KEEP MY COMMANDMENTS
Wednesday – March 18, 2020, Adar 22, 5780
Greetings dear wonderful friends and partners of this Ministry and The Three Minute Word blog. God is so good! We are a people blessed far beyond our current understanding. Our God is a good God who is not in the stealing, killing, and destroying present in the lives of too many Christians. Our God is not holding us back from prosperity. He has prepared prosperity for us that we don’t even dare dream about. Jesus also paid for us to have exceedingly good health. Our God is one of abundance and the Word (Jesus) came to give that abundant life, it is ours by faith, in love, led of the Holy Spirit.
John 10:10 (KJV)
10 The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.
Ephesians 3:20 (KJV)
20 Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us,
Do we dare believe these verses? Do we dare confess them over our lives? How long dear ones will we allow, yes, we allow even invite, the evil one, the thief to beat our brains out? How long?
The Photo’s this week are courtesy of our granddaughter, Little Moments Photography, including the Thursday picture of Donna and me on a sleigh ride. Today’s picture is of the beautiful horses that pulled the sleigh. If you are reading this on Facebook please take the moment it takes to hit the “love” and “share” buttons to give us feedback and expand the reach of this good news. Ladies please be sure you have registered and have a poster for your Church, and flyers for the upcoming Women’s Conference themed “The Virtuous Woman” on the 30th of May 2020 at New Beginnings Church of God in Waterville, Maine. Now let’s turn our attention to our text in the Book of John and read it aloud.
John 15:8-12 (KJV)
8 Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples.
9 As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love.
10 If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father’s commandments, and abide in his love.
11 These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full.
12 This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you.
What an exciting week in the Word of God dear friends, partners, saints of the only living eternal God. Our fruit bearing is a testimony of the goodness of our Heavenly Father. It is hard for those around us to tell if our God is good or not when we have nothing good to show in our lives beyond what the world has. The fruit of our lives is not what sustains us, it is what overflows for the enlargement of the Kingdom and to build others up. What sustains and strengthens us is the vine, the Word of God. More precisely unwavering faith in the Word of God. The telltale sign of unwavering faith is the actual performance of the Word, of that faith in the Word, in our lives. If all we have is talk about faith and no evidence of it, we are deceived. We must trust the Lord, His Word, wholeheartedly and be obedient without hesitation. When what we say we have faith for does not happen in our lives we either are not in real faith, don’t have the right motive (love), or we are not being led of the Holy Spirit. No one can stop the will of God in our lives other than we ourselves.
I am sure that as you have been looking at and reading (aloud) verse ten you recognize that this is an area I camped out on for weeks just recently. Loving God is doing His commandments. Loving God brings the manifestation of His love (agape) into our lives which will be a testimony for all to see. It will be abundant overflowing finances and a whole and healthy body. That which overflows in our lives is the starting point for our part in the expansion of the Kingdom of God and helping our fellow brother and sister substantively. Dear saints not only is the will of God for us to be very rich but He wants us to be very healthy as well. Poor and sick people cannot be nearly as effective for the Kingdom. Please do not get into condemnation but let us all recognize the conviction of the Holy Spirit and follow His lead to change financially and physically.
Until our next publication, as a Bible Teacher and Prophetic Voice I speak this blessing over each and every one of you, receive it, believe it, and speak over yourself and your family by faith in Jesus name! Quit asking God to bless you, you are already blessed, you have the Blessing, give Him something to do by the words of your mouth. Once you know the will of God, decree the thing (Job 22:28, Isaiah 45:11, Mark 11:23). (The Blessing is the Holy Spirit) We have left God way to long with nothing to do in our lives.
Numbers 6:24-26 (AMP)
24 The Lord bless you and watch, guard, and keep you;
25 The Lord make His face to shine upon and enlighten you and be gracious (kind, merciful, and giving favor) to you;
26 The Lord lift up His [approving] countenance upon you and give you peace (tranquility of heart and life continually).
