Lord, Someone Is About To Give Up

Lord today within the Christian community someone is broken or have taken a U-Turn away from you. Someone has literally given up on God's scriptural promise.

Sometimes God will entrust you with a situation to liberate others with a song. Your past is not your future, you cannot give up and you must choose to worship God no matter what!

Sometimes we do fall down and sometimes we do breakdown. It is in those moments you must get up and stand up and tell yourself I must "be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might." Ephesians 6:10

You must pursue God for His divine help because asking is scriptural and asking is the first step one must scripturally take. "Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:" Matthew 7:7

Sometimes in life you have to stop running from the negative spiritual warfare of life you are currently facing that is somehow indirectly or directly pursuing you for no apparent reason. Not surprising some of these pursue are testing you to see what is your scriptural response. 

Sometimes life challenges will expose the unexposed within you to see what is your true scriptural composition. "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long-suffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law." Galatians 5:22-23

You have a  scripturally responsibility to remind some of those negative situation, situation cannot be challenge anymore because it's scripturally unchallenged. "and we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. Romans 8:28

The reason why these challenges happen, each negative pursue is designed to hold you back from operating in your divine purpose of who scripture says that you are.

Life challenges are preparing you to minister to the non ministered who are broken in their spirit. "Ministry of the word" tells us; "He health the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds." Psalm 147:3

Whoever you are, did you know you are carrying the ministry of hope within you and you are an ambassador chosen to represent scripture as a an overcomer? "There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us. Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord." Romans 8:1, 34-39

In this Christian journey you must turn around and finally face your "Saul" situation, face your past, face your fears, confront you as to why you have not self forgive you and to self ask you why do you continue to place scriptural limitations on you?"Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth." Mark 9:23

Some Christians need to stop being afraid of the unknown. For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. 2 Timothy 1:7

Sometimes you have to scripturally stand up and correct a love one who has transition into a state of scriptural numbness who has a disposition called adultery.  Sometimes you may have to tell your pastor adultery Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge.' Hebrews 13:4

You are called to be a scriptural soldier in all situations. "Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also. Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ. No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier. 2 Timothy 2:1-4

Sometimes you must put in the scriptural work and master 1 Peter 2:9 as a new identity. You are scripturally enveloped into this profound scriptural fact; "but ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should show forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light;"

Sometimes you have to say enough is enough! 

You must now get up, stand up in your situation and step out by faith and start "fight a good fight of faith" beginning and ending with scripture.

Today all you need to know is this;  God  "restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.

Sometimes you have to tell yourself; "I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of the Lord." Psalm 118:17

Sometimes you have to open your mouth and declare over your family, declare over your marriage, declare over your children, declare over your medical condition, over your "shadow of death" reality you may be facing right now as you receive man's prognosis which is not promising right now. With the scriptural strength you must still verbalize; "no (medical) weapon that is formed against (me) shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against (me) in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and their righteousness is of me, saith the Lord." Isaiah 54:17

Regardless of what you have done God loves you and you have the scriptural option which is available to you to acknowledge; "the Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is long-suffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance." 2 Peter 3:9

Sometimes you have to trust God and give God your situation back to start the process of scriptural transition. "Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths."  Proverbs 3:5-6 

Let us Pray!

Almighty God search my heart, my soul, my motive, my thoughts, and my desire. If there is anything that is unlike Christ and unlike God and unlike scripture today God, I am asking you to scripturally partnership with me right now. 

God please "order my steps in thy word: and let not any iniquity have dominion over me. Psalm 119:133

Acknowledge "if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. " 1 John 1:9

Amen!

"You Are More Than Conquer"

Devotional: You Have Value by Our Daily Bread 

I just want to encourage my Christians brethren it is important to walk in scriptural integrity. Once you take this Christian journey seriously expect to be tested to scripturally confirm if you are who you truly are in the word of God. 

Regardless of what your situation is right now, your situation is not who you are. 

All you have to do right now is to “called upon the Lord in (situations that is creating) distress: the Lord answered me, and set me in a large place. The Lord is on my side; I will not fear: what can man do unto me? Psalm 118:5-6 KJV

Sometimes you must speak scripture back into your situation to stop situations dead in its trap by envelope it with Psalm 23; “The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want” this situation anymore God as I give it back to you Almighty God. You must speak life always! 

It is up to you and I to thank God in advance for His scriptural promise of because God “restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me” 

Romans 8:31 scriptural reminder “If God be for us, who can be against us?”

In closing; always remember you are “more than conquerors” and to believe in something, and not to live it, is dishonest” Mahatma Gandhi 

Prophetess Elijah-Marie Reid

Scriptural Living Is Ongoing Scriptural Work

Sometimes during our Christian journey we go through unspeakable stuff, marital stuff, hurtful stuff, painful stuff and in the midnight hour we cry out to God and ask why? Why is not important. What is important is this: How are you going to scripturally respond to your anti-scriptural situation?

Your situation is a scriptural test to see if you are scripturally prepared to make a scriptural decision. Belief is a prerequisite for scriptural manifestation and you are the only one that can self-determine one’s scriptural position to self calm the storm of life. 

Many Christian men and many Christian women's life story including my own story is a summary of this song. 

Step #1 

In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you. 1 Thessalonians 5:18

Step #2 

Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old. Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert. Isaiah 43:18-19 

Step# 3 

Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven:  But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses. Luke 6:37, Matthew 6:15 

Step #4 

And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. Romans 8:28

Step #5 

Speak not evil one of another, brethren. He that speaketh evil of his brother, and judgeth his brother, speaketh evil of the law, and judgeth the law: but if thou judge the law, thou art not a doer of the law, but a judge. Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking guile. Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice: Wherefore laying aside all malice, and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envies, and all evil speakings, James 4:11, Psalm 34:13, Ephesians 4:31, 1 Peter 2:1

Step #6 

Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak. Matthew 26:41 

Step #7       

Acknowledge what you are dealing with is not physical but spiritual; “for we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled. Ephesians 6:12, 2 Corinthians 10:4-6 

Step #8 

Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life. Proverbs 4:2
What are “Issues of life” and how will “issue of life” affect your relationship in your marriage?

• “Issue of life - Judging someone - Judge not, that ye be not judged. For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again. And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye? Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye? Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye. Matthew 7:1-5 King James Version (KJV)

• “Issue of life - temptation -There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it. 1 Corinthians 10:13

• “Issue of life” - not apologizing or saying you are sorry. "Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much”  James 5:16

“Issue of life” - making excuses and being not being accountable to scripture is a sin if you are a Christian.

“Issue of life” is abuse and “having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. 2 Timothy 3:5

“Issues of life” is anti-love or conditional love. Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another. No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us.

“Issue of life” is not studying the word of God  “...to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. 2 Timothy 2:15

“issue of life” is physical murder or spiritual murdering one’s spirit or will to live.

“Issue of life” is stealing

“Issue of life” is making people, places or things becoming your worship or your god  For as I passed by, and beheld your devotions, I found an altar with this inscription, To The Unknown God. Whom therefore ye ignorantly worship, him declare I unto you. Acts 17:23

“issues of life” is "lack of knowledge”
My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.Hosea 4:6

“Issue of life is scriptural lawlessness. 

“Issues of life” is contempt of scripture is not applying the word to your life, to your action or inaction.

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.  Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him. Add thou not unto his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar. John 1:1, Proverbs 30:5-6

“Issue of life” is being disrespectful to your mother or your father

“isuse of life is spreading  hate  such as the Westboro Baptist Church. Hate is not the gospel of Jesus Christ. 

“Issues of life” is religious bullying and abuse of power. "Woe be unto the pastors that destroy and scatter the sheep of my pasture! saith the Lord. Therefore thus saith the Lord God of Israel against the pastors that feed my people; Ye have scattered my flock, and driven them away, and have not visited them: behold, I will visit upon you the evil of your doings, saith the Lord. Jeremiah 23:1-7

Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. But his delight is in the law of the Lord; and in his law doth he meditate day and night. And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper. The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away. Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous. For the Lord knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish. Psalm 1 

Step #9
Abstain from all appearance of evil. For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that ye should abstain from fornication: Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul. 

Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.

Sexual Sins 

All things are lawful unto me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any. Meats for the belly, and the belly for meats: but God shall destroy both it and them. Now the body is not for fornication, but for the Lord; and the Lord for the body. And God hath both raised up the Lord, and will also raise up us by his own power. Know ye not that your bodies are the members of Christ? shall I then take the members of Christ, and make them the members of an harlot? God forbid. What? know ye not that he which is joined to an harlot is one body? for two, saith he, shall be one flesh. But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit. Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body. What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? Scripture says, “The two will become one.” (Genesis 2:24) 17 But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit. 1 Thessalonians 5:22, 1 Thessalonians 4:3, 1 Peter 2:11, 1 Corinthians 6:9-19

Step #10 

And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also. Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ. No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier. 2 Timothy 2:2-4King James Version (KJV)

Step #11

"For a just man falleth seven times, and riseth up again" Proverbs 24:16

Step #12

The Lord looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, and seek God. Psalm 14:2

Letting go of yesterday is always self-determined to start the process to break every “issues of life” chain(s) off of your mind and off of your life.  There is power in the name of Jesus! 

For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. Romans 3:23, 1 John 1:9, John 3:16

For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. Seek ye the Lord while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near: Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the Lord, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon. For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts. Hebrews 4:12, 2 Peter 3:9, Isaiah 55:6-9, 

"The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want" anything and everything that is anti-scriptural, antichrist, anti-God or any anti-scriptural expectations to operate in my life.  No weapon that is formed against (my life) shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against (me) in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and their righteousness is of me, saith the Lord. Isaiah 54:17 

What is your scriptural identity? Is it Romans 8:37? "Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us” I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me. Philippians 4:13

Can you list who you are in scripture?

Let us pray! We are all God’s children.
