What is Biblical HOPE? 09/10/2011

Hello and God Bless you… Hope you have been well and had a good few weeks. This is The blog of Lisa Tierney Enjoy Loves Living Word Ministries Holy Spirit Teachings based on the WORD OF GOD

God is a Righteous God… That is who He is.

 He wishes for us to be righteous also. When you are born again ( except Jesus into your heart ) you become righteous with him. How? You are in right standing with Almighty God through Christ. When you except Christ into your heart, His spirit comes to live inside of you. The Holy Spirit. You then have His nature, His character in you. As a child of God you are to be righteous in deed not just in position. 

This is something this world lacks. Backstabbing, nastiness, evil, cruelty, egotism, ignorance, selfishness, denial and blame passing, all these things are very present in this world and this operates through many people here. This is not Gods Nature this is the anti Christ’s. We are a people who are meant to be like Jesus… Holy, righteous, good!

 I call you to be as Jesus is now in Jesus Christ Name. We are not to spread evil but instead spread His love, His righteousness, His goodness. Jesus paid the ultimate price once and for all so that you could walk this way on this earth. He paid the price in blood and pain to defeat the dark side so that all that you have done in your life can be forgiven, and does’nt exist anymore. Not so you could hate your family, friends and anyone else. Not so you could be jealous of another. Not so you could be spread lies and bitterness if you don’t get your own way. If people would get hold of the fact that Gods nature Love and Righteousness is the answer this world would be a very different place! Salvation is to give you a changed nature, an offer of righteousness from God. Not just a ticket to heaven!.
 
I am still learning myself, I too have to put up with awful people passing blame, spreading lies and causing you problems. I am still learning to let go of my old nature, the one that fights back. The one that insults another because they have insulted you. The old nature that retaliates when attacked. No matter how much pressure you are under, if you don’t bite into their bait you can walk righteously and behave in a Holy manner. I am not there yet but I am on my way!.

Every experience is taken, learned from, adapted and changed through prayer and walking with God. He shows you where the error occurred and usually if it’s a person who has been in your life for a while, if you are walking closely with God He will have given you early warning signs to prevent the circumstance happening in the first place. In my case recently I didn’t heed to my Fathers instruction, He told me to back away from a person. He saw their heart, their motives, He sees everything! I saw warning signs but over rode them thinking I was able to help them. I was manipulated in a way that satan uses people. So when the circumstance finally arrived and the attack began, Because of many pressures I bit back! Praise God for His love, guidance and mercy. He was able to show me why this materialized, what I should have done to prevent it and not to get into that situation again. His love is wonderful even when you make mistakes He is right there to show you where you went wrong and that He loves you regardless. A wise person will take on board the experience and see the positive outcome involved, that’s you being changed further so that the same mistake does not happen again. 

We are all going to make mistakes it is what you do with them that counts. As a person of God in my case I have learnt a valuable lesson. it’s a life changing lesson. If you are walking with God and preaching and teaching about the love of God and his righteousness satan will come along to test that very thing. There is no condemnation to those that are in Christ Jesus, even if you didn’t behave correctly, you can correct that by learning from the experience and not make the same mistakes again. God knows we are not perfect, He knows the anti Christ’s spirit roams in people on this earth. This doesn’t bother Him one bit, so don’t let it bother you either. As a person who has learnt a valuable lesson don’t ever over ride the Holy Spirit and his guidance. Listen to him, act on what He says, do it straight away, Don’t worry about the outcome. I can vouch it would be a lot less stressful or upsetting than the outcome that would happen if you went ahead and did it anyway. Praise GOD for His love and healing power. Praise God that even though I with all the right intentions didn’t listen to him. He never left my side, He was there when things got rough and He was there to encourage and strengthen me in that area so next time I know what to do ahead of time.

This is one of His precious gifts to His people, He is the one who sees ahead, sees a persons heart and intentions. He is the one that sees all things behind closed doors. He is the one that will make your path straight, He sees the pitfalls that satan has put in place for you and He is the one who will guide your steps if you will let him. We have a precious gift of protection if we will heed to His instructions. He is the one that is there even when we don’t and we are faced with undesirable circumstances. This gift is precious more precious than and jewel or money could ever bring. He is the one that paves the way for the righteous ( His people) so take it from someone who has been through certain circumstances unnecessarily. When you have built a relationship with your heavenly Father and you hear the voice of the Holy Spirit LISTEN to it. Do not ever override Him. No matter how good your intentions are DADDY KNOWS BEST! Amen! Your daddy wants to take care of you , He is the only one that can do so with the very best of intentions, no ulterior motives, no agenda other than love. So Hope in the Lord, put your trust in him. Take him at his word, believe in Him. Take His precious promises in the bible and apply them to your life today. If He says you are righteous and His, then You are His. 
Don’t ever listen to the goats that say YOU!!!! a Christian! No one is perfect if we were Jesus would not have had to come back and die for us.. We were all born under sin and can and do sin.. That nature is built in us, Jesus came to bring his nature back to us.. So even if you mess up don’t listen to the goat pulling you down! Its a goat speaking, who ever listens to goats will end up butting their own head against a fence repeatedly. The Goats don’t listen or hear God, God said “ my sheep will hear my voice. This is how the Lord separates the sheep from the goats. The Kingdom of Heaven comes close to many people, the sad thing for many is they let it pass them by. We can listen to God. He the only one you should listen too… We can listen to ourselves thinking we know best ( and find that yet again you didn’t) or you can listen to the goats and satan. The message is LISTEN TO GOD! No other!

We have been studying 1 Corinthians 13:4-8 today we will look at the latter part of this scripture we are almost complete with the study of 1 Corinthians 13:4-8.
It says Love always hopes, Love hopes all things.

1 Corinthians 13:4-8 it says Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails."
This is the New International Version we have studied. But Lets take a look at the New King James Version because it explains things a bit better:

Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails.

Hope in the English dictionary means: a feeling that what is wanted will happen. It is a confident expectation. Hope is a case of it may happen but again it may not I’m hoping it will.
The Way the word hope is used in this world is very different to bible hope. We use the word hope like this for example:
“I’m hoping to catch the bus in half and hour” it is a futuristic term. Future tense.
Another term “I hope she comes tonight so we can have a good catch up” again future tense. But it isn’t a full on it is going to happen.
This type of hope is not the biblical type of hope God talks about, “Love always hopes-Love hopes all things”
 
Biblical hope is so powerful, it is a confident expectation and a KNOWING that what is wanted will happen. Its is closely linked with Faith. 

It is the no matter what my circumstances may say type of hope for example:
“ You have a serious health condition, your doctor says there is no hope ( how apt) yet; you have studied the word of God, used it in your life and seen it work time and time again. You know that Gods word is the truth, alive and powerful and it works so you “Hope” in the promises God has said about Healing in the bible. You Hope even though your body is showing and feeling otherwise. You hope even though you are in so much pain, You hope in Gods promises because Gods word says that Faith is the opposite of what a lot of people in this world operate in. They operate in “well when I see it I will believe it“. This is the opposite of How Gods has taught us to operate. Faith and bible hope is believing in the promises of God and not wavering no matter what you are up against. When you do that you have broken through to the supernatural realm and in doing so God can release His supernatural power to accomplish that which you are hoping for.

Hebrews 3:6 "But Christ (the Messiah) was faithful over His [own Father's] house as a Son [and Master of it]. And it is we who are [now members] of this house, if we hold fast and firm to the end our joyful and exultant confidence and sense of triumph in our hope [in Christ]."

Hebrews 10:23 "So let us seize and hold fast and retain without wavering the hope we cherish and confess and our acknowledgement of it, for He Who promised is reliable (sure) and faithful to His word. "

Romans 15:4 "For whatever was thus written in former days was written for our instruction, that by [our steadfast and patient] endurance and the encouragement [drawn] from the Scriptures we might hold fast to and cherish hope." 

Romans 8:25 "But if we hope for what is still unseen by us, we wait for it with patience and composure."

Now there is a line to be drawn here. Obviously it has to be in line with Gods will and what His promises are. You can’t go around hoping saying “ Well I’m believing God that I will win the lottery”!

You will be waiting a very long time!. It must be aligned with Gods will and promises and here is the great and good news. There are thousands of them in the bible. All absolutely wonderful, all attainable, all yours for the receiving if you are born again to The spirit of God in Christ Jesus. In Gods word at

2 Corinthians 1:10 it says “All the promises of God are yes and Amen in Christ Jesus”.

ALL means ALL! So how about having a look at what God has promised His people and then compare that to what the world has to offer. There is no CONTEST!

Gods promises are not like mans… Man breaks his promises over and over even legal binding contracts and agreements are breached. This is the nature of Man. BUT Gods promises are ones that you can Hope in, believe in and trust in. No matter what is going on in your life or what you are up against. It may appear that the exact opposite of Gods promises is happening in your life and how could you possibly believe in what Gods word says. The only way to do so is to build a solid relationship with God, get to know Him, His word and Jesus through the Holy Spirit the teacher and reveal-er of the truth. When you know God, Have experienced His supernatural power in your life, when you have experienced His love in your life nothing can shake you unless you allow it. You have assurance that His promises come to pass, He never breaks His word or promises.

New Living Translation 2007

Numbers 23:19 “God is not a man, so he does not lie. He is not human, so he does not change his mind. Has he ever spoken and failed to act? Has he ever promised and not carried it through?”

Isaiah 40:8 “The grass withers and the flowers fall, but the word of our God stands forever."

He is God the almighty sovereign Lord. He is Love Itself. Gods word says LOVE ALWAYS HOPES- LOVES HOPES IN ALL THINGS. Did you know that God actually believes in you. He has every faith in you!
As a child of His, to be able to receive all He has for you, you must operate by His nature, His way of doing things not the worlds. His way is biblical hope, faith, absolute trust and believing in what God says and not what it looks like. This is LOVE ALWAYS HOPES No matter what! But not on something that could never be. Hopes on the truth and realty that WILL COME TO PASS if you don’t waiver and let doubt creep in! So for example You hope in Gods promises HIS WORD and claim them for your life regardless of the situation and what appears to be happening… Ie: what your circumstances are saying.
 
This could be an illness, this could be debt and no money, this could be many of the things the world throws at you. When you get to know God and have faith in Him and his word. You are able to hope no matter what is going on knowing that is if you stand firm and not grow weary with the things that are going on in your life, biblical hope is a guarantee that things will turn around. By this I don’t mean a 360 turn right back where you were. I mean a 180 turn in the opposite direction! In order to stay in biblical hope you must stay in His word, renew your mind ( thinking) to the word of God and when this is done you are able to see as Gods sees things ( a supernatural way ). This is the truth…..Things are not as they appear. We know this for example: A person judges another by the way they dress and what they look like, and in many cases when they actually spoke to that person and found out what was happening or has happened in their life they realize that actually what they had thought about that person was not the case. This is a classic example of things appearing a certain way and actually they are far from. You must have heard the saying " Never judge a book by its cover"!

Lets take a quick look at Abraham.. He was a man who loved God and God saw his heart and love for Him. His name was Abram, God told Him that He was going to make covenant with Him. Part of the Hebrew culture was this, when you entered into a blood Covenant it was unbreakable. The two persons involved exchanged robes, all that was theirs was now also the covenant partners so if one lost all his worldly goods; the other covenant partner would give no matter what half of his to his partners or vice verse. There were certain symbolic acts that the persons did in the covenant exchange. One was the exchange of names. So God said to Abram, I am giving you part of my name which is Jehovah and He told Abram that his name was now "Abraham" which means “Father of many nations” This was so odd to Abraham as he had a wife called sarai who was barren.  They were unable to have children, They were both very old Abraham in his nineties, Sarah also in her late years and as we know having a child at that age or over is virtually impossible…. So Abrams name changed to Abraham, Now Abraham knew that all the Jewish people would be laughing at him and talking about him because a name was a very important part of their culture and it symbolized their own life to a T. And he was in his nineties and fatherless and now he was going to have everyone call him “Father of many Nations”!!!! However He was like ok Lord, Abraham it is.. God changed Sarai’s name also to Sarah, He was in blood covenant with her also. He told Sarah she was going to have a son at the age she was. Can you imagine what this looked like, it was virtually impossible. She didn't doubt God she took His word knowing full well that whatever God said was truth... Then Abraham was told. Did Abraham say no way its impossible… it cant be done, I'm of old age etc…. or did He believe the word of the Lord regardless of his body, his circumstances and his wife's barren womb!? We could go a lot deeper with the story but instead have a study of the story for yourself! This fantastic historical event is recorded in Genesis. So how did Abraham take what the Lord said to him about having a Son? Did he use Faith in God? This is the scripture we should look at here…

Romans 4:16-19 “ Abraham did not weaken in faith when He considered the impotence of his body which was as good as dead because He was about 100 years old or the barrenness of Sarah s womb”

No Abraham didn’t look at what things appeared instead; He bypassed all this and hoped in God and His word, He trusted, He believed in Faith and didn’t waiver and a miracle happened to Him and Sarah happened they had a son Isaac! Not only that He did become "The Father of Many Nations" but that's another study! This biblical HOPE…
The bible has hundreds of these types of Historical events that happened.
Questions is…. What do you have your hope in? Take it from someone who has had everything taken away from them, left with no solution from the world and its people no matter how intelligent they were!!!! Thank God I put my hope in God and his word through Christ. I wouldn’t be where I am today.
Im on my way! The right way! Praise God.

Hope in all things, never give up with hoping in Christ and his word! You cant go wrong, you will be on the path to life. light, blessings and righteousness. There is no better place! This is the truth, This is what so many miss out on. Don’t be one of them who will have to look on in torment forever and ever and ever agonizing over why you let Christ pass you by. All He wants to do is love you, take care of you, give you the real truth not the deception that lingers over the world. He wants to give you His ability, His love. LOVE ALWAYS HOPES.

Romans 15:13 "May the God of your hope so fill you with all joy and peace in believing [through the experience of your faith] that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound and be overflowing (bubbling over) with hope." AMEN

Are you ready for the TRUTH?


God Bless you and study all we have seen here today. If you would like to invite Jesus into your life heart and spirit then say this prayer.

“ Father forgive me for my sins. Jesus Christ come into my life and heart. Guide me, By having the eyes of my heart flooded with light, so that I can know and understand the hope to which He has called me, and how rich is His glorious inheritance in the saints (His set-apart ones). Eph 1:18 show me the way the truth and the life. I make you Lord over my life and I believe you have been raised from the dead and live forever more in Heaven. Thank you for my new life. I give it to you In Jesus Christ Name Amen”

If you have said this prayer for the first time please let LOVES LIVING WORD MINISTRIES know about it. I would love to here from you!





Question is : ARE YOU READY FOR THE TRUTH?

1 Corinthians 1:18
"For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God".

A poem... by Lisa Tierney

Without HIM we are nothing!

God reaches to places man could never reach
His heights are infinitely beyond
His love remains steadfast, stable unchanged
even when He has been wronged
Such a sweet voice steering inside my head
urging me to keep going on
release to me my child the pain within
Let me sing you a new song!

So as I release re new refresh In Him
I feel the strength re build once again within
His fragrance emanates, within my soul
His warmth and joy fills in that hole
to overflowing with and everlasting love
as i stand in awe as look on above
To our maker the one who has paved the way
The bringer of Light and peace for every day

Father my love, My all, My Life
help me tame the darkness the evil the strife
that constantly knocks on your servants door
Your blood cover this, I stand firm so sure
as the fiery darts horde after horde hit the floor.
My God My all My Life so true
where would I be if I was without you.

A rainbow in the sky, a message, a sign
your gentle voice conveying what is divine
Your precious gifts within me growing strong,
Relaying what you need to be known
How great is your love a love through all time
unchanging, stable, simply divine..
The blood you shed once and for all for me and mine
Keeps me going until the end of all time.

18/09/11 What are you listening too? 1 Corinthians 13:4-8 LOVE ALWAYS TRUSTS

Hello and God Bless you. Hope you have been well. 

God is a good God, nothing bad could ever come from Him.
 
What have you been listening to this week? Have you been listening to the bad report? Or have you been listening to your circumstances that are screaming out things are bad!. God word says LOVE ALWAYS TRUSTS in the latter part of 1 Corinthians 13:4-8…. When we are in Christ we too are to trust. Are we just to trust anything or anybody. No!

We are to trust in the one who is and always will be faithful Jesus Christ. We are to trust in Gods word. 

If anyone is going through a harsh time right now Gods word will give you the answer.. It is up to you to speak it out of your mouth and believe on it ( trusting) even if you don’t see change straight away. This is Faith in Gods promises. This is TRUST….. All Gods promises are given to the born again spirit filled believer in Christ. The Answer is Jesus Christ. He is the one who can supernaturally change your circumstance around just like that! He is the one who will comfort you when you received the bad report and no one can help you not even your family or doctors. Jesus is the one who will help you when all you seem to be around is badness yet inside you know this isn’t right and you want out! Jesus is the answer when there seems to be no way out.

Psalm 112:7 “He shall not be afraid of evil tidings; his heart is firmly fixed, trusting (leaning on and being confident) in the Lord. “

Jesus is the answer even if your life is just fine. Jesus is the answer full stop and He is coming back very soon. Will you be with him, have faith, trust and confidence in him or do you disbelieve in Him? Do you trust that He came to save you from the grips of darkness or do you trust in what the world says.. That he doesn’t exist, its just stories… or so what if he did I know better I don’t need him. Do you trust in yourself more than you trust in the Living God? So many people put their confidence and trust in either themselves, people and circumstances only to find out sooner or later that the very things you have trusted in has let you down. Sometimes big time! Jesus will never ever let you down. Why? Because that is not his nature… His nature is LOVE. But He is more than that He actually is LOVE.


And in 1 Corinthians 13:4-8 it says Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails."

This is the New International Version we have studied. But Lets take a look at the New King James Version because it explains things a bit better:

Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails.

This week we will look at “LOVE ALWAYS TRUSTS”






Lets break down what Trust means in the English dictionary:


1. firm belief in the reliability, truth, or ability of someone or something:

As Christians, when you became a Christian you had to believe in your heart that Jesus Christ is Lord and He is part of the trinity Father Son and Holy Ghost. You had to believe if you are re born that as the bible says in John 3:16 “ God so loved the world He gave His only begotten Son that who so ever shall believe on Him shall not perish but have everlasting LIFE (eternal life)”

That is a firm belief in Jesus, what He came here for and what you attain if you believe on HIM… As a Christian you believed in Him that He is reliable, He is the Truth, He has the ability. You have trust in HIM. Jesus. You have Trusted in his word.
In Jesus you can trust but not just in who he is, but what He did as seen by eyes witnesses and recorded through time but also in what He still does today supernaturally. He has the biggest following of people trusting in Him more than any other religion or group still to this day. Why? Because He is real, He can be trusted. He is reliable and if He said you can do something you can. If he said you can have something then you can. His word is full of mighty and precious promises. So what do you have your trust in?

As parents we are in positions of trust to make sure the child has a good up bringing, is safe, healthy. loved and cared for. Jesus is in a position of trust over all of us.. God knew He was the only one who could defeat satan and gain back authority from the dark side. Jesus wants to take care of us, help us grow, protect us, to make us successful. He wants to share mighty and precious things with us. Secrets of heaven, Things this world knows nothing about. Precious Jewels and revelations. He wants to share his LOVE with you, but not just so that you can feel his love, much deeper than that So can see His love being evident in your life and of those who are yours.
 He wants to show you that trusting in the things of this world will not satisfy you and instead will take you away from Him and closer to the dark one. Jesus wants to show you that in Him you can do many things, things you wouldn’t even dream you could do. You could do them why? Because He said so and His ability is in you if you are born again. It bypasses yours and He can work through you. 

Why does Jesus want to work through you? To help other people who are lost. Hurting and going to Hell. Jesus came and paid the price once and for all… ALL means ALL people not just some. It’s a case of who will take His hand and let him enter your heart or who will close off thinking they know best and one day be told “The Kingdom of Heaven has been near to you” but you let it pass you by. Jesus is entrusted with responsibility to love and help us. ALWAYS.



This world and the way it behaves doesn’t know how to trust. You have a legally binding agreement for virtually everything theses days! Why? Because man and his word have been broken over and over again…there is no trust in man. The type of trust you have in a legally binding agreement can still be breached and still is being breached regardless. There is no absolute confidence in that either. This is not the type of trust Gods word means.. When he says “love always trusts“.. That is absolute 100% confidence in…. When God talks about trust.. He means no matter what without wavering.. One hundred percent type of Trust without wavering, breaking, changing your mind or becoming weary. 

A trust that says even if my body is sick and not working the way it should. I am going to trust God and what his word says that Jesus came to heal and you can receive your healing from any illness through trusting in this. Gods type of trust is when your bank account is empty and you have bills that need meeting and no way of paying them.. Trust is this… Trusting in What Gods promises are regarding finances without wavering. Not looking at the situation… not looking at the fact that you have no money… looking and trusting in what is yours. The promises that God has shared in his word for you; The promises Jesus shared and enabled for you to have.

Psalms 71:5 “For You are my hope; O Lord God, You are my trust from my youth and the source of my confidence”

“Love Always Trusts”

Love = God/Jesus Love = Gods nature inside of us when we are born again

Always = Forever no matter what

Trusts = Relies, cleaves to, depends, believes in, has faith in, confidence in :

Jesus Christ, who is the word of God made flesh and dwelt amongst us. John 1
Trust in Gods word.

Proverbs 16:20 “ He who deals wisely and heeds [God's] word and counsel shall find good, and whoever leans on, trusts in, and is confident in the Lord--happy, blessed, and fortunate is he“.
　
“LOVE ( you who are of God if born again) ALWAYS TRUSTS”. Don’t waiver if you are experiences set backs.. Don’t buckle under pressure, Don’t give up when you are almost there. Reach out to Him and put your trust in Him, Our precious wonderful Jesus, the one who will never let you down. I guarantee you do that expect supernatural encounters to occur, Expect miracles to take place. Expect the impossible to be made possible.
　
Trusting in Jesus is a crucial thing to do in this day and age. Time is short and soon all will have to stand before the white throne of God and declare whether you accepted or rejected Jesus.
Question is who have you been listening too? Who have you put your trust in?

Are you ready for the truth?


God Loves you, Jesus died for you. Take His hand and experience His love and power.

1 Corinthians 1:18
"For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God".

05/09/11 What are you looking at? LOVES LIVING WORD MINISTRIES

God Bless you and hello.. I trust you have been well and had a good few weeks.

Here is an update of Loves Living Word Ministries . The month of August has been a busy month.
LLWMUK has been helping a person who was diagnosed with cancer.   They found out that  Jesus Christ came to” heal all who were oppressed of the devil because God was with Him“. Acts 10:38
 
Although the doctors report was not good, through support and hearing the word of God this person is putting themselves in the right position to receive healing from God. He is JEHOVAH RAPHA ( one of his redemptive names) and that means “ The Lord WHO HEALETH THEE”. Contrary to what some people think or have heard, God is not and could never be the bringer of sickness. We are in the New Covenant, a Covenant of Love, Sickness came from the curse see Genesis 1. God sent Jesus back to bring this new covenant because he loves us so much see John 3:16. Gods plan always comes to pass and He wanted to take away authority that man gave to satan who is the bringer of sickness death or anything bad. Healing is the will of God and anyone who has been re awakened/re born and has sickness or illness can approach the throne of God and receive their healing. All it takes is FAITH. When the world system fails it is very reassuring to know that there is a final authority that can take that cancer away if you have faith in HIM. Many people have been healed of cancer all over the world. It is seen on television such as God TV, Trinity Broadcasting Network, Daystar and many more. You just don’t see it on ITV or BBC ONE because the Pharmaceutical companies are making billions upon billions in medicines and keeping the economy going, the powers that be in this world don’t want you to know that there is another source available other than them. Pharmaceuticals is a huge industry. The person LLWMUK has been helping was pleased to meet two people in our fellowship that have been miraculously healed of Cancer. Praise God.

Also this last month LLWMUK has helped a lady who has had the spirit of death trying to steal her life away. This lady had been suicidal. Anyone who experiences thoughts of suicide or self harming both of which this lady was experiencing will find this information good to know. In fact in a lot of cases it is a demon named “the spirit of death“. This situation, praise God has been dealt with by the power of God and his word and the lady is now free of such thoughts and no longer self harms. Depression and oppression come from the oppressor the devil and no other. Many people suffer with such adverse conditions and Jesus is the only answer. He enables you with his strength and not your own to shut the doors to the demonic strongholds ( legal rights to your life) and in turn, He can free you of many disorders such as Bi polar, Depression or any mental illness. This lady is very grateful and is on the road to recovery as long as she stays in Gods will and keeps those doors shut!!!!
There is a great scripture to speak out concerning this for anyone who ever experiences such things in 2 Timothy 1:7” For the Lord did not give you a spirit of fear but of LOVE, POWER AND SOUND MIND“.
 Speaking Gods word out in situations like this is the key. His word is alive, It is living, it is a seed. It is a two edged sword. See Hebrews 4:12.
That is a weapon, the sharpest and most deadly of all swords and when its spoken out it is a killing weapon against any demon that dare try cause you problems in your life.
The lady had suffered from demonic oppression since childhood but it grew stronger as she opened doors to the occult realm with tarot readings and such. The occult has now been renounced and the doors are shut. Praise God.
LLWMUK has helped another Girl who watched “insidious” a movie with her partner. Almost immediately after they started experiencing many terrible things happening to them. The guy was beaten up very badly to the point of being left un conscious and has had to a month off work to recover. His partner had experienced many bad situations to the point of loosing her home and had been very low. I am pleased to say with a small amount of help from LLWMUK and most of the help from God their situation has turned around and the doors that they had opened to the dark side are once again shut. Their eyes are opened and peace has now entered into their lives once again. There will be testimonies shortly on the You tube channel. Loves Living Word Ministries UK will be interviewing people who are ready to share their experiences on how God has helped them through the ministry. What happened to the last couple is without doubt due to doors opened to the demonic realm by watching the movie about demons and possession also the guy smoked cannabis. These are major doors for the demons to gain more entry into your life and have a legal right to harass and cause you harm. That is the demons sole goal. It is to kill steal and destroy as said in John 10:10. But the good news is this. No demon has any authority over a born again Holy Spirit filled person of God. Jesus said in John 10:10 “satan comes but to Kill, Steal and Destroy but “I have come that you might have LIFE and have it in all its fullness.” So a heads up really if you are going to watch such movies about spirits, demons and possessions then you ARE OPENING DOORS to the demonic realm to harass and try ruin your life. Its NO JOKE, now you cant say you haven’t been warned! Its real more real than you could ever imagine. Why else do you think the movies are made in the first place. Gods word says in
Mathew 6:22-23 says

"The lamp of the body is the eye. If, then, your eye is simple ( looking on good things), your whole body will be bright; but if your eye is wicked (looking on dark things), your whole body will be dark. If in reality the light that is in you is darkness, how great that darkness is!"

There is a famous saying…
“The eyes are the windows of the soul“.

Lets break this down. We know what our eyes are and what they do for us. They enable us to see, to get about, do things, read, dance, drive, write, see colour, words, the list goes on. They enable our body to be able to function fully. Without them we are very limited and in darkness. Imagine living in darkness, no vision or colour at all. No light, No view of where you are walking, not even able to see what you look like other than going off touch and someone describing it to you. This is how important your eyes are in the natural realm.
Windows--- lets break this down. A window is something you have in place, it’s an opening yet it shields. It enables to you to see through it, so you have a view of the other side. Lets take a look at a dictionary meaning:
This seemed a good explanation from a the free dictionary online: a. An opening constructed in a wall or roof that functions to admit light or air to an enclosure and is often framed and spanned with glass mounted to permit opening and closing. In this case the eyes of the body are basically this:
An opening that functions to admit light or air to the body. Note it doesn’t say to admit darkness? No it says to admit Light ( good things) not darkness such as bad movies, badness or evil of any kind. The eyes are the lamp unto the body Mathew 6:22. A lamp is something that brings light, it provides direction, ability to see, enables you to be able to do anything as without light its very difficult. Mathew 6:22 says our eyes are the Lamp to the body. So if the lamp is turned off or turned down by darkness and what you are around and feeding yourself with then Mathew 6:22-23 says that the whole body will become dark, it will be filled with darkness and how dark it shall be.

This is why it is so important what you allow yourself and your children to be around. Darkness destroys, Light brings life.
Now we already know if you have followed any of the teaching at LLWMUK that the soul consists of three things. It is you Mind ( power to know) your Will ( power to Choose) and your Emotions ( power to feel/sense).
The soul comes from the Greek word Psuche which is where the word Psychology in the English language comes from today. The souls is part of a humans three part being. We are a Spirit ( eternal being) We have a Soul ( Mind Will and Emotions) and We Live in a Body ( this perishes).
The scripture Mathew 6:22 is referring to our body and what is within our body. We have a spirit and soul in there. Jesus said we are to look upon good things not bad things, we are to fill ourselves with light and not darkness. He didn’t say it for His benefit but ours. Why? Because our bodies will become corrupt if fed on darkness so will our soul. Darkness is not of God for he is LIGHT as said in 1John 1:5 “God is Light in Him there is NO darkness”

James 1:17 “Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.”
　

If you are surrounded by darkness and watching those types of things then you can expect stuff like I have just described to go on in your life. This is nothing new it has gone on for hundreds of years. Set your eyes ( which are the lamp to the body- the windows of the soul - Your emotions, Mind and Will) on good things, keep your self in Light because if you are watching dark stuff you are feeding your soul and body darkness and I guarantee you will be behaving that way too. Jealousy, nastiness, uncaring, selfish, slanderous at the least. Its fact that murderers and child abusers watch and surround themselves with dark stuff like this. Why? Its feeding them. Be careful what you watch and listen to. Its fact that children who play violent games become immune to violence and either become aggressive themselves, or are not fazed at such things thinking this is normal. It is not normal. Just like a person who was brought up around domestic violence as a child or sexual abuse becomes an abuser themselves in a lot of cases. Its very rare that the pattern does not continue, Why? You are what you are hanging around with and watching or hearing. On some occasions those who are stronger and have help can turn the whole situation around and actually help others who go through such things. This is called VICTORY against the dark side. On other occasions they may not actually abuse themselves but find they are weak and go into co dependent relationships and destructive lifestyles. ( you will find this in any Psychology or Medical study) It is so important what you are brought up around and what you actually entertain yourself by. If you have had an unfortunate up bringing don’t despair, Jesus is waiting to heal all of this and take all the negativity away. If you have buried all this very deep, you know to well that it doesn’t go away and it does come out one way or another. There are triggers, yet people try and mask it with drink or drugs rather than face the reality. The great news is that you don’t have to re live this, You don’t have to regress as a child to heal or talk about it. Jesus will work from the inside out of you, silently most of the time without you even being aware to a point where it doesn’t bother you anymore and you are strong enough to cope with it and forgive and forget. You will be able to live free from such traumas that were not meant for you in the first place. Take his hand and let Jesus heal these wounds should you have them.
Jesus is waiting to help you change your future for anyone who has suffered such terrible things. It may seem easier to bury it deep but if its not dealt with it will come out someway. There is no need for pain, Jesus is not the bringer of pain or sadness only Peace and joy/happiness beyond anything you can ever imagine. If anything like that did happen to you, of course you will know that those things that happened were out of your control as a child. It was satanic, the very thing that people go to for readings today! The very thing people hang on to their every word from! Jesus will heal all those terrible wounds and shut doors to these demonic strong holds and patterns that may have been conformed in your life as a result.
If you have faith in him and call out to him He will be right there and begin the healing process. You will be changed, restored, transformed, stronger, wiser and able more able than you have ever been and prepared for anything. You have this right. This is one of the many reasons Jesus came to earth and died on the cross. He died and suffered the most terrible death and torture so that you no longer have to suffer but also your children and their children don’t have to suffer either. . God has always had a very different plan for you see  
Jeremiah 1:5 It says this “ Before you were formed in the womb I knew you”
 That means God knew you before you were even formed in your mothers belly. Did you know that before you were formed God named you too? Your parents may have chosen the name but it did come from GOD! Names in the Hebrew culture are very important. Do research and see what your name means. I think you will find you will be surprised. How ever I must say that its ok to look up what your name means for intrigue after all it is your name but astrology and all the other stuff like it is not FULL TRUTH. Always stick with the bible and Gods word. God is very clear on astrology and the like, Jesus came back to show you the truth, He said “you shall know the TRUTH and the truth shall set you free“.
It saddens me to see so many peoples lives stolen and destroyed through lack of knowledge of the TRUTH.
It is said my people are destroyed through lack of Knowledge in Hosea

I see countless people who have been to psychics or mediums or the like and have hung on to their every word, they have been impressed because they have shown them they know bits about them and the Psychic says many future events and the persons hold on to this, I can talk boldly about this as I was a very “so call gifted” medium and Psychic!!! The person talks about what the Psychic has shared and eventually finds that it didn’t happen fully like the fortune teller said or in fact mayhem erupted instead. They kept out many parts such as severe illness, deaths, marriage breakdowns, Job losses. There is another way a fortune teller ( who is being used by a spirit of divination) will work, they falsely prophecy that you will loose your job or your partner or someone was going to get ill or die in extreme cases . And you know what they are doing they are lying, They are demon spirits operating through the person possessed by a spirit of divination and once spoken and you accept it, it brings about a stronghold in your life, Once the person has been told these things they believe it no matter what, They talk about it to their mates, they have faith in that very thing that was supposedly going to happen and guess what they have just given the demon authority to do just that. Guarantee if its negative and you except it, it most likely will happen. You have just given access to demons to bring it about. Spirits of divination cant bring about anything good, they may say good things are coming and it may appear that for a while they are but it wont last! The devil is the father of lies Jesus said. Its true. This is why it is so important to stay away from such things. Ever wonder why after you have seen a medium or psychic all hell breaks loose in your life, a run of events happen one after the other where you just put it down to bad luck? Wrong!

 It’s the door you have just opened to the demonic realm. People say oh he is brilliant or she knew so much.. You have no idea that this is just a small portion of the Truth. These people may be well meaning people, unaware like in my case that they have in fact a spirit of divination attached to them. I thought it was My gifts, My ability as I was like this from a child. Wrong. I found this out when the thing left me with the help of Jesus Christ the only one who can help you. I could not do half as much as I could. I did however have gifting from God and God replaced the demon gifting to His. You know what that is real power.
 Supernatural power able to help and has helped and freed many so far! The bible is very clear on the subject of fortune tellers, They are called familiar spirits also, they hang around people, sometimes years and yes they can say what you did last week at that shop or what happened at the restaurant with your pal. They can reveal your family members and friends or acquaintances. They are spirit beings invisible ones at that and have an eternity of time to hang around families. Hence the word familiar spirits! LLWMUK has helped many who has been in touch with mediums and psychics, mostly the people are unaware of what the bible states about them and they only find out when things have got so out of hand that they cant deny that there are supernatural forces at work. Don’t get the stage many have, get out while you have been blessed and warned! STAY WAY FROM IT! Take a look at This….

Leviticus 19:31 “Do not turn to mediums or seek out spiritist’s, for you will be defiled by them. I am the LORD your God “

Saul, Israel’s first King. Started out well..

1 Samuel 28:3-25 “He expelled mediums and spiritist’s from the land, yet then violated God’s word and his own conscience by consulting a medium” (1 Samuel 28:3-25). His end was tragic (1 Samuel 31:1-6).
　
Leviticus 20:6 “I will set my face against the person who turns to mediums and spiritist’s to prostitute himself by following them, and I will cut him off from his people”
　
Isaiah 8:19 “When men tell you to consult mediums and spiritist’s, who whisper and mutter, should not a people inquire of their God? Why consult the dead on behalf of the living?”

Bible verses warning about astrology

Deuteronomy 4:19 “And when you look up to the sky and see the sun, the moon and the stars—all the heavenly array—do not be enticed into bowing down to them and worshiping things the LORD your God has apportioned to all the nations under heaven”
... and contrary to my command has worshiped other gods, bowing down to them or to the sun or the moon or the stars of the sky (Deuteronomy 17:3).

Isaiah 47:13-15 “All the counsel you have received has only worn you out! Let your astrologers come forward, those stargazers who make predictions month by month, let them save you from what is coming upon you. Surely they are like stubble; the fire will burn them up. They cannot even save themselves from the power of the flame. Here are no coals to warm anyone; here is no fire to sit by. That is all they can do for you—these you have labored with and trafficked with since childhood. Each of them goes on in his error; there is not one that can save you”.

Jeremiah 10:1-2 “Hear what the LORD says to you, O house of Israel. This is what the LORD says: "Do not learn the ways of the nations or be terrified by signs in the sky, though the nations are terrified by them"

Daniel 1:20 “In every matter of wisdom and understanding about which the king questioned them, he found them ten times better than all the magicians and enchanters in his whole kingdom”.

Bible verses warnings about divination, sorcery and magic charms

Do not practice divination or sorcery (Leviticus 19:26). (A diviner is a modern day psychic)

Ezekiel 13:20 “Therefore this is what the Sovereign LORD says: I am against your magic charms with which you ensnare people like birds and I will tear them from your arms; I will set free the people that you ensnare like birds.”

Zechariah 10:2 “The idols speak deceit, diviners see visions that lie; they tell dreams that are false, they give comfort in vain. Therefore the people wander like sheep oppressed for lack of a shepherd.”

Malachi 3:5 "So I will come near to you for judgment. I will be quick to testify against sorcerers, adulterers and perjurers, against those who defraud laborers of their wages, who oppress the widows and the fatherless, and deprive aliens of justice, but do not fear me," says the LORD Almighty.

You want prophecy that will come to pass? Experience it from God who is pure love, That will change your life and put you on the right path instead of the wrong one that the devil wants to steer you towards I suggest you get to a supernatural spirit filled church. People get impressed by a psychic, id be interested to see how you would react if you sought God. He is the ULTIMATE spirit and Prophecy teller. He uses men and women all over the world to share what He wants you to know. All of which is for your benefit, all is truth and not any deceit or harm. I call anyone who is reading this to WAKE UP and accept Christ into your life before it is too Late. Amen. This is why this message is sent out today. Your life is worth everything to your Father in Heaven and Jesus. He has sent the Holy Spirit to be your guide, your support, your helper, your advocate, your intercessor. This is why you are reading this message NOW! God is showing you truth! The spirit of Death and lies is ever present in this world seeking who he may deceive and devour….. Don’t shrug your shoulders, Think bad of the message bringer, don’t ignore the truth! You don’t know until you have approached God do you! Don’t call what you haven’t even tried or right it off, that is ignorance and blindness. ….Be vigilant, Be wise, Be in Control!
The bible is clear on this is in 1 Peter 5:8 “ Be sober and vigilant for your adversary ( enemy) the devil roams around like a roaring Lion seeking whom he may devour”
 
The Holy Spirit is right here to show you the truth. Jesus came to set you free so you could see that truth and live in it for you, your family, your kids, their kids and so on. Don’t take the easy route because you think it may seem easier now, You don’t know what’s ahead! Don’t miss this opportunity to live and walk in the truth. One day you will be in it whether you believe now or not Question which side are you on? Your own? Light or darkness? There is either light or darkness there is no in between. Hell is a very dark place, you don’t have to go there. God is calling you.
Be vigilant, Be watchful the signs of the anti Christ are ever present in this world. Just as Jesus has given you many signs. He’s calling you RIGHT NOW!

Are you going to just walk by? And continue in spiritual darkness? No matter how much it is dressed up as light or gives you superficial pleasure that doesn’t last?. Time will show you this is false. Jesus is calling you, Take this opportunity to study what has been said to be true. Don’t just take my word for it. Seek Jesus, seek God, I guarantee you wont be disappointed.

Read the bible start with the New Testament and discover all the truths about the spirit of death and how Jesus over came it. How He and his disciples raised many people from the dead. How Jesus went about healing all who were oppressed of the devil. How blind men and women regained their sight. How the lame born with the palsy walked. How many of his prophets alone defeated raging armies of the evil one for God was with them. How miracle after miracle occurred in the believers life. How people who were in bondage ( things that held them in chains) where supernaturally set free. How people with the hardest of hearts had their hearts softened by a touch of Gods love. You will see in the bible that men and women of all ages came into contact with the Almighty God, they saw seas part, chariots of Angels behind them in battle, they saw demons being cast out of many people, freeing men, women and children. You will see the adversary the devil working in the bible and his defeat by Jesus Christ alone. You will see how the devil failed over and over again against men and women of faith WHY? God was with them!! You will see in the bible that it is not just an old boring Book. Its ALIVE, SUPERNATURAL, it can change any circumstance that you are facing around, It can change things that this world could never help change, It can help you and aid you against anything that comes in your path but not only will it bring you wisdom from the ULTIMATE SPIRIT. You will possess access to the Kingdom of heaven and bypass that awful place set aside for the wicked. (The ones who choose to ignore God). The bible is Gods LIVING word… It hold the keys to LIFE and shows you how to stay away from death. ( spiritual death we are an eternal being/spirit). The bible has the keys to prosperity which is much more than just finances, Its mean success in all areas. The bible holds many mysteries and secrets and they are given freely to all who come to Him. God communicates to you through this book, it is SUPERNATURAL,!
You open that bible and start to read and ask God to help you even if you are not saved. He will show you just what you need to hear!. This is the ultimate BOOK of PROPHECY. The bible has foretold what is to come in this world and guess what it has been coming to pass ( happening) for 2000 years. The HOLY SPIRIT is bigger than any spirit and especially the spirit of death. I am sent to tell you today you don’t have to be subject to the spirit of death but the spirit of LIFE. JESUS IS LIFE.

 All the people LLWMUK has helped this month have had connections with the occult, either via Movies, Readings, drugs, excessive drink, generational curses. Guard what you are around! Praise God the people that have been shown the truth and aided are no longer in darkness. Be careful what you watch and what you read. Don’t believe the stuff in magazines and news papers, do some research you will find that they are full of fabrications and lies! Even down to the images and photography. The Only full truth is the bible. The holy Spirit will show you and help you how to interpret it!

Gods word says this. “Guard your heart with all diligence because out of it flows the issues of LIFE”

To guard something you are: Alert, watchful, cautious. It is something that gives protection. You are safe guarding. To protect from harm.
In Sport to guard is a defensive position in boxing or fencing. it’s a stance
Your heart is on the inside of you…. Your heart is your soul and spirit.. Without your heart functioning you will die. God was saying that you must guard your heart with all diligence.
Diligence in the English Dictionary means “to be done with proper care, industriously!” That means more than anything else!
The next part of Proverbs 4:23 says this “because out of it flows the issues of life”.

Question is are you Guarding your heart with all diligence or are you wide open to the darkness in this world… You have a choice chose wisely.

We will go back to the end of 1 Corinthians 13:4-8 next week.

Are you ready for the truth?

God Bless you. Loves Living Word Ministries  has had a break from these teachings as of summer holidays and quality time with my Beautiful son.

Jesus Loves you. He died just for you, To set you free from pain suffering and deception.


Question is ARE YOU READY FOR THE TRUTH?

Love

16/07/2011 LOVE always protects, LOVE always bears up. 1 Corinthians 13:4-8

God Bless you this week. I hope you have had a wonderful time of late.
Loves Living Word Ministries UK has been blessed. God always puts the right people just at the right time in your way. Praise God for His blessings and faithfulness. Sometimes we may have to start out not knowing where things will lead us. We have to use our faith and just trust in what God and what your spirit confirms regarding moving in a certain direction. It may seem like it is so far out of reach and crazy to many. You may come up against opposition even from people you don’t expect. You may find that you have no help from anyone, and wonder why? You may find that people are present and watching yet they do nothing to help the vision come into being and again wonder why? Never ever get discouraged; God is the one who will elevate and make it happen NEVER man. Man can aid in the process but primarily it is God who is the source. Some of the time you will find people will have nothing good to say about the vision especially if you are young in the Lord. Don’t let this deter you from what God has shared with you. Go forward with God in Faith even if you don’t know your next step. God does and if you have faith in Him; He will bring exactly what you need just in time. This is living by Faith and as God is a God of Faith and we as His children of Righteousness are to live by faith as said in Romans 1:17. Living by faith is believing in things that are not seen, this is sometimes difficult to do when you have only had a word from the Lord and things have not seemed to move anywhere for a long time. Be assured if you are walking in Gods ways, things are without doubt moving behind the scenes in the spirit realm making way for it to manifest down in this realm. God hears your worship, your prayer and he knows your heart. He sees faithfulness over billions of unfaithful and scripture says we are to walk by faith and not by sight. Even in your darkest hour God has his hands on you always, no matter what you do or ever could do. So hold on to that vision or that burden in your heart, take small steps every day moving forwards towards that goal. Even if it is just spending time with the LORD. The more you spend time with him the more you get to know him. There is no greater than that! Be blessed this weekend and know that God rewards those who are faithful to Him, be assured that He does see and will bloom those seeds you have sown. Don’t grow weary, forge forward in Faith and Victory because the battle has already been won. It was done over 2000 years ago and its yours for the taking if you are in Christ. Reach out to Him today, release your fears and worries and hold on to your hats because God is about to do tremendous things with those who reverently and worshipfully fear him. Amen.

This week We are continuing with the series on 1 Corinthians 13:4-8

"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails."
This is the New living translation we have studied. But Lets take a look at the New King James Version because it explains things a bit better:

Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails.
　
Today will are going to continue our study of “Love always protects” ( as said in the New Living Translation and in the New King James Version it says “Love bears all things”
We are going to study in a different direction today, we are going to study what the Greek and English words of the scripture and see in depth what the words in scripture actually mean this expands the scripture tremendously and we shall see through Holy Spirits choice of wording how important each individual word the Holy Spirit and its author uses.

Firstly lets take a look at the Greek word for both Protects and Bears:
Protect and bear means in the Greek Stego and it means to:
1. deck, thatch, to cover ( as in your home or something)
to protect or keep by covering, to preserve
2. by covering to keep off something which threatens, to bear up against, hold out against, and so endure, bear, forbear
Here we see that The Holy Ghost is saying that when Love protects all things or Love bears up all things He is saying that Love covers, protects, preserves.
This shows that Love is powerful as we have already seen in previous blogs.

Lets take a look at what the word covers actually means.
Cover in the English dictionary means: To hide, To clothe, to protect, to screen
So Love Hides us, clothes us, protects us and screens us. That’s powerful!

To be hidden from what? The enemy and his strategies and the darts of the evil one, as said in Ephesians 6:6
Lets take a look at Psalm 28:7 “The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in him, and I am helped: therefore my heart greatly rejoices; and with my song will I praise him.”

And Psalm 18:2 “The LORD is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer; my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge. He is my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.”

Psalms 144:2 ”He is my loving God and my fortress, my stronghold and my deliverer, my shield, in whom I take refuge, who subdues peoples under me.”

In the Old testament and the times of the prophet Samuel; David who was King of Israel sang many beautiful songs to the lord, on this occasion the Lord had just delivered him from the hands of ALL his enemies its says and from the hand of Saul the previous King.
In 2 Samuel 22:31 it says David sang "As for God, his way is perfect; the word of the LORD is truth. He is a shield for all who take refuge in him".
The lord wants to shield you from anything you are facing or with ever face. He is the only one who can shield you from sickness, poverty, strife etc. all these things do not come from God but the evil one. Praise God we can be hidden and shielded from such things. This is why its so important to be faithful to him so He can cover you. Love hides us/shields us through our FAITH in HIM
LOVE Clothes

Clothe in English Dictionary literally means: to invest, to cover
1. We are to put on, to wear. Provide with clothes or put clothes on
2. To furnish with power or authority; of kings or emperors

Love clothes us with what? This is an interesting one, We are clothed in Gods glory firstly;

Psalms 3:3 “ But you are a shield around me, O LORD; you bestow glory on me and lift up my head.”
Peter a disciple who walked with Christ wrote to believers through the Holy Spirit, he talked about hanging on in Christ he encouraged us though hard times. He said this:

1 Peter 4:14 If you are insulted because of the name of Christ, you are blessed, for the Spirit of glory and of God rests on you. ( this has happened to billions of us who love and walk with Christ)! Why the world doesn’t understand what it cant yet see!. YET!

When we accept Christ His glory comes to live inside us by the Holy Spirit but when we pray and worship him it calls the glory, His glory upon ( which means inside) us. Many times in the bible has the glory of the Lord come upon people. In the Old testament the glory of God used to come down from heaven either dwelling in the temple as in 1 Kings 8:10 when Solomon finished the temple. Gods glory came down on mount Sinai with Moses in Exodus 24:15-18 His spirit came on many people, this is how the bible was written but it wasn’t permanent as it is in our covenant with him. Now in the New testament we have a precious gift. The Holy Spirit coming to live on the inside of us as we have seen in previous blogs. This means his glory is in and upon us.
　
In Acts 1:4,8, Jesus instructed His disciples not to go forth preaching and teaching until they received "the promise of the Father," which was the indwelling of the Holy Spirit.

Romans 5:5 says “ Now hope does not disappoint, because the LOVE of GOD had been poured into our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us".
　
So LOVE clothes us with His glory, and when in Christ His glory lives in us.
In Ephesians The apostle Paul shared one of the most important messages against spiritual warfare He said this.
Ephesians 6:11 “ Put on the whole Armour of God so you can withstand the wiles and deceit of the devil” it carries on to say “for we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities ( fallen angels/demons) against Powers (fallen angels and demons) against the rulers of darkness, against spiritual host of wickedness in high places ( spirits ruling the air /atmosphere).
When we are in Christ as you have learnt last week you are given the gift of righteousness. When you are walking in his ways and not sinning you are not exposed to the enemy and his demons and therefore you are fully clothed with the full armour of God. As soon as you step out of his protection ( armour) then you are wide open to the enemy and his attacks. Don’t get me wrong even with the full armour the enemy will attack but as the scripture says stand you will be able to do so and it wont do too much damage. Paul and the Holy Spirit emphasised the word against each time they mentioned a demonic rank.
The “Against” in the scripture is taken from the word Pros and this means a forward position or face to face. So basically He was saying that we come “face to face with” and then he listed the rank of demons. Each as despicable and foul as each other. Starting with the highest rank first. Praise God He has given u the armour to be able to withstand and defeat coming face to face with such evil spirits!

Lets take a quick look at what “The armour of God” is. This is full armour to help you against the trickery and deceit ( whiles) of the devil. God is so Good He keeps on giving, Freely. Its says “put on”
Meaning to apply, to clothe, to add, to produce.

We are clothed with The Helmet of Salvation ( when you accept Christ/ Eternal salvation, but also being saved here in this life on earth too) The Helmet protects your mind as you re new it to the word of God and you keep out the attacks of the enemy. He attacks your mind, thought processes. The Helmet Paul was talking about was a Roman Helmet. It was very extravagant, beautiful and shiny. Nothing could pierce it as it was solid! You knew The Roman soldier was coming a long way off Because of the Red elivated centre pice. JUST as the darkone knows someone who is sealed with the HOLY GHOST! Ephesians 2:8-10

Jesus is our Savoir meaning “ one who rescues us from evil”

Save in English Dictionary means: to bring SAFE out of evil, to rescue, to bring out of danger, To protect (there is that word again in conjunction with the meaning of the word Cover) (Love covers which we are studying!) Love covers protects and preserves. Save also means To preserve (again the same word as earlier).

In Greek means Sozo = to save, keep safe and sound, to rescue from danger or destruction To make whole, To heal.

Salvation in English dictionary means: protected from harm, risk, loss destruction.
Lets take a look at the route word in Greek: Salvation means Soteria
This means deliverance, preservation, safety, healing,

Salvation is so much more than your eternal place in Heaven. Jesus knows the struggles was face whilst here on earth. it’s a fallen world, Cursed, That’s why He came back. To Save us. A Free Gift of LOVE. He gave us the Helmet of Salvation which cannot be pierced, no demon is getting in. When you know who you are in Christ, you are confident about your Salvation. This means you will be walking powerfully in the reality of your salvation. And I guarantee people will notice this! Just as you would notice the extravagant and beautiful helmet the Roman soldier wore!

We are Clothed with The Breast plate of Righteousness ( your legal position in Christ now you are saved) PURE, in Right standing with God no matter what!) 2 Corinthians 5:21 We learnt about Righteousness last week, lets share a small amount more here! When you know you are forgiven and in right standing with God once again. Redeemed from the curse and no longer separated from him; there is something that is noticeably different about you. You will walk with your chest out and head held high. No condemnation that the world and people try to bring you. A Roman soldiers armour the breast plate was huge and Bright, imagine the sun shining off it as they walked, It would blind their enemies. Walk in the brightness and boldness of your position in Christ.   This is a little of what the breast plate of Righteousness brings in,   Read last weeks blog!

We are Clothed with The Sword of the Spirit ( this is Gods word, His word is creative Power, it is God talking to us, Hebrews 4:12 says “its alive and powerful“.When you use this things change and happen in this realm and the spirit realm. IT IS SO POWERFUL. it’s a book of LIVING seeds. Hence the Ministry name LOVES LIVING WORD MINISTRIES . Seeds do what? They grow if fed, watered and given light. They need to be put in good moist fertile soil. Gods word if you attend to it and study it does just that. It provides you with a solid ground in your life. Spirit Soul and Body.. It is the very thing the enemy ( devil) has tried to get people to dis believe from the very beginning. The word of God is what nations have been built on although as we are now at the end of an era of grace. Satan has made sure that the word of God is not central in many nations. The word of God stands forever whether he did this or not. Heaven and earth shall pass away scripture says but the word of God shall stand forever. Why? Because Gods word cannot be moved, changed, broken or destroyed.  HE IS LIFE itself, HE IS LOVE itself. He spoke and the world came into being. He spoke and the trees and the flowers sprouted. He made us speaking spirits just as He is. WHY? Because if we speak His word into being there is POWER and things will change. Circumstances will change. Proverbs 4:20 " Attend to my words, incline your ear to my saying, for they are LIFE to those that find them and health to ALL their flesh". Gods word is LIFE.

We are clothed with The Loin Belt of Truth. This is walking in the truth, Gods word is the TRUTH. Instead of walking in the deception that is upon the world, Gods light is shining! Without being fixed in his word and walking in this truth, without having your loins girt with the truth as scripture says, It is impossible for all the other armour to stand in place. The belt holds the sword, the shield is attached to it, the breast place and the belt are attached  and lance at the back. Its the major piece that keeps all the others in place! John 8:31-32 Jesus said "you shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free” Walk and live in His truth, have your Loins gurt with the truth.!

Free in English dictionary means: Not bound, ( with the curse you are bound to the enemy as his power of you) Free also means at liberty ( freedom)
Jesus also said in John 16:25 that "the spirit of truth will come". ( he was talking to his disciples and preparing them for when he was about to leave this world) God gift to you, Loves clothes us in Truth.
　
We are clothed with The Shield of faith ( Faith is given as we have seen by God, scripture says we all have a measure of faith. It is up to us to grow in that faith. God lives by Faith and we are made in his image so we too are to live by faith “ the Just shall live by faith” Hebrew 11:1 “Faith is the substance of things hoped the evidence of things not seen" So when things in this world are not happening as Gods word says it should be we are clothed in the shield of Faith. God Hides you with this shield of faith from the fiery darts of the evil one as we saw earlier. For it was by faith that you are saved scripture says. Faith will see you through and shield you from a terrible report from the doctor, Faith in God can change that bad report around. Faith can change any circumstance around and is essential to a persons life and walk with God. He operates by Faith as must we. A Romans soldiers sheild was very large like a door shape covering much of the soldier, it was made put of many layers of thick leather when bound together made a very hard surface. this however needed to be oiled daily by the soldier other wise it would grow brittle and then it would be broken in battle. Just as we need to be oiled by the Holy Spirit daily otherwise our faith would become broken in time! Walk in the re newed faith of God as you oil yourself in the Holy Spirit daily! Nothing will penetrate!


We are clothed in the Shoes of the Gospel of Peace.  The rest of the armour of God will not work properly without shoes. You cannot go into battle without them. Imagine a soldier going on the front line today without shoes? Would he get far? I don’t think so. He would be vulnerable. The shoes of the Gospel of peace are what we now wear when in Christ. He gives us His peace “ Peace I give unto you and Peace I leave with you” as we have already seen in previous blogs and we are able in peace to go and share the gospel with the world as we are meant to. Able to stand against the enemy who will and does try to come up against in you any form He can. We go and share the Gospel not for ourselves, we don’t benefit we are already saved. We Know where we are going after this life and we have the tools down here to get by supernaturally and miraculously against all odds; full of Gods blessings and promises fulfilled! We go to share the gospel, so that everyone has a choice and the opportunity to get set free, saved and experience their walk with their maker instead of separation and the chains/bound that they are in ( unkowningly) at times without him! This is for them alone and their destiny, there is nothing greater than knowing you have helped in share the Gospel “The TRUTH” and peoples lives are set free from the clutches of evil and its destruction of the enemy. ( look around how many messed up people are there)? It doesn’t have to be that way!!!
GOD says that He wishes ALL to come to know TRUTH 1 Timothy 2:4  and that He wishes NON should perish in scripture.( read the bible and find that scripture) If that is Gods will and we have been given a mandate to help them then Praise God what a JOB! I have to say there is nothing better, Your Supernatural, All Powerful, Heavenly, Almighty and Holy God trusts you to go in His name and share the Gospel. Talk about job satisfaction! Its awesome!!!! Being shod (wearing footwear/Clothed) with the Gospel of Peace. Ephesians 6:14-18
To have a healthy walk with God it requires that we have true peace and knowledge with our Lord; we should be “walking” away from the things of the past, problems, people who do harm and “walking” or in my case RUNNING towards the Father. You have the peace of God over circumstances in your life and anything the enemy ( devil) throws your way.
This has been a brief look into the armour of God there is so much more we could have shared here. Have a study for yourself and find out about the armour of God. Without you are not armed as God intended you to be!

1 Corinthians 13:7
“Love always Protects or Loves always Bears up in all things”

The Holy Spirit says Love protects all things or Love bears up all things He is saying that Love covers, protects, preserves as we are studying the meaning of the word protects and bears up.

We are given by the LOVE of God another powerful weapon to CLOTHE ( cover) ourselves with!!

The garment of Praise.

What is Praise?

In English Dictionary it means: To Glorify, to assign value to, to speak highly of, to commend, To extol (to lift up)
The enemy cannot be around a faith believing child of God who is singing and praising their heavenly Father. This is one of the ways that Gods glory and anointing is stirred up and becomes very strong from within and upon. This is why as a corporate body we are to come and worship Father together so we can be unified in spirit as scripture says and the anointing and power of God will grow stronger. The more you worship and praise the more the glory of God rises from within you and others. Many people have been set free by just worshipping and praising God from many different situations, Sickness, addictions, abuse of any kind, a broken heart, The list goes on, The power of God breaks any bondage ( sin or problem) It is too powerful for any demon to stay in its presence. God wants us in the midst of any trail or tribulation that you are facing to Praise him through it. I guarantee that if you take your mind off the circumstance and praise and worship God ( put on the garment of Praise) then that situation is about to and will change. There is POWER In the GARMENT OF PRAISE. However in the natural world, it’s the last thing you would do when you are hurting, faced with terrible circumstances, In fact what normally happens is that people magnify the PROBLEM by talking about it to whoever will listen then they who listened pass that information on to others and they discuss it. ( all this is bringing it about in the atmosphere) our words are powerful, our word is a seed, just as we are, we came from a seed, in fact you will find everything is a seed. So instead of sowing the problem we are to sow the answer which is Gods word and we are to praise Him for who He is. The ALMIGHTY GOD, The ALL POWERFUL ALL KNOWING ALL PRESENT GOD. We are to Love him scripture says that “He loved us first”. You will love him if He has helped you get out of terrible circumstances. Some people havnt been through that ands still love him for who He is. He is PURE LOVE and HOLY and wants to be with you. Don’t walk by! Get to know Him. You will be so glad you did. Things will never be the same again and you will be in the truth not the lie so many are in.
Praising God and Jesus is no doubt like screeching to any demon including the enemy ( the devil). He is the fallen angel who wanted to be magnified, praised, worshipped. We already know he wanted what and who God is and that could never be. He even said to Jesus when He went through the 40 days and nights temptation in the wilderness; I will give you all this ( he showed him all the kingdoms) if you will just bow down and worship me” There is Power in Praise and worship. What did Jesus DO? He came back in response to the enemy and said IT IS WRITTEN and He spoke Gods word which is power and what did satan do? He had to flee! The enemy only has power if you give him it, once you are born again. SO its important to stay with the FULL armour of God on!

In the Old testament David knew the power of Praise He wrote a lot of the psalms in the bible and they are so powerful.
Psalms 103 starts with “Bless the lord oh my soul all that is within me bless his Holy Name” Bless The Lord oh My soul who forgets not His benefits, Who forgives all your iniquities, Who heals all your disease. who redeems my life from destruction, Who crowns me with loving Kindness and tender mercies; who satisfies my mouth with good things so that my youth is renewed like the eagles”
David was declaring that His soul ( his mind will and emotions/feelings) would praise The Almighty God our Father.
You may not feel like praising God when all Hell is breaking loose. But you have the choice, The soul realm is not the pilot of your life if you are born again and you can praise Him with all you have. When you do what David did Your soul realm( mind will emotions) will change. And so will the circumstance.
Same as the story of Paul and Silas in the New Testament of Acts 16.
Paul an apostle of Christ and Silas had preached and taught in Phillipi and done nothing other than this and casting unclean spirits out of people. They had been imprisoned for this, (there was such opposition in the early church just as there is in the end of the church era today!) They were chained in the prison, they were about to be killed the next day. It was their darkest hour scripture says ( how many dark hours have you had?) I have had my fair share that’s for sure ( bedridden without the use of my body and a child running around with no help from anyone was probably one of the worst!) They knew the power of praise and at their darkest hour they started to praise God in the jail cell. Imagine what the other prisoners must have been thinking? There is these two preachers of “the way” singing and praising God whilst in chains ready to be killed the next day. Do you know what happened when they did this? The Glory and power of God showed up. There was a great earthquake scripture says the whole jail shook and immediately the doors flung open and the chains unfastened! The Jailer who was guarding them had been asleep and woke up to find the doors open. He panicked as you would and he was about to kill himself because he thought all the prisoners had escaped. ( as a roman soldier, it would have been better to die by himself then have them kill him which they would have done) He drew His sword and Paul shouted do not harm yourself!!! We are all here!
( Paul and Silas had an opportunity to escape but they didn’t. In fact the soldier saw the power of what praising God had done and trembling with fear he asked Paul and Silas “sirs what I must do to be saved”? they said believe “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved, you and your household.” And they spoke the word of the Lord to him together with all who were in his house. And he took them that very hour of the night and washed their wounds, and immediately he was baptized, he and all his household. And he brought them into his house and set food before them, and rejoiced greatly, having believed in God with his whole household.”
This is the power of Praise, It will set people free. The jailer and his household all got born again and saved through Paul and Silas praising God at their darkest hour. They didn’t despair or give up and say that is it then. Were finished.! They didn’t give up, they looked to God who is the ONLY answer in such circumstances. We face them all the time ( illness, accidents, job losses and the rest) NEVER EVER GIVE UP! You give up, the enemy has won and you will be under the lie. Jesus already stripped him of his power and if you are in Christ you have the power of him too!
Put on (CLOTHE/COVER) The GARMENT OF PRAISE instead a powerful and precious tool your heavenly Father has given you! Love has you covered!

As we saw earlier To Clothe also means “ To Furnish with Power and Authority”

Furnish In English Dictionary means To supply, To equip, to provide
Then we have “with Power and authority“.

Power in Greek means Dunamis. It means- strength, power, ability EXPLOSIVE kind! 
inherent power, power residing in a thing by virtue of its nature, or which a person or thing exerts and puts forth power for performing miracles
moral power and excellence of soul, the power and influence which belong to riches and wealth. Power consisting in or resting upon armies, forces, hosts.

Authority in Greek means Exousia. It means Authority power of choice, liberty physical and mental power. The ability or strength with which one is endued, which he either possesses or exercises. The power of authority (influence) and of right (privilege), the power of rule or government (the power of him whose will and commands must be submitted to by others and obeyed)

So we see that LOVE clothes (Covers) us with all these things and on top we are Furnished with EXPLOSIVE POWER and AUTHORITY. Have a good read at the word meanings of both and you will see what you possess when you live and walk in love. When you abide in Gods LOVE

1 Corinthians 13:7
“Love always Protects or Loves always Bears up in all things”
　
We have been studying the meaning of the word cover which is what both Protect and bear means. We have seen that Gods and His love Hides/shields, it covers, and now lets take a brief look at protects. Its says Gods love always protects.

Protect in the English Dictionary means to: to shield from danger, to defend, to guard and to strengthen.
This is what Gods love does for you, this is what Love does period. You are to do this for people too.

When a person is sharing the gospel of Christ they are trying to protect you from the evil one and the lie and destruction operating in this world. We discussed this earlier.
Protection is what you provide for your family and children if you are decent and a healthy fully functioning family. God is your Father and all he has ever wanted to do is to protect you. He wants to guide and protect you throughout your life. This is part of his job as your dad! You must see him as your Father because that is who is. But He is unable to fully protect you until you come to him and see the truth. He is also unable to fully protect you as we have seen if you are out of his will and not wearing the full armour of God.
Here is just a few protection scriptures from the Psalms in the Old Testament alone; there are hundreds in the bible.

In the psalms it says “The angel of the Lord encamps around those the reverently and worshipfully fear him”
Proverbs 18:10 “ The name of the Lord is a strong tower; the righteous run to it and are safe.”
This is a song we sing when in worship!

Psalm 121:2 “ My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth.”

Psalm 121:3 “He will not let your foot slip, he who watches over you will not slumber.”

Psalm 121:7 “ The Lord will keep you from all harm--he will watch over your life”

Psalm 121:8 “ The Lord will watch over your coming and going both now and for evermore.”

Psalms 91 is a powerful Psalm this should be said daily: have a read for yourself it covers so much. I speak this Psalm a lot!
We are in a better covenant now than the people of the old testament, we are now in His Covenant of LOVE so how much are those who are his children protected! We have many more gifts than the people in the old testament had. We have His precious spirit on the inside of us.

“Greater is He that is in me than He that is of the world” it says in 1 John 4:4

In The Gospels talking to His disciples Jesus said in I will send you another, He was referring to the Holy Spirit who is now in all who believe in Christ , they receive that precious gift when you accept him into your heart as we have seen in previous blogs, Jesus calls him your Comforter, Protector, Helper, advocate, intercessor, guide.
He is there to keep you safe from trouble, harm, the wrong path, wrong decisions, illness and anything you can think of. He will always be by your side and is always ready to guide and protect you. Just like a decent Father or mother does. He is more than a father and mother though. He is like a warring soldier armed and ready and has his Angels at our every side ready to step in as said in Psalm 91 “ for He shall give His angels charge over you to accompany and defend you in all of your ways” did that say ALL! Yes it did. Not just some ALL your ways.
God wont let you down condemn you, judge you, abandon you, this is the nature of the enemy. GODS LOVE IS PURE AND HOLY AND PERFECT. He see’s you that way too when you come to know Christ and walk in his ways. God is right there to defend you. This is His protection.

To defend someone you are maintaining them from attack as it says in the English dictionary. It also says to prohibit, to forbid, to ward off, to resist.

Love does all those things, so we see how important Love really is when the Holy Spirit shared this in 1 Corinthians 13:7 “Loves always Protects” “Loves always bears up” You are completely under His wings and in his arms if you operate in love.

Operating in LOVE is what the enemy can not win against, it defeats his intentions and obliterates his evil. Its so important that you walk in love towards others. You have seen its power.
Gods love “Bears up against all things” and Gods Love “Protects all things!” Nothing can stand against it.

Be Blessed this weekend and we shall continue with the end of the series of 1 Corinthians 13:4-8 next week. We almost there!

To all of you who wish to have a deeper walk and knowledge of God Love say this prayer:
The apostle Paul and the Holy Spirit wrote this in the New testament in Ephesians. If you say this prayer daily the next 6 months your life will have changed for the better and You will be strengthened beyond your wildest dreams, How do I know? I have done it for years. It works. Don’t knock it till you try it!
Personalise this beautiful prayer to you and whoever you wish to add:

Ephesians 3:16-19 “I pray that out of his glorious riches that he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge -- that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God. “
In Jesus Christ Holy Name
Amen
