With God You Can

"I can do all things through Christ who strengthen me." (Philippians 4:13 KJV) Through Christ, anything is possible. With God's help, who gives us Christians our strength, we can accomplish tasks that seem impossible. Even though the phrase "With God You Can" may seem straightforward, it might be difficult at times to let God have his way. When we as believers are guided by the principles and boundaries of God's word, we understand that no weapon that is formed against us shall prosper, and every tongue that rises against us will fall. However, there are times when we encounter situations and we forget that our heavenly father is there with us, and with him by our side, we can. This subject and how it may affect other people intrigue me greatly. The simple truth is that with God, anything is possible. I pray that God will allow me to speak under the influence of the Holy Spirit so that this blog can touch the hearts of its readers and consume the hearts of those who are excluding God from their situations.

"For with God nothing shall be impossible" (Luke 1:37 KJV) With God, anything that we perceive to be impossible in our lives is actually attainable. When God is on your side, circumstances that seem inadequate from every viewpoint become possible. "And, behold, thy cousin Elizabeth, she hath also conceived a son in her old age: and this is the sixth month with her, who was called barren." (Luke 1:36 KJV) We need to experience seemingly impossible situations in order to fully grasp the impact and usefulness of understanding that nothing is impossible for God. The Bible tells us that even though Elizabeth was infertile and both she and her husband Zacharias were old, they were both righteous in the eyes of God, keeping all of the Lord's commandments and ordinances without breaking them, and they passionately prayed for what they needed. As Christians, it is our responsibility to make sure that we are living righteously and in accordance with God's word and to pray, beg, and thank God for his blessings. "But the angel said unto him, Fear not, Zacharias: for thy prayer is heard; and thy wife Elizabeth shall bear thee a son, and thou shalt call his name John." (Luke 1:13 KJV) While it was undoubtedly doable when they were young, God blessed them when it seemed impossible. The circumstance that was once impossible was made possible because God heard their prayers—not just one day’s worth. We must believe that God is with us, but we are unable to do anything through him because he did not perform the task when we taught that it was possible at that specific time. Instead, he may have been waiting to demonstrate the wonder of his unfailing ability to complete the task when it seemed impossible so that your faith in him would increase significantly when you had previously thought to give up on him. Whatever people may say, he is simply capable of doing it all. He will always be by your side, so no matter what happens in your life, you can smile knowing that God is in your vessel. Be patient; this too shall pass.

"And Zacharias said unto the angel, Whereby shall I know this? For I am an old man, and my wife well stricken in years." (Luke 1:18 KJV) Be careful not to let your faith in God be diminished by circumstances that appear insurmountable. We as Christians are able to say, "With God I Can," and I'm convinced that neither houses, land, school fees, bills, or anything else you desire that seems impossible for you is impossible for the God that we serve. Angels bow before him, and heaven and earth adore him. If the Creator should tarry and the price of one bottle of water becomes $1 billion dollars and I'm dying for water and I have no money on me at that moment, God is able to provide for me to get that one bottle of water in a blink of an eye.

If you don't remember anything, let me remind you that you can achieve anything you set your mind to in this life because God is on your side.

Increase in compassion and harmony. Thank you so much for visiting and reading; I sincerely appreciate it from the bottom of my heart.

Time Is Winding Up

Time is winding up

“But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you." "For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.” (1 Thessalonians 5:1-2 KVJ) You already know that the Lord's return is drawing near, so I don't need to write to you. I don't need to remind some of us about the difficult time we're entering; now is the time for us Christians to be praying fervently for God's will to be done in our lives because it is then that the devil will try to wreck our lives and divert our attention from the time that is quickly approaching. My prayer for everyone who reads this blog, saved or not, is that no matter where they are in this journey of life, God's will be done in them so they will be able to know the trying times we're in. When contemplating this fascinating subject about time winding down, a lot of ideas and insights came to me, but for the time being, I'd like to focus on the idea of being awake for the times that are coming.

“And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed.” (Romans 13:11 KJV) It's time to get out of sleep. One of the most unfortunate things I've observed about Christians is how many of us are currently dozing off because we've become so engrossed in worldly concerns that we've allowed our awareness of the approaching end to fade. The word of God is being fulfilled every day, but there are others who haven't yet woken up. I find that there are so many people who don't seem to understand that in order for us to succeed as Christians, we must be in a place where the enemy can't drag us away from God's presence. “Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.” (1 peter 5:8 KJV) There is no time to be careless since our enemy is looking for us, and if we are not vigilant, he is going to attempt to consume us immediately as we take a breath to rest. On one hand, the spirit keeps us alert, but on the other, the war against the flesh and the torment of our sufferings in this life are carrying some of us into the state of deception of the coming of the Lord. Our adversary is attempting to trick us with his tactics of trials and tribulation to distract us from the realization that the coming of the Lord is at hand. There are so many factors that are causing individuals to fall asleep that it bothers me to think about them. No number of words can adequately convey how serious the problem is. The subject of how to stay awake in this situation has now arisen, and for some people, the more important thing to ask is, Am I sleeping?

In my spiritual journey, there was a time when I was sleeping; in fact, I was so deep in sleep that I was unconscious of the fact that I was sleeping. I was still at church, doing my ministry, but I was deep in sleep, and I allowed myself to think that because I was doing my ministry alone, it was good. I was so deep in sleep, however, that I started to fall deeper into sin without realizing it because sin is like quicksand: the moment you step in it, you better jump out because the moment you delay, it will consume you. One day I was visiting a church, and I was in the back of the church when I felt the presence of God. I started to cry, not out of sadness but of joy, which I had never experienced at that point. My desires changed from being carnal to spiritual that day, and I started to delight myself in the Lord. The more I delighted myself in him, the more awakened I became through prayer, fasting, and studying God's word, and the more conscious I became of this. The awakening of the age we live in is brought about through fervent prayer and fasting in the pursuit of God. “If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you.” (James 1:5, NIV) I can only share with you what I’ve learned through my journey: that you can be awake and still fall asleep. To stay awake, that can only be done by seeking God and never getting comfortable in where you are because comfort becomes dormant, and when you get dormant you’re able to fall asleep. His word declares that if we lack any wisdom or understanding, we should ask, for our God is the great giver; he gives without finding fault.

My prayer is that this blog will open your eyes and convict your hearts. May God guide us all through the times we are in and the ones that are coming. May peace and love be multiplied among you all. increase in compassion and harmony. Thank you so much for visiting and reading; I sincerely appreciate it.
