Lord your God, to walk in all his way and to hold fast to him - then the Lord will drive out these nations before you, and you will dispossess nations larger and stronger than you.  Every place where you set your foot will be yours: Your territory will extend... No man will be able to stand against you.  The Lord your God, as he promised you, will put terror and fear of you on the whole land, wherever you go.

See, I am setting before you today a blessing and a curse - the blessing if you obey the commands of the Lord your God that I am giving you today; the curse if you disobey the commands of the Lord your God and turn from the way that I command you today by following other gods, which you have not known...  You are about to cross the Jordan to enter and take possession of the land the Lord your God is giving you.  When you have taken it over and are living there, be sure that you obey all the decrees and laws I am setting before you today."

Deuteronomy 11:22-28, 31-32

It's all yours

“Lift your eyes from where you are and look north, south, east, and west.  All the land that you see I will give you and your offspring forever…  Go and walk through the length and breadth of the land, for I am giving it to you.”

Genesis 13:14-17

God’s Word is the same now as it was from the beginning; God’s Word is the same for you and me just as it was for Abraham.  Therefore, you and I have the same promises from God that Abraham had.  So look up, look down, look left, right, north, south, east, west… it is all yours from God.  Get up, get out, and go for it!

And remember, this promise is not only true for you but true for your offspring too.  Hallelujah.

Nothingness

“Jesus himself came up and walked along with them… then their eyes were opened…Jesus himself stood among them… Then he opened their minds so they could understand the scriptures…”

Luke 24: 15, 31, 36, 45

Without Jesus you have no sight to see, no ears to hear, no mind to understand, and no heart to love.  Simply, unless you have Jesus, you are filled with darkness and defeat – complete nothingness.

The WAY

“Stand by the ways and see and ask for the ancient path, the path where the good way is and walk in it; And you will find rest for your souls.”

Jeremiah 6:16

The good way: God’s way!

Find it!

How?

Ask him! And when he answers, listen to, and follow, what he tells you!

Finding your purpose thought of the day

If you are not walking and acting love, then you aren’t walking on the right path for your life; the God-given path of your purpose.

Therefore…

Walk in love and you will walk smack dab into your God-given purpose.

Before you can stand

“… Get down on your knees before the Master; it’s the only way you’ll get on your feet.”

-     James 4:7-10 MSG

You’ll never be able to stand and run if you first don’t kneel and pray.

Every good thing

“…I want you also to be smart, making sure every “good” thing is the real thing. Don’t be gullible in regard to smooth-talking evil. Stay alert like this, and before you know it the God of peace will come down on Satan with both feet, stomping him into the dirt…” Romans 16:190-20 MSG

If you want to know what to believe, what decisions to make, and choices to take, then dig into The Word.  In there you will find all guidelines and answers you need to move forward as well as what you should believe when it comes to worldly talk and ways.  Yes, in His Word you can test every worldly-stamped, so-called, good-thing and see if it aligns with God's words; if what the world says doesn't line up, turn and run from it – fast! And don't look back, it isn't worth your time or salvation.

Walk a life worthy of God's calling

“… walk (lead a life) worthy of the [divine] calling to which you have been called… with complete lowliness of mind (humility) and meekness (unselfishness, gentleness, mildness), with patience, bearing with one another and making allowance because you love one another.” Ephesians 4:1-2 AMPC

We are each called by God; hand-picked and pre-destined to do what he has planned for us to do.  We each have a purpose! However, not one of us is called to gossip, hurt, reject, hate, or disregard another.  
Therefore, make sure you walk out your calling the way God intends by keeping actions and attitudes in check and God-approved.  

Strive to enter through the narrow gate

“Strive to enter by the narrow door [force yourselves through it], for many, I tell you, will try to enter and will not be able.” Luke 13:24 AMP

The narrow door is the gateway to Heaven, to God’s heart, and to eternal salvation; those who enter through it leave legacies of blessings to many a people.  

So strive, every day, to be a blessing to everyone around you – give them a glimpse of God, so that when you are called, you will be one of the few who get to walk through the beautiful, narrow gates to Heaven.
