Psalms 91:15 Part2

Praise the Lord everybody and may the richly bless you. Lets look at the second I will.
2.)I WILL BE WITH HIM IN TROUBLE!!!!
When we read this you and I have to hear the voice of our heavenly Father saying to us I am with you no matter what is coming at you. We are to hear him say I have given you the way out of trouble, I have sent you my son, through him I will always be with you. Listen to the definition of the word trouble from Websters Dictionary.1.To disturb 2.To distress 3.To busy 4.Distress 5.Aggitation 6. Affliction 7.Labor. A s we look at these definition we can see what the Father is saying no matter what is going on I am with you. Which leads us into the promise of the next I will.
3. I WILL DELIVER HIM AND HONOR HIM!!!
This I will says I will deliver him. It is sad but many of us just fail to see Gods promise to deliver us from the troubles that come at us. God promised to deliver us and He kept that promise listen to the the words of Psalm 107:20"He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destuctions. notice it says their destructions meaning more than one so no matter what the enemy is trying to throw at us God our Father has sent our deliverence. Listen to the words of John 3:16"For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that whosoever beleiveth in him should not parish,but have everlasting life. If you are a whosoever the promise is right there He sent us our deliverence in and through his son. We are the redeemed of the LORD!!! Every where we turn somebody is trying to give an answer to the problems we are facing today,every politician is trying to give us the answer, but there is only one answer it is Jesus the Son Of God. The answers we seek are in the WORD of GOD and our relationship to it. When ever a person or persons,or a nation gets to the point where they think they dont need God or His Word thats when you will no longer have the protective hand of God upon you. in closing today hear the word of the Lord from John 1:1,14"In the begining was the WORD,and the WORD was with GOD,and the WORD was GOD."14:"And the WORD was made flesh and dwelt among us,(and we beheld his glory,the glory as of the only begotten of the father,)full of grace and truth. Jesus is that WORD and he was sent to deliver,heal and protect those who would only beleive. May the Lord shine his light upon us that we might truly begin to see through the cloud of darkness that the enemy trys to cloud our way with. From Pastor Ken.

Psalms 91:15

Good morning and praise the Lord our God for his wonderful love he imparts to us and for his abounding grace. Psa.91:15 "He shall call upon me, and I will answer him, I will be with him im trouble,I will deliver him and honor him. Notice how many times the term I will is in this verse. Three times the Father makes the point of letting us know He will be there for us. Lets look at the first one.
1. I WILL ANSWER HIM: This is Gods word to us spoken to us by the power of the Holy Spirit through the writng of the psalmist. God our Father says "He shall call upon me and I will answer him. God our Father is letting us know if we call upon him he will hear us and answer us. Jesus spoke the same promise to us in John 14:13-14 "And whatsoever you ask the Father in my name,that will I do,that the Father may be glorified in the Son."If ye ask anything in my name I will do it. I think that in many cases of unanswered prayer its because that the devil trys to convince us that we are unworthy of receiving an answer to our prayers. WE need to realize that in our relationship with Christ we have become worthy to have our payers answered by the Father. Jesus said he will do it what ever we ask him in prayer. We need to only believe it. Listen to the word of the LORD from Mark 11:24"Therfore I (Jesus) say (to) you,What things soever ye desire,when ye pray,believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them. You and I must believe that the momemt we bring our petition before the Lord in payer through the name of Jesus he hears us and answers us. Does this not agree with what the psalmist said to us. He meaning you and I shall call upon me and I (GOD) will answer him. May the Lord Bless you and Keep you in His awsome arms of Love. From Pastor Ken

Psalms 91:14

Hello and praise the Lord.What a mighty God we serve. Psalms 91:14 "Because he hath set his love upon me,therefore will I deliver him I will set him on high,because he hath known my name. Notice these words "Because he hath set his love upon me" Have we really set our love upon the Lord? To me when a person really loves someone and has set there love towards that person, they devote themselves to making that love true and solid.I believe every child of God must have devoted love toward God. This type of love does not put itself before the will and purpose of God. What I mean is that God must be first and foremost in our lives. Seeking his will and purpose for our lives.The question each and every one of us need to consider here is this. Where is the focus of our love.Is it on God and what he has planned for us or is it on self and self gratfication.To set our love upon God we must give up our self will. We must surrender to his will. For most of us to surrender our will is hard because we have been taught all our lives that we must be in control. We have the idea if I surrender my will I will be weak. I beleive that once we decide to surrender our will over to the will of God we will find a place of peace like we have never known.we will find that place where fear will not be a part of our lives the scripture says that "There is no fear in love;but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment: And he that feareth is not made perfect in love. When we surrender to God his perfected love starts to manifest in our lives the more we surrender the richer the love. I ask you again where is the focus of your love? God Bless You. From Pastor Ken.

Psalms91:13

Good morning everybody and praise the Lord our God. I just want to praise ;the Lord for all the love and mercy He showers down on all of us.For His arms of protection that embrace all his children. As we look into verse thirteen this morning we are going to see that God has given us a command to stand up against the enemy.91:13"Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder;the young lion and the dragon,shalt thou trample under feet. We as beleivers have been given the authority to do exactly what the Psalmist has revealed to us here. Jesus gave us the authority when he spoke these words in Luke 10:19"Behold I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions,and over all the power of the enemy:and nothing shall by any means hurt you. Jesus is talking here and he has said I give you power over the enemy. You might ask how? He has given us the beleiver his name and told us to go forth in his name. In Mark 16:17-18 Jesus tells us to go forth in his name. Listen to the Words of Jesus to us." And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils;they shall speak with new tongues; They shall take up serpents;and if they drink any deadly thing,it shall not hurt them;they shall lay hands on the sick,and they shall recover. Jesus gave us His name and if we believe in that name and all that it represents we will walk in the power of the resurrected Christ,we will do the works that he did. The one thing the enemy of our soul fears is the name of Jesus. At the name of Jesus every demon in hell fears and trembles. And when that name is spoken from the lips of a believer who knows his rights and privileges in Christ the power of the Almighty will be manifested. And sickness wuill have to flee, and demons have to flee. You and I must do what it says in James 4:7"Submit yourselves therefore unto God. Resist the devil,and he will have to flee. You and I must surrender to the will of GOD when we do the abillity to resist the enemy becomes powerful in our lives. You and I are the redeemed of the LORD he did not leave us power less. HE gave us his name JESUS!!!!!!!!!!!!! have a blessed day in the LORD our God. From Pastor Ken

Psalms91:11-12

Good morning and praise the LORD!!! He is worthy to be PRAISED!!!!Verses 11-12"For he shall give his angels charge over thee,to keep thee in all thy ways. They shall bear thee up in their hands,lest thou dash thy foot against a stone. Oh what a promise from our Father God. You and I are encamped about by the angels of the LORD, they are there to protect and shield us. I personaly beleive we are surronded on all sides by the angels of the LORD. I have never seen them but never the less I beleive they are there. I beleive the Word of God and according to Hebrews 1:14 they are there for us who are heirs of salvation"Are they not all ministering spirits,sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation? Now listen to this verse from the amplified translation:"Are not the angels all ministering spirits(servents)sent out in the service{of God for the assistance]of those who are to inherit salvation. Think about it what a safety net God has around us as we walk upright before the Lord. The lord has promised us that if we follow after his truths. He will place an encampment of angels all aroud us and on all sides of us. I remember growing up my grandmother would tell me all the time that I had a gaurdian angel assigned to me by the lord and his job was to watch over me. Well the LORD says here in thses passgaes of scripture that he has given His angels charge over us. In this I am just sharing with you what I personally beleive. God sent us his only begotten Son and If we will beleive in him and confess his Lordship in are lives He is there with us at all times. Everything God has pronmised the beleiver in the word is ours but we have to be servents of the Most High. If you think about it God was always with the nation Isreal and he protected them and kept them safe. However when they would forget Him and start follwing the ways of the nations around them they would tie his hands and he would be unable to shield them and protect them because they chose to walk out from under the covering of the LORD. You and I have a covering his name is Jesus the Son Of God. He is there protecting us and shielding us but if we choose to walk out from under that covering we also tie Gods hands in our lives also. Along with this think about these words from 2 Chronicles7:14"If my people,which are called by my name,shall humble themselves,and pray,and seek my face,and turn from there wicked ways;then will I here from heaven,and will forgive their sin,and will heal their land. Notice the promise He will forgive our sins and heal our land. The bottom line is He will be there for us with forgiveness and healing. Praise his Blessed Name!!! May the LORD bless thee and keep thee in his arms of love and peace. From Pastor Ken.

Psalms91:10

Good morning everybody and praise the Lord our God. He is from everlasting to everlasting the great Iam.This verse brings the promise to us of protection and healing."There shall no evil befall thee,niether shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling. Websters definition of the word dwell is:To live in a place;to reside;to hang on with fondness;to continue. Here is Gods promise to you and I if we stay in his will and dwell in the secret place,that place of safety and refuge that no matter whats going on no evil can penetrate that secret place. Listen again to the first verse of this Psalm from the amplified translation."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 WITH STAND]. HERE IS THE PROMISE OF DIVINE PROTECTION THE KEY IS WE HAVE TO GET SETLLED IN OUR HEARTS THAT THIS IS FOR TODAY AND BELONGS TO EVERY BELIEVE!!!! I BELIEVE THE MORE WE SURRENDER OURSELVES OVER TO THE WILL OF GOD THE MORE WE WILL REALIZE THE POWER OF DWELLING IN THAT SECRET PLACE WITH HIM. Now listen to verse ten from the amplified translation:"There shall no evil befall you, nor any plague or calamity come near your tent. I would like to ask you to think about this for a moment. Where is our tent? The answer to me is this body we dwell in it is our tent it is the covering over our spirit man. The word says no evil or calamity will come near your tent. Some ones thinking well if thats true why do people get sick? I can not totally answere that question all I can do is share my personal conviction and that is if we let ourselves be drawn away from the presence of the Lord we open the door for the enemy of our sole to attack us due to the fact we have got out from under the protective covering of the Lord Our God. The bottom line is its up to us where we want to live and how we want to live. If we choose the life of God and follow after that life I beleive we will see the promises of God fulfilled in our lives. You and I have to commit our lives to the Lord and when we do He will be there with healing,protection,and deliverence. May the lord Bless you and keep you safe. From Pastor Ken

Psalms 91:8

Praise the Lord everybody this is the day the Lord has made. WE are living in the time of great expectansy. For the Lord our God is working strong on our behalf. In this verse of Psalm 91 we are given an insight to where we will be when the Lord returns.If we are abiding in the presence of the Almighty he says" Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked.Here is Gods promise that you and I will only be wittness to the reward of the wicked we will be away from the devestation and destruction that is going to be poured out upon the wicked. I like the way the amplified translation of this verse reads:"Only a spectator shall you be [yourself inaccessible in the secret place of the Most High] we will be in that place of protection and peace held in the embrace of the Father God. We will be secure in the presence of God the place where no foe can enter. You and I have the opportunity to walk and dwell in that holy plce of Gods glory right know, but it takes that absolute surrender to God. You and I have to give our will over to the will of God. Just look around you today where is the love for God today in our nation. God has always blessed this nation until we started taking Him out of our lives and the lives of our children. Everybody is trying to find an answer to whats wrong with America. The answer is we need to turn this nation back to God. We need to put Him back in our schools and back in the everyday parts of our lives. We are told we will only be spectators to the reward of the wicked. Why will that be? Here is the answer verse 9" Because thou hast made the Lord, which is my refuge,even the most High,thy habitation. You and I have made our lives one that honors the LORD and because of it we are dwelling in the secret place of His safety net. He reminds us in the is verse that He is our place refuge,and our hiding place.When I meditate upon this verse I think of what Jesus said in John14:23" Jesus answerd and said unto him,If a man love me,he will keep my words:and my Father will love him,and we will come unto him,and make our abode with him. You and I have the Father and the Son living in us through the presence of the Holy Spirit in us. For we have made the LORD our habitation. Jesus was sent to redeem us and bring us into that place of peace and joy in the LORD our God. Have a Blessed and Joyful day in the LORD!!!! From Pastor Ken

Psalms 91:5-7

Praise the Lord what a glorious day this is. For this is the day that the Lord Hath made I will be glad and rejoice in it.As we look at the verse in Psalms 91:5-7'we will discover some powerful truths we must keep an open heart to the WROD of GOD."Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night;nor for the arrow that flieth by day; Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness;nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday. A thousand shall fall at thy side,ten thousand at thy right hand;BUT IT SHALL NOT COME NIGH THEE. In the last post I closed it with the Word of the Lord from 2Timothy 1:7"For God hath not given us the spirit of fear;but of power,and of love,and of a sound mind. Notice the verses in the above Psalms are all about living free from fear. The Lord is letting us know in the Words of the Psalmist that no matter what is going on around us that it can not come nigh us. The biggest reason the enemy of our soul can get to us is becuase he uses fear to try to trap us. What is fear? According to 2Timothy it is a spirit. Howerver he also says that it does not come from God so if the spirit of fear does not come from God then where does it come from? For years now I have prayed Psalms 91 before I ever leave my house, I declare the promises of this great Psalm over all my family and over the body of Christ that I serve I strongly believe in the protective power of the WORD of GOD spoken in these verses.If you and I really meditate upon it we will discover that Jesus is the fulfillment of this Psalm is not Jesus our protector,healer and deliverer. Is not this what this Psalm is all about healing,protection, and deliverence. Just think you and I have the promise that no matter what is around us it can not come nigh those who are living under the protective presence of the Almighty God our Father. For Gods perfect love casteth out all fear where the full presence of God is allowed to dwell He is there and darkness can not reign over light. Jesus is the very light in us and darkness can not reign over the light of Jesus that lives and reigns in us. You and I do not have to give into the fears around us all we have to do is stand on the WORD of GOD and PROCLAIM IT ALLOWED!!!! Start Shouting Your VICTORY IN CHRIST. Declare to the enemy who you are in Christ. Make the Enemy of your Soul Tremple at the Power of Resurrected Christ living in you. ONLY BELIEVE!!!!! May the LORD richly bless your day. From Pastor Ken

Psalms 91:4

Good morning and praise the Lord whos mercys endure forever.Psalms 91:4"He shall cover thee with his feathers,and under his wings shalt thou trust:his truth shall be thy shield and buckler. Here in this verse the Lord declares his protective care for those who belong to him. After He has delivered us from the snare of the fowler He pulls us up into his arms of protection. When we take time to mdeitate on this we can see His love flowing down around us forming a cloud of safety all around us. The Lord is the one who holds us and keeps us. Its the place of peace and safety from the turmoil that trys so hard to engulf us and rob us of peace and joy. When we are under the protective covering of the Lord we can take on the attitude of no fear of the enemy. The next few verses tell us this listen to the word of the Lord. Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night;nor for the arrow that flieth by day;Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness;nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday. Notice where you are when all this is going on you are under the protective embrace of the Lord God.Verse seven A thousand shall fall at thy side,and ten thousand at thy right hand; pay close attention to these next few words of this verse:BUT IT SHALL NOT COME NIGH THEE!!!! Can you see it,it can be all around you but if you are under the protective covering of the Lord it cant come near you. You and I are under the precious blood of Jesus and the glory of his presence. What a place to be!!!The word of God says in 2Timothy 1:7"For God Hath not given us the spirit of fear,but of power,and of love,and of a sound mind. You and I have been given the name of Jesus to stand up against the enemy with. Reread these verse and picture your self under the protective embrace of your loving heavenly Father.May the Lord richly bless your day. From Pastor Ken

Psalms91:3

Good morning and praise the Lord."Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence.Lets look at the word snare it is defined as any thing that traps. In this verse we are given revelation into the fact that God said he would deliver us from the snares of the fowler.We need to realize that the fowler is the enemy of our soul and that is non other than satan. God has promised to make the way for us to keep out of the snares of the fowler. In one way we have that promise is where the word says the steps of a righteous man are ordered of the Lord. If we follow the will of God the Father he has our steps already laid out and he will keep us from the traps or snares the devil will try to set for us. As I think upon this verse I cant help but think about the term noisome pstilence. I have come to believe that these are all the little thoughts of doubt and unbelief that we are tempted with everyday. God says he will deliver us from them. He will do this through our faithfullnes to his Word. The Word is the answer to these attacks it takes the word to defeat the enemy. If we dont know the Word than we wont no the battle course that the Father has given us through the son that will bring the victory. Jesus is the victory in our lives that enables us to over come the world.1 John 5:4" For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world:and this is the victory that overcometh the world, EVEN OUR FAITH. How do we do it by our faith and trust in the Word of God. This psalm is the loaded with protection and deliverence and healing all we have to do is beleive it. I personally beleive that the promises in this Psalm belong to us today because Jesus is the fulfillment of this Psalm He is our protector,our healer,and our deliverer. May the Lord richly bless your day. from Pastor Ken

Psalms91:2

Good morning and praise the Lord who is Almighty and powerful.I would like to continue to share with you on the 91st Psalm.Verse 2: I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge, and my fortress: My God in Him will I put my trust. As we read this verse we need to see several things that we are called to do.
1.We are called to declare that Jesus is Lord in our lives.For I will say of the Lord. We have to make known by our confession that the Lord is my protector.
2.He is my refuge and my fortress: We are to stand up and declare that we have a secret place of refuge and safety. A hiding place where no foe can enter.According to the definition given in websters dictionary a fortress is a fortified place;stronghold:a place of security. You and I have a stronghold a fortified place that is all around us if we are truly giving God the Lord ship of our lives.
3. We must absolutley put all our trust in Him.My God in Him will I put my trust. What is trust?The amplified translation of this second verse will give us a good look at trust.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!!! We have to be people of cnfidence in the love that the Father has for us and have confidence in his written word that is before us. He sent his word to heal and deliver and keep us in the safety of his love and grace. That word became flesh and walked among us and paid the price for our redemption. Jesus is your ark safety and when you and I put our full trust in that promise we will see the mighty hand of God moving in our lives. May the LORDS blessing be on you always. from Pastor Ken.

Psalms 91:1

Good morning and praise the Lord. Iam excited about sharing with you what the Lord has been sharing with me about this great Psalm. May the Lord grant you revelation knowledge in this. Psalm 91:1"He that dwelleth in the secret place of Most high shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. Abiding in His shadow. What does it mean? The shadow of God is His presence, His light, and His glory that He embraces us with. That glorious light that radiates from God to his children. To abide in this enables us to dwell in a place where we are surrounded by the protective covering of God. To dwell comes from the Hebrew word yasab Which means:to sit down, to remain, to settle in, in the sence of taking up a homestead or staking out a claim and resisting all claim jumpers to posses a place and live there in. Notice the part resisting all claim jumpers. In the word of God we are told to submit ourselves unto God resist the devil and he will flee.(James 4:7. Why will he flee? Could it be that when we put up a resistence that the presence of God appears and the devil can not stand the presence of God.This first verse gives us great insight to what can be ours if we commit our lives to the living God and doing all that he asks us to do. I love the amplified translation of this verse listen to it:" He that dwelleth in the secret place of the Most high shall remain stable and fixed under the shadow of the Almighty whose power no foe can with stand. What a promise for you and I a place of protection and safety that no foe can stand up against. I beleive that every beleiver can abide in this place but it will take a life of total surrender to the purpose and will of God for our lives. Living in the abiding presence of God to me is to be embraced by the shielding glory of God the Father walking in that light just as Jesus our high priest did on the earth. Jesus gave us a good picture of abiding in the Fathers presence. Jesus speaks of a vine and a branch where the father is the husbandman. God is the one who protects us and purges the unrighteous nature away from our lives, and then keeps them from our lives by the power of the written word.Jesus is the written word living in you and I producing the glory of the Father in us. Be blessed and walk in the healing glory of God.From Pastor Ken

AMOS 5:4

Well praise the lord. I want to apologize for not posting before this but I have not been able to get into post until today. I dont know what was wrong still tying to figure the computer out.Amos 5:4" For thus saith the Lord unto the house of IsreaL,SEEK YE ME,AND YE SHALL LIVE:look at what God our Father is saying to the house of Isreal about how to have life. He says seek me.I know that it says house of Isreal but what if God is also giving us insight to how to have the abundant life.Here is a question that you and I need to ask ourselves as we look into the mirror. How inportoant is it for me to seek God. Are we ever looking for that deep intimate relationship with god the Father. Webster defines the word seek like this. 1.To search for.
2.To solicit.
3.To have recourse to. Lets just take the first one to search for. What does a person do to search for something they really want. Most will pull out all the stops and go on quest to find what they are looking. They will develope a deep hunger for it and can not rest till they find it. I wonder how many of us have that same hunger for a deep relationship for God.Or do we only hunger for God when we are in trouble when things are going wrong. And then when He gets us out of the trouble how do we continue after Him. In this fast pace we live in today we just barely take time to say good morning to Him. Jesus told us in Matt. 6:33"But seek ye first the Kingdom of God,and his righteuosness;and all these things shall be added unto you.To live is not just getting by. Its about having a peace in the midst of the storms we face, its knowing that no matter what it looks like my God is always there. Listen to these words of Jesus as recorde in the 28th chapter of Matt.28:20"and lo,I am with you alway,even unto the end of the world. Jesus lets us know as we seek after the things of God we can rest assured that he is always with use we are never alone.Here the word of the Lord from Deuteronomy 4:29-30"But if from thence thou shalt seek the Lord thy God,thou shalt find him,if thou seek him with all thy heart and with all thy soul.
"When thou art in tribulation,and all things are come upon thee,even in the latter days,if thou turn to the Lord thy God and shall be obedient unto his voice. WE will not truly know how to be obedient to his voice if we are not willing to seek him with our whole heart and soul. If there ever was a time in the history of man that he needed to truly seek after the will of God it is know. God Bless you all. From Pastor Ken.

1John 4:19

Good morning everybody and praise the Lord. This verse makes the statement that every one of us need to use to evaluate our relationship with The Father. Lets look at the scripture refrence"WE love him, because he first loved us.Because he first loved us.How did he first love us? To understand this we first have to ask ourselves do we understand the heart of Father God. God is our heavenly Father and he loves us. He loved us so much he sent his only begotten Son Jesus to make the way for us to come into the grace and love of the Father. As I was meditating on this verse for the last few days this is the question that came to me? When you think of a father what do you think of? Here are the thoughts that filled my mind and heart. I beleive these came from the Holy spirit for me to share with all of us.
1.)He works to care for his family. To provide for there well being.
2.)He wants the best for his family. He drives himself day and night to see to it that they can have the best he's able to give.
3.)He is so united to the family that when one of them hurts he hurts.
4.)In many cases he is never praised for for the good things he does, only criticized for his mistakes.
5.)However no matter how many times he's rejected by those he loves, he always comes to their aid when they need him.
Now I ask you. Is this not the Love of God our Father for us. He has always been there for us and no matter how many times we reject him and his love he is there waiting for our return. If you have ever read the parable of the prodigle son you will see the love of the Father God reaching out to you in all the above ways. Hes the Father standing on the porch of heaven looking out to see if that wayward son has come to his senses and has headed for home.I wish to chalenge us all to take time to think about how much the Father has given for us to become his children. May the Lord bless this day for you with health and happiness. From Pastor Ken

Living in the Love of God part3

Good morning and praise the Lord. This truly is a gloroious day of the Lord.Be blessed and may the Lord open the window of heaven and pour out His blessing upon you.Lets look at verse 18 of 1 John chapter4" There is no fear in love;but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love. Notice that the word says that there is no fear in love. When you and I make the decision to live in the light of God and walk in the Word of truth and follow the life of Christ the full love of God will manifest in us. In that full love of God there is no fear because we know in whom we belong. Gods peace floods our soul like a river. When you and I confessed our sins to the Lord and asked Jesus to become Lord and Master of our lives we opened the door to that love and when that love came in it casteth out the spirit of fear that dominanted our lives before Christ. Why would God want to get fear out of our lives? the answer is right here in this verse{because fear hath torment]. When fear dominates a persons life they live in torment all the time. The fear torments and creates aggitations in there physical well being. You and I were recreated in the life and image of God at our new birth. This means that our spirit man was delivered from the powers of darkness that once dominated our life. Fear was apart of our lives from the day we were born. And if we were raised in the atmosphere of fear it took control of our lives. But when Jesus came in through the agent of the Holy Spirit that light casteth out the spirit of fear that once dominanted us and held us in darkness. Fear is a real enemy. Listen to this passgae of scripture"For God hath not given us the spirit of fear,but of power,and of love,and of a sound mind.[2Timothy 1:7]Did you catch what the word says God did not give us a spirit of fear.If fear did not come from God then where does it come from? It came from satan. Just look at Adam and Eve before the fall they walked with God talked with God and lived in His presence but one day when God came to the garden to talk with them they hid from Him in fear. What changed they commited high treason and broke covenant with God opening the door to the dominating spirit of fear. And from that point on every man born of women was born with that spirit of fear. But here is the joy Jesus destroyed the power of satan with His victory over sin. And you and I when we were born again was released from that spirit and received the spirit of the Lord that destroyed the power of darkness over our lives. Whom the Son sets free is free indeed. From this day forward remember fear can not contol you if you are a born again child of GOD for the perfect love of God has casted out the spirit of fear. Have a blessed and healthy day in Jesus only beleive the Word and live in the freedom Jesus has provided for us. From Pastor Ken

Living in the Love of God Part 2

Before I start this morning please accept my apology for the type error on the scripture refrence. The scripture references are in chapter four of 1 John.They are 1John 4:16-18 please forgive me for the mistake.Good morning and praise the Lord this is a glourious morning already may the Father open the windows of heaven and pour you out a blessing that there wont be room enough for you to contain it. Lets look at the next verse 1John 4:17"Herein is our love made perfect,that we may have boldness in the day of judgement:because as he is,so are we in this world.As you and I devote our lives to God and become united to Him through our union and communion with Him the love of God is being perfected in us. This love is being brought to its completion in us. So that in the day of judgement we may have confidence as we face our Lord and stand in front of Him. The latter part of this verse really jumped out at me as I was studing these verses:because as he is,so are we in this world. As He is, we are to walk and talk as Jesus did we are to express the truth and love of God as Jesus did. And where are we to do this? We are to do it right here in this world we live in. How did Jesus walk He walked in confidence toward the Father that caused Him to trust the Father to meet his every need. He lived to express the Father love for man. He showed the Fathers love and compassion for fallen man. He came to present healing and deliverence to fallen man and to show him a way back to the Father that loves Him and cares for Him. This is the way you and I are to walk in this world living the sanctified life before fallen man so that they can truly see the redemptive love of God reaching out to them. The sad part of it is in some cases we are not promoting God we are promoting ourselves. Jesus came promoting the will and desire of the Father to all mankind. We need to truly humble ourselves before the Lord. Listen to the word of the Lord from Matt:18:4"Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven. What is Jesus saying to us? Take on the attitude of the little child think for a moment how a little child respondes to us, they trust us,they show us unconditional love,even when in some cases they have been abused by the one they trusted, all that person has to do is ask them to forgive them and they are right there to forgive and get on with life. How many of us can say we have that humble attitude toward our adult relationships? I pray that you and I will truly open up to the true love of God and then begin to show that love to each other.Have a blessed and healthy day in Jesus. From Pastor Ken.

Living in the Love of God

Well praise the Lord everybody and may the blessing of the Lord be upon you.
For the next few days I would like to share some thoughts from 1 John 5:16-18. Lets look at verse 16"And we have known and believed the love God hath to us.God is love, and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God,and God in him. As I was reading this verse the thought started filling my soul. What does it mean to dwell in God. I looked up the word dwell in Websters dictionary and these are the definitions it gave for the word dwell.
1.To live in a place 2.To reside 3.To hang on with fondness. 4.To continue.
Lets think about the one that says:To live in a place. The first thing that came to my mind was the the first verse of Psa91" He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. Think about it you and I dwell in a place with God through His love for us that the enemy can not penetrate.Listen to this first verse of Psa91 from the amplified translation"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]. When you and I chooose to follow after the love of God and purpose in our hearts to live in that love we are in a place that satan can't penetrate due to the redemptive work of Jesus our Lord. You and I have been given the greatest opportunity to live in the presence of God.We can truly let the world that is filled with fear and terror see the peace that floods ones soul when he knows in whom he belongs.God is Love. He loves you and I to the point that he sent his only Son to the earth to show us the way to live and walk in that love everyday.Jesus walked this earth in the power and the love of God and you and I have that same ability if we want to surrender unto the Lord. In the first chapter of the gospel of John in verse 12 it says"But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that beleive on his name: Do you see yourself as a son of the Most High living in the Fathers love and forgiveness. When you dwell in something you become attached to it you put down roots. You and I are supposed to become attached to God our Father and become rooted and grounded in His love. Walk in the love of God live for him.Make your life a precious symbol of Gods grace to you. God bless you and have healthy life in Jesus. From Pastor Ken.

Thank You

Good morning and praise the Lord. I just wanted to take this morning and say thank you to all of you who read this everyday. My prayer is always that God will give me something that will bless us and make us think about where we are in our walk with the Lord. I also want to say again how much I like reading the comments that you leave. I am just a servent of the most high that wants to see all of Gods people come to know the deep truths of God our Father. The Father loves us and wants us to have the best. When you think about it God gave His best to secure our salvation He sent His Son.
I was just reading psalms 35:27"Let them shout for joy,and be glad,that favour my rightouse cause: yea let them say continually,Let the LORD be magnified,which hath pleasure in the prosperity of his servent. Notice it says That God has pleasure in the properity of his servent. God wants you and I to prosper in all that we do. As I was reading this passage the words "LET THEM SAY CONTINUALLY" just kind of leaped out at me how are we to respond we are to be continually saying Let the Lord be magnified, which hath pleasure in the prosperity of his servent. You and I need to be in a continual praise mode. Look at verse 28" And my tongue shall speak of thy rightuoseness and of thy praise all the day long. Think about this when you and I are praising God all the day long satan wont be able to get through the presence of God to steal our joy. Try this today make a decision to praise the Lord all day speaking and singing praise to the Lord and then look back and see how peaceful your day was.Have a blessed and healthy day in Jesus.

Trust Jesus Part 2

Good morning and praise the Lord!!!Just think how wonderful it is to know God the Father through Jesus Christ our Lord.Think how wonderful it is that the Father loved us so much that he gave his only Begotten Son For us and that through Jesus he sent us the Holy Spirit to guide us into the things of God and into the great truths of God. Which brings me to the what I believe God has made away for us to walk free from all distractions that come at us. Lets look at distraction number two.TEMPTATION: MANY OF US CHRISTIAN AND NON CHRISTIAN ARE FACED WITH TEMTATION EVERYDAY.Temtation is real it comes in all sizes and shapes and comes in many forms. What ever made a christians think that they would never be tempted after the gave trheir life to Christ. WE are told in 1Cor.10:13" There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful,who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but with the temptation also make a way to escape,that ye may be able to bear it." What a promise from God we have away out of the temptation it is through our relationship with Jesus the Son Of God. We live in a time when you can not go any where or even turn the TV on with out being faced with a temptation. But praise God we have the power within us to say no. As you have probly seen buy know I like the amplified translation of the bible as I study with the King James I lay the amplified beside it and read both. Listen to this verse from the amplified bible"For no temtation(no trial regarded as enticing to sin),[no matter how it comes or where it leads]has overtaken you and laid hold on you that is not common to man[that is, no temptation or trial has come to you that is beyond human resistance and that is not adjusted and adapted and belonging to human experience, and such as man can bear]. But God is faithful[to His Word and to His compassionate nature],and He[can be trusted]not to let you be tempted and tried and assayed beyond your ability and strength of resistence and power to endure, but with the temptation He will [always] also provide the way out(the means of escape to a landing place),that you may be capable and strong and powerful to bear up under it patiently. I believe we have the power within us to resist those temtations that come at us. We are the ones who have to step up to the plate and say no when those temptations come. Let me ask you this. Is this not what Jesus did at the hour of his baptismn. After John had baptized him in the Jordan was he not taken immediatly by the spirit into the wilderness where he was temted by the devil with all the things we are tempted with. How did Jesus resist? He spoke the word of God against the devil and his temptations you and I must follow the example of Jesus. Read Luke chapter 4:1-14 for youself and see how Jesus resisted temptation and then decide to follow his example and begin to resist by speaking the Word of God against the temptation. Let me leave you with the words from verse fourteen from the amplified translation"Therefore my dearly beloved, shun(keep clear away from, avoid by flight if need be)any sort of idolatry(of loving or venerating anything more than God). Have a blessed and healthy day in Jesus Our Lord. Open your heart to Jesus and let him become the joy and power in your life. From Pastor Ken

Trust Jesus

Good morning and praise the Lord everybody. This is going to be a great day in Jesus. I was reading Matt:11:28"Come unto Me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden,and I will give you rest. Rest what a beatiuful word how many of us have ever said oh if could just get a good nights rest. What keeps us from the peace or rest we seek for? Its the lack of devotion to the one who will give us the peace that surpasses all understanding. In these troubled times people are looking for answers to the situations that are coming at us all everyday. Notice Jesus said for us to come unto Him. He is are answer to the troubles that we face if you and I will truly give Him the Lordship of our lives He will be there with us. What are some of distresses we face that creates the unrest in our lives.
1)Poverty: All around us we se the destruction that poverty brings on peoples lives. Many are fearing this due to the lose of jobs. However there is a peace that can come to you and I even in the mist of poverty.And that comes from the word of God"But my God shall supply all your need according to his richs in glory by Christ Jesus. When I think of poverty I think of not just physical poverty but spiritual poverty. Many people walk around in spiritual poverty they have never taken time to get truly aqainted with the one who will meet there need. When God sent his only begotten son Jesus into the world it was for us to come to know the Father God and His love for us. John 3:16 says for God so loved the world that He gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. God the Father gave Jesus so that you and I could know the freedom from all the torment that comes to the world. Notice the word whosoever that means exactly what it says whosoever you are you have the opportunity to have eternal life all you have to do is believe in the Son of God accept him as your personal saviour. When one truly can place their trust in Jesus he will find a peace that surpasses all understanding even in the midst of great turmoil. Jesus is the answer to all our problems if we will open up our hearts to Him. Many years ago when I first started out in ministry a dear women of God gave me this passgae of scripture and said no matter how hard it gets remember these words:"I can do all things through Christ which strengthen me. I have faced many times of difficulty in my life but these words have always encouraged me to never give up. Have a blessed and healthy day in Jesus. From Pastor Ken
