By all means "Escape"

Topic: By all means "Escape"....Having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust."
2 Peter 1:4


Vanish for ever all thoughts of indulging the flesh if you would live in the power of your risen Lord. It is ill to believe that a person who is alive in Christ should dwell in the corruption of sin. The Word of God says "Why seek ye the living among the dead?" said the angel to Magdalene. Should the living dwell in the sepulchre? Should divine life be immured in the carnel house of fleshly lust? How can we partake of the cup of the Lord and yet drink the cup of Belial? Surely for believers are free from lusts and sins we are delivered:



Have you also escaped from the more secret and delusive lime-twigs of the Satanic power...Have you come forth from the lust of pride? Have you escaped from slothfulness? Have you clean escaped from carnal security? Are you seeking day by day to live above worldliness, the pride of life, and the ensnaring vice of the enemy? Remember, it is for this that you have been enriched with the treasures of God. If you be indeed the chosen of God, and beloved by Him, do not allow the lavishness of grace to be wasted. Follow after holiness; it is the Christian's crown and glory.



Remember, you are God's chosen.... reign over your lusts. You are God's chosen: do not associate with Belial (the world). Heaven is your portion: live like a heavenly preist, so shall you prove that you have true faith in Jesus; for there cannot be faith in the heart unless there be holiness in the life.

"Lord, I desire to live as one
Who bears a blood-bought name,
As one who fears but grieving Thee,
And knows no other shame."

The Power of ONE

The Power of ONE
I John 4:4

There are times when we think that we are incapable of accomplishing what God puts into our hand,for example; being a single parent, starting a business, writing a book, building a ministry, buying your first home, the list can go on and on. We often times believe that we need a lot of people to help us, to be around us, or maybe you think that you need to know the right person to do what you know that God put into your heart. I would like to give you some good news, the only person that you need on your side is Jesus Christ. He is the one person that can give you the Power to accomplish your goals, build your dream home, and give you back what the devil took from you. He is the POWER OF ONE…One voice that can speak the word to heal your body, the One touch that will break the yoke of the enemy, and the One arm that can rescue you and carry you to a place of safety. Listen to what apostle John wrote in 1 John 4:4, "Ye are of God, little Children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world."

So know this, that as you go on throughout your week know that Jesus Christ, who is the POWER of ONE is in you and you are the greater because of him.

Give Me This Mountain

Give me this mountain
Joshua 14:12

The people of Israel had come to the place of the promised land for the second time after being denied access by God because of their unbelief. Caleb, who is now 85 years old and Joshua being an old man, are the only two remaining survivors from the previous generation that proceeded out of Egypt forty years earlier. They are determined not to be denied access into what is rightfully theirs again. They declared with a resolved, determined, resolute attitude, “Give me this mountain! I will not spend another day, hour, moment in this wilderness. I will believe God, conquer my foe, and embrace the promises of God…..Give me my mountain!!!"

Caleb was sending his brethren a clear signal and his enemies a power warning that "I will not be denied my victory." If we are going to walk in victory, conquer our foe, and embrace the promises of God we must have a resolved, determined and resolute spirit. Victory belongs to you so declare it, believe it and embrace it!!!
