 The Closer I Get to God (Jeremiah 27: 2). 2 June 2023

The closer I get to God, the more-free I become; God flowed through Jeremiah as a vessel to show the children of Israel what bondage look like. God said put a shackle, put a yoke around your neck, put bonds on your arms and put shackles on your feet and he was showing them what bondage look like.

He was showing them that God was able to set them free and so the closer you get to God the more free you become because you will know the truth and the truth will make you free. The person whom the son sets free is free indeed.

Yoke around your neck talks about inflexibility when you are in bondage. There is a yoke around your neck and you are not flexible to be able to turn and see various perspective. You only see one perspective, you are inflexible. And when God frees you, you are flexible. You are able to see various perspectives and you are not stuck in your way of doing things.

Take the bonds off their arms, off of their hands. When you are in bondage you are not free to use your abilities, gifts, talents, and skills, sensitivities that God has given you and God is saying when I free you, you are free to use all the abilities that I have given you to get wealth. I have given  you power to get wealth, use  the abilities that I have given you  to get the wealth that you desire and so when you are free, when your hands are free  then you are free to use  the abilities  that God has given you.

Take the shackles off of your feet. Shackles have to do with your mobility, your movement and when you are free, you are free to move, you are free to move about the country for every place that your feet walk God has given you the land. He says you are blessed, coming in and blessed going out blessed.

God is freeing you to be able to move and so today I AM telling you the truth that there is a level of freedom that is available to you.  The closer you get to God the more freedom.

  Why Me? God’s Glory (Romans 8:18) Why? That's a question often in our Souls. Why is this happening to me? Why am I having this experience? Why am I facing this health challenge? There's an answer! Why am I having these relationship challenges? There’s an answer, and it’s the same one. Why am I having this financial challenge? There’s an answer! There’s an answer to every question in your Soul, and the answer is glory. The reason for every experience in your life is so that God can get the glory. The purpose of all our challenges is not to bring us down but to transform us and bring glory to God. Why am I having this test, this trial, this tribulation? So God can get the glory. Why am I experiencing this persecution, this headache, this pain? So, God can get the glory. Why am I witnessing this miracle, sign, or wonder? So, God can get the glory. Why am I having this challenge in my local assembly, in my ministry, in my business, and in my organization? So God can get the...

There’s a Grace on Your Life

  There’s a Grace on Your Life "By grace you have been saved, through faith and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God."    Ephesians 2:8 (KSB)    In Ephesians chapter 2, one word stands out repeatedly: grace . But what is grace? Grace is God’s unmerited favor, His love poured out on us, not based on anything we've done or failed to do. It’s not about what we think or don’t think. It’s simply a gift. A beautiful, divine surprise.  Imagine receiving an unexpected bonus at work, you did your job, and suddenly you're given more than you earned. That’s grace. It comes when you least expect it and fills you with joy and wonder. This is how God extends His grace freely, abundantly, and lovingly.  Throughout Ephesians 2, Paul highlights how grace is woven into our salvation. “By grace you are saved” means you didn’t do it yourself. Salvation is the awakening in your spirit to the truth that  you are God's beloved .   ...

Where Is the Love? Learning to Recognize God's Presence Through Galatians 5

  Where Is the Love?    One of my favorite duets is by Donny Hathaway and Roberta Flack: "Where Is the Love?" It asks, "Where is the love that you said you would give to me?" It's a timeless question and one that’s just as spiritually relevant today.    In Galatians 5 , Paul writes to the churches in Galatia about the contrast between the works of the flesh and the fruit of the Spirit. He helps believers understand how to discern what’s truly of God. And here's the spiritual compass: love is God's signature . "And envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God."   Galatians 5:21 (KSB)    Whatever you do whether it’s cooking a meal or making a major decision ask yourself: "Where is the love?" Is love your motive? Is love present in your tone, your actions, your intentions?  Paul’s letter urges us to determine whether we are operati...
