TAKE ROOT

"Those who come He shall cause to take root in Jacob; Israel shall blossom and bud, and fill the face of the world with fruit." Isaiah 27:6

After an encounter with God, a new creation is born. Then, according to the person's desire, the Holy Spirit comes upon them - an exclusive doing of the Lord Jesus.That's where the passion to win souls comes from.
This passion is the Breath, Wind or Energy of the Spirit propelling his new children to multiply throughout this world.

FAVOR FROM THE LORD

"Blessed are those who listen to me, watching daily at my doors, waiting at my doorway. For those who find me find life and receive favor from the Lord." Proverbs 8:34-35

Those who heed to the Word of God and receive it with all of their heart, allow it's Spirit into their life and it guides them throughout their journey.
Because those who find me, find life and receive favor from the Lord.

THE VERDICT

"This is the verdict: Light has come into the world,  but people loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil." John 3:19

People are judged for their choices. They love darkness because they act according to darkness' evil ways. On the other hand, those who walk in the Light, behave exactly the opposite from those who walk in darkness.

LIGHT OF THE WORLD

"You are the light of the world..." Matthew 5:14

Light is energy. Those who are born of the Holy Spirit are the Divine energy in this world. Why? What's their purpose?
When Jesus was on Earth, he gave life to the dead, enlightened those who were in darkness and lifted up the fallen. Those who are born of God have a mission, which is to give the most of themselves in favor of rescuing those who are in the darkness.

READY TO FORGIVE

"Behold, the Lord's hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; nor His ear heavy, that it cannot hear."          Isaiah 59:1

God's hand is not shortened to those who reach out for help and He is not deaf that He cannot hear those who call upon Him. He is always waiting with open arms, ready to forgive and attend to the cry of the afflicted. His mercy is infinite.

THE CHOICE IS YOURS

"I call heaven and earth as witnesses today against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing; therefore choose life, that both you and your descendants may live..." Deuteronomy 30:19

Heaven and Earth are witnesses of how God divinely gives mankind an opportunity to be redeemed from their sins and be born again. The rocks split after the sacrifice of the Son of God. No one there could have said that they didn't know. That’s why we've been given the free will to choose between life or eternal death.

ALL OR NOTHING

"No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money."  Luke 16:13

You must surrender your life to God 100%. Even if you leave out a mere .0001%, that small percentage will eventually try to serve another master.  With God it's all or nothing. Especially because the Holy Spirit isn't out-poured in quantities. He gives 100%. Therefore, if He gives 100% of Himself, He has the right to demand that we give 100% of ourselves.

CONFIDENCE

"For thus says the Lord God, the Holy One of Israel: 'In returning and rest you shall be saved; in quietness and confidence shall be your strength.' But you would not..."   Isaiah 30:15

When you turn away from evil, you move toward inner peace.  But our strength comes from the tranquility and confidence found in the Word of the God of Abraham, Isaac and Israel. 

FRIEND OF THE WORLD

"Whoever therefore wants to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God." James 4:4

Those who know the Road to salvation but are drawn to what this world has to offer, are by choice, distancing themselves away from God. Jesus gave one hundred percent of Himself in favor of us sinners; therefore, He requires us to surrender wholeheartedly to Him.    

FAMINE OF HEARING

"Behold, the days are coming," says the Lord God, "That I will send a famine on the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the Lord."Amos 8:11

Those who have been called, hunger for the Word of God. But, the chosen are the ones who put it into practice. To them, the arm of the Lord has been revealed.

SAFETY

"And you would be secure, because there is hope; yes, you would dig around you, and take your rest in safety."Job 11:18

Only those who are born of God can safely live in such an unsafe world. The assurance that salvation brings gives us inner peace, even in the face of our greatest adversity. Oh! How I wish everyone would understand that!...

IF...

 "...if My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land."2 Chronicles 7:14

Divine promises are always conditional. Whoever wants to be heard, forgiven and healed must turn from their evil ways. It is a personal and non-negotiable action.
What good is it to have faith in Jesus, be active in the church, read the Bible, pray, fast, be a faithful tither and continue living in sin?

DISCERNMENT

"For with you is the fountain of life; in your light we see light."Psalm 36:9

Existence began with light. Life begins with light. Only those who are truly born of the Spirit of God have the Light of eternal life. As a result, they are able to discern what is good and what is bad for their life.

KEEP WATCH WHEN TROUBLE COMES

"If you give up when trouble comes, it shows that you are weak. Save those who are being led to their death; rescue those who are about to be killed." Proverbs 24:10-11

If you keep watch when trouble comes, you will remain steadfast in the faith. And the energy you receive from God will help you rescue those who are about to be killed.

THE WISE

"Wisdom is in the sight of him who has understanding, but the eyes of a fool are on the ends of the earth." Proverbs 17:24

Those who meditate on God's Word will receive His wisdom. But foolish men despise the Almighty's knowledge and spend their life chasing the wind. Sooner or later they will fall into obscurity.

Confession of Faith

“For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.” Romans 10:10

The miracle of salvation is in confessing and living what one believes.

Words emit energy; the energy of faith.

Those who accept the Word of God and practice it are the ones who believe. To these the Power of God is revealed.

I AM WITH YOU

"When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze."Isaiah 43:2

The Word of God shows that He does not keep us from being cast into the furnace, but that He will deliver us from inside the furnace. The Bible makes it very clear, problems will come to us all; however, the righteous never stand alone. The Spirit of God sustains His people.

AFFLICTION

"He delivers the poor in their affliction and opens their ears in oppression." Job 36:15

If the man hadn't been born blind, he wouldn't have known the Lord Jesus.
If there wasn't a Goliath, David wouldn't have been who he was.
God allows certain afflictions and oppressions, so that mankind can keep their ears open to His voice. 

FEAR, FEAR AND FEAR...

“The fear of the LORD is a fountain of life, to turn one away from the snares of death."  Proverbs 14:27

When people no longer fear God, they’re driven towards violence, corruption and death. But, the sense of well-being and success blinds the wicked from understanding this.

However, the faithful, those who turn away from evil and have practiced the Word of God have life, peace and above all, the guarantee of eternal life.

Fervor in darkness

“I am the light of the world. He who follows me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life.” John 8:12

It does not matter the religion or denomination. It doesn’t matter if a Christian has a fervent faith, if he is insecure, nervous, disoriented is because he is living in darkness. This is a clear sign of the absence of the Lord Jesus in his life.

Bad Cake

“But He answered and said, every plant which My heavenly Father has not planted will be uprooted.” Matthew 15:13

The plant that is not planted by God-The Father is sown by the devil. Sooner or later, it will be uprooted.

This is true about the hypocritical Pharisees who have been preaching what they don’t live, but have lived according to their own understanding.

We need to be extremely careful as to not get contaminated by their leaven (doctrines), for they have been true manufacturers of 'bad cakes'. They are blind, leading the blind.

Never Forsaken

“I have been young, an now am old; yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his descendants begging bread.” Psalm 37:25

Faithfulness to God, to marriage and constancy in faith has great worth before God. But the character of the righteous goes far beyond that. He sees as God sees, thinks as God thinks, he does things as God would if He were in his place, he lives according to God’s will. This is the one who is anointed by the Holy Spirit! This is the righteous David is referring to and who will never be forsaken!

Establish the just

“Oh, let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end, but establish the just; for the righteous God tests the hearts and minds.” Psalm 7:9

The problems and difficulties that the people of God have been going through are experiences to cause them to develop their faith and mature. This makes them faithful to the Righteous Judge.

Grafted Again

“…if they do not continue in unbelief, will be grafted in, for God is able to graft them in again.” Romans 11:23
 

If the one who fell stops listening to the voice of doubt and start hating the sin that separates him from God, he will receive the gift of repentance and will go back to the Way. The Holy Spirit will graft him back to the Root of David and make everything new.

The will of God

“And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.” Romans 12:2

To be conformed to this world means to adapt Christian life to this world. Therefore it will be impossible to know the will of God. The will of God is only known by those who have real interest in following it.

Clothed in Strength

"Strength and honor are her clothing; she shall rejoice in time to come." Proverbs 31:25

The woman full of grace has her life in God’s hands. She is confident, strong and respected. She knows how to take decisions by faith and lives in peace, for she has assurance that her Lord will provide everything for her.

Give honor to whom it’s due

“…then you say in your heart, My power and the might of my hand have gained me this wealth. And you shall remember the LORD your God, for it is He who gives you power to get wealth, that He may establish His covenant which He swore to your fathers, as it is this day.” Deuteronomy 8:17-18

Many have acquired material blessings and they boast because of that. But the stability of wealth is only possible in partnership with the Spirit of God. He is the one who guides, gives insight and strength for successful enterprises.

Do not imitate Solomon

“Or if Your people Israel are defeated before an enemy because they have sinned against You, and return and confess Your name, and pray and make supplication before You in this temple, then hear from heaven and forgive the sin of Your people Israel, and bring them back to the land which You gave to them and their fathers.” 2 Chronicles 6.24-25

This prayer clearly shows Solomon’s before falling in disgrace. That has also been the heart of many people. Unfortunately they don’t keep it like this until the end. With time, they end up betraying and divorcing the Lord, just like Solomon.

Full of the Spirit

“Now Joshua the son of Nun was full of the spirit of wisdom, for Moses had laid his hands on him;” Deuteronomy 34:9

The Lord Jesus gave authority to His servants and this Energy to make disciples is passed from servants to servants, according to the exercise of faith of each one.

Choked by thorns

“Now the ones that fell among thorns are those who, when they have heard, go out and are choked with cares, riches, and pleasures of life, and bring no fruit to maturity.” Luke 8:14

Many are who have been hearing the Word of Life, but the fascination with the things of the world has distracted them and made them take their focus from the salvation of the soul. And they easily forget the commitments made with the Spirit of God before the Altar. How to take them from among the thorns?

Branches of the vine

“I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing.” John 15:5

To stay in the faith depends on one’s personal perseverance. The Lord Jesus Christ, the Root of David, stands firm as a Root giving energy to those who abide in Him. Whoever abides in Him is sustained by His energy. Whoever doesn't…
