"Love Is Suppose To Be More Than Just  Words"

15 When they had finished eating, Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon son of John, do you love me more than these?” “Yes, Lord,” he said, “you know that I love you.” Jesus said, “Feed my lambs.” 

16 Again Jesus said, “Simon son of John, do you love me?” He answered, “Yes, Lord, you know that I love you.” Jesus said, “Take care of my sheep.”

17 The third time he said to him, “Simon son of John, do you love me?” Peter was hurt because Jesus asked him the third time, “Do you love me?” He said, “Lord, you know all things; you know that I love you.” Jesus said, “Feed my sheep.

John 21:15-17 NIV

If you're reading this, l need you to understand

something...Love is suppose to be more than just words. Peter could have told Jesus he loved him all day, until he turned blue in the face....But if, in all that time, there were no actions involved, just talk....

The sincerity of his words would still  have been in question. 

Instead,  Every time Peter said, Yes,  Lord..I LOVE YOU, Or You know, I LOVE YOU..Jesus required him to do something: 1). Feed my lambs  2). Take care of my sheep 3). Feed my sheep.

In other words...Put some actions behind your words. Show your love for me by what you do for them.

This was how Jesus reinstated Peter back into his life...After Peter had denied knowing him,  he required Peter's words be followed up with actions from then on.

🔥HEAR ME: Ya'll better stop reinstating people back into your life who have denied you, lied to you, and let you down based solely on the words of their mouth. Love is suppose to be more than just words, more than just talk.

You know that old saying, "Talk Is Cheap"...Beloved, It really is.

Learn from how Jesus handled his situation with Peter.. Stop believing their words. Like Jesus did...Demand that some type of action follow their words, make action a requirement, if they want to get back in proper alignment with you.

I'm just saying.

Until Next Sunday.

"The Importance of Presentation "

I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which  is your reasonable service.

Romans 12:1 NKJV

This scripture says to present your bodies... Implying that presentation in itself is important. You can't just give God anything. You can't just begrudgingly give yourself to God and think that "somehow" that honors Him.

No, presentation is important. 

Think about it...When God brought Eve to Adam it was not done begrudgingly or with an unwilling attitude, but the presentation was done in such a way that instantly Adam knew:

“This is now bone of my bones And flesh of my flesh; She shall be called Woman, Because she was taken out of Man.”

Genesis 2: 23 NKJ

Therefore, when we  present our bodies to God, there should be a moment where the Father just instantly knows within Himself that...This one right here is a part of me for real, this one right here is connected to me for real. They are not playing saved, they are saved for real.

They have made the neccessary sacrifices to live holy; for I am holy

 (1 Peter 1:16)...Meaning they've made some neccessary lifestyle changes, some neccessary behavior changes.  They no longer look like the world, but their sacrifice is living, daily evolving to look more like Me.

What they have presented is truly a living sacrifice not just a dead gesture they're trying to pass off as holiness, not realizing it sinks in my nostrils says God.

Beloved, We should be striving daily to  be a living sacrifice that is holy & acceptable to God, striving for him to KNOW us like Adam instantly knew Eve was apart of him, the way Jesus instantly knew the woman with the issue of blood had touched him, because he felt the onnection in Mark 5. 

We should want, seek after that type of onnection with God, now more than ever....The last thing we should ever want is to sink in His nostrils.  

Until Next Sunday.

"Give God A Yes"

What a love about Mary as young as she was, she was her own person, but yet she was totally dependent on God.

So much so, that when the angel of the LORD came to her and told her, God had chosen her to get pregnant and carry Jesus in her womb .Even though, she didn't know how it would happen since she knew not a man (sexually) like that...She didn't go to Joseph (her fiance) asking for his approval, she just took God at His Word.

She responded, “I am the Lord’s servant. May everything you have said about me come true.” And then the angel left her.

Luke 1:26-38 NLT

Mary showed more strength and character at a young age than some of us twice her age at the time.

Why? Because a lot of us want to run and go consult with a man or woman, or whoever BEFORE we can give God a Yes, if we can, even give him a Yes at all. 

A lot of us end up of worrying about the opinion of a man, the opinion of a woman and what they will think....Instead of giving concern as to what God just might be thinking in that moment.

Because remember the bible does say,  He has thoughts that he thinks toward us. Jeremiah 29:11 KJV

I wonder, what God is thinking when we run to the man and woman of God, or just a man or woman in general BEFORE giving him an answer?

Mary didn't have that problem though...She didn't hesitate to give God a Yes. Even though, Joseph (her fiance) would have to be convinced later on that she was telling him the truth and still worthy of marriage. Still, Mary took the risk and gave God a Yes....What are you waiting on? Give God a Yes.

Matthew Chapter 1

In the Words of Apostle I.V. Hilliard:

When it is, you've heard from God...

Counsel with men no more!

Or as the Apostle Paul once wrote:

Am I now trying to win the approval of human beings, or of God? Or am I trying to please people? If I were still trying to please people, I would not be a servant of Christ.

Galatians 1:10 NIV

BELOVED, You can't do both...Either, God gets a Yes or the people you're trying to please gets a Yes.

Until Next Sunday.

"Not If...But When"

19 When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the Lord shall lift up a standard against him.

Isaiah 59:19 KJV

18 Now the Lord will get furious and do to his enemies, both near and far, what they did to his people. 

19 He will attack like a flood in a mighty windstorm. Nations in the west and the east will then honor and praise his wonderful name.

Isaiah 59:18‭-‬19 CEV

First of all, I want you notice what the scripture DOESN'T say...It doesn't say, IF the enemy comes in, as though his coming in is optional. 

No, but the scripture says, WHEN the enemy comes in....Because he is sure to come in and start some drama, start some chaos and confusion wherever he feels comfortable enough to rear his ugly head.

But I love what the CEV (Contemporary English Version) says...It says:

Now the Lord will get furious and do to his enemies, both near and far, what they did to his people. He will attack like a flood in a mighty windstorm.

Hear Me, Believe Me: The Lord is going to pay back his enemies , both near and far, for what they did to HIS PEOPLE.

So, SOMEBODY while you're so focused on what the enemy is doing (especially in this season, in this so- called pandemic)....You need to be MORE focused on your relationship with the Lord, checking yourself based on the WORD OF GOD to see if you are really HIS PEOPLE.

Because if you are really HIS PEOPLE (living holy, sold out for the Lord, no matter what)....He will be like a flood against the enemy, that's how forceful his attack will be on your behalf, as he pays his enemies back for what they did to you, his people. The battle is not yours, but HIS; they are his enemies.

2 Chronicles 20:15 KJV

Beloved...Right now, you really do have the wrong focus. Stop feeding into what the enemy is doing, because every time you do...You're unknowingly giving him the praise that belongs to the LORD. Instead, focus on, work on your relationship with the LORD ensuring that you are indeed his people, because the LORD fights for his people.

The Lord will fight for you, and you won't have to do a thing.”

Exodus 14:14 CEV

Until Next Sunday.
