Be Hoopoe

For scripture is clear God will not be mocked whatsoever a person plants so shall they reap! Mockery is the act of insulting a person in this case God or a thing in this situation his laws and guidance as foolish and of no value. Mockery is also making a fool out of someone. No person, group, or government can eradicate the laws of God for he is sovereign. I challenge you to go to the scriptures and see for yourself the results of those individuals and rulers who continued in their own courses of action and the consequences of their deeds. 

Let us remember the Lord our God and what he has done in our own lives and in doing so the scripture become more authentic to our own situations and circumstances understanding that He is the same yesterday, today, and for evermore. 

We will all experience times in our lives that time and chance has delivered.  In these time especially when they tend to linger on for days, weeks, months, and sometimes years, we often begin to loos hope in change or deliverance.  These are the time we must hold on to our faith and continue to trust and believe in Gods timing and deliverance. 

If you are serious about knowing your design and purpose you must seek your creator and maker It is written Christ is the way, the truth and the life and no man comes to the father but through him.   He is our Co-creator and knows the Vision, Design, Plan, and purpose for your life.  

Now that we have made a distinction between the commonalities of Sheep and Goats and the differences, I believe we can move on with upcoming broadcast. It is also equally important that when we make differences concerning these two animals for spiritual reference we are not deceived. Always remember that the Love of God through Christ Jesus is equal, his care, concern, and provision to all his creation. Remember we determine our spiritual status to be Sheep or Goats based on our personal relationship with the Good Sheppard not any other memberships. 

Psalm 79: 13 Then we your people, the sheep of your pasture, will thank you forever and ever, praising your greatness from generation to generation.Psalm 100: 3 Know that the Lord is God it is he who made us, and we are his. We are his people, the sheep of his pasture.

This scripture will only come into true completeness in our lives when we begin and continue to develop our own personal relationships with the Lord.  It is and always has been his desire for us to come back into a relationship with him as it was in the Garden of Eden.  In this place man developed their relationship with Father God the same way we developed our relationship with our parents. In this closeness they both learned who God was and is and his love and care for us his creation.  He also gave us charge to care for his other earthly creations so that we would better understand him as an example of his love and care for us.  Religion may get you in the church building and introduce you to the Lover of your soul and play a critical role in your salvation.  However, it is your personal relationship of discovery and learning of who he is and how much he adores and loves you that will become contagious and long lasting in your life.  Because He first loved us, we through building our connection began to Believe in him, Trust him, Rest in him, Hope in him, receive of him, and most of all began to Love Jesus our Good Shepeard. St. John Chapter 1 Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.

The Praise of the Lord is a strong weapon against the enemies of our spiritual warfare and has been perfected by the newborns and babies of the kingdom.  Who without any hesitation or hindrance or impurity offer their appreciation to the Lord with true thanksgiving. We who are in warfare often find if difficult to Praise and Worship not having an understanding that it is often the solution to our situation.  It may not change what we go through, but it will change how we go through it and gives us a preview of our victory in Christ. 

There is no other name in heaven by which man must be saved other than the name of Jesus Christ.  This is the will of God the Father creator of all things. When we Honor his Son our Lord we Honor our Father God who in his wisdom has established all things. 

We will not find rest “true lasting rest” in no other one but our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, who is and shall always be our prince of Peace.  He has promised that if we focus our minds on him and heavenly things, those things of goodness and his righteousness we will come to the place of his perfect peace.  This peace will not be logical to the human mind because this peace is high above logic and is not subject to the laws of logic or your situation or circumstance.  His peace disregards your condition and replaces it with his in heavenly places.  In him there is no room for fear regardless of what we experience when we become determined to draw close to him and embrace his perfect love.  We are in an ancient war for our souls and for our personal faith in Christ.  Yet be encouraged Jesus overcame the world and the world systems including Death and the Grave.  By his unfailing love for us which was demonstrated and beatified by his death and resurrection.  “We the body of Christ” we have been ordained through him and by him to overcome all the evil devices and sufferings this world brings in our lives. 

In these times of troubles and tribulations we must remember that some things in our lives are allowed to produce in us the fruits of the Holy Ghost which are Love, Joy, Peace, Patience, kindness, and Hope.  Some of our sufferings are for our purification as we learn to produce these fruits not only for those in the body of Christ but for also those who Godless and have no knowledge of Him and his Goodness and Righteousness.  Remember he came and died for those who did not know him nor desired to be saved by him.  He was rejected by many of those who he came to save in the household of faith.   So we will suffer in his sufferings as we continue to share the Gospel to those in great need of salvation and deliverance.  

Many times, it becomes ever so difficult to tolerate the evils of this world and those who are used mightily in executing the plans of the Wicked ones.  We often tend to equate prosperity with goodness and righteousness which can be deceiving according to human standards and the standards of this world and world systems. Be encouraged that we do not labor in vain nor will we receive things that are temporary and can be corrupted.  We store up things in Heaven that will be everlasting rewards of our labors of love for Christ Jesus as we seek to build his kingdom on earth. 

Embrace the pending union of the Groom and Bride and ready yourself for his Coming. 

We often encounter situations and circumstances that we cannot change, nor can we ignore. In this time, we must continue to be found faithful in the things of God.  Understand that this is a test of our faith and our commitment to the things we hold dear and important to our personal walk with the Lord. We are living in the last days and men and women will continue to seek the pleasures of their own desires to a level not seen in may places. These will be contradictory to our lifestyle and learnings. This is a personal walk and a personal salvation that the Lord Jesus Christ extends to all of mankind to accept or reject.  To nurture or abandon with the seductions of this world and world systems.

It is common to look at the world through our own lenses and not see all the things that God is doing in our lives and in the lives of others in the mist of situation and devastations.  It is written “All things work together for them who Love the Lord and are called according to his purposes” Our hope and faith is that even in disappointments, trials, tribulations, and in Triumph we remain and seek to remain in his perfect will concerning us.  Remember we serve the God of All creation let us acknowledge Him in the splendor of Holiness. 

We are given the command to pray without halting. This is the way of he saints to continue in communications and supplication for all mankind.  We are to always pray to seek his will for our lives, his will for our love ones, our leaders, situations in the lives of those in our communities, cities and nation.  We are to lift up those who cannot and will not pray for themselves.  No prayer is too short or small when given in honesty.   

The proof of our love in not in emotions nor is it in our intellect it is proven in our obedience to his word and our ever-increasing relationship as we strive to become what he has ordained us to be in him.  The work of salvation and all that comes with his will for us will be completed, that is his promise to his servants. 

Even in the mist of troubles on every side there is no better place of peace and protection than under the wing of the Lord.  Yes we have trials and struggles and some are ordained for death of the body but not of the soul.  We must develop our relationship with Christ to the level that regardless of what this life may bring us we will have the knowledge, Peace and resolve to trust and depend on him.  Suffering is also ordained in this life with the promise that we who sow in tears will reap in Joy.  Joy that cannot be compared to the sorrow we have experienced. 

If it was not for your grace and mercy, we all would be consumed thank you for remembering that we are dust and that our time on earth is short.  Help us to seek you in all things and especially when we fall short of performing your statures and understanding your holy word.  It is written a righteous man falls down be get back up again.  Thank you for your patience and willingness to pick us up every time we fall.  Please remember we do not need to fear God wen we go wrong that is the time we need to come to him the most so that he can and will restore us back into our place in him.  Remember that we are in need of his forgiveness and cleansing everyday of our lives.  Christ has made provision for us in our walk and in this ever-increasing sinful world. 

Come unto the Lord with the newness of our commitment unto him.  Often it is appropriate to bring a new thing into the worship and praise of our Lord and to express our love for him with a fresh tempo and arrangement of our devotion unto him. 

The Power of our testimonies are often overlooked and we tend to forget the testimonies of our ancestors and the victories of their relationship with God.  It is good to reflect on the personal deliverances we have in which God as made a way for us out of impossible situations and circumstances.  Some of us have witnessed miracles and healing to name a few to include many answered prayers as we intervened in petition to Christ for the souls and needs of others. We are in the days that many will be seduced into leaving the true and living God and his Christ for what seems to be correct.  The spirit of the Antichrist is exalted and many who are not grounded or committed in relationship will be deceived.  The word of God is yet a lamp unto our feet and a light unto our path.  Its is time to remember, reflect, mediate, practice and enter into relationship through faith in order to remain grounded in the faith in a world full of false gods. 

Sometimes our weeping and labors seem to be useless and for nothing in our lives.  Everywhere we turn we see no evidence or result of our prayers and efforts we have put forth time and time again.  This can become so disheartening as we begin to question if  we have been in the will of God or if we have missed the mark concerning the things he has promised us.   Remember in your anguish that the timing of God is not the timing of humans, and we must allow patience to have a perfected work in our lives.  This is not easy, especially for those of us who have been waiting for years for the manifestation of our promises. 

Remember to trust in the Lord God with all of your heart.  Do not attempt to be comfortable in the correct way to go or the steps you should take based on your past experience and your knowledge.  Instead, do not depend on your own understanding but acknowledge God, Christ and the Holy Spirt in all things you do and your pathway and process will be guided by the trinity and he will direct you way of life. 

We have managed to commercialize every significant holiday and observance for monetary gain and to marginalize or totally remove the significance of the original intent. We no longer give space of the time of reflection, thankfulness or gratefulness the holiday was designed to provide. We have allowed the customs and manipulations of men to dominate our reasons and purposes for these special seasons.  Let's go back to the original meanings so that we can once again give reverence to God every day of our calendar year. 

There will come the day of the Fathers Glory in which he will be acknowledged by all men and women of the earth from the beginning of our creation.  Everyone will bow in respect and confess in truth that Jesus Christ is Lord.  He has so many titles and is worthy of them all.  On this day of recognition Christ will be Glorified in the Father and the Father Glorified in the Son. 

The enemies of God, his Christ and his Church are active in the Earth and we must be watchful for the attacks in our personal lives, as well as our professional lives.  There is no area in our lives that will go unchallenged and targeted for destruction.  Remember you have recourse in what has been stolen and destroyed through Christ Jesus our redeemer.  I is written when the robber is discovered or caught they are required to restore seven times the items or cost of the items stolen.  Our righteous Judge will in his perfect timing render judgment concerning you and require restitution.  Our God will also elevate us for his Glory so that the world will see we serve the true and living God. 

Sometimes in our distress we believe that our cries for help go unnoticed.  And in many situations unanswered according to our desires.  This is often the case, but we must hold fast and know that even in these things we are not forsaken. 

It is easy to become wrapped up in the things of the world and get off focus on the things of God.  We can  quickly change back to our old ways of thinking and acting.  This is so common because they have been our original ways of piloting our courses of action with a great deal of these techniques providing us with some level of success.  Now we must rely on the guidance, timing, patience, and mercies of God in these situations we often know are in our power to control.  We must refocus our reflexes in the physical and seek what is more beneficial in the spiritual as well as the physical that is pleasing to God.  This often will require a change in our strategy and behavior to align  us with the will and word of God and not  our own way of handling things. 

It is written that a person who is in right standing with the Lord may fall many times, but they will recover and rise again.  His grace and mercy for recovery and help is always extended to those who strive to live a life and lifestyle that is pleasing to him.  We are not given to live a life that is free from the evils of this world and world systems, however we are given the promise and guarantee that in the forms that he chooses help will come at the appropriate time. 

Often, we must remind ourselves that we are conquerors in Christ Jesus and to encourage ourselves in the things of God. Difficulties are common to men and women and we are in the world but not of this world and world system. Perfect timing is of the Lord who see's all things in our lives. Let us allow patience to have its perfect work in our vessels so that we will produce this precious fruit which is pleasing to God and beneficial to the perfecting of our souls and to the ministries we have been appointed .

God will make know to the nations those who are his and they will proclaim the rock of their salvation and strength to the Glory of God.  This is not the work of men but of God as he reestablishes his chosen people. 

It is of great importance that we develop the character of Christ Jesus so that we will be like him in all of our ways.  This can only be done in relationship with him not in religious practices.  This is where he reconstructs our character while preserving our personalities for his glory. 

 Often we are perplexed in how the Lord moves and in his timing concerning the wickedness of this world and those who are apart of it.  We have this assurance that his mercy endures, and his salvation is yet sure for those who trust in him.  Remember that his ways are not our ways as far as the heavens are above, so is his ways far, far above ours and his plans for us will not be overthrown as long as we are obedient and faithful to his word and guidance concerning our personal lives. 

The blessings of God are provided to those who reverence, respect, love and obey his will concerning themselves and their house.  The blessings of the Lord are manifested differently with each of us and often go unnoticed.  Seek him with all your heart all the days of your life and he will show you his salvation. 

Even in difficult time we have so much to be thankful and grateful for concerning our God. We have the hope of our salvation and redemption from the evils of this world and the corruption of our bodies.  We will no longer be what we appear to be in this life, but we will be transformed and be like our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ in Holiness and righteousness.  Never to be corrupted with the sin nature of the first Adam and Eve. 

Through Christ Jesus we who are born again are now apart of the family of God. We are a royal people and priesthood ordained by Christ.  We are a new creation although in appearance in the flesh we remain the same.  Understand our citizenship is not of this physical world that will soon pass away.  We have become citizens of a kingdom that will never, ever end.  Only the King of a Kingdom can grant citizenship to his kingdom.   This has come about through his personal sacrifice on the cross and his redemption of our soul.  It is time for us to come into greater knowledge of who we are and Whose we are in order for his kingdom to come on Earth and his perfect and divine will be done in our lives and in the lives, we are destined to touch. 

There will be times in our lives when we will be convinced because of the situations we are in and the confusion that it brings our prayers no longer have any effect.  We when look at the world and how things are unfolding be convenience we have been forsaken.  However, we have not for he has said in his word he would not leave us nor forsake us. Understand that many things in this life and in our lives must come to pass and that if you are experiencing much trouble and have been living a life acceptable to God.  You are in warfare and the testing of your faith and have been ordained to go through the fire of purification to prepare you and mature you for your calling and destiny in Christ Jesus. 

Often when we speak with the direction of the Holy Spirit, we are exposing sinfulness and injustices in our areas of influence. These must be identified for correction and realignment to take place in the lives of those we love and have great concern.  Remember that we are in an ancient war between Light and Darkness and between the Kingdom of God and of Satin.  Our words are life unto those who receive Christ and his salvation and instruction. 

Daily we must seek the forgiveness of the Lord God as with each day we become stained with the sins of the world and the transgressions of our self-will.  We are not what we shall be and struggle with sin natures as we grow in graces to overcome our own weaknesses. 

Many are the enemies of the righteous, but the Lord delivers us from them all. His deliverance come in many forms depending on his will for us individually.  Yes, we go through trials and tribulations for his purpose and for our maturity but we can always rest knowing it will work out for the good of those who are called according to his objectives. 

If my people who are call by my name ( those who have been redeemed by his body and blood through salvation) would humble themselves.  “Come out of the sin of pride and self-will” then through much prayer seek my face “Seek out the things of the Lord God not of the world or things of our own lustful desires” and while in these efforts of seeking the Lord God “turn from their wicked ways” stop committing the sins we know are abominations before the lord according to the scriptures not opinions of men. Then will I hear from heaven, once we are cleansed from our personal sins and are actively walking upright before the lord our God he will give attention to our prayers and not reject them. And will forgive their sin, the collective sins of our communities which we also are now partakers of its consequences. and will heal their land for the sake of the saints and those who are innocent in the sight of God. 

Praise is common for the Saints of God to give him acknowledgment for being the God of all creation and for his marvelous works.  He is supreme and has graciously taken interest in and care of all of his creations. We who have been created in his image and have been redeemed by the Blood and Body of Christ Jesus have much to give thanks for.  Our thanksgiving is not of pure emotion nor of obligation but flows out of a knowledge and relationship with our God. 

It is so important in this day of trials and test that we rely on the strength of God in Jesus Christ.  It is in our weakness that his strength is made perfect in us. This is because when our strength and ability ends his takes over which is perfect and made perfect in us and through us.  It is not our own effort so that no one can be arrogant of their own abilities. 

Often because of sin we do not understand the actions of others as they go about the business of their day.  It is often presented to us a personal behavior in which we are the object of.  Understand that much is going on in the lives of the people we are in contact with, and much influence is being used by our enemies to guide them in their behaviors which align in sinfulness.  We were shaped in sin and so sin is common and normal for all men without Christ.  Light opposes darkness and darkness opposes Light and we have been called out of darkness into the marvelous light of our Lord and Savior Christ Jesus.  

We are coming into a time of repayment unto those who have committed atrocities to mankind in every nation. There is not one nation who is innocent concerning sin.  However, some nations and cities are accounted for more wickedness and will be judged accordingly.  We should take note of the cities of old who were judged, condemned and destroyed never to be built again according to the records of their rebellion and ungodliness.  The Cities of Sodom and Gomorrah are two examples which reflect the conditions of many places on the earth. 

With all the evil that surrounds us if is often difficult to not to fret concerning what we see and the results that come about concerning those who do evil.  Understand to everything under heaven their is a time and season.  We do not dictate the season or the time the season last concerning individuals, governments, or administrations  of the workers of evils.  We do however need to remember that the just live by faith and that these situation are those that will test our faith in God.  We must continue to do good regardless of what everyone else is doing so that in the season apponinted for us we will reap the rewards of our faith. 

We live in a world where justice is denied to the people especially the poorest of the poor. We who are in the body of Christ should always seek justice for all people especially for those who can not speak or speak up for themselves. Those who are oppressed by the world and world systems. Those who are exploited and have no one to come to their aid. These are the passions and the compassions that are given to the body of Christ to do the works of him who sent us. Let the wisdom and the knowledge of the Lord guide you in your battles for justice. 

It is imperative that we draw closer to the Lord our God and to make him our place of abode. We can not remain in the peace, joy, fulfilment, or constant fellowship of our God without our continued connections with the Holy Spirit and with standing and living his word. We need our relationship and walk with him to be unshakeable so that our direction and his will for our lives are made personally assured. 

Understand that we whom the God of all creation corrects in his love and we who adhere to his corrections and chastisements will benefit and reap the reward of eternal life. Those he loves he chastises so we will not be condemned with the wicked of this world. So rejoice in his love regardless of what comes your way always. 

There are times in our lives we experience devastation and ridicule that we must endure in order for faith and resolve to be made complete.  This is not a sign of abandonment or of God's ability to delver us from our enemies.  Often this is a season of refinement in which we must go through and through fire.  There are many things in our lives that must be purged and remove so that the fruit of the Holy Spirit may spring forth to the Glory and honor of God.  

Let your heart be glad and seek new mana from heaven daily so that that lord of all creation can establish you in the faith and equip you with what is needed each day of your journey back to him.
