Food for the soul…

Posted on November 17, 2016

One has to admit it takes a certain power [will] to love others past hurt and oppression; to be joyful in times of so many varying sorrows; to remain at a certain level of peace among all the hell breaking lose around us; to remain calm, cool, and collected over the long time of suffering towards many, to embody gentleness towards the aggressive aggravation with imbalances and disunity across cultures and societal, to still embody goodness among bad people, places, and situations and all by a faith unseen, which empowers such temperance in the unmerited grace and mercy of the Most High God…

F.O.C.U.S. : A Life of Prayer

Posted on October 25, 2015

Greetings All ❤ Shalom & Blessings to the Elect of the Most-High God

Written by IEPM Admin on Friday, October 23, 2015 10/23/2015 2:38:15 AM

This coming week’s F.O.C.U.S. is all about a life of Prayer …May we ascertain its power.

F.O.C.U.S. : A Life of Prayer

Fortifying Our Call Unto Salvation
Finding Out Christ’s Use for Self
Finishing One Commitment Until Successful
Finally Overcoming Criticisms, Unrighteousness and Scrutiny

Two Main Gains with A Prayer Life are:

we have direct accessibility to our Father – Ephesians 3:12-21
through faith we receive what we ask – 1 John 5:14-15

How Often Should We Pray and Why?

Prayer as a daily meditation builds the subjective relationship with the Spirit of Truth. As mentioned in a prior in quotes thought commentary (see excerpt below), it allows us to get to know God better because HE already knew us prior to our knowing ourselves. With this newly built relationship, we learn the importance our prayers towards what He wants for us and not our wants for ourselves – 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18

IN QUOTES THOUGHTS:

Some say do not question God… God says ask whatsoever in my name, believing. The questions are: What are we asking and/or believing of God? Is it in accord with who God is? Is it asked in Spirit & Truth? Has, does or will it bring Him glory? Is it rooted and grounded in love? ~ 1 John 4:7-10

Q & A

On the What:

Question 1 – Is there a difference in expedience for things asked with faith, in accordance to His word, name, blood, and person (power) rather than asking this not of the same?
Answer 1 Yes, you see He tells us do not ask amiss (out of order, absent law of Truth, wrongfully, or improper (James 4:2-3).
Question 2 – Is there a proper time or manner in which we may ask lawfully?
Answer 2 Yes, we are encouraged to pray in this manner:

“Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever…Thank you Father for and in all things, in Jesus’ name. Amen”

(Matthew 6:9-13 KJV)

This is to make certain we understand that God is to be acknowledge, honored, and glorified as our Most High (Holy Judge & Savior):
It is also careful to note that He gave us these guidelines so we won’t perish (Matthew 18:14 KJV)

†In the Word Study

Matthew 6:19-34; 18:32-33 | James 4:2-3 | 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 | 1 John 4:7-10 & 5:14-15 | Ephesians 3:12-21

Key Points about “this manner” of prayer are

Foremost that we know to whom we are praying, what we should be asking and why…
Learn of His Spirit to align with His Truth (God is Spirit – John 4:24)
Acknowledge our Father & Creator God is not of this world (Holy & Heavenly).
Discern that His will is nevertheless, absolute.
Desire the daily manna or bread of heaven, that we may learn patience, perseverance, strength, love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-discipline and power – Gal 5:22-23. Yet most importantly, that we may ascertain that nothing we experience, do, and no place (physically, psychologically, spiritually, corporeally -or otherwise) in which we travel, is in and/or of itself for our glory but HIS.
Never forget the power given us through repentance is deeply rooted in “forgiving” as we forgive, we are forgiven…another way of thinking about forgiving is to “give forward…because we reap what is sown whether to the flesh or spirit”. When we give forward in the spirit (with love, not seeking of anything in return but freely); we receive good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over. Subsequently the receipt in favor is that God will move others to give unto us. Yes, even monetarily so, that it meets our spiritual needs of prospering and healthy souls Proverbs 30:8-9. Moreover, we can never outdo what the Lord our God has done, does and will do for us. “His grace is sufficient toward us all and His mercy is everlasting, new each morning” 2 Corinthians 12:9 & Lamentations 3:22-23
We are charged or commanded to keep His law (love) working no ill towards one another, praying for one another, helping one another, providing counsel one to another as in not forsaking the assembly of believers, whereby we make every opportunity of time and chance given us to encourage one another in the Glory of the Lord (toward Love & of Good Works). Hebrews 10:23-25
We put every fiber of our being into trusting the Lord, his promises and statutes, and in the faith authored and written upon our hearts, minds, and soils from beginning to end.
We must try respectively to flee evil (resist temptation); while accepting His deliverance from it. Choose our battles with caution. It is a mêlée of belief vs. non-belief, righteousness vs. wickedness and love vs. hate. The battleground or war zone is in our mind, body, and soul. Joshua 24:15
NEVER put aside our confidence that “His Kingdom” comes and “His Will” is being executed on earth as it is in heaven. John 18:36 We can also consider our bodies within, as heaven because being earthen, we came from the dust of the ground. Genesis 2:7 God via Jesus gave us a part of Himself (Kingdom) 1 John 4:4-18.

“The earth is the Lord’s, and the fullness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein”
(Psalm 24:1 KJV).
On the other hand, we can also view heaven as being in our hearts and minds (the redeemed: a part of us).
“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”
(1 John 4:4 KJV).

His power and glory remain unchanged just as HE changes not [Malachi 3:6 & Hebrews 13:8]. Similarly, that’s the concept we have via hope, faith, and love of “Eternal Salvation”

“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? For ye are bought with a price: therefore, glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s”

(1 Corinthians 6:19-20 KJV)

“And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he hears us: And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him”

(1 John 5:14-15 KJV).

Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.

Affect & Effect: What Does Prayer do for us?

Prayer enhances our knowledge of the Holy, especially when we learn to readily pray in the privately in the spirit (Truth of His Word) and by the power of the Holy Ghost (Tongue – power) – 1 Corinthians 14:1-5 | Romans 8:26
Prayer provides counsel in confidence. By this, we merely mean that when we take everything to the Lord our God in prayer, we know that it is safe kept, moderately considered, and the answers of ‘yes & amen’ are carefully appropriated via time and chance.
We learn to understand that when our Father says, “no, my child,” it may be because it is out of order, untimely, and/or against His will.
We can’t ask something out of His will an expectancy of receiving it because that would make Him a liar, and God is Inerrant Truth, not a man, but spirit, which cannot lie.

EXAMPLE: How many of us have at one point or another ask for worldly possessions above what we need, only to no avail. “Lord please let me hit the mega win’s lottery, or ask to have the finest automobile, home, or other assets better than our neighbor’s” Those type prayers are seated is unrighteousness because they don’t ask it of the glory of the Lord, they are self-seeking, covetous, and out of order….However, if we have been blessed to be a sower, then it is likely some of that monetary abundance is obtainable via favor, if it is profitable to the true Kingdom of God -Deuteronomy 8:18 | Luke 6:38 | Psalm 112:3 | Proverbs 3:9-10; 10:22; 11:8 & 28:20.

The Lord will provide each and every need we have, but only according as HE sees fit. We mustn’t forget that evil ones know how to give good gifts too. However, every good and perfect gift, comes from the above – Luke 11:11-13 & James 1:17.

What is more of concern, is that we must always be mindful that His Word teaches us that we cannot serve Him and money – Matthew 6:24, for we will walk right out of the will of God. Next, He along with giving us the power to get wealth, tells us that we should have much counsel as to how we appropriate what is given us. Otherwise, the purpose of the gift is not established in His purpose -Proverbs 15:22, and perhaps opens a way for thieves to steal it, and/or kill and destroy the purpose.

EXAMPLE 1: Let us visualize that we have received an unexpected sum of money (or other favor of monetary value) such as a loan approval for more than we qualified for, an extension of credit, a house, car, unexpected inheritance, or just a mysterious official and valid lump sum check.

The first thing is to seek counsel from the Lord, first giving thanks, but next to ask Him to guide us as to what He wants us to do with it. I know this could be hard for the lovers of money and all things tangible and palpable, but it is worthy of securing the blessing of being blessed. The blessed give and as they give, they receive – Luke 6:38. This is why He instructs us that it is more blessed to give than to receive -Acts 20:34-36.

Some want understand this logic or law, but it aligns in accordance with reciprocity -Galatians 6:6-8. We can also refer back to the parable about the talents in Matthew 25:14-30. For instance, the persons who added to what was given, were profitable. On the other hand, the man who chose to be stingy, lazy, spiteful, lacking charity (love); or actually, the Word uses the adjectives, “wicked and slothful”… had what was given taken away only to be given to another. In addition, he was deemed unprofitable to the Kingdom (Spiritual servitude of the Lord), and cast into outer darkness.

“Take therefore the talent from him, and give it unto him which hath ten talents. For unto every one that hath shall be given, and he shall have abundance: but from him that hath not shall be taken away even that which he hath. And cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth” (Matthew 25:28-30 KJV)

EXAMPLE 2: How many of us have been the giver or receiver of something asked in necessity, only to have it short of what was needed. For clarity, the scriptures use fish, serpent, egg, and scorpion metaphorically to the dispensation of that time.

Nothing is new however, under the sun and relatively today that would be like a person who lives in a home or residence with plenteous rooms, who comes across a homeless person and offers him or her a dollar bill, hot lunch, or the like. That can seem a good gift in the eye of the receiver, because he/she didn’t have that to begin with, but how long will it last? A few minutes or a day?

The giver gave sparingly, and somewhere in life he or she will too reap sparingly. It is written and we can’t change that. – 2 Corinthians 9:6-11 & 1 John 4:1-5

The thing is, that giver may have monetary wealth, but somewhere in life be it physically, socially, psychologically and most definitely spiritually, he or she will experience inadequacy or lack of some kind. Not because he or she deserves it, but to be a just weight in chastening of sorts – Galatians 6:7 & Psalm 126:5. God will work all things together for the good of those who love Him and who are the called accordingly to answer to His purposed call… (we talked about this passage -Romans 8:28, a few weeks ago)…

Yes, it could be case where that giver, gives not only to the one homeless person but to several, regardless, he or she is still in fact giving, and likewise, shall receive. Yet in this case, we will assume he or she only gave that little portion once and no more. That is similar to the man who buried his talent in the ground, slothful and wicked.

How?

The receiver of the gift now has the burden of once again worrying about where his or her next meal, bath, or lodging will derive (not accordance with spirit & truth because a. we are told not be anxious about anything, b. do not take thought about tomorrow, and c. anxiety & worry point to doubt or fear, and the spirit of fear is not from God), following me? Okay, the bigger issue is that the sparingly-giving giver, has sown discord and/or a stumbling block. Oops! A big no no! Proverbs 6:19, says of the things God hates,^“A false witness that speaks lies, and he that sows discord among brethren” (KJV). Now you may be able to understand more clearly, the Lord’s law of reciprocity. In 1 Corinthians 8:12, instructs us that this type behavior as to cause a stumbling block, is sinful not only to the brethren, but unto Christ —^“But when ye sin so against the brethren, and wound their weak conscience, ye sin against Christ” (KJV).

*Special Note* The believer, even if a poor one, knows and understands that every good and perfect gift comes from above and that whatever he or she lends, it is to the Lord (the Sole Lender). He or she knows that as God provides for the fowls of the air, likewise, He will do the same for him or her.

WHAT DOES ALL OF THAT HAVE TO DO WITH PRAYER?

Simple enough, I think more poor people pray on the regular because they have the burden of necessity. Not that the rich do not pray or pray often, but hear me out, using Example 2, above: That homeless person, has plenty to be thankful for making it day-to-day in such a wicked environment. He or she has to weather the seasons like excessive cold and hot temperatures, not to mention, heavy rains and/or snow without becoming sick. He or she has to wear the same grungy clothing, without the luxury of toiletries, or personal hygiene essentials, and has to eat whatever is available (no choice), but no less thankfully, and perhaps overwhelmed at how he or she still manages being safe and alive for the matter. He or she gets to be in unison with nature too, as often the ground is his or her bed, a tree –the shade from the heat, or rain as much as possible. He or she may be alone without family or friends and talks to God and animals, insects, or the like, regularly.

Whereas that rich person, wakes up and thanks God for another day to make another dollar, only to spend it frivolously. He or she may have so much money, that there are no direct worries over little things like, food, shelter or clothing, toilet paper or soap, let alone a bathroom [he or she probably has several]; and/or mortgages, utilities and/or transportation. He or she may have the best health coverage or plan, to afford medically unnecessary surgeries or enhancements, whereas the homeless person can’t even get a bottle of aspirin.

A rich man will have a hard time surrendering his earthen treasures. To enter the Kingdom of God, means to be one in spirit, unconcerned for the things of this world which cannot be taken into the next.

I’m not picking on rich people who are believers, and cheerful givers. I am saying that our Father teaches us that a rich man’s chance in heaven is as good as a camel going through the eye of a needle.

“And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God” (Matthew 19:24 KJV).

The Lord blesses people to be the blessed, as in “charitable to others“…Genesis 12:3 | Jeremiah 17:7 & Proverbs 22:9

He starts off with few things (gifts) to see how faithful we are with them, if we will share in what has been given, and whether or not we will remain humble in HIS sight and in the midst of it all. – Matthew 25:23

It is often easy to identify someone who has received gifts from the enemy, because they are usually ill-gotten, easy come-easy go, are not spiritual in nature, and/or do not bring the Lord due reverence and glory. – Romans 13:10-14

It’s not that HE won’t give us of of heart’s desire; it’s just a basis of if HE dwells there. If God is in us, then HIS desires outweigh ours. Because HE is love, and loves us; HE simply moderates and modifies our petitions. Romans 8:19-27

This another reason why we are instructed to try the spirits, whether they be of God. – 1 John 4:1-5

What are the Spiritual Gifts of God?
How do they assist in our prayer life?
Moreover, how do they affect and/or effect our prayers?

† In the Word Study:

The Spiritual Gifts are – Isaiah 11:2-3

spirit of wisdom
spirit of understanding
spirit of counsel
spirit of might
spirit of knowledge
spirit of the fear of the Lord

What are they?

They are a fraction of the wisdom in which the Holy Ghost guides into all truth on. “Wisdom is the principle thing, in all thine getting, get understanding. Understanding is knowledge of the Holy and the fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge” – Proverbs 4:7 & 9:10

So then what is knowledge?

Understanding the Holy and the fear of the Lord …How do we obtain understanding?

“Daniel answered and said, Blessed be the name of God for ever and ever: for wisdom and might are his: And he changes the times and the seasons: he removes kings, and sets up kings: he gives wisdom unto the wise, and knowledge to them that know understanding: He reveals the deep and secret things: he knows what is in the darkness, and the light dwells with him”

(Daniel 2:20-22 KJV).

We obtain understanding through the spirit, via more gifts such as spiritual fruit, the Holy Spirit instructs, inspires, teaches, guides, disciplines, and reproves us, such as for the perfection of the saints, ministry work, edification, unified faith, knowledge of, full measure of Christ’s stature (Knowledge of the Holy) …

Educational Fruit

“And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ”

(Ephesians 4:11-13 KJV)

What Help Can We Gain from Educational Fruit?

They assist our life of prayer in that they teach, guide, strengthen, and correct our shortcomings and/or misgivings when speaking to our Father. They have an effect on how, when and where we pray, as in an action. We are affected by the way HE responds to them. When we have sent up an effectual prayer it typically asks a desired or beneficial result (expected end); it names a specific person, place, and/or thing of and concerning our petitions. -James 5:16

The Lord educates us on all the spiritual benefits we gain from an active, effectual and fervent prayer life. He insists repeatedly that we both watch and pray always with gratitude –Col. 4:2. When we call unto Him via prayer in the spirit, He likewise answers and shows us “unknown great & mighty things” –Jer. 33:3. He tells us how to watch and pray for all saints, and that is with perseverance, always, never losing consciousness – Eph. 6:18 & Lk 18:1. He assures us that by praying in the spirit (Holy Ghost –His Righteousness), our troubles are both heard and taken away –Ps 34:17. Prayer is not for vainglory, and mostly should be done in secret –Matt. 6:9-13.

This is serious business.

First, when we are in congregations or in the streets praying, it is no longer intimate communication with our spirit, but is tied into others’ spirits as well. Some people are desperately hurting and in need of solace, comfort or deliverance, and may be overlooked. Especially in today’s society, where they mostly pray for financial gifts, gain, assists or the like. Other seducing spirits under the guise as leaders, are mere soothsayers operating gifts of discernment as pickpockets, and do every attention-gaining cues to distract the believer’s attention to his or her earnest need(s) in prayer.

Example: How many have gone to church or church conferences and been moved in the spirit, via songs, praise dances, improvisational (adlibbing) type speeches, with plenteous kinesics, or both lingual and non-lingual body language –a jerking prance across the pulpit or certain stances at the pulpit, hand and/or foot gesturing along with gaping at certain congregational members who most often they will get the best reaction or response from –sheer usury. God’s preference is to speak to us in secrecy –a place where we exude confidentiality are shown mystery, and with much discretion. It is here where we can be open and honest about every trouble or urgency we have need of his deliverance, absent someone backbiting about it. It is here, we have a covering (mediator) for the things we should or should not say or petition of the Lord. It is here, where the rewards are opened, and likewise the same rewards arise with helping others without babbling, tale-bearing, backbiting, or to be praised for doing so –Matt. 6:1-34.

Our final focus is the gathered prayer –where there are two or more gathered, interceding and acknowledging the Lord on behalf of one another. It is careful to note that when we gather as such, HE is among us (omnipresence); this is more of “the supplication for all saints” form of prayer, where we can hear and entreat the needs of others per request. It is important to note that these are the assists which we take into our secret place and pray IN THE SPIRIT on behalf of others, and them us. These may or may not be urgent or private petitions but have a need for touching and agreeing upon. We must always remember that we have only one mediator and that is the Holy Spirit. Likewise, we should ascertain that not all others have wielded themselves to praying in the manner in which, He instructs us to IN THE SPIRIT. For this reason, some pray in vain repetition about non-spiritual things, but it is when we get in the WORD (the sword of the spirit), that we find out what things are spiritual.

These have been some focal points on a life of prayer. For more on a righteous prayer life please visit the archives on our website or download the .doc files from the Survivors Thru Christ Prayer Closet on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/groups/SurvivorsthruChristPrayerCloset/

Example of the download of the Call to Prayer Message:

Important Message about Our Call to Prayer:

I want to remind ALL of YOU that the message board or email address is also here for personal or private use for and of prayer requests. It is very important that you know that ALL are free to pray for and add others here. This is a family and household of faith. We are ALL standing in need of prayer, especially one for another. We are more than conquerors through Christ and it is by His blood and our testimony that we overcome.

We must get to a place where we understand that where it is written too, “pray in this manner” does not directly tell us to do so in vain repetition (saying the same thing over & over, that is). Those type prayers can point to absence in faith. Elaboration: When we ask the Lord for something it should one be in the spirit, knowing it will be heard and answered and two; doing so with absolute confidence of the answer, if asked according to His will. This means even as we pray incessantly, when we make mention of that thing again in prayer it should be always in thanks for the receipt thereof in a manifested “yes and amen” (2 Cor. 1:20). To ask it again, shows a lack of faith, in the love, grace, mercy, and power of the Lord to perform His Word. This is why He wants us praying in the spirit, because we will not risk praying amiss, or have our prayers be deemed abominable. (James 4:2-3 & Proverbs 28:9)
Yet His Holiness wants us to identify with His zenith position (Heaven) and the authority of His name (as our Holy Creator) …that we acknowledge in thanks and supplication for all saints (saved and sanctified) of His daily diet for us (bread of heaven – living by every word proceeding from the mouth of God).
It is important that we remember that in order to be forgiven of God, we have to thus forgive, “us our debts as our debtors.”
The Holy Spirit revealed to me in petition what we (ALL) owe one another and that is love, period (God Himself).
Since our Father in Heaven is a spirit, there is nothing tangible or palpable that we can offer in thanks to Him other than our love and trust to acknowledge Him through communication (prayer).
God does not perform our wants, needs, or desires absent His Word, will, and purpose for us.
In fact, His Word tells us that He is quick or expedient in performing His Word. He tells us to let our petitions be made KNOWN unto Him, to pray for one another effectually and fervently.
It is in the very knowledge of His Holy Position and Power of His Word through the name He placed above every name that we both hear, and are heard, from Him.

How amazing is it that we have it on His authority that we cannot enter into this Position absent Jesus Christ, born again of the water and of the spirit. This Living water as rivers flows from us by the gift of the Holy Ghost (spirit of truth) which comforts, and guides us. The same Word of truth sanctifies us. The more we hear from God (by faith -hearing of His Word), the more we develop a relationship (learn of Him and get to know Him) and the more open we become (in truth) to communicate to him from our heart absent vain repetition. He knows us; we have to get to know Him.

Finally, beloved prayer warriors, may we exercise the vertical bearing of the cross where we look solely to the Lord our God for everything, never being overtaken by the unjust weight looking left and/or right except in love and prayer one for another. Colossians 2:20-23

† In the Word Study:

Jam 5:16-17 | 1 Tim 4:7 | Job 1:7 | Matt 15:9 & 24:37 | Gen 6:1 |John 6:63-70 | Heb 4:12

Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever, amen.

May we all ascertain the beauty of personal intimacy with the Holy Spirit, and the majesty of power we obtain in that knowledge when watching, praying, and always giving thanks. ~the Messenger

The Elect…

Posted on September 18, 2015 Updated on September 18, 2015

THE ELECT

An Election occurred in the heavenly courts long ago… where many contenders in the faith, were called, but only few chosen.

“For many are called, but few are chosen”

(Matthew 22:14 KJV).

Ironically, (not), if a day is as a thousand years with the Lord, one can imagine how many a few are. Another thought is if two thirds of God’s angels are still working for HIS cause and of HIS kingdom, who are or rather how do we recognize the 1/3 plus Satan, who are not? Well, and since no prophecy of scripture is private and our Father fitted us with a full armor and spiritual discernment, we have authority in, upon, by, and through the name and blood of the crucified, yet resurrected Lamb of God and the word of our testimony to try whether they be of God. Fair warning: It was also given to us to be careful when entertaining strangers, in that we may encounter angels unaware. Strong thought is considerable to weigh about certain entertainment, and that is whether the angels are heavenly or fallen.

Consequently, this invites us to seek to know God, and His elect (the called, chosen, predestinated, preferred, sanctified, consecrated, set apart, BELIEVERS).

How do we discern them, them, and/or us?

What one does not know from appearance, of another is what is in someone else’s heart. howbeit as believers of God and with utilization of HIS freely given gift of power through faith, HIS love, a sober and vigilant mind, through the gift of a comforter in the Holy Ghost, we through the trying of spirits (whether they are yet from God), know that what proceeds from the mouth comes from the heart – Matt 15:18. It is in this beauty of power, walking in the spirit, that the hidden is thus revealed.

#Watch_and_Pray

Non-believers tend to think of the Holy Bible, God, and/or Christ Jesus (Yahshua Messiah), as merely make-believe and they are partially correct in that our Heavenly Father and Creator God will and do make believers out of them.

On a more subjective thought:

Whether one believes or negates belief in our existent creator is essential in the choice of itinerary for our final destination. All men (humans / flesh) will die once, just as all whether believer or not as spirit/glorified bodies -souls, will afterwards receive judgment. Even though some like to take the wide path climbing Kabbalistic trees, idolizing fads, traditions, self and other demi-gods, living in conformity of this world, its systematized slavery, fear-mongering, sorcery and fornication against God and such…the end of the road leads to one destination, ETERNITY, which just happens to have two doors (gates), hell or heaven.

The non-believers will receive placement in either eternal death. –HELL (Lake of unending Fire).

OR

Fortunately, the elect of God, the Word, the Holy Ghost, the blood, the water, and the spirit (TRUTH), predestinated, called and/or chosen, will receive eternal life.

THE CHOICE IS SEALED in HIS INERRANT WORD

† In the Word Study

Thankful to know how to watch and pray that HIS sheep know HIS voice… Hallelujah for the Inerrant WORD and selfsame GOD & LOVE, an ALL-CONSUMING FIRE!

~the Messenger

As always, we ask that you remember the messenger is minuscule to the profundity of the message and always seek the Lord on it….

† In the Word Study

“And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them. For it is a shame even to speak of those things which are done of them in secret. But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light: for whatsoever doth make manifest is light”

Joyous Wishes for 2015

Posted on December 31, 2014

Wishing You A JOYOUS 2015

Shalom & Blessings! I am looking forward to counting each new mercy and loaded benefits for the upcoming year. May we reflect on the 364 days behind us and what they brought us in grace and mercy. May tomorrow (day 365 of 2014) be complete, with a list upon our hearts, minds, and souls as a reminder on all we have in gratitude and fortitude. May we adjust our attitudes accordingly, to reach favorable altitudes going into 2015. Sweet dreams and more revealing unto you!

“Have a Joyous New Year”

“Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus. Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things, which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things, which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. Let us therefore, as many as be perfect, be thus minded: and if in anything ye be otherwise minded, God shall reveal even this unto you”

(Philippians 3:12-15 KJV)

I cannot help but feel there is something in the spiritual realm brewing… is not there always? The ‘powers that be’ are always at work. Which crown’s rule (authority/principalities) is at work in this era? Whose crown’s rule will we inherit at Omega?

Watch & Pray…

♦Bear to wear ♦

…Pray & Watch

“Blessed is he that reads, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein: for the time is at hand”

(Revelation 1:3 KJV).

What I am presently studying and encourage all to study for the New Year

Heaven
Earth
The Body
The Church
The Judgment of Believers
The Judgment of Rewards
The Five Crowns

Glory	Elders
Incorruptible	Victors
Life	Martyrs
Righteousness	Loved the Lord’s appearance
Rejoicing	Soul Winners

ONE KNIGHT’S STAND:

ONE KNIGHT’s STAND:

I was behind enemy lines…BUT THERE WILL BE NO RETREAT!

♥ LOVE ♥

SHALOM

&

BLESSINGS

I was having a dismal day along with exhaustion…got to thinking grey skies are going to clear up, put on a happy face, you know… because even though at times, when it may seem we aren’t moving along as we should, God confirms via His love “Oh but my child you have…you have, it’s all good”….

…PEACE IS “BECOMING” & IS MY NEW DWELLING PLACE

Now last night was a difficult one for me, warring with spirits. Spirits which attempted to gain access through sutured wounds…BUT GOD!

HALLELUJAH!

I THANK YAH, who gave me strength, clearance, and now new peace to confront those [Imps] face to face, & call them not as though they were or seemed.

To be clear, I am talking generational curses and/or soul ties, people. Read the rest of this entry »

Expounding on the A.R.T. of War: A Spiritual Aspect

Posted on December 3, 2014

Expounding on the A.R.T. of War: A Spiritual Aspect

FIGHT the GOOD FIGHT

A.R.T. → Awareness of Righteousness & Truth

It’s great to know a little data on the art of war, spiritually speaking that is. As an army brat, mother, friend, cousin, niece, granddaughter and sister to military personnel, it sort of comes to no surprise about enlistment, deployment, commitment and dedication to service.

Well… I am an enlistee in the Army of the Lord and it dawned on me, the codes of service, specialty, tasks, commitment, and knowledge of protocol do not differ that much.

For instance… Earlier, I posed a question:

Are there any soldiers out there who can explain what it is to be in the trenches?

I’ve written on this before as well. As soldiers in the Army of the Lord, when we are in the trenches, we have to keep moving towards the route of escape (the narrow way of protection against enemy fire), watching out for our fellow camaraderie.

There will always be those who are dead (asleep) to the faith; for these, we must continue to pray for, but we must continue to keep following the escape route that we will not become an addition to the dead (casualties of this spiritual war).

Some (dead) will be the first to rise when the Lord returns in judgment, but all of us will be judged accordingly per our enlistment (call of duty to be active for Christ) or the lack thereof.

I think it matters what is written because just pondering over it… if we were dead (asleep) in Christ, then we may have forfeited an order (assignment) in our MOS (military occupation code). Which is outlined in Ephesians 6 of the Soldier’s Manual, the Holy Bible.

CAN WE MAINTAIN PROTOCOL

WHILE IN THE TRENCHES?

The Call of Duty is:

To maintain Strength in the Lord’s Power & Might
To always be in uniform of the Whole Armor of God
To be able-bodied / minded to stand against the wiles of the devil (principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places)
Ability to withstand in the evil day with ability to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.
Life of Prayer in the Spirit
Gratitude & Alertness with perseverance and supplication for all saints...

Never Disrobe When

“Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leads to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leads unto life, and few there be that find it”

“But Jesus said unto him, Follow me; and let the dead bury their dead”

(Matthew 8:22 KJV)

May We, Clothed in the Full Armor of God, Assume the Highest Echelon via Our Call of Duty Over the Wiles of the Devil & His Advocates in Jesus Yeshua Messiah Christ’ name, Amen.

A VIEW THROUGH SPIRITUAL SPECTACLES

Posted on December 2, 2014 Updated on December 2, 2014

A View through Spiritual Specs & On the Perspectives of Others…

Speaking on some things, I viewed while surfing the internet….

First, there is a video of the street protesters blocking traffic in D.C. and I have heard there have been more in some other cities as well. I commend them for standing up for something for a change, unlike times past because the enemy is real, and is still hiding behind authority figures too, as always (Ephesians 6).

NOT ALL are, but watch the fruit. I talked about this day before yesterday. What if there, was a global protest of prayer, repentance, fasting? (Acts 3:19 | 2 Chronicles 7:14 | Mark 9:29 | Mathew 17:21)

I also viewed a video of graveside eulogy or committal where the speaker held a dove and in attempt to release it along with reciting the passage, “Oh if I had wings of a dove, I would fly away” (Psalm 55:6). Only thing was is that the dove was hurled into to the air but fell to the ground… perhaps they didn’t have wings & were headed where flights are cancelled…just a thought, I’ve seen things like this happen at funerals, such as rain, dropped casket, the like. Some people watch for the biggest signs before they acknowledge the LORD or His coming. ..

“For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He takes the wise in their own craftiness”

(1 Corinthians 3:19 KJV)

It does not matter what signs we are given nor pay attention to; an oxymoron is the inattention is…HE IS COMING! The information is within the lines and precepts but we all forfeit it as if some fairy-tale of sorts. We do not have to wait on psychic or vain predictions. (2 Peter 1:20-21)

Prophecies of nations against nations Matthew 24:7 ~ ergo, a people G1484 ethnos http://biblehub.com/greek/1484.htm)

…IN THERE TOO!

^“For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in diverse places”.

(Matthew 24:7).

There has always been divers storms, wars, and rumors of wars, but recently He showed me when the times become perilous is when the last days approach.

A day in the Lord is as a thousand years, just as a thousand years is as a day (KJV). This could speak volumes depending on one’s faith.

For instance one may feel that this means they have time to get it together, repent, change his/her ways, seek the Lord, etc.

My measure of faith tells me that if I spend 1 day (one, Uno, une); it is as if I have spent a thousand with him. Therefore, I try to spend as many days as possible acknowledging him in all of my ways. I know I am imperfect and it makes sense to have the sole mediator as a friend rather than a foe.

Life is Living In Faith Everyday...Where is your Faith today? — Life is Living In Faith Everyday…Where is your Faith today?

While fellow shipping…

…yesterday, sister Debra shared a great analogy she witnessed to others about this friendship we have with Jesus Yeshua Messiah Christ.

Q & A

Scenario:

You have lived in a neighborhood for years, not really knowing your neighbor(s). One day you meet a crisis and are in immediate need of something it could be as small as an egg, cup of sugar, or maybe help with utilities. Remember you have only spoken in salutation to this neighbor in passing.

HOW COMFORTABLE ARE YOU WITH ASKING THIS NEIGHBOR FOR HELP?

Wow, I know right. Not much at all huh? Well, she said that is how it is with people who do not spend enough time with or getting to know Jesus. They merely hear about Him once or twice a week, perhaps through gospel music on the radio or maybe even via television occasionally. They feel uncomfortable with reaching out to Him because they do not know Him.

I thought it to be a great analogy. Thanks Sis!

It is like getting a little faith here and there… (Romans 10:17).

Why would we want so little from a GOD who owns everything (1 Corinthians 10:26 | Psalm 24).

“For the earth is the Lord’s and the fullness thereof”

(1 Corinthians 10:26 KJV).

I am not talking MONEY, POSSESSIONS, PROPERTY, or vain RICHES either; because there is no cover charge at heaven’s gate—JESUS YESHUA MESSIAH CHRIST already paid it all).

However, perhaps Mammon has some bogo’s or two-for-one rates in hell (2 Peter 3 | Luke 16:13 | 1 Timothy 6:10).

Where do we seek to have your thousands of cattle on a thousand hills, when we cannot even look toward the one over the hill whence comes all our help?

“I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence comes my help. My help comes from the Lord, which made heaven and earth.

(Psalm 121:1-2 KJV)

WHAT IS IT TO BE PERILOUS?

A few synonyms off top are…

Aggression competitiveness
Uncertainty –faithless
Precariousness – unstable
Unsafe – unsound
Ingratitude – unthankful
Disloyalty – trust breakers
PRIDE high-mindedness self-indulgence
Despise – haters
Self-Gratification – lovers of self
Licentious – lustful
Intoxication & Intimidation –headiness
Incontinence – No self-discipline or restraint
Injurious – harmful and/or unfriendly
Disobedience

And more….

HOW DOES THE STRONG’s BREAK IT DOWN?

5467 chalepos: hard (to do or bear) meaning “hard, troublesome, harsh, fierce”
(Retrieved from http://biblehub.com/greek/5467.htm)

Prophecies of nations against nations (Matthew 24:7 ergo, G 1484 ethnos)…

WHAT DOES THE BIBLE SAY ABOUT PERILOUS TIMES?

I THOUGHT I WOULD SHARE THIS TOO…

“This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, Traitors, heady, high-minded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts, Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth”

(2 Timothy 3:1-7 KJV).

NOW… I ASK ARE WE LIVING IN THE LAST DAYS.

We need to STAND UP FOR CHRIST, WATCH & PRAY, LOVE OVER HATING, ASSIST OTHERS & RESIST THE DEVIL… just a thought.

FRIENDLINESS: Are We Entertaining Friend or Foe?

Posted on November 4, 2014

The fiery trials will surely test our patience in the areas of friendliness….do you agree. Well allow me to elaborate a little. We all know that the friend we have in JESUS is unchanging. Why then, do the people of God not understand the concept of what it is to be a friend?

Past Thoughts via Excerpt Shares:

From the pages of eBook series “Axioms & Acronyms for L.I.F.E “Living In Faith Everyday From Faith…To Faith” By La ’Sonya R. Canfield-White & Soft cover series, “Whispers… My Journal of Poetic Suppositions: Wielding His Inspiring Spirit via Prayers, Empathy, Rejuvenations, & Scriptures” By Adorya N. White.

A FRESHER VIEW ON FRIENDSHIP

TODAY I SPECULATE ON WHAT I HAVE ALWAYS CONSIDERED CONCERNING FRIENDSHIP.

WHAT IS A FRIEND?

Well subjectively, this can be defined by a number of variations contingent on the considered connotation of one friend to another. Ironically, people do just that, delegate stipulations towards their friendships. Some of the variations include the following.

Supportiveness & Assistance
Love & Respect
Integrity & Status

WHAT TYPES OF FRIENDSHIPS EXIST TODAY ACCORDING TO THESE ASSERTIONS?

Soul Mate
Classmate
Workmate
Acquaintance
Guardian Angel
Follower
Admirer
Advocate
Spouse
Patron
Sponsor

WHERE DO THESE TYPES OF FRIENDSHIPS TAKE PLACE?

As Lovers Or Companions or In A Marriage
At Work, At School or At Home
Via Your Vocation (Calling Or Talent)
Social Media

Thinking back on how I once chose my friends, I am somewhat tickled because some I considered friends did not hold the same consideration of me. Instead, they were what I like to consider as fair weathered and only around when things were going well, money was accessible, or due my status or reputation or availability of resourcefulness at that particular time.

I too, am guilty of placing stipulations on friendships at some later point and time in my life as well. For instance, I even though not visible to the carnal eye, had self-esteem issues with being short, skinny, or petite, light-skinned, financially equipped or what I felt was security.

Additionally, what I deemed as more matured intellectually, I used to surround myself around people who would help me to stand out, whom were quite the opposite in appearance and so forth. That was short-lived though.

WHY?

Well the things I felt bad about myself the others felt good about me and I them and generally, opposites attracted in a way where our friendship evolved into being accountable for each other via helping, confidence, cooperativeness, and sociability.

We always were a help to one another, it was easy to be myself around them and they me, and it was a mutual respect or so I thought. Those who know me well know that I am talkative, sometimes overly… (Lol) and it takes a true friend to have that kind of patience with me. There has been only two considerable friends from past to present who ever wondered and asked why is it that I talk so dad gum much and this opened up a newer respect, mutually among us.

You see, there was a time in my life where I was dared not to speak via domestic violence and where the few people I considered friends, I had to sneak in order to have. By the way, I appreciate their presence in my life during those times because little did they know; I really needed them more than it seemed obvious.

As I grew older, I learned that choosing friends is more than choosing affiliation or association because these stipulations made for temporary friendships. Instead, I sought the LORD for the answers on why I felt expended or recycled as a friend in those times.

Thinking back I can remember a time when my boyfriend at the time told me to forgive a so-called friend for stealing from me (my kids school layaway and my identity by getting utilities turned on at her place in my name, plus she tried to have sex with him). He said I was always whining about how I did not have friends so perhaps I should just forgive and maybe that could change the situation. I thought he was absurd back then but looking via spiritual specs today, I see how relevant that notion was.

In my seeking the LORD for answers, I found out that in order to have a friend, I needed to know how to be a friend.

“A man that hath friends must shew himself friendly: and there is a friend that sticks closer than a brother” (proverbs 18:24 KJV).

WHAT BINDS A FRIENDSHIP?

Simply put, it is charity. This means there is a reciprocal and perpetual outpouring of virtue, patience, alms, tolerance, altruism, empathy, sympathy, and benevolence one for another.in all seasons –emphasis added (mine).

Elaboration:

It is always funny (not literally) to me to hear people backbite about others without a moment’s notice. Sometimes it is to appease their subjective insecurities or sometimes it is just in plain rudeness. At other times and most often it is due lack of empathy, understanding, or applicable knowledge of a thing, person, situation, and/or influence ~Adorya.

I cannot express the hundreds of debates I have had on the subject. What I can express is this:

We all were created in the image of God
We all sin & fall short of HIS Glory
We all have a commission of promise in our L.I.F.E. (Living in Faith Everyday)
We all will exit our physical state of being one day (via death “…unto dust shalt thou return” Gen 3:19 KJV)
We all who choose to believe in the resurrected JESUS CHRIST have the gift of salvation (saved via grace & belief John 3:16 and may have eternal life… “And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent” John 17:3 KJV)

FAST FORWARD NOVEMBER 2014

Present Thoughts:

Operating Outside of LOVE: That is The FOOLISHNESS….

[Through desire a man, having separated himself, seeks, and intermeddles with all wisdom*. A fool hath no delight in understanding, but that his heart may discover itself [sic] a fool’s mouth is his destruction, and his lips are the snare of his soul] (Proverbs 18: 1-7 kjv).

“Condemnation as in pre-judgment comes easy for most…yet to be absolvable via empathy is a divine gift of potency which draws you towards acclamation & adoration” ~ La’Sonya

“Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment (John 7:24 KJV).

I often hear fellow believers and even those who claim to be non-believers, quick-wittingly cast judgment upon others without any remorse or even yet recourse. When this happens, I test the spirits…, friend, or foe. Usually we can spot foes right off in the natural. But the most dangerous ones or those we befriend in the spiritual realm…the ones we allow access to our being, our soul, our heart, and our mind.

“Prove all things; hold fast that which is good” (1 Thessalonians 5:21 KJV).

Unbind the Soul Ties to the Preternatural Unfriendly

There should be labels I think on these devils…Buyer Beware, so to speak. These are the supernatural or preternatural entities tied to our natural friends and/or foes which seek to cause havoc, confusion, or utter disarray in our lives unbeknownst to us. Do not be surprised of their existence either because these fallen angels are under the employment of Satan. That two-headed dragon, serpent, Satan and the devil, has a job to do here on earth and that is to reveal our true faith.

“For this cause, when I could no longer forbear, I sent to know your faith, lest by some means the tempter have tempted you, and our labor be in vain” (1 Thessalonians 3:5 KJV).

Do not take my word for it…Seek for yourselves: GOD warns us not to give place to him. (Book of Ephesians Chapters 4-6 | KJV).

Moreover, reread the woes and listed blessings and curses for disobedience. You will understand how serious a matter; friendliness is, when considering whom we befriend. God gives plenty warning –Watch & Pray! —KJV

Earthen Friends should only have access to the one ^[^]who holds the key to our heart, mind, & spirit. HE, who holds this key, determines what they should or should not be allowed access to in our L.I.F.E. –Living in faith everyday (fiery trials which broaden the eyes of understanding, the wisdom principle of matters on HIS KINGDOM of TRUE LOVE & FRIENDSHIP).

Trust ye not in a friend, put ye not confidence in a guide: keep the doors of thy mouth from her that lies in thy bosom.

~Micah 7:5 KJV

Maturing in Christ will teach us about disallowance of left and right hand access to certain data in our lives. God is the only one with the capability to protect our soul and as JESUS, the only friend to trust with original and final empathy, info, and compassion for our most intimate details in this life.

When we allow these earthen vessels called friends, family, loved ones, and even foes access to our ultimate BFF, it somehow ratifies any negations they may have in conflict of who spiritually we are. Besides, if they cannot deal with the real us …what sense does it make for them to fraternize with us or for us to have fellowship with them? (Be ye separate do not be unequally yoked, do not cast pearls to swine),

–Matthew 7 & 2 Corinthians 6:14-18 KJV

I shared these excerpts mostly to be reflective on the maturation of the concept “Friendliness” These were my thoughts on friendliness’ in that season of sorrow. Somehow, they have not moved nor changed much since then.

Subsequently though, the season has changed. No longer am I sorrowful for the earthen friendships I have lost or am losing because I am in a preparatory season of pruning.

God has shown me through the years that trust in man (fleshly sense) is foolishness, because people can sometimes be insipid, they abandon without notice, no caveats. They hurt with no regret, they judge with no recourse of assist. Yet, are often hands-out for reciprocal support, promotion, and/or involvement.

Therefore, abbreviating or reducing the circle of friends is a mandatory faith assignment. The implementation simply places the true friend head-of-the-line in most all areas. It nurtures and propagates friendliness via love is a most profound, or perhaps insightful way.

Here we learn that those inerrant Words: “He sticks closer than a brother, never leaving nor forsake us”, are steadfastly indefatigable. When we accept Jesus as our friend, we can rely on a constancy of an expansively timeless love. A love that will correct us when we are at fault, but love us no less. A love that will help us when we are helpless, without provoking or backbiting. A love that will applaud us when we are improved but also promotes towards improvement where necessary, without unrighteous judgment.

There is a song that in my head repeatedly, which says, “Can you hear the sound of heaven touching earth”? Yes, I hear it!

God’s love is so infinite, immense. Immeasurably, it reaches earth from heaven and showers over us (the grass), providing the proper seeds for growth, precipitating increase of our faith via the WORD, and is overall an affability…i.e.–friendliness.

“For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withers, and the flower thereof falls away: But the word of the Lord endures forever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you“ …”The grass withers, the flower fades: because the spirit of the Lord blows upon it: surely the people are grass. The grass withers, the flower fades: but the word of our God shall stand forever“

(1 Peter 1:24-25 & Isaiah 40:7-8 KJV)

HE is sociable at all times, regardless of the many tasks already involved in. HE has an amicable characteristic or preeminent power of quality which does not require us as friends to be quantifiable. That is to say, there is no limit placed on how many of us HE calls or allows as HIS friend. HE is a savior, a propitiator and redeemer of our sins and not an instigator, thereof. HE chastens us right away in our wrongdoing because HE loves us unmerited (AGAPE) and even helps us discern Phileo/Philia and Eros in earthen friends (angels). Never Forget that some angels are FALLEN

–Hebrews 13:2 KJV

–All who are athirst, many are called, Died for All —KJV

NOW THAT IS AN AWESOME FRIENDLINESS!

WHAT or WHOSE SEED ARE YOU SOWING

Posted on October 27, 2014

Greetings All!

May this day be one of excitement and wondrous confirmation of seeds sown. May we continue to rejoice and be glad in it.

This message came to me some days ago because I have noticed how very often people forfeit memory of the seed <-> sower properties. I have seen folk scurrying about attempting to make things happen for themselves after petitioning the Lord for the very things, I, too am guilty.

It dawned on me: ….

“It doesn’t compute nor does it align with faith”

How can we ask God for things or cast HIM our cares then without notice renege on it?

If we believe HIS WORD to be the actual Truth, which it is, then shouldn’t we align everything with the measure of faith seeds given us. I think this is why I relate to life as living in faith everyday. How wonderful it is… that His Word supports the idea of cultivating or growing in grace from faith to faith, hence plenteous seed.

To embrace this fact; constitutes that since the metaphoric mustard seed is so tiny it simply justifies for me that coupled within our individual hands, we can hold many. That is a whole lot of planting.

Since we can only increase our faith through the hearing of His Word, it just makes sense to study abroad. I do not know what or how the scriptures manifest towards others but each time I read them they come alive more and more with differing meaning for various occasions or situations. HE speaks volumes to me through the inerrant WORD. There is always something there which defines, resembles, or ministers love, chastisement, peace, joy, health, strength, hope, help, more.

I’ve found the truth of how the trying of our faith works patience as well. GOD is so awesome! He answers us in yes and amen and His timing. That time through patience is where we adapt to waiting on HIM via staying power of trust and confidence. When we let go or walk away from that confidence, then we prolong the already answered yes and amen.

Therefore, I am learning to pay more attention to the faith seeds I have been gifted and praying earnestly to nourish them in love, deed, and word. God is infallible and when we opt to allow Him to move in our life issues, they are thus perfected through Him. (Phil 4:7-13)

TO GOD BE THE GLORY FOREVER & EVER ∞

Shalom & Blessings!

Word for today is SOWING

“In the morning sow thy seed, and in the evening withhold not thine hand: for thou knows not whether shall prosper, either this or that, or whether they both shall be alike good. Truly the light is sweet, and a pleasant thing it is for the eyes to behold the sun: But if a man live many years, and rejoice in them all; yet let him remember the days of darkness; for they shall be many. All that comes is vanity”

(Ecclesiastes 11:6-8 KJV).

Sowing is planting.

Actually, this can be either beneficial or detrimental given the seed (crop), time (ground. weathering & cultivation) and harvest (the yield). While this earth still revolves, throughout the seasons and as nights greet the dawn of day, the sowing is perpetual.

There is no way for us to circumvent it, except perhaps to make sure the crops are good, fruitful towards the multiplication a good or a bountiful harvest in LOVE (GOD) and not thru vanities (what looks good on the shelves of the farmers’ markets).

Yes… I think is a nice perspective on it.

Shall we begin…

“While the earth remains, seed-time and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease” (Genesis 8:22 KJV).

→Any good farmer, horticulturist or botanist can attest to the importance of good soil, fertilization, weathering, and rotation.

They may even be able to supply data on fermentation as well. This concept of sowing is metaphorically similar in that it takes all of these methods to cultivate our faith seeds.

Jesus said it only requires a small seed of faith…

Fertilized with CONFIDENCE
Planted in good soil (GOD’s GROUND of TRUTH)
Weathered by the storms (AFFLICTIONS)
Rotated (via PRAYER/PETITION) in BELIEF

…to ferment (INCITE BY FIRE TRIALS) the removal of mountains and trees.

◊ I’m going somewhere with this ◊

“And the Lord said, If ye had faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye might say unto this sycamine tree, Be thou plucked up by the root, and be thou planted in the sea; and it should obey you”

(Luke 17: 6 KJV).

“And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you”

(Matthew 17:20 KJV)

WHERE DO THE SEEDS COME FROM?

Good question with a simple reply. GOD supplies the seeds liberally unto all and we need only reap the abundance (harvest) through cultivating our prayer, praise, gratitude, and reverence.

“Now he that ministers seed to the sower both minister bread for your food, and multiply your seed sown, and increase the fruits of your righteousness; Being enriched in every thing to all bountifulness, which causes through us thanksgiving to God. For the administration of this service not only supplies the want of the saints, but is abundant also by many thanksgivings unto God; Whiles by the experiment of this ministration they glorify God for your professed subjection unto the gospel of Christ, and for your liberal distribution unto them, and unto all men; And by their prayer for you, which long after you for the exceeding grace of God in you” (2 Corinthians 9:10-14 KJV).

HOW DO YOU RECOGNIZE WHERE EACH SEED GOES?

Again it is easy but first you have to KNOW WHERE TO PICK UP YOUR SEEDS. You pick up your seeds of faith via daily meditation and study from the WORD of GOD. Once obtained, the vision of hope [where the seeds go] becomes clearer in view via spiritual specs (EYES of UNDERSTANDING).

‪#‎SOWING‬

“So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God” (Romans 10:17)

“The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints, And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power, Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places, Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come: And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church, Which is his body, the fullness of him that fills all in all” (Ephesians 1:18-23 KJV).

We must remember to monitor our pastures, fields, or gardens of dreams, hope, and petitions BE CAREFUL of CANKER WORMS (serpent workers) trying to devour our crops. Please search these scriptures for varying strengths of proper PESTICIDES…Sometimes we have to let the tares grow alongside our good crop but in due season bind them up and HE casts them away.

WATCH & PRAY

…for more just refer to GARDENER’S manual.

“This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou may observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success”

(Joshua 1:8 KJV).

“Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needs not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. But shun profane and vain babbling’s: for they will increase unto more ungodliness. And their word will eat as doth a canker: of whom is Hymenaeus and Philetus; Who concerning the truth have erred, saying that the resurrection is past already; and overthrow the faith of some. Nevertheless the foundation of God stands sure, having this seal, The Lord knows them that are his. And, let every one that names the name of Christ depart from iniquity”

( 2 Timothy 2:15-19 KJV).

Now that we know

who provides the seeds;
where to pick them up,
where to plant them and
how to protect them…

We can CULTIVATE (INCREASE) them by allowing them to stand still in the soil or good ground (GOD) especially during difficult WEATHER, which assists us in ROTATION (turn the not so good ground over –HALLOWING or SANCTIFYING IT), FERMENTING (proper warming) & NOURISHING (proper care, water, pruning, etc) our seeds towards the exceeding abundant HARVEST (the expected end, evidentiary unseen substances of hope via blessings, favor, mercy, grace, joy, peace, health and prosperity).

“And other fell on good ground, and did yield fruit that sprang up and increased; and brought forth, some thirty, and some sixty, and some an hundred. And he said unto them, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear. And when he was alone, they that were about him with the twelve asked of him the parable. And he said unto them, Unto you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God: but unto them that are without, all these things are done in parables:That seeing they may see, and not perceive; and hearing they may hear, and not understand; lest at any time they should be converted, and their sins should be forgiven them. And he said unto them, Know ye not this parable? and how then will ye know all parables”

(Mark 4:8-13 KJV)?

WHAT SEED(S) ARE WE SOWING?

The process involves knowing the seed (WORD) and and ourselves (the sower). When we make time to get to know the SEED we have all the equipment, necessary towards cultivation of…

THE UNSPEAKABLE GIFT of GRACE FROM FAITH TO FAITH.

“And he said, Unto you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God: but to others in parables; that seeing they might not see, and hearing they might not understand. Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God” ( Luke 8:10-11 KJV).

SHALOM & BLESSINGS! May we continue GROWING in our SOWING!

Never Retire L.I.F.E. ~Living In Faith Everyday

SOWING = “SANCTIFYING OUR WORSHIP IMMENSELY in the NURTURE of GOD”

“For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith” (Romans 1:17 KJV).

MzIAMNRU LaSonya Canfield the Messenger

On each of my platforms I share the following: Dynamic Poetic Dialect & Shares re: Life’s Lessons, Blessings & United Worldviews via Poetic Meditations Publications • Author Central and A One Stop for Business & Product Sales; Spiritual Counsel via Poetic Meditations, Readings & Art via Inspirations Etc and Sharing Intercession, Scriptural Commentary via Subjective Study Aimed for Ascension via Survivors thru Christ Transcendental Support Group Ministries and also a Prayer Group, all on Facebook. There’s also the Inspirations Etc website which is currently under maintenance to bring some newer stuff. TBA. MzIAMNRU is the moniker or screen name for most other platforms like IG, YouTube, TikTok.
Perhaps they’ll all be integrated at a later date, as I walk further into this journey of Self *Seeking Empathy of Life’s Force*

I chose the moniker MzIAMNRU for various reasons many years ago. It's a compliment of Self. It's a subjective combination acronym and affirmation.
M reminds me to always be "ME" –Mindfully Empathetic. Z reminds me of the zest and zeal for life as Zion's Finest One (chosen), another moniker of mine. The I is a reminder to question the questions as in Inspection. A and M, hold several meanings for me. I'll share two. First, it's a reminder that I AM validated by design of the MOST HIGH. I exist in, on and with purpose. It hones that life is an artistic map of amazement, allure, allegory, awakenings; and matrices, mayhems, mystery, music and magic. The NRU asks are you in? Yet, it also nudges me to gain right understanding.
