An established heart is fixed, steadfast, unwavering, trusting in the Lord always and in all circumstances no matter what those circumstances are.  The established heart does not weaver in times of trouble or distress.  A person with an established heart does not worry, fret, or fear.  They do not focus on the problem but on the answer.

A person who has an established heart is a person who walks the Love Walk no matter what the circumstances are.  The person with an established heart has set their love upon the Father. This person will be walking in the fruit of the Spirit.

The Person with an established heart is Spiritually minded, and God’s Word ruled.  God and His Living Word is first place in this person’s life.  They are not ruled by their senses, emotions, or feelings. God and His Living Word are first place in this person’s life.  The person with an established heart or who is Spiritually minded will be God and others centered, not self-centered.

Proverbs 4: 23  Keep and guard your heart with all vigilance and above all that you guard, for out of it flow the springs of life. (Amplified Classic)

Colossians 3: 1 – 3 IF THEN you have been raised with Christ [to a new life, thus sharing His resurrection from the dead], aim at and seek the [rich, eternal treasures] that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. (2) And set your minds and keep them set on what is above (the higher things), not on the things that are on the earth. (3) For [as far as this world is concerned] you have died, and your [new, real] life is hidden with Christ in God. (Amplified Classic)

Galatians 5: 25  If we live by the [Holy] Spirit, let us also walk by the Spirit. [If by the Holy Spirit we have our life in God, let us go forward walking in line, our conduct controlled by the Spirit.] (Amplified Classic)

Psalm 25: 1  UNTO YOU, O Lord, do I bring my life. (2) O my God, I trust, lean on, rely on, and am confident in You… (Amplified Classic)

Everything Hangs on the Rod of Love. When you let love fall, your faith, healing, prosperity, prayers, deliverance, everything will fall.

Luke 10: 25 – 28 (Amplified Classic) And then a certain lawyer arose to try (test, tempt) Him, saying, Teacher, what am I to do to inherit everlasting life [that is, to partake of eternal salvation in the Messiah’s kingdom]? (26) Jesus said to him, What is written in the Law? How do you read it? (27) And he replied, You must love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind; and your neighbor as yourself. (28) And Jesus said to him, You have answered correctly; do this, and you will live [enjoy active, blessed, endless life in the kingdom of God].          

Manifestations come through expressing God’s love toward others.  But we have resisted God’s love for so long that we fail to see manifestations in our lives as we should.  Real love always produces manifestations of His Presence. We must demonstrate love in order to have genuine manifestation of God’s Word in our life at all times,

John 13: 34 – 35 (Amplified Classic) I give you a new commandment: that you should love one another. Just as I have loved you, so you too should love one another. (35) By this shall all [men] know that you are My disciples, if you love one another [if you keep on showing love among yourselves].

1st Corinthians 16: 14 (Amplified Classic) Let everything you do be done in love (true love to God and man as inspired by God’s love for us).

Colossians 3: 17 (Amplified Classic) And whatever you do [no matter what it is] in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus and in [dependence upon] His Person, giving praise to God the Father through Him.

Colossians 3: 14 (Amplified Classic) And above all these [put on] love and enfold yourselves with the bond of perfectness [which binds everything together completely in ideal harmony].

Love is the distinguishing mark of the Christian: It is the only way the World will recognize us as Believers. The power flows from the unity of heart.

Matthew 18: 19 -20 (Amplified Classic) Again I tell you, if two of you on earth agree (harmonize together, make a symphony together) about whatever [anything and everything] they may ask, it will come to pass and be done for them by My Father in heaven. (20) For wherever two or three are gathered (drawn together as My followers) in (into) My name, there I AM in the midst of them.

The key to individual and corporate revival lies in the unity of heart or our Love one for another.  Love between the individual and God which leads to the unity or Love of the corporate body and God.

John 13: 33 – 34 (Amplified Classic) I give you a new commandment: that you should love one another. Just as I have loved you, so you too should love one another. (34) By this shall all [men] know that you are My disciples, if you love one another [if you keep on showing love among yourselves].

John 17: 20 – 23 (Amplified Classic) Neither for these alone do I pray [it is not for their sake only that I make this request], but also for all those who will ever come to believe in (trust in, cling to, rely on) Me through their word and teaching, (21) That they all may be one, [just] as You, Father, are in Me and I in You, that they also may be one in Us, so that the world may believe and be convinced that You have sent Me. (22) I have given to them the glory and honor which You have given Me, that they may be one [even] as We are one: (23) I in them and You in Me, in order that they may become one and perfectly united, that the world may know and [definitely] recognize that You sent Me and that You have loved them [even] as You have loved Me. ** (1st John 4: 17 … As He Is so are we in this world.)

Love is the Foundation for Everything in Christian Life. Whenever Jesus talks about keeping His commandments, He is talking about the commandment of love. Love is not a suggestion: it is a command from the Commander-in-Chief God.

Matthew 22: 34 – 40 (NKJV) But when the Pharisees heard that He had silenced the Sadducees, they gathered together. (35) Then one of them, a lawyer, asked Him a question, testing Him, and saying, (36) “Teacher, which is the great commandment in the law?” (37) Jesus said to him, ‘YOU SHALL LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART, WITH ALL YOUR SOUL, AND WITH ALL YOUR MIND.’ (38) This is the first and great commandment. (39) And the second is like it: ‘YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF.’ (40) On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets.”

John 15: 9 – 13 (Amplified Classic) I have loved you, [just] as the Father has loved Me; abide in My love [continue in His love with Me]. (10) If you keep My commandments [if you continue to obey My instructions], you will abide in My love and live on in it, just as I have obeyed My Father’s commandments and live on in His love. (11) I have told you these things, that My joy and delight may be in you, and that your joy and gladness may be of full measure and complete and overflowing. (12) This is My commandment: that you love one another [just] as I have loved you. (13) No one has greater love [no one has shown stronger affection] than to lay down (give up) his own life for his friends.

You cannot walk in the Spirit (or be Spiritually Minded) without walking in Love. The root or source of every commandment is Love.

Walking in the Spirit is dwelling in the Secret Place.

Psalm 91: 1 – 2 (Amplified Classic) HE WHO dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall remain stable and fixed under the shadow of the Almighty [Whose power no foe can withstand]. (2) I will say of the Lord, He is my Refuge and my Fortress, my God; on Him I lean and rely, and in Him I [confidently] trust!

You cannot walk in the Spirit or dwell in the Secret Place without setting your love upon Him

Col. 2: 6 – 7 (Amplified Classic) As you have therefore received Christ, [even] Jesus the Lord, [so] walk (regulate your lives and conduct yourselves) in union with and conformity to Him. (7) Have the roots [of your being] firmly and deeply planted [in Him, fixed and founded in Him], being continually built up in Him, becoming increasingly more confirmed and established in the faith, just as you were taught, and abounding and overflowing in it with thanksgiving.

If I have set my love upon Him, I will be walking in the Spirit.  If I am walking in the Spirit the Fruit of the Spirit will be flowing in and through my life.

All of God’s Ways are Love.

Ephesians 3: 17 – 19 (Amplified Classic)  May Christ through your faith [actually] dwell (settle down, abide, make His permanent home) in your hearts! May you be rooted deep in love and founded securely on love, (18) That you may have the power and be strong to apprehend and grasp with all the saints [God’s devoted people, the experience of that love] what is the breadth and length and height and depth [of it]; (19) [That you may really come] to know [practically, through experience for yourselves] the love of Christ, which far surpasses mere knowledge [without experience]; that you may be filled [through all your being] unto all the fullness of God [may have the richest measure of the divine Presence, and become a body wholly filled and flooded with God Himself]!

It is vital that we know the Ways of the Lord.  We must become Spiritually Minded.  To be Spiritually minded we must know God’s Ways.  We must make His Ways our ways.

If we do not know God’s Ways, the enemy the Devil will be able to easily deceive us.  We will be carnally minded. If we are carnally or fleshly, worldly minded our ways are not God’s Ways.

As we study God’s Living Word, and walk in Love, God’s Ways are revealed to us by the Holy Spirit. All of God’s Ways are revealed in Jesus Christ.  All of God’s Ways are Love because God Is Love.  If God Is Love, then we are Love. If His Ways are all Love, then our ways are also Love.

The Ways of the Lord Are; Therefore, our ways are: Love – Absolute Truth – Mercy – Grace – Loving kindness – Goodness – Faithfulness – Integrity – Long suffering – Full of Joy – Eternal without ceasing – Holy – Steadfast – Righteous – Bring life – Always right

 

“Entering the Rest of Faith”

It is Impossible to please God without Faith

Hebrews 11: 6 (Amplified Classic) But without faith it is impossible to please and be satisfactory to Him. For whoever would come near to God must [necessarily] believe that God exists and that He is the rewarder of those who earnestly and diligently seek Him [out].

Faith is not something we do occasionally when we need something. Faith is a lifestyle, a way of life.  It is habitual for the Believer to walk in Faith throughout all their lives.  If a Believer or Born-Again person, is not walking in Love and in Faith in God and His Word that person is abnormal.

When we believe (Adhere to, Trust in, and Rely on) God and His Word as absolute truth our Faith unlocks the inheritance that Jesus paid for and God Himself gave to us.

Love is the Power Source – Faith in God and His Word is the Key.  Love and Faith in God and His Word work together to enter His place of Rest

You cannot function is doubt and Faith at the same time.  (It is impossible to please God without Faith). Doubt is what Satan used in the Garden of Eden.  He is still using doubt today.

When you function in doubt, worry, and fear you enter into unrest and cannot enter the place of God’s Rest in His Word.

Faith in God and His Word causes us to enter into the place of God’s Rest and Peace.  Faith in God and His Word becomes our anchor.

Are you walking in doubt, worry, and fear?  Faith in God and His Word will cast out doubt, worry, and fear.

Faith is a condition of the heart.  It is rooted in the absolute truth of God’s Word which cannot lie and cannot be changed.

Faith is not a movement.  Faith is the lifestyle of the born-again Christian.  Faith is the only way to please God.

Hebrews 11: 6 (NKJV) But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.

Are you looking at the circumstances of your life through the eyes of faith in the absolute truth of God’s Living Word or through the eyes of fear, worry, and doubt?

“No Middle Ground”

Click Here To Download This Message – 080210 – No Middle Ground

Righteousness and right standing with God is an exciting subject.

Most of us mistakenly think that in order to be righteous I myself have to make myself righteous. The truth is I cannot do enough in my own strength to make myself righteous before God. Righteousness or right standing with God is a free gift from God. God is the only one that can make us right with Him. Righteousness cannot be earned; it is a free gift from God. There is no amount of works that I can do that will ever make me right with God.

Either we are right or we are wrong. There is no middle row. There is no neutral. Either we are saved (Born Again) or we are not. Either we are in darkness or we are in the light. Either you are walking with God or you are not walking with God. There is no middle ground.

Righteousness is simply being right. God said Today I present to you, Life and Death, Choose Life. If you are going to be right you have to do it God’s way. You have to choose Life.

The only one that can determine whether I am right or wrong is me. You say then, ok then I am right. No, you have to choose and act on what God says is right. God determines what is right and wrong but I am the only one that can choose to be right or wrong. God’s ways are the only ways to be right. Our set stands of being right has already been set by God Himself.

It is harder to live wrong than it is to live right. The only real peace in life comes from being right. God has made a way but He will not make us walk in it.

Psalm 34: 12 – 15 (Amplified Bible) What man is he who desires life and longs for many days, that he may see good? (13) Keep your tongue from evil and your lips from speaking deceit.
(14) Depart from evil and do good; seek, inquire for, and crave peace and pursue (go after) it! (15) The eyes of the Lord are toward the [uncompromisingly] righteous and His ears are open to their cry.

There is a big difference between walking right with God or right with the flesh and the world. The fruit and the effect are going to come from one or the other.

Psalm 33: 18 – 22 (Amplified Bible) Behold, the Lord’s eye is upon those who fear Him [who revere and worship Him with awe], who wait for Him and hope in His mercy and loving-kindness, (19) To deliver them from death and keep them alive in famine. (20) Our inner selves wait [earnestly] for the Lord; He is our Help and our Shield. (21) For in Him does our heart rejoice, because we have trusted (relied on and been confident) in His holy name. (22) Let Your mercy and loving-kindness, O Lord, be upon us, in proportion to our waiting and hoping for You.

We need to be making a daily and moment by moment heart check in our lives. What is the motive behind what I do? Do we walk with God here but not here?

Romans 8: 5 – 6 (NKJV) For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit. (6) For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.

Deuteronomy 30: 11 – 20 (Amplified Bible)  For this commandment which I command you this day is not too difficult for you, nor is it far off. (12) It is not [a secret laid up] in heaven, that you should say, Who shall go up for us to heaven and bring it to us, that we may hear and do it? (13) Neither is it beyond the sea, that you should say, Who shall go over the sea for us and bring it to us, that we may hear and do it? (14) But the word is very near you, in your mouth and in your mind and in your heart, so that you can do it. (15) See, I have set before you this day life and good, and death and evil. (16) [If you obey the commandments of the Lord your God which] I command you today, to love the Lord your God, to walk in His ways, and to keep His commandments and His statutes and His ordinances, then you shall live and multiply, and the Lord your God will bless you in the land into which you go to possess. (17) But if your [mind and] heart turn away and you will not hear, but are drawn away to worship other gods and serve them, (18) I declare to you today that you shall surely perish, and you shall not live long in the land which you pass over the Jordan to enter and possess. (19) I call heaven and earth to witness this day against you that I have set before you life and death, the blessings and the curses; therefore choose life, that you and your descendants may live (20) And may love the Lord your God, obey His voice, and cling to Him. For He is your life and the length of your days, that you may dwell in the land which the Lord swore to give to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

 

“Righteousness Before and After the Cross – What Is the Difference?”

Click Here To Download This Message – 150510 – Righteousness Before And After The Cross – What Is The Difference 

In this message we will be discussing the difference between Righteousness before the Cross and after the Cross. How does that difference affect us in our individual and corporate walk today? We the Church must know the difference in order to be the Church that is needed in this dark time and the future that lies ahead. As Scriptures says we the Church are the light of this world.

The only hope that this world has is Jesus. We the Church are His representatives and sent ones in this hour. The only way that we can bring the Gospel to this hurting world is to know who we are in Christ Jesus and our right standing with God. We must walk in the fullness of the free gift of righteousness in order for the world to see Jesus.

Jesus, by His Blood, purchased our Righteousness or Right Standing with God. It is a free gift. Now we walk a Holy life by walking the Love Walk as detailed in 1st Corinthians 13: 4 – 8. The Love Walk is the way that we become one, one with each other and one with God the Father, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit. Jesus prayed in John 17 that they (we) may be one that the world may know. In order for the Church to become one the way Jesus prayed we must understand the difference between Righteous before the Cross and after the Cross. The Cross is the dividing line.

Romans 3: 24 (Amplified Bible) [All] are justified and made upright and in right standing with God, freely and gratuitously by His grace (His unmerited favor and mercy), through the redemption which is [provided] in Christ Jesus,

Romans 5: 17 (Amplified Bible) For if because of one man’s trespass (lapse, offense) death reigned through that one, much more surely will those who receive [God’s] overflowing grace (unmerited favor) and the free gift of righteousness [putting them into right standing with Himself] reign as kings in life through the one Man Jesus Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One).

1st Corinthians 13: 4 – 8a (Amplified Bible) Love endures long and is patient and kind; love never is envious nor boils over with jealousy, is not boastful or vainglorious, does not display itself haughtily. (5) It is not conceited (arrogant and inflated with pride); it is not rude (unmannerly) and does not act unbecomingly. Love (God’s love in us) does not insist on its own rights or its own way, for it is not self-seeking; it is not touchy or fretful or resentful; it takes no account of the evil done to it [it pays no attention to a suffered wrong]. (6) It does not rejoice at injustice and unrighteousness, but rejoices when right and truth prevail. (7) Love bears up under anything and everything that comes, is ever ready to believe the best of every person, its hopes are fadeless under all circumstances, and it endures everything [without weakening]. (8a) Love never fails [never fades out or becomes obsolete or comes to an end].

John 17: 17 – 21  (Amplified Bible) Sanctify them [purify, consecrate, separate them for Yourself, make them holy] by the Truth; Your Word is Truth. (18) Just as You sent Me into the world, I also have sent them into the world. (19) And so for their sake and on their behalf I sanctify (dedicate, consecrate) Myself, that they also may be sanctified (dedicated, consecrated, made holy) in the Truth. (20) Neither for these alone do I pray [it is not for their sake only that I make this request], but also for all those who will ever come to believe in (trust in, cling to, rely on) Me through their word and teaching, (21) That they all may be one, [just] as You, Father, are in Me and I in You, that they also may be one in Us, so that the world may believe and be convinced that You have sent Me.

John 15: 7 (Amplified Bible) If you live in Me [abide vitally united to Me] and My words remain in you and continue to live in your hearts, ask whatever you will, and it shall be done for you.

Galatians 6: 7 – 9 (Amplified Bible) Do not be deceived and deluded and misled; God will not allow Himself to be sneered at (scorned, disdained, or mocked by mere pretensions or professions, or by His precepts being set aside.) [He inevitably deludes himself who attempts to delude God.] For whatever a man sows, that and that only is what he will reap. (8) For he who sows to his own flesh (lower nature, sensuality) will from the flesh reap decay and ruin and destruction, but he who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life. (9) And let us not lose heart and grow weary and faint in acting nobly and doing right, for in due time and at the appointed season we shall reap, if we do not loosen and relax our courage and faint.

James 1: 5 – 7 (Amplified Bible) If any of you is deficient in wisdom, let him ask of the giving God [Who gives] to everyone liberally and ungrudgingly, without reproaching or faultfinding, and it will be given him. (6) Only it must be in faith that he asks with no wavering (no hesitating, no doubting). For the one who wavers (hesitates, doubts) is like the billowing surge out at sea that is blown hither and thither and tossed by the wind. (7) For truly, let not such a person imagine that he will receive anything [he asks for] from the Lord,

1st John 4: 16 – 17  (Amplified Bible) And we know (understand, recognize, are conscious of, by observation and by experience) and believe (adhere to and put faith in and rely on) the love God cherishes for us. God is love, and he who dwells and continues in love dwells and continues in God, and God dwells and continues in him. (17) In this [union and communion with Him] love is brought to completion and attains perfection with us, that we may have confidence for the day of judgment [with assurance and boldness to face Him], because as He is, so are we in this world.

1st John 4: 6 – 8  (Amplified Bible) We are [children] of God. Whoever is learning to know God [progressively to perceive, recognize, and understand God by observation and experience, and to get an ever-clearer knowledge of Him] listens to us; and he who is not of God does not listen or pay attention to us. By this we know (recognize) the Spirit of Truth and the spirit of error. (7) Beloved, let us love one another, for love is (springs) from God; and he who loves [his fellowmen] is begotten (born) of God and is coming [progressively] to know and understand God [to perceive and recognize and get a better and clearer knowledge of Him].(8) He who does not love has not become acquainted with God [does not and never did know Him], for God is love.

Galatians 6: 7 – 9   (Amplified Bible) Do not be deceived and deluded and misled; God will not allow Himself to be sneered at (scorned, disdained, or mocked by mere pretensions or professions, or by His precepts being set aside.) [He inevitably deludes himself who attempts to delude God.] For whatever a man sows, that and that only is what he will reap. (8) For he who sows to his own flesh (lower nature, sensuality) will from the flesh reap decay and ruin and destruction, but he who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life. (9) And let us not lose heart and grow weary and faint in acting nobly and doing right, for in due time and at the appointed season we shall reap, if we do not loosen and relax our courage and faint.

Doing the Do’s in the Bible or walking the Love Walk (1st Corinthians 13: 4 – 8 Amplified Bible) obeying God’s Word submitting our life to the Lordship of Jesus Christ in every area of life produces Kingdom fruit by the Law of the Spirit of Life.

By doing this as a way of life the troubles and problems in our life will position us to bear Kingdom fruit right in the midst of the biggest and most intense storms of life.  

Romans 8:1 – 2 (Amplified Bible)  THEREFORE, [there is] now no condemnation (no adjudging guilty of wrong) for those who are in Christ Jesus, who live [and] walk not after the dictates of the flesh, but after the dictates of the Spirit. (2) For the law of the Spirit of life [which is] in Christ Jesus [the law of our new being] has freed me from the law of sin and of death.

Doing the Do not’s in the Bible produces the Law of Sin and Death

Romans 8:5  For those who are according to the flesh and are controlled by its unholy desires set their minds on and pursue those things which gratify the flesh, but those who are according to the Spirit and are controlled by the desires of the Spirit set their minds on and seek those things which gratify the [Holy] Spirit.
