Refuge



Psa 9:9
The LORD also will be a refuge for the
oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble.

The Apostle Paul was believed to have written the epistles:
Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians, and Philemon from
prison walls.

John was locked up on the island of Patmos when he wrote
the book of Revelations. He even went on to say in
Rev 1:10
I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and heard
behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet,
His body was in the prison but his spirit was with the Lord.
When you enter in the spirit realm, your mind escapes the
tangible realm whereby natural things may exist but you don’t
have to be subject to them.
Hbr 11:3
Through faith we understand that the worlds
were framed by the word of God, so that things
which are seen were not made of things which
do appear.
You may be going through some struggles and issues right now
but I pray that your faith does not fail. There is someone right now
that is contemplating giving up on their faith in God and I say to you
my friend hold fast. God has not forgotten about you. You may not have
a job but God has not forgot about you. You may not have finish school
yet but God has not forgotten about you. You may not t be married yet
but God….

Allow Jesus blood to flow into the places where you have been wounded
And hurt. There some of you that have perhaps done some things that
you are struggling to live down and every time you try to forget about it,
your mind keeps bringing it back up again. It is not worth it.
Forgive yourselves and learn from your mistakes and go in peace.

I just pray that God continues to keep you, edify you, comfort and
encourage you during this season. As you continue to walk with God during
these hard times, savor everything that he is teaching you. There is
a future for you. There are assignments for you. There is a purpose
for you to go out and ultimately spread the love of Christ because
for every situation you are going through there is always someone who is
going through worse than you. Through it all God is faithful.

Love You All

Forgiving You Forgiving Me


Mat 6:14
For if ye forgive men their trespasses,
your heavenly Father will also forgive you:

Forgiveness can be used as a vehicle
to launch you to the next level of grace.
Forgiveness is a key that can free you
from your past. If we harbor unforgiveness
long enough it will turn into bitterness.
Bitterness will then begin to eat away at
you by draining you mentally and physically.

Unforgiveness is a sin that will blind you
in your walk with God whereby it hinders
you from being effective. Unforgiveness
serves as a weight that “believers” were
never meant to bare.

One of the things I leaned the hard way is
that whenever I harbor unforgiveness, what
I am really saying is, “God I don’t trust
you to deal this person therefore I have to
take matters in my own hands”.

Instead we should look at the offense as
God’s sees it and say, “even though it hurt
me, I will forgive in spite of as
God has forgiven me over 2000 years ago.
I understand that this is a process but in
order to maintain the victory we must
apply it in our everyday lives and work at it.

No worries No worries

On a quick note, there are some of you
that have gotten discouraged
In this season I just wanted to encourage you and say:
(I am really not talking about sin,
I am referring to life.)
Be careful not to base your progress on
the timing of men But rather the timing
of God. You may feel like you should be
further than where you are now but the
truth of the matter is you are getting
closer than you think and as you stay with
God you will see that you were winning all
along. When Mary was pregnant with Jesus
she endured some hard times but the miracle
that she she birthed dimmed in comparison
to the journey she endured.
Just know that you are carrying a miracle
inside of you and before It seems like all
hope is lost God will lift you up out of a
pile of ashes treating you as princes and
princesses seating in the seats of honor.

Live Life Abundantly

Suggested Reading:

Luk 20:38
For he is not a God of the dead, but of the living:
for all live unto him.

Jhn 6:51
I am the living bread which came down from heaven:
if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever:
and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will
give for the life of the world.

1Cr 2:5
That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men,
but in the power of God.

Mat 1:23
Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth
a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being
interpreted is, God with us.

A New Canvas


Mat 9:17
Neither do men put new wine into old bottles:
else the bottles break, and the wine runneth out,
and the bottles perish: but they put new wine
into new bottles, and both are preserved.

One of the ways that the enemy can trip us up is
walking the past. There are some things in your life you
ought not bring up ever again. I am not talking about forgetting
some things because there are tests you go through whereby
you learn from them but I am talking about when you begin to
constantly begin to rehearse your past by always bringing it up.

If someone hurt you, learn to let it go. Consider it a seed sewn
on your behalf because you never know when you may need
the same grace & mercy extended to you.

Haven’t you ever held a person hostage in your mind?
When you do that, you are obviously not over what the
other party did to you. They could be moving on with their
lives while you remain secretly miserable. Even if was not
your fault, learn to pray not against the person but the
actions of the person. God may not love our actions all
the time but he does love us. Just because you made a
bad decision does not make you a bad person. There is
hope for you to heal and recover from circumstances and
situations.

It is difficult to preserve godly counsel about an issue if
that issue has set up a residence in your mind. Walking
with God requires flexibility. You don’t have to base your
life on what happened in the past. Sometimes we have to
reanalyze our expectations with people. Some of our expectations
are too high and on the other hand some expectations are too low.

When we let the past be the past we can think more clearly and
focus on the future which will present new opportunities.

Just remember, when your past threatens to come into
where you are now, don’t take it lightly and rebuke it quickly.
Be careful of the comparisons you make between old and new
relationships. Continue to walk into the future and receive
the direction of God so that new wisdom can be preserved.

With Love

Where is your faith standing?


1 Cr 2:5 That your faith should not stand in
the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.

I found it to be very difficult for my faith to
become planted in the wisdom of men.
I used to base my results on man made
strategies whereby I would judge my outcomes
on my works alone. I would get frustrated because
I did not receive quick results. It wasn’t until
I stretched out my faith as well as continuing to
do the necessary works in the natural that I was able
to attain what I was believing God for.

My friends your faith has to stand. The question is,
Is it standing in the wisdom of men? or in the power
of God?

The word of God is what feeds your faith the necessary
nutrients and oxygen to grow and develop and become strong.
As your faith stands in the Word of God, it begins to crave
those nutrients from the soil from which it was planted in
(the Word of God).

A change begins to take place. You begin to go after the
things God. Instead of wallowing in the past, you tend to
focus on the future. You begin to lock into your purpose
instead of locking into a paycheck. You affections began
to be set on things above and not on things on the earth.
(Col 3:2).

When your faith stands in the power God, it defies the
negative circumstances around you.
Some of you, people are still scratching their head wondering
How you got that job you got with no extensive experience.
That is because you rooted your faith in the word.

When your faith stands in the Wisdom of men, you can
subconsciously develop a sense of entitlement whereby
you feel that you deserve to be where you are. You feel like
you are untouchable until God forbid you get laid off and found
out that your boss didn’t care about you in the first place. (Selah).
You can loose touch with reality and lock up your bowels of
compassion when it comes to serving someone other than
yourself with out any manipulative or monetary gain involved.

From a spiritual stand point, faith that is grounded in God gives
you stability to go through the fiery trials that you face. It gives
you the attitude and the tenacity which is a prerequisite to
be operable in the supernatural.

I want to give you a few pointers for what you are believing
God for.

1) Daily confessions- Continue to speak God’s word not your word
over your situation with according scripture. When doubt rises up,
rebuke it with you mouth.

2) Make a decision- there will be sometimes where you begin to get
frustrated but what ever you do, do not speak doubt with your mouth.
You can not speak words of doubt one day and try to stand in faith the
next day. If you continue to uproot your faith by planting it in the
wisdom of men one day and the word of God the next day, your roots
become weaker and weaker. Remain planted No matter what.
Doubt may come but keep your heart guarded because out of it flows
the issues of life. (Proverbs 4:23).

3) Put a belt on it- Ephesians 6:14 talks about the “belt of truth”. Truth
through the scriptures help support you faith and causes you
to not drift down into the basement of frustration.

Even though I am teaching this, I myself am not exempt from trouble.
I have to fight just like you do. We are in this together but through and by
Faith, We Will Overcome & Recover All. My prayers are with you.

Undying Love

Heart Renewal


http://www.efluxmedia.com/news_US_Heart_Failure_Hospitalization_Rate_Almost_Tripled_Over_3_Decades_28556.html

I am writing you today to simply encourage you.
All over the world right now men’s hearts are failing.
Men’s hearts have become sick.
(copy & paste above link)

Pro 13:12
Hope deferred maketh the heart sick:
but [when] the desire cometh, [it is] a tree of life.

I am getting reports back that Christians are having
a real challenge with their faith. After all the messages
that have been preached about 10 steps to get a house,
5 steps to get a car, 3 steps to get a husband, people are
having a hard time just dealing with intangible pressures.

We have been taught real well
how to give tangibly but perhaps we have not been taught to
give just as good “intangibly” out of our spirit which ultimately
helps bring to past what we are believing God for.

A minister friend of mine had mention in a recent prayer
meeting something very true regarding prayer.
a lot of times during prayer we do most of the talking whereby
we don’t allow the Lord to get a word in to answer our questions.

There are people that are reading this letter that are struggling with
a myriad of issues. Job loss has reached an all time high, Genocide
through abortion has reached an all time high (over 1300 abortions a day).
Corruption in government has reached an all time high.

I don’t care how bad the situation looks, God is able.
He is passionate about you. Others may have taken
You for granted but just know that God has your best interest
at heart. Saints we have to guard what we put
in our eye gate, ear gate, and mouth gate.

As you remain in God’s presence, he will never leave you or forsake you.
If there is any part of you that you have yet to give to him, release it
into his hands now. He is the only one you can trust.

Stay encouraged everyone. Stay encouraged! If God had of forgotten you,
you would have been wiped out a long time ago. He cares for you.
Remain in His presence and he will shelter you through this storm.

I leave you with this text:

Jhn 14:27
Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as
the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled,
neither let it be afraid.

Forever in His Love

A Democratic Mindset with in a Theocracy?


Hello Everyone,

I want to thank God for using everyone to
participate in the prayer yesterday.
My prayer for every last one of us including
myself is that we all remain consistent in
our prayers.

When our faith and works together are consistent
then that means our progression
is consistent. Now that does not mean that trouble
won’t come but it does mean that
through Christ we will Overcome trouble.

I thank God for Yemi mentioning “the times
we are living in” during the prayer.
It is so true. Think with me for a moment.
I bet you never thought it would
come a time where the church would begin to
look for a Savior in a “presidential candidate”.
as if a man (not God) has enough power and wisdom
to just fix America and at the same
time have an anti-Christ agenda. (No I still
do not know who I am voting for or if I am at all)

I bet you never thought it would come a time
where the media would pay the church off
and stop the church from speaking out against
the very issues that Jesus warns us of
regarding the anti-christ agenda. 1) abortion
2) gay & lesbianism 3) desensitization of the church

Now we as a church has been so much asleep that
we never stop to look and do some
inventory of our progress. Because when we
begin to analyze ourselves it doesn’t look pretty
all the time but it must be done. If you notice
the “strategies” are not working anymore,
every time we come up with new concepts
nowadays they don’t prosper.

So why don’t they prosper? Because for so
long we have been giving God what we “think” he
Wants rather than what God really wants”

Worship is a lifestyle and not only is it
a lifestyle but it is “reasonable.”
We are supposed to do that. regardless
if He blesses us or not.
We were created to worship. You would not
reward your 16 year old son
for taking out the trash. why? because
that is expected of him.

In spite of the calamities that are occurring,
a lot of it God is actually in it.

Isa 66:4
I also will choose their delusions, and
will bring their fears upon them;
because when I called, none did answer;
when I spake, they did not hear:
but they did evil before mine eyes, and
chose [that] in which I delighted not.

I am writing this because I want to be
honest with you & with the prophecy that God
is fulfilling in the earth realm now.

2Ti 3:2
People will be lovers of themselves, lovers
of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient
to their parents, ungrateful, unholy,

Now let me give you some hope because
I know that was a lot to swallow.

The scripture gives 4 specific things to put
into practice that guarantees a change for our good.

2Ch 7:14
If my people, which are called by my name,
shall humble themselves,
and pray, and seek my face, and turn from
their wicked ways; then will
I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin,
and will heal their land.

1) Humble yourself- admit that you have not arrived

2) Pray- pray the will of God not your own will

3) Seek His face- the Kingdom not the government Remember saints this is a “Theocracy” (God ruled nation not a democracy).

4) Stop Sinning- the blessing blocker

I just ask the Lord to give each and every
one of us the power to push past ourselves and
focus on the kingdom because what ever we do
In this life, out of everything we will achieve
in this life will dim in comparison to ETERNITY.
Man has only been on earth for 6000 years but
that with in itself still dims in comparison to
eternity.
I pray that we become Eternity Driven.
I am closing with this scripture.

2Cr 4:18
While we look not at the things which are seen,
but at the things which
are not seen: for the things which are seen
[are] temporal; but the things
which are not seen [are] eternal.

I love each and everyone of You so much but
it still does not come close to the love that
God has for us to warn us, correct us, instruct
us and guide us through the right path for our lives.

The King is Coming!

Walking in Precise Purpose- “Heaven is not enough”

It is very important for us to know our
purpose in life. It is important because
the ones that are reading this letter hold
the position or the potential to influence
others. There are some in the body of Christ
that are longing for a fresh word from the Lord.
They are frustrated because they are in a
dry place in their life.
They don’t really feel fulfilled.

They don’t know what their purpose is.
Things don’t seem to be working out for
them quite like they expected them to.

Many of you are bogged down with the cares
of this world that are immobilizing you and
causing you to operate from the position of
your weakness rather than your strength
because when you don’t know your purpose,
souls are in placed in jeopardy. As Zion,
God has committed into our hands a certain level
of responsibility to build his kingdom.
We are the sub-contractors that he uses to
accomplish certain tasks in the Kingdom on
earth as it is in heaven.

God has commissioned us to use our hands
to prime the pump that will release the water
(spirit) to quench the thirst of a dry, barren,
people.

In order to receive the Specific, Profound,
purpose that God has for you, you must:

1) Count up the Cost- Understand that the
rewards that God has for you will no doubt
cost you. It is not free Saints.
A lot of us have this “give me” attitude
where by we want God to drop everything in
our lap. That is not the Kingdom.
You see salvation is free but it is not the
“only” reason why Jesus came. If that was the
only reason then Jesus could
have made a b line from the cradle to the cross.
He saved us because there is an expectation
and a plan that he has for us in this present
life for him that ties into Eternity.

2) Give an account- Please know that you
have to give an account for not what you did
(past tense) in this life because
the blood of Jesus has already taken care of
that but rather “What You were Called to Do in this Life”.

Here is some Bible: AMP 2 Corinthians 5:10
For we must all appear and be revealed as we
are before the judgment seat of Christ, so that
each one may receive [his pay] according to
what he has done in the body, whether good or
evil [considering [c]what his purpose and
motive have been, and what he has[d]achieved,
been busy with, and given himself and his
attention to accomplishing].

Now this passage of scripture is talking
about the Eternal reward factor,determining,
what we did according to the Specific purpose
that God has given us on earth that will
Ultimately determine our position in heaven.

Let me close this out and we will pick
this back up in Part 2.

What are you giving your attention to accomplishing?
Are you choosing your own purpose or
are you walking into the purpose God has for you?
Did you witness to that person that God told
to you to witness to? Did you encourage and
build up that person that you knew you were
supposed to encourage? If not, who knows the
number of souls that were lost all because
we did not walk in obedience. Wouldn’t it be
something to have someone of high rank “spiritually”
on earth to miss out on their just reward in
heaven all because they did not walk into their
purpose of what God had precisely called them to do?

With God’s leading and our willingness
to position ourselves to Hear from Him.
We can finish our own individual race.
We can finish our course. We have an opportunity
to receive our just rewards in heaven.
Remember: Without obedience there would
be no incentives.

Jesus Always and Forever

Bobby
