GOD DOES NOT TEMPT ANYONE
 
 The original sin of Adam and Eve seems to set a standard for others to follow. Two things stand out that have been identifiable throughout history.
Number one, I am a victim. 
Number two, it wasn't my fault it was yours.
Listen to Adam as God is confronting him in the garden. "He said, "This woman you gave me, she caused me to sin."
Our society today has certainly taken that to new heights. Everybody is a victim, and it's not their fault—everything from the government, climate change, the Republicans, the Democrats, and the preacher.
Of course, we tend to blame God when we mess up. Some say God knew what I was going to do, so why didn't he stop it? It was probably God who tempted me to see if I would fail.
Just to set the record straight. The book of James 1:13 tells us, "God does not tempt us with evil. But every man or woman is tempted by their desires."
Because that is true, we must focus on the Holy Spirit's work within our soul and thought life. If we don't take control through the Holy Spirit's power within us, our thoughts will dominate and lead us into a trap that will eventually kill us. (James 1:13 paraphrased)
Of course, the answer is not mind control or self-discipline. The only thing that works long-term is total submission to Christ. It is because of our submission to Jesus Christ as our Lord that our hearts are filled with the goodness of heaven and the presence of the Lord.
This is why the Scriptures tell us, " Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks." The flesh or natural man can never be trusted without the control of the Holy Spirit. It's because of the Holy Spirit that we have those wonderful fruits of love, joy, peace, temperance, goodness, etc.

I WILL WATCH OVER WHAT I HAVE PLANTED
 
As I was preparing myself for my night, watch and a good nights sleep, I heard the voice of the Lord that said,” I will watch over what I have planted.”
Then I realized that the spirit of God was not talking about himself, he was talking about me.
An uncomfortable portion of the Christian community depends on God to do everything for them. Most of us in our early days of prayer spent our time directing God to go do this or do that. Somehow our prayers sounded like a traffic cop directing traffic in a busy intersection.
However, when we begin to understand what happened at the cross in the resurrection, we know that we are now coal laborers with our heavenly father.
When Jesus ascended to the father, he said he would send the Holy Spirit who would be your helper. Many of us may think that the Holy Spirit helps us in our personal life only with problems and pressures.
I believe the scriptures clearly tell us that the responsibility for this earth, and the way it functions has been turned over today men and women of faith who represent God, the Holy Spirit, but Jesus on this earth.
So in the spirit made this statement; “I will watch over what I have planted.”
It was my voice speaking to my self, being reminded of the covenant that I have with the Lord Jesus himself to stand by the stuff that I have planted.
Remember your prayers.
Remember your prophecies.
Remember his promises to you.
It is our responsibility to stand by the stuff stay on the wall be the watchmen through intercession prayer declaration, and a strong faith that God will bring to pass what he has promised us, and what we have planted.

WE CAME FROM ABOVE, AND CHRIST TOOK US HOME
 
If I wanted to capture the mission of Jesus to earth in simple terms, I would call it. Gods rescue mission. The fathers plan from the beginning was to have created sons and daughters in his image. I like to refer to them as gods imagers.
Because Janice is 126 tells us that's what God intended when he created mankind that he would make them in his image.
So you and I are imagers.
However, you know the story Adam got sidetracked, and he followed his own way, and the whole human race followed behind him. Gods, imagers on earth became captive to another master.
Matthew the fourth chapter, says that they were in darkness and bound up all their lives. That's when a great light came, and begin to illuminate the world around them, and leave them out in the freedom.
Jesus lead a rescue team into this earth. Ephesians 4 describes it that he descended to the Earth from heavenly places.
Then it tells us that he ascended and lead the captives that he had rescued in triumphant procession into the heavily realms.
It goes on to tell us, then, in the book of Ephesians, that we are now seated with him in those heavenly realms, because he rescued us and brought us back to the father.

JESUS IS NOT THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD-YOU ARE
As shocking as that may sound to the ear of the religious Christian, in all reality, it's true. When God said to the sons of God around him at the time, let us make man in our image, and let him have dominion multiply and fill the whole earth. It could only mean one thing: we are created with God's DNA in the very core of our spirit. The scriptures tell us that God is light. So buy that deduction you and I have been made in his image. We must be light also. Even our modern scientific technology can detect you and me emanating the light from our bodies.However, let's see that in the spiritual sense. Jesus said in John 8:12 I am the light of the world, and those who embrace me will experience life-giving light, and they will never walk in darkness.Jesus told us in John 9:5 that as long as I am with you, my life is the light that pierces the world's darkness.In Philippians 2:15, the passion Bible tells us, for then you will be seen as innocent faultless and pure children of God, even though you live in the midst of a brutal and perverse culture, for you will appear among them as shining lights in the universe, holding out the words of eternal life.Then, in Matthew 5:14 in the Passion Bible, your lives light up the world, for how can you hide a city that stands on the hilltop, and who would light a lamp and then hide it in an obscure place? Instead, it's placed where everyone in the house can benefit from its light, so don't hide your light. Let it shine brightly before others so that your commendable works will shine as light upon them, and then they will give their praise to your father in heaven.Without question, God is the source of all light because he created us. And Jesus, by his sacrifice, gave us the light that dwells within us. Then, he gave us direct commands to continue to shine that same light into this world because we are the light of the 

WHY THE APOSTLE PAUL DIDN'T WANT TO KNOW ANYONE AFTER THE FLESH?
Some would consider Paul's statement to be one of a hermit, or at best, a mystic who wanted to live in a cave. However, both of those thoughts are not true because Paul knew what it would take to make the bridge between Jesus, the man, and Jesus, the Christ, the son of God.In the book of Ephesians 3:3, Paul makes the statement. This wonderful mystery, which I briefly described, was given to me by divine revelation so that whenever you read it, you will be able to understand my revelation and insight into the secret mystery of the Messiah.The Holy Spirit knew that if Paul had gone directly to Jerusalem, after his supernatural experience, on the road to Damascus, he would've learned and been trained in the outward expressions of Jesus, the man.If the New Testament church were anything like today's church, they would've taken Paul to all the hotspots and pointed out where Jesus healed the sick. He would've met Jesus, his mother, and his brothers and heard the story of his childhood and how God spoke to him as a young man.This is what Paul meant when he said he knew no one after the flesh.In the same manner that the Holy Spirit led Jesus into the wilderness, the Holy Spirit directed Paul to spend 14 years alone, separated from the physical flesh history of Jesus, the man.When Paul came to Jerusalem and introduced himself to the disciples, he had received that revelation of Jesus, the Christ, the son of the living God.It's upon that foundation that the church of Jesus has been built and grows today because we understand who Christ is to us.

THE UNIVERSITY OF ANGELS-AND EVERYONE IS A PROFESSOR
I love Angels. As a matter of fact, I love everything that has to do with God's world. I love angels because God loves angels. I love angels because they have been created by the same God who created me. That makes us a unique family because we have the same father.However, I am also aware that even the angels remind us that we don't worship them because they have been given to us as ministering spirits to bring us to our destiny.In reality, we are the professors at the University of Angels. The Scriptures tell us nothing: angels are baffled at the grace of God toward former rebels that he has brought back into the family. How could that be? That those who betrayed him were now back at the top tier of authority in the kingdom of God?First, Peter 1:12 tells us that the angels are curious about this because they look into and study our lives to see what it means to have. This kind of grace is given to us.You and I are living examples of a mystery that has been revealed to the angels and all the heavenly hosts. We are living examples of God's unending ability to give grace, forgiveness, empowerment, and sonship to those who do not deserve it.
