"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

Divorcing The Spirit Of Adultery - John 8:3-12

Disclaimer

God created you in His own image. "So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.” Genesis 1:27

A sin decision will create within you a sin image to destroy God’s scriptural image of who you are.

Any anti-scriptural action somehow will set the stage to start a divorce procedure against God based on lack of scriptural integrity, self-discipline, choice and a self-decision.  An anti-scriptural action are like bedbugs. It just takes one sin act or an anti-scriptural action to cause an anti-scriptural infraction base on "Ministry of the Word"application due to "lack of knowledge". Hosea 4:6

If you fail to apply the word, before you know it you will have a spiritual infestation in your salvation bed within your “temple” sucking out the blood coverage of Jesus Christ out of your salvation promise. "But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.” 1 John 1:7

The sin infestation will cause you to be spiritually useless, anti-scripturally mummified, and scripturally deaf to the word of God. Sin will leave you scripturally dumb because you cannot speak the word over your own life, scripturally deaf because you cannot even hear God speaking to you, scripturally blind because you are so blind to the sin you have committed and scripturally dead to the word of God. "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.” Hebrews 4:12

Sometimes, we must divorce our past sin disposition in exchange for God's scriptural promise. Jesus was setting up the atmosphere to pluck this woman of great potential out of her circumstances who had the “issues of life”; lifestyle called adultery. “This woman was taken in adultery, in the very act.” Her story was about being psychologically robbed of her identity as a woman by the spirit of adultery. She was enslaved by the spirit of adultery transitioning her from an invisible perspective to become physically visible to confront her issue. Jesus was indirectly saying to her, as it is written: “for I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end” Jeremiah 29:11 "The scribes and Pharisees” secured her position that day "to give (her) an expected end”. The biblical depiction and accounts were careful to carve out her entire history and her accounts as it is written in John 8:3-12; “ And the scribes and Pharisees brought unto him a woman taken in adultery; and when they had set her in the midst, They say unto him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act. Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what sayest thou? This they said, tempting him, that they might have to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground, as though he heard them not. So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her. And again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground. And they which heard it, being convicted by their own conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest, even unto the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst. When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw none but the woman, he said unto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee? She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more. Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.” 

Her encounter with Jesus was a salvation connection, connecting her back to God her creator.

Jesus was speaking to this woman and Jesus  demonstrated unconditional love declaration which was eternally honoured and offered to her. "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.” John 3:1

Jesus was speaking to this woman's spirit that was broken and he engaged with her soul to spiritually override her past life. Jesus, in a very indirect way was asking her do you know who you are?

Jesus was saying; you have not yet realized you are an awesome woman, you are spiritually beautiful and you were “wonderfully made” by God for such a time like this. Her interaction with Jesus was an affirmation that a change in her life was going to come.

Her change ignited imprints of scriptural character reconstruction causing and effecting her own ministry of reconciliation. "And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation;” 2 Corinthians 5:18

Her transformation process was a faith walk regardless of her past story and past disposition as an adulteress to partnership with God through the eyes of Jesus to change her sin disposition.

This woman of courage had the “character capacity” to divorce her previous lifestyle, divorce her shame, divorce her guilt, divorce her past choices, divorce her hurt, divorce her brokenness, divorce her state of attention seeking and to divorce her state of ongoing rejection from others.

She had to divorce the spirit of depression, divorce the spirit of abuse and she was determined to divorce the spirit of low self-esteem and divorce the spirit of  promiscuous.

Jesus taught her the most valuable lesson,  the importance of divorcing the spirit of religiosity oppression. She understood,  "where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty." 2 Corinthians 3:17  She refused to be a victim or to be victimized by the spirit of adultery as she held her head up high minute by minute divorcing the generational trauma that has yoke her and her future children’s life by saying JESUS! Self-declaring there is power in the name of Jesus to break every chain off her past, present and future generational trauma. This woman knew it was her time to divorce her self-perception she had of herself, divorce her non- forgiveness, divorce her sexual addictions and she was able to divorce her need to look for love all in the wrong places.

She knew without a shadow of a doubt, by divorcing the spirit of adultery which was a self-crime against herself, by divorcing the invisible sexual spiritual warfare realm of fornication/adultery, by divorcing the god of adultery and the anti-scriptural sexual army of darkness that consist of air, land, and and sea. Upon stopping the sin act of adultery, lust, promiscuity, sexual service without any money being rendered to her, purpose was scripturally realized in her self-emancipated commitment. Her scriptural DNA became her Isaiah 54:17 scriptural covenant promise stating; "no weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgement thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and their righteousness is of me, saith the Lord” 

This woman by faith walked into her purpose immediately who was able to divorce all named and unnamed words of negativity that was spoken over her life. She was empowered by Jesus who was able to divorce all her weaknesses and she was able to internally listen to what "Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more." John 8:11

She knew the sin of adultery was psychologically design to physically imprison her mind, imprison her purpose and imprison her scriptural destiny. 

Jesus scripturally equipped her to divorce the community naysayers who wanted to stone her to death, as some of the men in this particular community were actively having sex with her who were also exposed in their determination to judge her. "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. Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you. Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened." Matthew 7:1-8

When you divorce God, God will sin divorce you too. 1 Peter 1:16 is clear "Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy"

If you are a Christian; sin is not okay, divorcing God is not okay and sin is not your identity. Actively participating in a sexual sin decision when you are not married will sexually estrange you from God and sexual sin is divisional causing an estranging process to take place estranging you from your scriptural self-worth.

"But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to honour, and some to dishonour. If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the master's use, and prepared unto every good work. Flee also youthful lusts: but follow righteousness, faith, charity, peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart. But foolish and unlearned questions avoid, knowing that they do gender strifes.” 2 Timothy 2:20-23

No matter what you have done, God is still saying "go, and sin no more”

This woman had to unlearn to scripturally learn what it scripturally means to be a Proverbs 31 woman.

She scripturally recognized, she was truly blessed and she understood “blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake (is a beginning of a courtship with God) . Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you” including Jesus. Matthew 5:11-12 

Her encounter with Jesus became her 2 Corinthians 12:9 strength: And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

This ex-adulteress who was a sinner had a 1 John 1:9 knowledge revelation; "If (I) confess (my) sins, he is faithful and just to forgive (me) our sins, and to cleanse (me) from all unrighteousness.”

Her confession was her redemption, she had to learn to forgive the unforgivable starting with self and to speak about the unspeakable sin of adultery. She had to scripturally master Luke 6:37, "judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven.” 

This ex-adulteress who was deep in sin is asking you and I right now, “Where would you be” without Jesus? 

What is your "Issues of life”, can you list them and are you willing to divorce them now?

"Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life” Proverbs 4:23

Today I Was Asked: "Who Is Jesus To You?

Jesus Christ is the reason why I am a Christian. Jesus is my hero as his love for humanity was rooted in a state of unconditional love in action. His love for me was an opportunity for me to get my life scripturally right. Jesus Christ scriptural lifestyle was a template for my conduct and life choices to foster the desire to act within the best interest of scripture instead of self. 

Deuteronomy 29: 29 declares; "The secret things belong unto the LORD our God: but those things which are revealed belong unto us and to our children for ever, that we may do all the words of this law.”

If ye love me, keep my commandments. Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy. But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you” 

John 14:15, Matthew 5:43-44

Jesus Christ never disrespected anyone nor did Jesus Christ abuse anyone directly or indirectly. Jesus Christ was an active peacemaker unto his death. "Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God. Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Matthew 5:9-10

Jesus Christ was present to the state of selflessness who perpetually demonstrated; "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.” John 3:16

Jesus Christ’s only crime was that he was scripturally unique who was set apart to do great things, as an example for us to do according to John 14:12."Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father."

All Christians are called to be scripturally unique just like Jesus. I acknowledge I am “... a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light”  1 Peter 2:9

 This best depiction of who Jesus is to   me is summarized in this song. The   song writer declares: Love came down   and rescued me. Love came down and   set me free. I am yours I am forever       yours” 

The presence of sin such as "issues of  life" will cause one to judge a brother  or a sister incorrect due to one's own  scriptural disobedience and lack of  "ministry of the word". Scriptural infraction application if you are a Christian will birth the spirit of judging others instead of judging yourself. Not accurately judge a situation is a sin because self is judging because God and scripture is absent.  Judging others directly or indirectly is a sin as your righteous judging is filled with bias. Judging is a sin because it contradict Matthew 7:1 clear word directive. "Ministry of the word" tells  us, "Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.”  1 John 3:4

The one thing I want my audience to know about me is this, I am a scriptural addict and if Jesus was judged by those who lack scriptural knowledge, scriptural wisdom, scriptural integrity and scriptural understanding; I must also expect to be judged by Christians due to “lack of knowledge” understanding too. I am okay with that because Philippian 1:6 gives me hope for the Christian community. The wor "Being confident of this very thing, that (God) which hath begun a good work in (Christians who has flaws and biblical infractions within their DNA profile) will perform (and address one's incomplete work) until the day of Jesus Christ."

We are reminded in Hosea 4:6 “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." 

In fact, in my experience if I did not know God for myself and if I did not have a personal relationship with the word of God; I would be afraid of some Christian individuals who go above and beyond to do evil who are a moral hazard, a “so called” Christian, to anyone who is religious or irreligious. Evil, judging, speaking evil, being disrespectful, religiosity bullying, woman oppression, legalism and anti-scriptural doctrine is not the gospel of Jesus Christ. Christians cannot ”...being ignorant of God's righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God.” Romans 10:3

The reality is Jesus Christ was an asset to the kingdom of God and some Christians are a liability not an asset who fail to self “examine (themselves first before they anti-scripturally judge brethren to see if they are the living Antichrist in the flesh or), whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?" 2 Corinthians 13:5

Again this is my personal opinion and many Christians if they do not scripturally change; God will make a bold scriptural statement and say “verily I say unto you, I know you not." Matthew 25:12

It is up to me declare my scriptural standard and my scriptural expectation I have set for myself. I acknowledge not all Christians are Christians which is a choice one must self-determine. "There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.” to one’s salvation prosperity. Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth. Proverbs 14:12, 3 John 1:2

I know I am determined with my life to be a Christian and during my stay here on earth.  I am determined to inspire the uninspired Christians.

The bible I read tells me "who hath ears to hear, let him hear. But if any man (or woman) be ignorant, let him (or her) be ignorant. Matthew 13:9, 1 Corinthians 14:38

 Matthew 16 is the foundation and the scriptural   expectation of what humanity must do to become   a  Christian. For what is a man profited, if he shall   gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or   what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?For   the Son of man shall come in the glory of his   Father with his angels; and then he shall reward   every man according to his works. Verily I say   unto you,  There  be some standing here, which   shall not taste   of   death, till they see the Son of   man coming in   his   kingdom. Matthews 16:26-28

 Jesus Christ was faithful to his purpose and he was   scripturally a radical. 

 Jesus Christ had a scriptural agenda which was ree   from gender inequality, human rights violations,   peer pressure and societal norm to keep women   invisible instead of visible.

 In some cases women were devalued instead of   being valued human beings. Jesus' first appearance   was to  Mary Magdalene in  (John 20:14-16) who   was a woman. 

 Mary The Mother Of James, Salome, And Joanna   also saw Jesus. (Matthew 28:9). Donald Lawrence &   the Tri-City   Singers  summarized Matthew 28 in   song.

 Jesus used Mary Magdalene, a woman not a man,   to declare “he has risen” used to gospelize and   revolutionize Christianity.

 Jesus Christ was an advocate on woman's rights to   destroy gender inequality towards women. Jesus   Christ was a protector of women’s right to live in partnership with scripture; to confirm “thou shall not kill” Exodus 20:13 Some over zealous men in partnership with the general population wanted to stone this woman to death as they publicly called out her sin, which was adultery outlined in John 8:1-11. 

Jesus Christ instead asked the question by addressing the men: "He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.” John 8:7

Jesus Christ was not an oppressor of women but rather Jesus Christ advocated on behalf of women and their right to access their scriptural rights to self liberate self. "Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.” 2 Corinthians 3:17

God and Jesus Christ had a genderless agenda from day one.

1 John 1:9 scripturally affirms, "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. 2 Corinthians 5:17 

God is a spirit and Jesus Christ represented humanity in the physical state who was not an oppressor but a liberator of ALL situations and ALL circumstances by scripturally decreeing in the spirit to impact the physical Woman, thou art loosed…” Luke 13:12

God is a God of second chances and he reminded everyone in Romans 3:23 through demonstration  “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God” and people are not perfect was his message of hope.

Jesus Christ was selfless not self-seeking like most human beings. Jesus Christ represented the profound fact: only the scripturally strong can forgive. Jesus Christ knew his purpose and physically executed his scriptural purpose. This became his sole focus and the reason why Jesus Christ was able to say without reservation: “I must be about my Father's business” Luke 2:49 

God is a spirit and unfortunately some Christians and some non-Christians have not valued themselves enough or loved themselves enough to change their negative attitude, change their “issues of life” disposition, change their bitterness, unconditionally embracing one's mistakes and one’s past by allowing God to partnership with scripture to say “peace be still” to all named and unnamed situations. 

Jesus Christ never played the blame game or made any anti-scriptural excuses to compromise scriptural integrity.  Jesus Christ never played Russian roulette with his scriptural job description and Jesus Christ was never violent to anyone nor did he murder anyone. 

Jesus Christ left a scriptural legacy who had an innate scriptural DNA drive to confirm our Luke 10:19 authority by saying “Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.” 

It is my opinion, as I am the expert and the author of my own personal experiences, most Christians are scripturally lazy when it comes to scriptural application to secure ongoing self-healing from something that happened yesterday. 

Jesus Christ is the antidote to all named and unnamed life  issues. Jesus Christ and God and scripture expect all Christians to   give eternal rest to internal pain, eternal rest to our   challenges, eternal rest to our past, eternal rest to bitterness,   eternal rest to all named and unnamed “issues of life”  dispositions. Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life. 

The word of God instructs all Christians to "Take my yoke   upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in   heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls”Matthew  11:29

 Scripture is clear, all Christians are required to ”   Remember  ye not the former things, neither consider the   things of old” Isaiah 43:18

 Not surprising, some Christians are in a state of contempt   of  scripture which is a sin. 

 God cannot help anyone if you are looking back at your   past, if you cannot let things go and hold on to God in     partnership with scripture even when it makes no sense. 

 Most Christians are accountable to self and Jesus Christ   paved the way by demonstrating what it means to be an   exceptional Christian. Scriptural transition is ongoing   WORK! All Christians must honour their Numbers 30:2     commitment; to God once one has verbalized a decision to    become a Christian.  

Jesus stated in Matthew 10:38 and Matthew 16:24 If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me.

Christianity is an encrypted scriptural and spiritual bar code of Christ in us representing and presenting perpetual scripture in our daily lifestyle, decision, sexuality, action and inaction. 

Jesus Christ is my hero because Jesus never stole land from any indigenous people. Jesus Christ never stole the wealth of any country in exchange for the bible.

Jesus Christ; “study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth” 2 Timothy 2:15

Jesus Christ prepared himself daily and was ready to die for anyone and everyone. 

Jesus Christ is my mentor for my conduct, my action plan for word application and my state of fearlessness "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

I am not perfect but scripture paved the way for me to personally commit to "workout (my) own salvation with fear and trembling." Philippians 2:12

All Christians must be present to scripture and not absent from scripture. 

All Christians must understand one thing; God, scripture and Jesus Christ are the powers of attorney over ALL Christians once we make a decision to be a Christian. 

Jesus Christ's ministry was about scriptural transformation. Christianity is not into the business of conforming to the world. God and Jesus Christ's scriptural value system change not.

Galatians 5:22-23 set a standard of how all Christians should conduct themselves as it is written; "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.

Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. Philippians 4:8
