The tree of Life...
1) Thoughts about the tree of life...
A) It symbolizes the decisions that we make in life. There was another tree--The tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Why was the second tree called the knowledge of good and evil? Because God did not want Adam and Eve to know Evil. They were blessed with knowing only good and the word of God says...He is good. On the other hand, why was that same tree called good? Because all our righteousness is as filthy rags. (Is 64:6) When we do things our way, it may be a good thing, but not in God's sight.
B) Jesus is the Tree of Life---Gal 3:13.
C) Our Tongue is a tree of life (Prov 15:4)
D) Christ is made unto us Wisdom (I cor 1:30) We have the mind of Christ. All our problems can be solved by his wisdom. We have a genius inside of us.
E) Don't cut yourself from the tree of Life. (Rev 2:1-7)
2) Your life is a garden
A) How is your garden?
B) Jesus is the first and last Adam. (I Cor 15:45)
C) God wants to give you Heaven on Earth. (Deut 11:21)

Hidden Treasures...
Thursday, January 31, 2019
The sun will shine again!
Wisdom is available for you today!
Has life's problems been getting you down? Relax, be happy and don't worry. God's got the answer to all your problems. Today, we are beginning a new series on the book of Proverbs. Proverbs is known as the book of wisdom. Most of it was written by King Solomon, who besides Jesus, was known to be the wisest man on earth during his time.
These teachings are timeless and very valuable even to us. When you spend time in prayer and studying the book of Proverbs, you will be surprised at the wisdom that God will give you. Let's start with the following verses--
"These are the proverbs of King Solomon of Israel, David's son. He wrote them to teach his people how to live-how to act in every circumstance" (Proverbs 1:1-2--New Living word)
We see in these two verses, that it starts with the introduction of the author--King Solomon. It, also, states the purpose of the book--To teach his people how to live and how to act in EVERY CIRCUMSTANCE! I, purposely, highlighted two main words--EVERY CIRCUMSTANCE. How many times do we face a series of circumstances that will side track us? Circumstances that will get us discouraged and steal the word of faith that God has put inside us.
Notice in Proverbs 1:7, it states--How does a man become wise? By the fear of the Lord. In the King James version, it says that the fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge. It is not academic nor worldly knowledge. It is a knowledge from on high. It is revelation knowledge. The knowledge that you receive when you became born-again. The knowledge to unearth God's hidden treasures that is in you so that you can find answers to life's toughest problems.
When we approach God with trust and reverence, he will make his word known to us. He will show us how to access the mind of Christ that is inside of you to obtain revelation knowledge of his word on your behalf. The word Christ is the anointing (Power) of God to destroy yokes (Bondages) and removes burdens (Stress, anxiety,worries, etc)(Ps 2:2, Isa 10:27)
As we study Proverbs 1, King Solomon gives us some examples of how to act wisely. In Proverbs 1:8-9, it talks about the role of the parents. It, also, gives us a wider picture of the church and God's spiritual family. The Father represents Our Heavenly Father and the Mother symbolizes the church. Brethren, church attendance is a must for the believer. It is a way that God has designed for his people to develop wisdom and revelation knowledge.
So, if you are in a church, pray for your Pastor. God has, yet, to reveal his treasures unto you through the church. If you don't have a church home, pray that God will reveal where he wants you to be. Let us not be foolish and go our own way. We need each other. Iron sharpens Iron. Let's follow the instructions from the book of Proverbs and obtain God's wisdom for you today. God has designed us to be problem solvers. Remember you have the mind of Christ. Be encouraged!

Fasting---A few thoughts to ponder ( Part 2)
Is not this the fast that I have chosen? to loose the bands of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, and to let the oppressed go free, and that ye break every yoke? (Isa 58:6)
In our last study of fasting, we saw four major points in this verse. We covered step one and saw how it helped save a nation during the time of Esther,the queen. If you missed our last study, check out the link provided below(1). Today, God willing, we will analyze the rest of the major steps. Let's review the other remaining major steps----
1- To loose the band of wickedness
2- To undo the heavy burdens
3- To let the oppressed go free
4- To break every evil yoke
In step 2, Fasting will undo the heavy burdens. What is a burden? A burden is a weight. It can be stress, anxiety, worries, cares, etc. It, also, implies a crushing. We, all, know what stress and worry can do for you. It's consequences on health can be damaging, so the meaning of crushing is implied in a negative sense. Are you stressed out or worried? Fasting is a way for you to focus on the Lord and undo those burdens. The word says to cast your care upon him (Jesus), for he careth for you. It, can, also be a burden to pray for a nation or a loved one When we obey the leading of the Lord and undo these burdens upon him, miracles start to happen and you sense a peace within.
Step 3 is speaking of deliverance for the oppressed. Oppression is an annoying or constant attack from an enemy. It can be a nervous breakdown, constant mental harassment or a foothold that the enemy can have on a believer's life. It is a sad state of affairs when Pastors and leaders from the church are bound and oppressed by pornography but there is hope. Scripture teaches us that we have the mind of Christ. When we put on Christ, his mind and thoughts, we can have victory over oppression. Fasting is a strong tool to break those strongholds.
Example of a Wooden Yoke
Finally, step 4--Every evil yoke. What is a yoke? A yoke is a wooden or metal object (Picture above) in which two oxen were side by side plowing. They were forced to work the land for its master. The Christian was under the yoke of Satan but, now, through Christ, we have a different yoke. (Matt 11:28-30) A yoke can symbolize bondage, soul-ties or attachment. It can be sickness, debt or carnality. When you fast in faith, knowing what belongs to you,it can be a powerful tool for deliverance. It can destroy any yoke no matter how hard it can be! (Isa 10:27) Whether it be of wood(Carnality) or Iron (Satanic bondage, his unction(Power) can break any attachment to the enemies of our soul. (Jer 28:13)
So, having this in mind--Fasting can be fun! Healing, peace and financial provision is yours but the most important of all, having the mind of Christ. When you have the mind of Christ and take upon his desires, you can rise up to be the victor God meant for you to be! God bless.

A great way to further your ministry.
Greetings. Do you feel the call of God in your life? From time to time, I recognize some great ministries in the body of Christ. In the Christian walk, it is important to be yoked to a good ministry especially in the teaching ministry. Pastor Bob Yandian is a great and anointed teacher. God has used him in the past to help me gain a deeper understanding of the word. He is, not, afraid to tackle hard questions but God uses him to, skillfully, teach the word. I am enclosing a study of the Greek in the New Testament. This teaching tool is a must have for every Christian. It is free and his teaching is a good one especially if you want to gain further understanding of the word. So, do yourself a favor and sit back. Take some time to listen to Pastor Bob. You will be glad you did. God bless.

Find the missing piece!
For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? but we have the mind of Christ. (I Cor 2:16)
Life. It is full of mysteries and unanswered questions. Even Christian are at their wit's end trying to figure out what to do in life. While I do not have all the answers to life's problems, God's word does. Many Christians and Non-Christians have the mistaken notion that we have to take what life dishes out to us and as we hold on, we get to heaven and forget about the pains of the earth.
Now, please do not misunderstand me, I am not saying that you will be problem-free. It is a fact that we live in a fallen world and problems are always going to hit you, sometimes, unexpectedly. What I am saying is that God has given us a battle manual, his word and it has the answers that you and I need in this life.
In fact, when you made Jesus the Lord of your life, he, not, only saved you from death and hell but he gave you the anointing(power) to use to face the testings and trials of life. The word Christ is defined as anointing. A careful study of Acts 4:25-26 makes reference to PS 2:1-2. If you carefully look at the word Christ in Acts 4:26, it is translated as the anointed in PS 2:2. When you go to Isa 10:27, the anointing is defined as yoke breaking, burden removing power.
To sum it up, Christ is the yoke breaking, burden removal power of God. A yoke is bondage to sin, sickness, debt, etc. A burden is stress,fear or worry. I Cor 2:16 says that you have the mind of Christ. Here is the icing on the cake, the word says that Christ has been made unto us wisdom. (I Cor 1:30) What is wisdom? Wisdom is the ability to come up with answers to life's toughest problems.
So, in essence, that means that if you are working as a janitor or CEO of a company, there is in you wisdom to, not, only be the best in your field but to come up with answers to problems in the workplace. An example was Joseph. His wisdom helped save a whole nation! So, friends, if you do not know what to do when problems hit you. If your back is against the wall, let the mind of Christ flow through you. You will be surprised at the answers that God will give you in life.
For all who contact me, I want to send you a gift. I want to send you a personalized prayer that will help you unlock God's secrets, mysteries and give you answers in life. If you are bored with your bible reading, now it's time for a change. Let it come alive and give forth answers to life's toughest problems.
Also, if you do not know Jesus as your Lord and Savior, I have a special link for you below to start an exciting adventure in your life. Please contact me in my contact form. I want to pray with you.
