Challenge ~ (I Corinthians 13 :) Do you represent, Do you resemble a God of Love?
~ Walking in our saviours shoes . xo
Confession Quote From Pastor Eileen Brown ~ ("Iam Love, Because He Is Love)
It is impossible to read the bible and not be taken to higher ground. The bible is a constant life challenge from the moment that you open up the book.
It gives you a higher view, a broader perspective and it seems to put your life under a microscope.
but for as much as the word of God judges the thoughts inner motivations and the content of our heart, It Judges mankind, humanity in the new testement through the life and death, and ressurection of Jesus Christ
As Christians, and Believers this is our strength and we should be FOUND in the LOVE OF GOD.
For the word of God [is] quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and [is] a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. Hebrews 4 :12
Often "we" can make a mistake, when we feel it is our job to enlighten each other of ones downfalls and mistakes.
Mathew 7 :5 tells us to have a humble open heart sharing our isssues from an equal possition rather from a higher, high minded position.
otherwise we are hypocrites, who will do more harm than good. ~ "Thou hypocrite, first cast out the LOG out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the speck out of thy brother's eye.
This scripture does not say not to help your struggling brother or sister in christ, it just means,to check your self first; and my tip is that you allow people to see how God has helped you overcome.~ That's testimony!
~ Who can meassure sin? Who can meassure the love and Forgiveness of God? What man can look into the heart and mind of man and judge His heart or his Sin?
A beautiful promise of God's love was when Jesus said " If i be lifted up i will draw all men unto me." John 12 :32
I remember brother Ed Elliot from (Word of Life World Outreach) preaching on, the love of God ~being lifted up_ drawing all men and all judgment unto Jesus through the finished work of the cross~
There are two judgements mentioned in the bible~ the judgment of the world, and the judgment of sin.
Jesus came for the judgement of sin,~ to take the sins of humanity, to take our sins upon himself.
That through living a life of faith in salvation by His Blood, you are able to outwalk your salvation, by faith in and by the Love, grace, mercy and forgiveness of God.
It you are a born again believer then it is the Blood of Jesus that has washed your sins away.
For God so LOVED the WORLD that sent his only begotton son,that whosoever believes in Him would not perish but have eternal life. John3 :16
Being judgmental is not spiritual discernment.
There is no judgement found in the love of God~ JUST FORGIVENESS
If we confess our sins he is faithful and just to forgive us and to cleans us of all unrighteouness.
There are countless warnings in the bible against passing judgment that is DISCOURAGING.
We as brothers and sisters in christ are called to uphold God's Love, and His forgiveness of sins that fulfills the law ~ Romans 13:8
Was Jesus Blood enough?
When you start walking into works, you start neglecting the price that Jesus paid to forgive you of all unrighteousness, and simply wash you with His love.
Salvation is not works, it is a life lived, by grace through the power of the Jesus blood.
We are in a new time and a new age for the church. We as belivers are biblically in the age of His Love And Grace.
Discerning Judgment is found in the love and the mercy and forgiveness of God~ To whom and what for, did Jesus rebuke the religious pharisees.
(Matt 12:34; 23:23) ~ A lack of MERCY
THE LAW OF THE PHROPHETS IS LOVE
Matthew 7
1Judge not, that ye be not judged.
2For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.
3And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?
4Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye?
5Thou hypocrite, first cast out the speck out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the PLANK out of thy brother's eye.
6Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.
7Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:
8For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.
9Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone?
10Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent?
11If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?
12Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets.
13Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:
14Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.
15Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
16Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?
17Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.
18A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
19Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
20Wherefore by their fruits( of love, joy peace,gentleness,hope, healing...) ye shall know them.
21Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
22Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
23And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
24Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:
25And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.
26And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand:
27And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.
28And it came to pass, when Jesus had ended these sayings, the people were astonished at his doctrine:
29For he taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes.
1 Corinthians 13
1 If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. 2 If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. 3 If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing.
4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
8 Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. 9 For we know in part and we prophesy in part, 10 but when completeness comes, what is in part disappears. 11 When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put the ways of childhood behind me. 12 For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.
13 And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.
Be strengthened in His Love
Romans 14 1-23 ~ Romans 15 ~ 33
Romans 14:1-23 (New International Version, ©2011)
The Weak and the Strong 1 Accept the one whose faith is weak, without quarreling over disputable matters. 2 One person’s faith allows them to eat anything, but another, whose faith is weak, eats only vegetables. 3 The one who eats everything must not treat with contempt the one who does not, and the one who does not eat everything must not judge the one who does, for God has accepted them. 4 Who are you to judge someone else’s servant? To their own master, servants stand or fall. And they will stand, for the Lord is able to make them stand.
5 One person considers one day more sacred than another; another considers every day alike. Each of them should be fully convinced in their own mind. 6 Whoever regards one day as special does so to the Lord. Whoever eats meat does so to the Lord, for they give thanks to God; and whoever abstains does so to the Lord and gives thanks to God. 7 For none of us lives for ourselves alone, and none of us dies for ourselves alone. 8 If we live, we live for the Lord; and if we die, we die for the Lord. So, whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord. 9 For this very reason, Christ died and returned to life so that he might be the Lord of both the dead and the living.
10 You, then, why do you judge your brother or sister? Or why do you treat them with contempt? For we will all stand before God’s judgment seat. 11 It is written:
“‘As surely as I live,’ says the Lord,
‘every knee will bow before me;
every tongue will acknowledge God.’”
12 So then, each of us will give an account of ourselves to God.
13 Therefore let us stop passing judgment on one another. Instead, make up your mind not to put any stumbling block or obstacle in the way of a brother or sister. 14 I am convinced, being fully persuaded in the Lord Jesus, that nothing is unclean in itself. But if anyone regards something as unclean, then for that person it is unclean. 15 If your brother or sister is distressed because of what you eat, you are no longer acting in love. Do not by your eating destroy someone for whom Christ died. 16 Therefore do not let what you know is good be spoken of as evil. 17 For the kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking, but of righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit, 18 because anyone who serves Christ in this way is pleasing to God and receives human approval.
19 Let us therefore make every effort to do what leads to peace and to mutual edification. 20 Do not destroy the work of God for the sake of food. All food is clean, but it is wrong for a person to eat anything that causes someone else to stumble. 21 It is better not to eat meat or drink wine or to do anything else that will cause your brother or sister to fall.
22 So whatever you believe about these things keep between yourself and God. Blessed is the one who does not condemn himself by what he approves. 23 But whoever has doubts is condemned if they eat, because their eating is not from faith; and everything that does not come from faith is sin.
Romans 15 (English Standard Version)
Romans 15
The Example of Christ 1 We who are strong have an obligation to bear with the failings of the weak, and not to please ourselves. 2) Let each of us please his neighbor for his good, to build him up. 3For Christ did not please himself, but as it is written, "The reproaches of those who reproached you fell on me." 4For whatever was written in former days was written for our) instruction, that through endurance and through( the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope. 5May the God of endurance and encouragement grant you) to live in such harmony with one another, in accord with Christ Jesus, 6that together you may with one voice glorify) the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. 7Therefore welcome one another as Christ has welcomed you, for the glory of God.
Christ the Hope of Jews and Gentiles 8For I tell you that Christ became a servant to the circumcised to show God’s truthfulness, in order to confirm the promises given to the patriarchs, 9and in order that the Gentiles might glorify God for his mercy. As it is written,
"Therefore I will praise you among the Gentiles,
and sing to your name."
10And again it is said,
"Rejoice, O Gentiles, with his people."
11And again,
"Praise the Lord, all you Gentiles,
and let all the peoples extol him."
12And again Isaiah says,
"The root of Jesse will come,
even he who arises to rule the Gentiles;
in him will the Gentiles hope."
13May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope.
Paul the Minister to the Gentiles
14 I myself am satisfied about you, my brothers,[a] that you yourselves are full of goodness, filled with all knowledge and able to instruct one another. 15But on some points I have written to you very boldly by way of reminder, because of the grace given me by God 16to be a minister of Christ Jesus to the Gentiles in the priestly service of the gospel of God, so that the offering of the Gentiles may be acceptable, sanctified by the Holy Spirit. 17In Christ Jesus, then, I have reason to be proud of my work for God. 18For I will not venture to speak of anything except what Christ has accomplished through me to bring the Gentiles to obedience—by word and deed, 19by the power of signs and wonders, by the power of the Spirit of God—so that from Jerusalem and all the way around to Illyricum I have fulfilled the ministry of the gospel of Christ; 20and thus I make it my ambition to preach the gospel, not where Christ has already been named, lest I build on someone else’s foundation, 21but as it is written,
"Those who have never been told of him will see,
and those who have never heard will understand."

Am i still giving God 100% of my Faith?
When you are young it is easy to take those risks, jump off those mountains and be care free, Do you remember what you were like as a teenager? The older you get it seems as though the worries of tomorrow try to kreep in, and you can find your self, procrastinating, assesing all matters of reason. But God wants our trust and our faith in Him zelously, with out hesitaion, fully confident to stand righteously redeemed in His Love.
"Do not worry about tomorrow, tomorrow has enough worries of it's own." ~mathew~
100% faith is resting and learning to trust in our saviour, +our redeemer who has conqured our graves!
.
"Do not worry about tomorrow, tomorrow has enough worries of it's own." ~mathew~
100% faith is resting and learning to trust in our saviour, +our redeemer who has conqured our graves!
.
Whatever you do, whatever you say, always share out of a heart of God's love.
"If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us [our] sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." 1John 1 :9KJV
At one point of time or another we fall guilty to one of the 7 deadly sins. one mentioned amoung them is so important; that it is mentioned continually thoughout the word of God; and it is about the power withing our mouth, ~the power of our words and what we say.
Proverbs 6:16-19 There are six things which the LORD hates, Yes, seven which are an abomination to Him: 1.Haughty eyes, 2. a lying tongue, And 3. hands that shed innocent blood, 4. A heart that devises wicked plans, 5. Feet that run rapidly to evil, 6. A false witness who utters lies, And 7. one who spreads strife among brothers. (Notice that the one who spreads strife is different than a false witness who is a liar.The following verses will reveal how such things as GOSSIP and SLANDER "spread strife among brothers." )
Hebrews 1:6 tells us that without faith it is impossible to please God, and so we know that to be like Jesus and to please Him, we need to walk continually close to him, renewing our mind to His word.
Romans 12 :2 "And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what [is] that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God."
Without the word of God strengthening our spirit, we outwalk and act according to this world.
God said in deuteronomy "Today I have given you the choice between life and death, between blessings and curses. Now I call on heaven and earth to witness the choice you make. Oh, that you would choose life, so that you and your descendants might live!
The power of our words continues to be spoken about throughout the word of God.
Proverbs 18:21says that ~
The tongue can bring death or life; those who love to talk will reap the consequences.
Something that i have noticed is that people who gossip find it hard to believe that you don't, or they find it difficult to believe that they don't come up in conversations. I initially started thinking about people who become extreamly parranoid and sensitive about the possible words and things that may have been said about them.
It lead me to thinking a little more on the subject of Gossip.
I think that if you want to have more faith and trust, in what people do or don't say, stopping gossip begins with you.
If you can't stop takling about people or meditating on bad things then "you/ we" will find it hard to believe and trust in others.
No one is perfect in everything that they say, and sometimes no matter how you say things, and even when you say things out of the best intentions, you are taken out of context or percieved in the wrong way.
I think that a good rule of thumb in scripture from the bible, is to do unto others as you would have them do unto you"
We need to live to speak unto others as we would have them speak unto us. (matthew 7:12)
If something is not encouraging, and uplifting towards the word of God them it shouldn't be said. especially if your words are containing a lack of faith.
It is also important to know and realise that we also cannot controll offence, in others hearts ;and we cannot always see what is there before we speak.
My advise is, ~And i am still learning,to daily strengthen these biblical truths in my life;
~ we need firstly to pray, and be lead by the Holy Spirit. Walking with God should be every second every minute and every moment of the day.
Gossip is straight out wrong. and when you are communicating, if arguments or disagreements arrise,they are not of God.
Even when you are right, you can appologise for the hurt that has been recieved.
~ We need always to realise our lack of faith that we have in people and to repent, from our sin, our wrong thinking ~and any missunderstandingss that fall outside of the lines of faith and God's love.
There is not one scripture where you see the words of Jesus spoken behind a persons back,and the only people mentioned in scripture whom Jesus rebuked and corrected, were those religiouse leaders and people who had already hardened hearts.When Jesus spoke, He always pointed towards the will of the father and following Him, no matter what the cost, and reguardless of peoples perceptions, oppinions and possible offence.
God is able to work all things together for good, to them that love the Lord.
May our actions, our words and our hearts always aline up with HIS.
My prayer is that whenever we speak, in Faith, God will continue to lead guide, direct and watch over our hearts and our words.
~God's Love never Fails~
God's word always prepares our hearts; and prayer through the Holy Spirit moves on the hearts of those whom we talk and share with.
May God help us to fully grasp the power of our words.
"Even so the tongue is a little member, and it can boast of great things. See how much wood or how great a forest a tiny spark can set ablaze! James 3: 5

Frustrated? ~ Turn your eyes upon Jesus
At what Point do we let Go and Let GOD? ( David hastlehoff)
I don't want to seem judgemental of those who seek help from people, or those whom need help, I have had my fair share of problems, and i know that nothing ever positive comes from getting our focus stuck on a problem.
I don't understand why we in our western world, need to pay councelors to focus on our problems, rather than get over our selves! What a pack of wingebags we are! On the other side of the world little children are going to bed starving, without their parents, homeless, naked and cold, with only hope to survive - while we sit around complaining about our mundane issues, getting mentally bogged down in endless negative thought- and pay people to keep our eyes on the bull dust!
For every care that you have, there is no one who cares to hear about it more than God, there is no one bigger or more powerful to help you through than shifting your focus to the all powerful love, grace and mercy of God.
You can waste all the money, time and personal exposure all you want with man, but nothing in this world can help you change and overcome everything you face quicker than getting in the presence of God.
~Turn your eyes upon Jesus Look full in his wonderful face and the things on this earth will grow strangly dim, in the LIGHT OF HIS GLORIOUS GRACE!

God is the author and the Finisher of your Faith
Hebrews 10:39 But we are not of those who shrink back and are destroyed, but of those who believe and are saved.
In believing in salvation; for you body, soul and spirit, physically, mentally and socially-
The bible tells us that we need to hold in rememberence and imitate those who through faith inherit God's promises. Hebrews 6 :12
Romans 6:9 looks at Abraham - verse :2o says "He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God;
21And being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform.
22And therefore it was imputed to him for righteousness.
Be encouraged in The word and by the word- have faith and confidence in God- Look to Jesus, for he has fullfilled your every need in His love.
Hebrews 12 :2 "Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of [our] faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God."
Struggles, and doubts of this world may try to come against you, but through faith you are simply able to stand boldly and confidently on the victories of Jesus, whom has purchased your salvation - SIMPLY ,BELIEVE ,RECIEVE, repent and stand assured FORGIVEN in your faith.

- Faith Testimony -The year before last, whilst studying at Faith Bible training center with RHEMA MELBOURNE, I heard one of the best words that set my spirit free, more over it set my soul free- It wasn't that I hadn't heard it before, but rather I was at a place in my life where I guess I really needed to hear it-
It was a simple word, taught over and over in class, that should be so obvious in faith, but sometime's we can still find a struggle in our heart.
And so it was like rain falling on dry ground. And it brings me comfort when I am feeling spiritually overwhelmed to push all else aside and lift high the name and victory of Jesus - The word was " THAT FAITH IS A REST"When we are truly in faith, we have peace and confidence, we are not trying to get something, that WE ALREADY HAVE Hearing this over and over in class was a great reminder and discerner of my heart.
When we TRULY are resting in the victories of God it really does bring alive; the peace and assurance of faith in our hearts.

"Generational curses" Why do people complicate the LIFE giving flow of GOD that is simply NOT COMPLICATED?? ARE YOU A BELIEVER?
Corinthians 2:14 "But thanks be to God, who always leads us in triumphal procession in Christ and through us spreads everywhere the fragrance of the knowledge of him."
Jesus came to free man from, sin, to bridge the gap and to remove the fear of Judgement! 1John 4:8 "Perfect Love casts out FEAR :)
"Generational curses" and "soul ties" teaching, from so called "believers" is a load of GARBAGE! It makes me so Angry that this teaching still exists in the church and the house of God today. It is unbiblical and i would be as bold to say that it is a deceptive form of witchcraft.
Generational curses are attached to the law of sin and death,it apposes all victory that Jesus has purchased for you at calvary.
It is such a twisted teaching that just laughs in the face of what price Jesus has paid and the power of God; to set the sinner free!
You see Generational curses in the old testement were attached to judgements - a result of a sinner, who is living outside of the blessings of God. The consequences of sin are from mans own free choice, living in constant rebellion to God.
God is not the authour of destruction, whatever calamity surrounds your life is simply a result of your choices or powers of darkness that have no authority in a believers life.
Teaching on generational curses to a new testement believer , is un biblical, in this age of Grace. It opens doors to the mind and then to the heart- for depression, anxiousness, fear, stife and turmoil. Above all else, guard your heart, for it is the wellspring of life. proverbs 4:23 + As a man thinks in his heart so he is! Proverbs 23:7
This is what my bible says, And it is Good news to the BELIEVER :)
2 Cor 5:17-19 “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come! All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation: that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting men's sins against them. And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation.” NIV
So often, all too often i have heard within the church walls "generational curses," taught to the believer?? Leaving christians more bound and confused about christianity than when they first heard the GOOD NEWS PREACHED!
Jesus came to free the sinner from sin and deaths hold, .....Ephesians 6: 10-13
“Finally, be strong in the lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God o that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms”. ....................................
15And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it. collossians 2 :15
He stripped the rulers and authorities [of their power] and made a public spectacle of them as he celebrated his victory in Christ.
Jesus came to bind up the wounds of the brokenhearted AND TO SET THE CAPTIVES FREE!!read is.61:1-3 + Luke 4:17-19
Don't let the enemy have any area of your mind or your heart!
Heb 1:33 Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;Hebrews 11:6 tells us what pleases God: "…without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who seek Him."Faith is something so vital to our christian walk that it will breath life into you and blessings from a proud heavenly father.
Our faith is what holds us to salvation.
Heb 2:1-3 (Phi) We ought, therefore, to pay the greatest attention to the truth that we have heard and not allow ourselves to drift away from it. For if the message given through angels proved authentic, so that defiance of it and disobedience to it received appropriate retribution, how shall we escape if we refuse to pay proper attention to that greater salvation which is offered us? For this salvation came first through the words of the Lord himself.
Don't neglect to hold in rememberence salvation, the message that you heard when you first believed, salvation for EVERY area of your Life.
Salvation a free gift from God, so that daily we are able to come unto the throne of God's grace and recieve His love forgiveness and mercy to stand in His righteousness through the Love and forgiveness of God- Washed in His BLood!
In keeping a right mind, I believe so strongly that Jesus gave us a key scripture that teach's us how we should keep, look after and encourage each other into living a life of faith that and righteousness that truly pleases God.
"And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what [is] that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God." - Romans 12:2
Our mind needs the word of life daily, as the soul continually forgets, it needs continually to be reminded and renewed to the love, the kindness and the goodness of God, through Jesus!
"So then faith [cometh] by hearing, and hearing by the word of God." Romans 10 :17
Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. For by it the men of old gained approval. By faith we understand that the worlds were prepared by the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things which are visible. By faith Abel offered to God a better sacrifice than Cain, through which he obtained the testimony that he was righteous, God testifying about his gifts, and through faith, though he is dead, he still speaks. By faith Enoch was taken up so that he would not see death; and he was not found because God took him up :) for he obtained the witness that before his being taken up he was pleasing to God. And without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is and that He is a rewarder of those who seek Him. By faith Noah, being warned by God about things not yet seen, in reverence prepared an ark for the salvation of his household, by which he condemned the world, and became an heir of the righteousness which is according to faith. By faith Abraham, when he was called, obeyed by going out to a place which he was to receive for an inheritance; and he went out, not knowing where he was going. By faith he lived as an alien in the land of promise, as in a foreign land, dwelling in tents with Isaac and Jacob, fellow heirs of the same promise; for he was looking for the city which has foundations, whose architect and builder is God. By faith even Sarah herself received ability to conceive, even beyond the proper time of life, since she considered Him faithful who had promised. Therefore there was born even of one man, and him as good as dead at that, as many descendants AS THE STARS OF HEAVEN IN NUMBER, AND INNUMERABLE AS THE SAND WHICH IS BY THE SEASHORE. (Hebrews 11:1-12)
Finally my thoughts are " GREATER IS HE THAT IS IN YOU THAN HE THAT IS IN THE WORLD"
THE HOLY SPIRIT IS ALIVE AND WELL WITHIN YOU! "The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart" (that is, the word of faith which we preach): that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation." Romans 10:6 11
THE ONLY CURSES THAT EXIST, ARE THAT WICH WE CHOOSE TO WALK IN!

Jesus came to free man from, sin, to bridge the gap and to remove the fear of Judgement! 1John 4:8 "Perfect Love casts out FEAR :)
"Generational curses" and "soul ties" teaching, from so called "believers" is a load of GARBAGE! It makes me so Angry that this teaching still exists in the church and the house of God today. It is unbiblical and i would be as bold to say that it is a deceptive form of witchcraft.
Generational curses are attached to the law of sin and death,it apposes all victory that Jesus has purchased for you at calvary.
It is such a twisted teaching that just laughs in the face of what price Jesus has paid and the power of God; to set the sinner free!
You see Generational curses in the old testement were attached to judgements - a result of a sinner, who is living outside of the blessings of God. The consequences of sin are from mans own free choice, living in constant rebellion to God.
God is not the authour of destruction, whatever calamity surrounds your life is simply a result of your choices or powers of darkness that have no authority in a believers life.
Teaching on generational curses to a new testement believer , is un biblical, in this age of Grace. It opens doors to the mind and then to the heart- for depression, anxiousness, fear, stife and turmoil. Above all else, guard your heart, for it is the wellspring of life. proverbs 4:23 + As a man thinks in his heart so he is! Proverbs 23:7
This is what my bible says, And it is Good news to the BELIEVER :)
2 Cor 5:17-19 “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come! All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation: that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting men's sins against them. And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation.” NIV
So often, all too often i have heard within the church walls "generational curses," taught to the believer?? Leaving christians more bound and confused about christianity than when they first heard the GOOD NEWS PREACHED!
Jesus came to free the sinner from sin and deaths hold, .....Ephesians 6: 10-13
“Finally, be strong in the lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God o that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms”. ....................................
15And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it. collossians 2 :15
He stripped the rulers and authorities [of their power] and made a public spectacle of them as he celebrated his victory in Christ.
Jesus came to bind up the wounds of the brokenhearted AND TO SET THE CAPTIVES FREE!!read is.61:1-3 + Luke 4:17-19
Don't let the enemy have any area of your mind or your heart!
Heb 1:33 Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;Hebrews 11:6 tells us what pleases God: "…without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who seek Him."Faith is something so vital to our christian walk that it will breath life into you and blessings from a proud heavenly father.
Our faith is what holds us to salvation.
Heb 2:1-3 (Phi) We ought, therefore, to pay the greatest attention to the truth that we have heard and not allow ourselves to drift away from it. For if the message given through angels proved authentic, so that defiance of it and disobedience to it received appropriate retribution, how shall we escape if we refuse to pay proper attention to that greater salvation which is offered us? For this salvation came first through the words of the Lord himself.

I AM, BECAUSE HE IS
Romans 5:5 Tell's us
And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.
The Love of God, the Father- always causes "you" to overcome, walk in forgiveness and triumph. If God loves me, to forgive me of my sins then in turn i have all ability to choose to walk in love and forgive others. Sometimes it seems as though, an overwhelming abount of heartache can be facing you,- But God the father is love and we know that His love never fails. It may seem that you can't scratch the surface of your hurts, but we can not even scratch the surface of God's love that he longs to fill our heart.
1Corinthians 13: 4-8
4: Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; 5 does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; 6 does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; 7 bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
8 Love never fails.
