Today’s word-New John 1:5, :18//Zechariah 10//Philippians 4 Today’s word-Street version Proverbs 1

Thought for today

In JOHN 1:5 we read, and the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not. This, my family, is a picture of someone not receiving the love of God and what light or revelation makes available for all. This verse makes it abundantly clear that our willingness to practice the love of God found in us must come from a place of personal revelation of its need, not with preconceived ideas of how it is to be received. Let me say it this way, you can’t force the love of God or help people receive it, it must simply be released from the heart. Just like our personal “suddenly” caught us in a position of receptivity, so it happens for all. Unfortunately, we see in this verse that those bound by darkness will not comprehend the light they’re exposed to. Consequently our part is to practice love by believing for their “suddenly” opportunity by praying Ephesians 1:18, 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. This is practicing love behind the scenes; believing the light will come on because again, you can’t force that in anyone’s life and the Father definitely won’t.

beginning today say this:

Great love happens when no one is watching.

Today’s word-New King James Version Ezekiel 28:15 //Acts 26//2 Corinthians 9 Today’s word-Street version Proverbs 1

Thought for today

I don’t normally start a PFS with definitions but this one is going to be a bit different. I want to begin with the word cancel which means neutralize, negate, nullify, abandon, scrap, scratch or nix. This is actually a very demeaning concept especially when we’re speaking of people. We live in a time where people are being demeaned, degraded and canceled, if you will, for whatever reason whether right or wrong. On the other hand we see the word inclusion which means to include or add to a structure; to introduce or involve in one’s plan or group. What makes this interesting is these two ideologies reveal the character and nature of the two ruling spirits in the universe. God, El Shaddi, the creator of the universe and Lucifer, the anointed cherub who revealed his iniquity by thinking he could cancel God and replace Him as the most high. Honestly, we shouldn’t have to go much further to realize he was the original moron. EZEKIEL 28:15 says, Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee. Isn’t it funny, the canceler himself was the first one canceled?

beginning today say this:

Those who cancel will be canceled.

REVIEW GUIDE

1. Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till ______was found in thee.

2. ...to open their eyes, in order to turn them from ______to light, and from the power of Satan to God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins and an inheritance among those who are sanctified by ______in Me. (...to open their eyes!! At some point we were all blinded; don’t judge others...give them the truth of that removes the blinders.)

3. Now may He who supplies seed to the ______, and bread for food, supply and multiply the seed you have sown and increase the fruits of your ______. (He can’t provide seed to the “thinking about sowing sower”!! Be a sower and you will have seed!!) September 2, 2020

Today’s word-New King James Version Ezekiel 28:15//Acts 27//2 Corinthians 10 Today’s word-Street version Proverbs 2

Thought for today

Honestly, Satan has the distinct honor of setting the standard for both deception and stupidity as well as pride and rebellion. Within this angelic being was the twisted idea that he could become what his creator was. As stupid as it sounds, his entire fall was tied to that twisted idea and we aren’t above believing the same idea. We aren’t capable of replacing God and never will be, but that’s a lesson for another day. Let me say this very briefly about angels. They have the ability to make choices but not the authority. Angels were not created in the image of God as we were, but one-third of them chose to go with Lucifer, when he was CANCELED! I’m sure this specific subject goes deeper than I’ve personally researched, but the bottom line is whosoever cancels others will be canceled. In Satan’s lunacy he was delusional enough to think that he was in the same league with his creator. Don’t laugh; when we endeavor to argue or challenge what the Word says we are doing the very same thing. What I want us to see this month is this; if we aren’t wise we will find ourselves doing the same thing as our arch enemy: dishonoring God.

beginning today say this:

Those who practice deception will be the most deceived.

REVIEW GUIDE

1. Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was ______in thee.

2. Therefore I urge you to take ______, for this is for your survival, since not a hair will fall from the ______of any of you. (God is such a good God!! When you honor His Word there is supernatural protection.)

3. For we dare not class ______or compare ourselves with those who commend themselves. But they, measuring ______by themselves, and comparing themselves among themselves, are not wise. (It is never wise to compare yourself to others. Look unto JESUS instead!!!) September 3, 2020

Today’s word-New King James Version Ezekiel 28:13-15//Acts 28//2 Corinthians 11 Today’s word-Street version Proverbs 3 Thought for today

I am encouraging you to read EZEKIEL 28:11-19. This was clearly a word from the prophet Ezekiel and quite clearly from the Lord concerning Satan. In verses 13-15 we read, 13 Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone was thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created. 14 Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire. 15 Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee. Here we see a description of Satan by the Spirit of God, revealing his beauty as well as his assignment as worship leader. But isn’t it interesting that even this position of honor was not enough? Honestly, that trait has been passed down from generation to generation; where people begin to see themselves on the same level as their creator. Don’t be silly; it didn’t work for Satan and it won’t work for us. beginning today say this:

Don’t be deceived; you’ll never be God. REVIEW GUIDE

1. Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone was thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created. Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire. Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till ______was found in thee.

Today’s word-New King James Version Proverbs 16:18//Matthew 1//2 Corinthians 12 Today’s word-Street version Proverbs 4

Thought for today

What do you suppose happened to Lucifer between the time he was described as “perfect in all his ways” and iniquity being found in him? Here’s my take! As I said the other day, angelic beings have the ability to choose but not the authority to choose. As free moral agents created exactly in God’s image, as speaking spirits, you and I were given the ability to choose as well as the authority to choose. In Satan’s rebellion we see a characteristic embraced by humans called pride. PROVERBS 16:18 says, Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall. Pride is the father of deception, which births lying, hatred, insecurity, arrogance, greed, prejudice, immorality, and on and on and on and on ending with CANCELING. You see family, Satan is a hater; he’s a user and abuser who uses and abuses until he’s through with an individual and then cancels them at which point they normally self-destruct having embraced all his lies and deception and become in their own minds, self-sufficient! I know that sounds far-fetched, but this thing called deception will take one who refuses to resist pride to a place called the tail and not the head. beginning today say this:

Pride takes you from heaven to hell, ask Satan!

1. ______goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.

Today’s word-New King James Version Ezekiel 28:16-19//Matthew 2//2 Corinthians 13 Today s word-Street version Proverbs ’5 Thought for today

Let’s go back to the book of EZEKIEL 28 and look at verses 16-19 By the multitude of thy merchandise they have filled the midst of thee with violence, and thou hast sinned: therefore I will cast thee as profane out of the mountain of God: and I will destroy thee, O covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire. 17 Thine heart was lifted up because of thy beauty, thou hast corrupted thy wisdom by reason of thy brightness: I will cast thee to the ground, I will lay thee before kings, that they may behold thee. 18 Thou hast defiled thy sanctuaries by the multitude of thine iniquities, by the iniquity of thy traffick; therefore will I bring forth a fire from the midst of thee, it shall devour thee, and I will bring thee to ashes upon the earth in the sight of all them that behold thee. 19 All they that know thee among the people shall be astonished at thee: thou shalt be a terror, and never shalt thou be any more. In verse 16 the Spirit of God makes it clear Satan would be removed forever from his place of influence in heaven because of his arrogance and pride. beginning today say this:

When our value is in Him, we will stay humble and holy. REVIEW GUIDE

1. By the multitude of thy merchandise they have filled the midst of thee with violence, and thou hast ______: therefore I will cast thee as profane out of the mountain of God: and I will destroy thee, O covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire. Thine heart was lifted up because of thy beauty, thou hast corrupted thy wisdom by reason of thy brightness: I will cast thee to the ground, I will lay thee before kings, that they may behold thee. Thou hast defiled thy sanctuaries by the multitude of thine iniquities, by the iniquity of thy traffick; therefore will I bring forth a fire from the midst of thee, it shall devour thee, and I will bring thee to ashes upon the earth in the sight of all them that behold thee. All they that know thee among the people shall be astonished at thee: thou shalt be a terror, and never shalt thou be any more.

Today’s word-New King James Version Ezekiel 28:17//Matthew 3//Galatians 1 Today’s word-Street version Proverbs 6 Thought for today

In verse 17 we see one of the greatest statements in the Word concerning Satan’s issues. Number one, we see that the heart of an individual is always the root of the problem. Yes, our mind contributes, but it is from the heart that a man’s life and actions begin being evident. Isn’t that something; his heart was lifted up because of his beauty? In today’s world there is such an emphasis placed on appearance and the moment it becomes your go-to or what you count on, someone or something comes along that’s more attractive, current, or beautiful, look out; you’re fixing to getcanceled . Pay attention now, this is a personal issue. When we stay humble we realize what’s important as well as what lasts. The Spirit of God told Lucifer because you have perverted and twisted the wisdom you’ve been given and relied on your brilliance and splendor rather than the position I HAVE GIVEN YOU, you’ll find yourself laying at the feet of those you have deceived into thinking you could rival MY splendor and wisdom. You will be scorned and laughed at by those who are delivered from your deceptive clutches and be seen as you truly are. Which side of this story do you want to find yourself? Rolling around in defeat like Lucifer or standing on his head with the victory because you refuse to believe his lies and live for what truly matters? beginning today say this:

Those who endeavor to cancel the plan of God will be CANCELED.

Today’s word-New King James Version Ezekiel 28:18//Matthew 4//Galatians 2 Today’s word-Street version Proverbs 7

Thought for today

I believe verse 18 is absolutely filled with revelation for the time we are living in. Number one, the enemy has men and women of God in his deceptive clutches who are turning the sanctuaries or houses of worship into places of carnality as it pertains to the messages that are heard. A gospel of what’s in it for me has replaced the gospel of what I can do for my Father and the people around me. Trafficking (using something that seems harmless on the surface to carry something evil) people, merchandise and lies are the calling card of Satan and these tactics are alive and well in the world as well as the Church. The Spirit of God said this was due to the iniquity of thy traffic or the unjust and unrighteous way you handled your assignment. I think of the trafficking of children and young women for the use of perverted ungodly people and how God’s plan for them to be raised in His admonition and wisdom has been perverted by twisted men and women in the world as well as the Church. You heard me right, there are many in the Church who are presently using it as cover for their twisted sinful desires to spread their ungodly merchandise. No, I’m not mad, I just want us to realize our enemy is still on the prowl! beginning today say this:

I will not allow the trafficking of sin deceive me.

Today’s word-New King James Version Ezekiel 28:11-12//Matthew 5//Galatians 3 Today’s word-Street version Proverbs 8

Thought for today

These verses that began in EZEKIEL 28:11-12 were directed at the king of Tyrus. In the verses we’ve covered it’s clear that Satan is the object of the discussion and consequently gives us a picture of what pride, arrogance, and rebellion look like in the lives of those who’ve embraced the nature of the liar, Satan. Listen, I may say this again, but I want you to be sure you understand, the enemy has no compassion or concern for anyone, whether they have embraced the Lord Jesus as their Saviour or not. He is the epitome of everything that is unrighteous and is so filled with himself that he doesn’t recognize his soon coming fate. He is so self-deceived that he has no way of ever changing. This my friends, looks like his followers that we are dealing with today. Now please understand, he has no concern for them whatsoever, but we must not take that same posture. As God’s ambassadors in this present day foreign land, at the very least we are called to pray for those who have not yet received the Lord Jesus. Yes, this is not the natural thing we want to do but it is our mandate from the Father. Yes, we occupy, we’re about His business, but we realize how we do business can assist those without Him to join us in our assignment. beginning today say this:

My job is to pray, not judge!

Today’s word-New King James Version Luke 10:17-18//Matthew 6//Galatians 4 Today’s word-Street version Proverbs 9

Thought for today

I believe this is a good day to discuss Satan’s ejection from heaven as described by the Lord Jesus. We find the account inLUKE 10:17-18 as He was talking to some of His disciples concerning an assignment they had been on. 17 And the seventy returned again with joy, saying, Lord, even the devils are subject unto us through thy name. 18 And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven. These disciples returned after having great success using the name of Jesus to heal and deliver people and were obviously excited. Now remember, these men were not born again, but had been given their instructions from the Master, concerning the authority to use HIS NAME. Then in verse 18 He painted a real picture to them concerning what He saw happen to the head of the devils. That’s right, He said “I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven”. You know, I’m not even sure that registered with them, but it sure must with us if we expect to take advantage of His name ourselves. The thing is, Jesus was very familiar with Satan because He was there when he was created and he was there when he fell. beginning today say this:

I will not be surprised when the name of Jesus WORKS!

Today’s word-New King James Version Luke 10:19//Matthew 7//Galatians 5 Today’s word-Street version Proverbs 10

Thought for today

Moving into LUKE 10:19 we find one of my very favorite verses, lol, which I use frequently to help us understand our position as it pertains to the enemy. Jesus said in the verse, 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. It’s absolutely imperative that this verse become real to you in every way. In this one verse Jesus told us that we could expose, trample, and treat with disrespect all the deception and distractions the enemy could throw at us, and there would be nothing he could do to harm us. I don’t know about you but that’s one of the most powerful and comforting single verses in the entire Word of God. In this one statement by Jesus we are assured of the ability to recognize, deal with and be impervious to any of the perverted attacks of the enemy. The thing about the enemy is he is “all in” as it pertains to focus on this earth. You certainly know he is in no way going to let up on his quest to steal, kill, and destroy as long as he’s this side of hell! But as we’ve seen in this verse we have all we need to keep him in his place, UNDER OUR FEET! beginning today say this:

I have all I need to win everyday!

Today’s word-New King James Version Luke 10:20//Matthew 8// Today’s word-Street version Proverbs 11

Thought for today

I believe we need to go ahead and look at verse 20 in this same chapter. 20 Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven. Notwithstanding would be more recognizable as nevertheless. This verse is also huge because it brings us back to the main thing and that’s the number one goal which is for people to be born again. Honestly, I believe this is a Gospel-must in order for an individual’s heart and mind to stay with the heart of the Father. Without the focus on the lost everything we do as believers can become skewed. It’s so easy to begin to focus on the promises of God instead of finding the Father’s priority for all things. Yes, for many years the Word has not been seen in light of God’s will for His kids as it pertains to health, prosperity, peace, and all the promises that affect us personally, but we must keep the main thing the main thing. Yes absolutely, Jesus came to destroy all the works of the enemy, but we must remember that none being lost was the first thing on His heart. Jesus made it clear in today’s verse, there is nothing more important than your name being in the Lamb’s book. beginning today say this:

Everything is important AFTER people are born again; that’s the priority.

Today’s word-New King James Version John 3:16//Matthew 9//Ephesians 1 Today’s word-Street version Proverbs 12

Thought for today

In today’s world we see the exact opposite of God’s plan for man. His desire was for there to be a way for all mankind to be included, not excluded from His plan. His plan was to create a culture of inclusion. This was to be a plan which would exclude no one who heard, believed, and received His plan. 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. In this one almost universally known verse lies the heart beat of the Father. The whole Trinity was in on the plan; Jesus did it and the Holy Spirit introduces what was done to a new believer. This world-loving God was not going to cancel anyone for any reason because of the opportunity this verse afforded them. Honestly, His love for mankind is not at question, it’s mankind’s willingness to believe, receive and walk in obedience to His directions. This new Inclusion Culture flies in the face of everything the enemy has been doing since the Garden of Eden to rob mankind of provision by deceiving through division. beginning today say this:

I know God’s plan is the polar opposite of the enemy’s.

1. For ______so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

Thought for today

I want to go back to yesterday’s verse and take a look at one word that’s of the utmost importance! It’s the word PERISH. Perish is defined as to lose, to be put out of the way,to abolish, to kill, to render useless. I guess we could say to CANCEL. You see, the Father had a plan so the enemy could in no way, shape, or form CANCEL any one who would simply see his/ her need and then bow to the Father in the name of Jesus. Because of God’s great love and Jesus’ great love we have an opportunity to promote the only one and the only way mankind can be delivered from temporary or eternal cancellation. The enemy hates the Word of God and knows he has no weapon that can defeat it if he can keep you and I deceived into not knowing our authority, power, and number one assignment. The so-called cancel culture is demeaning, degrading, and designed to cripple the soul of mankind and discourage the only ones who can do anything about it: THE CHURCH! Just think, we have the opportunity to be the ones who promote the only one who can prepare people for heaven, Jesus, the Son of God! beginning today say this:

Everyone under the sound of my voice will know they are included!

Today’s word-New King James Version John 8:44//Matthew 11// Today’s word-Street version Proverbs 14

Thought for today

Maybe many of you realize this but in the event you don’t, I want you to realize that the enemy is no respecter of persons just like God isn’t. This is one area where he sees things the same as God does. Oh, not because either of them agree with one another but the enemy because he hates the world as much as God loves the world. Nothing in the character of the devil has a positive, with the exception of his persistence and his off the chart idiocy. Jesus was speaking to the Jews on one occasion in JOHN 8:44 saying, 44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it. I want to focus on the fact there is no truth in him and he’s a murderer and liar. Listen, in this one verse we see that the enemy is not the least bit stable. He is unfixable because hecancelled himself and consequently wants to do the same to all he can. But again, he is probably much more random than he’s been given credit for because I believe his best and only asset is the mouth of unbelievers and unbelieving believers.

beginning today say this:

I won’t use my mouth to let the enemy try to cancel me.

Thought for today

You need to be aware of the fact that the enemy cannot dominate you unless you buy into his lies. In the world today if someone wants to discredit someone else, but has no dirt on them, they simply fabricate a story to take them down or cancel them. This act of the enemy, who happens to be the original accuser, is just now being used in the world around us. No, not the accuser, but rather the act of accusing. In GENESIS 3:1 the serpent, Satan said, Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden? This verse reveals two of the enemy’s constant characteristics, his subtlety or deceptive nature and his habit of accusing or challenging what others say or do. What did he say to Eve? HATH GOD SAID? This is one of the first things he will say in the ear of a believer when they need to be confident about what God said. The enemy is the original canceller and has many followers in the earth. Don’t become his mouthpiece, but rather one who promotes freedom and inclusion for all who believe. beginning today say this:

I believe what God said, PERIOD!

Thought for today

Let’s look at another verse that reveals Satan as the author of the cancel culture as well as the woke culture. In REVELATION 12:10 we read, And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night. Now be sure you understand that the enemy doesn’t have a private audience with the Father when he’s making his accusations. No, when he fell like lightning from heaven that was the last time the Father had anything to do with the devil until He was in Christ Jesus defeating him and taking from him the power to overcome His children. The enemy has no leverage in heaven because he has been canceled forever and will one day soon be removed forever. It’s time you realize if anyone is lying, distorting, or endeavoring to belittle or demean anyone, they are operating in the light of their father the devil. We must each fight off the tendency to become involved with people and things we have no right to talk about or deal with. You and I have a gospel to preach that includes not cancels all who will believe and act on God’s Word.

Listen, this entire culture that’s risen is all about mind control. The loudest voice in your ear is going to do all it can to reprogram you to its way of thinking, believing, and doing. This my family, is exactly why our focus at chooselife is THE WORD! Even though that’s exactly what the enemy is after, he is in no way capable of winning when we hear it, receive it, and do it. The only defense against a world gone crazy is the ever-living Word of God! When it becomes your go-to and stay- with the enemy and all his assistants don’t stand a chance. As a matter of fact your strength in and through Him will equip you to rip people away from the lies the enemy perpetrates on his followers. We have the authority to do this, not only from The Great Commission but from what transpired when the Lord Jesus went to hell on our behalf. 2 CORINTHIANS 5:19 says, To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation. In this verse we have the authority we’ve been given to refute any level of cancelation and reveal God’s plan for inclusion. beginning today say this:

Thought for today

The apostle Paul made it clear that success in life is determined on the battleground of the mind. Not that the mind is greater than your recreated spirit, but it can undermine what you’ve become and have available, if not dealt with. Let me start this with your new found state of righteousness. 2 CORINTHIANS 5:21 says, For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him. For God put our sin on Jesus, even though He’d never sinned, so we could become His, God’s righteousness, through that sacrifice. Now listen carefully or attentively; you being made righteous was a spiritual transaction. This could not have been achieved naturally or in the flesh; it had to be a spiritual transaction the Father planned on your behalf. This is my point; if it couldn’t happen in the flesh it can’t be lost due to the flesh. This is so important because at the very least, the quality of your life in this life is at stake if you aren’t absolutely sure about your salvation experience. Honestly, I don’t believe there is any greater revelation necessary for each of us other than knowing we are IN HIM and will remain IN HIM because of this SPIRITUAL TRANSACTION. beginning today say this:

I’m new in Him, but my mind needs work.

Thought for today

Please reread yesterday’s PFS until you know in your heart that your eternity is completely dependent upon what Jesus did for you, not what you do from that point forward. That verse didn’t say we could, might, or should be made righteous, but that WE WERE if we sincerely believed. The truth is, the born-again revelation is the place where your life in this life becomes abundant or average. A revelation, first of all of your need for Jesus’ sacrifice is vital. Second, the revelation of your inability to do anything to aid this process is a must. Thirdly, acknowledging daily that your life, ability and fulfillment will be found IN HIM is something you can’t do without. This requires you exercise your will over the thoughts that will try and keep you in charge of you! ACTS 17:28 says, For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring. The Father is now your daddy and Jesus is now your Savior and Lord. You have to see yourself as they see you and treat you. 2 CORINTHIANS 5:17 says, Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.

ACTS 17:28 says, We are his offspring. Therefore it is imperative that we see ourselves accepted by Him and ready for the life He has designed for us. This takes an on-purpose, conscious decision, just like the one you made when you received Him, in order to reprogram and renew your mind to His plan and purpose. I mean honestly, He sees the old you as dead. What you were means nothing because everything you were was swallowed up when you were made His righteousness through Jesus. Please understand everything the world is doing and saying is designed to cause you to relax your focus and purpose and begin to question the need for diligence and discipline as it pertains to the Word. The bottom line on what we’re experiencing is the enemy trying to cancel like never before. He has amassed an army of agnostics, atheists, intellectual Christians, legends in their own mind, as well as the ignorant lost who are just following what they believe will accept them and help them when in fact the enemy has something completely opposite planned: mass destruction.

Today’s word-New King James Version 2 Corinthians 5:17//Matthew 18//Philippians 4 Today’s word-Street version Proverbs 21 Thought for today

Last month as PG was teaching the youth interns along the lines of righteousness something came alive in me like never before. I’ve made this statement for years but it’s worth repeating. Since we’re saved by grace and not works, we won’t maintain our salvation by works, but God’s grace. Here’s why I’m going there. I believe the new creation reality, the new in Him reality is the difference between success and mediocrity in this life. Again, 2 CORINTHIANS 5:17 says, if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature. So if He sees us as new, and He does, then it’s imperative we see ourselves the same. Honestly, this bizarre cancel culture has been going on since the fall of Adam and Eve, it just hasn’t been as obvious. Years ago we saw it disguised as political correctness which was part of the enemy’s plan to cancel the will of man to even exist. The murders, suicides, abortions, greed and power plays are the result of a world and Church that’s allowed itself to buy into the liars’ plan to cancel the work of the cross. In the name of Jesus we will not bow to a pretend faith or a weak witness when it comes to knowing and promoting this new life in Him. beginning today say this:

Thought for today

I need to finish where I was going yesterday when I brought up what PG was teaching about righteousness. So we saw a few days ago that what becomes born again and brand new is our spirit. Pay attention now, you are right spiritually, you have been justified spiritually. Your soul and body are not right; only your spirit man was born again. Here’s what I’m getting at. We must recognize that as we continue to navigate this life our soul is going to need forgiveness for the things we do that dishonor the Word or the author of the Word. This has NOTHING to do with our recreated spirit, but our soulish man and its need to be renewed and disciplined. The apostle John gave us the revelation he received by the Holy Spirit so we would know what it took to continue in the growth process without canceling ourselves due to ungodly behavior. 1 JOHN 1:9 says, If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. We will cover this some more tomorrow but listen carefully, this is not the righteousness you are made in Christ Jesus but living right according to His kingdom plan. beginning today say this:

Just because I’m right IN HIM doesn’t make all my actions right.

Ok, let me explain some things I said yesterday. First of all, this opportunity to acknowledge and be free from our mistakes, or sin for that matter, is not a get away with sin or license to sin card. Through Jesus, God not only freed us from spiritual death, but in that same act freed us from the power of sin. Listen, when we get this right no one can cancel us including ourselves. Look here at 1 JOHN 3:8-9, [But] he who commits sin [who practices evildoing] is of the devil [takes his character from the evil one], for the devil has sinned (violated the divine law) from the beginning. The reason the Son of God was made manifest (visible) was to undo (destroy, loosen, and dissolve) the works the devil [has done]. 9 No one born (begotten) of God [deliberately, knowingly, and [habitually] practices sin, for God’s nature abides in him [His principle of life, the divine sperm, remains permanently within him]; and he cannot practice sinning because he is born (begotten) of God.

In verse 8 we read that whoever commits sin is of the devil. Well my goodness that’s not very encouraging is it? The fact is, I feel reasonably sure that no one who’s been born again has been without sin the rest of their lives! I’m just saying that would be something! I believe the end of the verse makes it very clear that in our redemption is a place where the wages of sin were paid for and we had a way of escape anytime we find ourselves missing the mark. Verse 9 is absolutely over the top in its explanation of one who continues to sin without concern. It says again, 9 No one born (begotten) of God [deliberately, knowingly, and habitually] practices sin, for God’s nature abides in him [His principle of life, the divine sperm, remains permanently within him]; and he cannot practice sinning because he is born (begotten) of God. I’ll tell you, we just need to read this verse over and over again. In the Amplified Classic we see very clearly that being made a brand new creature triggers a brand new way of living, made possible by the incorruptible seed of the Word to empower us to CHANGE. A new creation continues to resist sin and walk in the righteousness they’ve been made!

A great verse to help us with the righteousness issue is found in MATTHEW 6:33 AMPC that says, But seek (aim at and strive after) first of all His kingdom and His righteousness (His way of doing and being right), and then all these things taken together will be given you besides. This verse breaks down very plainly that the righteousness we can grow in has to do with our behavior and willingness to do things according to God’s plan. In order for us to not get taken out of the race by the lies of the enemy and the demise of the culture around us we must know who we are and why, understand what we have and how to use it, as well as see the world around us as our harvest field. During this season where the world is turning on itself we must be ready with the answers they need when they ask. Yes there will be many, many people you never expected to hear from or have a chance to talk with but the time is now where those who were once hateful and indignant are going to become desperate for answers. This doesn’t even include those who are now living in fear because of the pressure from the world’s lies and deception.

Thought for today

Not only is the hatefulness of the cancel culture creating pressure on people from every walk of life there is also an attempt to erase all that was considered evil or unfair in the past, to include men and women who took advantage of others. This is done in order to expose and remove anyone, or anything that created what they classify as social-injustice. There is but one main reason this level of darkness is over the earth and it’s called the light of the gospel. That’s right, we read in 2 CORINTHIANS 4:4, In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them. The only thing the enemy has going for him is deception and there are a lot of receptive people who fall in line. As long as sin is present in the earth there will be social injustice, economic injustice, racial injustice and anything else that can experience injustice, because that’s just the way it is. When spiritual blindness covers the masses then what is happening will happen. The Word has made it clear that those whose eyes have been blinded and hearts have been hardened will never see the light of the gospel. More to come tomorrow.... beginning today say this:

So again, our verse from yesterday said, In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them. In case you don’t realize it, Satan is the little g, god of this world, or this world’s system. He was given authority over the system because Adam and Eve relinquished it through their disobedience. When they fell for the deception of the devil they put mankind into the hands of the liar himself, Satan. Honestly, there is no cure for his deception but having one’s eyes opened and heart enlightened supernaturally to the Word of God. This greatest of all miracles is the only cure for any level of idiocy, of which we are in the very midst of a high level, for sure. This shows very clearly how prideful man is so susceptible to the lies of the enemy. His pride convinces him he’s right, but in fact he’s a moron. I’m reminded of PROVERBS 16:25, There is a way that seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death. HEY, you and I were once there, do you remember?

Isn’t it interesting that pride is so dangerous its definition brings death. Pride defined in the Word of God is arrogance, self-exaltation, to lift oneself up. In PROVERBS 16:18 we read, Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall. I believe it’s virtually impossible to analyze or comprehend this level of darkness after one has been delivered. Now, that doesn’t mean we have become impervious to deception but the further away we get from who we were the more light we have to rely on. Those making the most noise today in our world are people in the world. Many of them have platforms that can influence many people, but my prayer is that we’ve become super selective to the voices we allow our ears to be exposed to. And listen, this includes the voices of the men and women of God who are not adamant about our responsibility to the Word and not the world. This is huge because if you’ve advanced in your walk of faith only to see many who trained you up, go in the other direction it can be devastating. These are the times when you have to decide if you are going to go with the Word and its never- changing character or if you are going to allow what you believe to be stolen. Don’t do it!

Have we ever discussed the fact that we, that is you and I, are our first responsibility? It’s important we realize we have not been given charge of anyone else as it pertains to how they live or act, with the exception of our children as we train them. Really, if we would take care of ourselves I believe we would be much more effective with those around us the Father wants us to help. This requires being sure of your footing before you walk with others. NUMBERS 32:23 says, But if ye will not do so, behold, ye have sinned against the LORD: and be sure your sin will find you out. Sin on any level is a sin first and foremost against the Lord. This makes it clear we should first of all be living for Him and to please Him. The closer we walk with Him and the more we allow Him to correct us and direct us by the Holy Spirit and the Word the less frequently we’ll be doing things that displease Him. This should be our heart and mentality every moment of everyday. This keeps us in a position of understanding the grace and mercy of God as well as simultaneously equipping us to minister or help those we’re honored to help.

I am quite sure that like political correctness, cancel culture, and the “woke folk” will not be the end of what we see in the future. All these groups are simply a manifestation of the last days and the depth of darkness and deception that has gripped the earth. The only cure of course, is the glorious light of the gospel. This will become increasingly more obvious as more and more people fall into a level of desperation and depression exceeding all previous generations. You and I must demand of ourselves that we live at a level of peace only available through our relationship with the Father and the Prince of peace Himself. ISAIAH 26:3 says, Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee. And in ISAIAH 9:6 we read, For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. From these two verses as well as several others we see our opportunity to stay focused on the one that matters and the One who will direct the rest of our lives, one day at a time. beginning today say this:
