Ask,Seek,Knock (Matthew 7:7)

This Afternoon while I was on Facebook I came across, Two blogs that actually made an impact on me today. These two blogs are about two young christian women that were unhappy,depressed,Suicidal, and were living a life of sin. Until God came and showed them His unfailing Love. They were Asking,Seeking, and Knocking wholeheartedly to grow closer to God, and they never been the same ever since!

Matthew 7:7 "Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; Knock and the door will be opened to you.

Brittnie's Testimony: http://brittnienb.blogspot.com/2013/07/i-was-born-and-raised-in-church-i-said.html


Give me eyes to see when my heart is blind
That when I ask You'll give, that when I seek I'll find
Give me ears to hear when my way's confused
Let the uncertain road, still lead me back to You
Oohh, oohh

All I ask, all I seek
Is You, is You
All I want, all I need
Is You

Give me melodies in the silent 
And let the fire be where every song is forged
Give me faith to trust in Your promises
That You are truly good, that You are all You said You are
Oohh, oohh

All I ask, all I seek
Is You, is You
All I want, and all I need
Is You, is You

All I ask, all I seek
Is You, is You
All I want, all I need
Is You

Whom have I in Heaven but You?
Whom have I on Earth besides You?
Whom have I in Heaven but You?

Whom have I in Heaven but You?
Whom have I on Earth besides You?
Whom have I in Heaven but You?

Whom have I but You, God?

All I ask, all I seek
Is You, is You
All I want, all I need
Is You, is You

A Brand New Start


Recently I was talking to a teenager that was raised in a christian home, he knew all the right words to say and scriptures but was in the world sinning and doing things that weren't pleasing to God. He was dealing with a battle in himself. What side do I want to be on? Is it God's side or the Devil's side?

 He wanted to live his life according to God's will and serve God wholeheartedly but he felt so dirty, ashamed ,and guilty that God would not want to forgive him and take him with open arms as his son. So I told him that God is faithful and Just to forgive those that sin against him.

1 john 1:9" if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness "

Throughout the conversation he decided that he wanted to live a life for Jesus Christ, and we closed our conversation that night with prayer, that he can make this change and have the strength to do so, through God's help. Right now he is walking the walk of Jesus Christ !!! :)

Matthew 24:13 " But the one who stands firm to the end will be saved"

I just wanted to share a poem that  I saw on one of my Facebook Friends page, that talked about God's Love and forgiveness and I had to share it.

A BRAND NEW START

Come speak to Me about what you are going through. Don't hold it all to yourself for I am your God, and I want you to confide in Me. Share with Me all your cares for I care for you. There is nothing you can't tell Me that I already know, but I want you to unload all your cares upon Me. There is no reason why you have to carry them on your own.


This is the day of the great falling away, and it all starts when a spirit of independence creeps in and then the spirit of pride. These are dangerous signs when one doesn't discern what is taking place in your heart. When you take matters in your own hands not relying on My faithfulness but try to work them out in your own strength, you open yourself up to a great deception. One thing piles upon the next, and you have a load too heavy for you to carry, for you are building for yourself a stronghold that is too hard to break away from.


Repentance must take place after you cry out to Me for it. All you need to do is realize that you have made yourself to be your own god and not allowing Me to be what I need to be to you. Extreme danger is at hand when My people who are called by My name refuse to humble themselves and pray and turn from their wicked ways, and because they won't cry unto Me; therefore, I will not heal their land.


There is just too much pride and idolatry in one's heart when they refuse to cast all their cares unto Me. Worry is a sin so deep in one's heart because one will not repent of the sin of pride and independence and choose to carry it all on their own. 


I warn you this day that if you refuse to turn from your wicked ways, then I cannot be your God. I will not be a god to a people who refuse to trust Me. My hands are tied. Turn while there is still time. Do not take this matter lightly because I do not.


Now, My children, I warn you because I love you. I will never forsake you completely. I will wait for you because I forever intercede for you standing on My promise to never let go of those I died for. I believe you have the victory but for the time you must be strengthened in My love. You must realize that I love you or I would not chastise you. Only because you are now My son I cannot allow you to do the things you did when you were a babe.


Now pick yourself up and brush yourself off. This is a new day, a brand new hour. Old things have passed away and all things have become new. If you desire, you can start anew. I will wash away the sins of your past if you realize them and confess them to Me. I will wash you clean and yes, give you a brand new start.


Yes, cast your cares upon Me for truly I care for you!

Draw Me Nearer

Hebrew 10:22 "let us draw near to God with a sincere heart and with the full assurance that faith brings,having out hearts sprinkled to cleanse us from a guilty conscience and having our bodies washed with pure water. 




For your nearness Lord I hunger

For your nearness I am hoping
For your nearness Lord I long
Have no need of any other

So draw me nearer Lord
Never let me go
Closer to your heart
Draw me nearer Lord

In your nearness there is healing
What was broken now made whole
Restoration in its fullness
Lasting hope for all who come

In your nearness I take shelter
Where you are is where Im home
I have need of only one thing
To be here before your throne
To be here before you throne

So draw me nearer Lord
Never let me go
Closer to your heart
Draw me nearer Lord

So draw me nearer Lord
Never let me go
Closer to your heart
Draw me nearer Lord

Theres nowhere else I rather be

So draw me nearer Lord

Do The Harlem Shake?!



One day my brother and I was watching YouTube videos about the "Harlem Shake". At first we didn't think much of it. We just thought it was something to laugh about.

Hosea 4:6-"My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge, Because you have rejected knowledge, I also will reject you from being priest for Me; Because you have forgotten the law of your God, I also will forget your children.

 Later on that day My dad showed my brother and I, a video about breaking down the real meaning of the "Harlem Shake" Dance. After watching the video it showed me that little things, you THINK is just innocent sometimes have a sneaky satanic message behind it. This video speaks for itself. 

 Jesus Christ always revels the Truth! 

Harlem Shake."Brainwash": Mind Control, Gangnan Deception & Mark of the Beast



Isaiah 42:7- to open eyes that are blind, to free captives from prison and to release from the dungeon those who sit in darkness.

I Want To Do What I Want To Do




This morning while I was reading Genesis chapter 3 "The Fall of Man". I was reading about how God told Adam and Eve,  not to eat from the Tree of Knowledge of good and evil. While Eve was in the garden of Eden. Satan came manipulating Eve to eat from  the Tree of Knowledge. Eve disobeyed her Father, God and ate from the tree.

Genesis 3-5 " Now the serpent was more crafty than any of the wild animals the lord God had made. He said to the women, " Did God really say, you must not eat from any tree in the garden? "The women said to the serpent, we may eat fruit from the trees in the garden, but God did say, you must not eat fruit from the tree that is in the middle of the garden, and you must not touch it, or you will surely die." You will not surely die", the serpent said to the women. For God knows that when you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, Knowing good and evil".

When I finished reading this passage, what stood out to me was that Satan told Eve, if you eat from this tree you'll be like God, Knowing all things. God to us is powerful and the ruler of all things Heaven and earth (Genesis 1). Eve thought "well hey, if I get to know all things and rule all things, why not eat from it. that's the same persona of thinking Satan came unto. Satan use to be an angel in Heaven. He orchestrated praise and worship unto God.

Ezekiel 28:13 - Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone was thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: THE WORKMANSHIP OF THY TIMBRELS AND OF THY PIPES WAS PREPARED IN THE DAY THAT THOU WAST CREATED.

Isaiah 14:11 "All your pomp has been brought down to the grave, along with the NOISE OF YOUR HARPS"



 Satan later thought to himself,  "well if i'm orchestra-tor of praise and worship and all of these angels are praising God on my command, why can I be just as powerful like God ".

Isaiah 14 12-14 " How you have fallen from the heaven, o morning star, son of the dawn! you have been cast down to the earth you who once laid low the nations! You said in your heart, i will ascend to the heavens, i will raise my throne above the stars of God, i will sit enthroned on the mount of assembly on the utmost heights of the scared mountain the clouds; i will make myself like the most high".
  
Satan, Adam, and eve wanted to be like God, they wanted to empower things. Eve and Adam rebelled against their Father's authority, God.  Satan, Adam and Eve wanted  to be in titled to something greater, knowing all things like God. They rebelled against  their Father and ruler God, and did what they wanted to do. That's a rebellion spirit, which is not of God.

God punished them because of their rebellion.  Satan was thrown down onto earth, while Adam and Eve was kicked out of the garden of Eden.

"I just want to do what I want to do, That's the phrase we always use when we want to get our way.When we want to be in charge.If our parents tell us we CAN'T do this or DON'T do that, we get easily upset.


Well,  Let me tell  you something that's very important and only the mature will fully understand,
Exodus 20:12 " Honor your father and mother, so that you may live long in the land the lord your God is giving".

God told us to honor our father and mother, so that we may live a long life. Now I know some of you must be saying, "well thats never fair" or "they don't care how we feel". I understand your perspectives, but its not what we feel or think is right. I had to come to that conclusion fast. Even though my parents were following God, I wasn't. I walked in rebellion towards my parents.

Ephesians 6:1 "Children obey your parents in the lord for this is right".

A man named Allister Crowley (1875-1947), was Known as the most evil man on the planet. He came up with a saying "
"Do what tho wilt" A message straight from the pit of Hell.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aleister_Crowley
Allister Crowley was a satanic ceremonial magician and occultist. He was in favor with, Bestiality, abortion, orgies, black magic and sorcery. Many singers and rappers follow this man teachings.

There are plenty of songs and demonic artists that promote, "do what tho wilt"




After watching this video you could see the rebellion spirit in action, do what you want to do and trusting in your own heart, rebellion against anything that is opposite to what you want to do, you rather do whatever pleases you, which is also self worship.

The bible says Jeremiah 17:9 "The heart is deceitful above all things and beyond cure. who can understand it" ?

When you want to do what you want to, it is basically saying, you don't want Jesus Christ, who is your Lord and Savior to take control over your life in order to guide you in the right direction.
We need a generation for Jesus Christ and Not a generation of rebels. God can use us as his vessels but only if we let him take control. If you don't start seeking Jesus Christ as your personal savior and realize your life is empty without Him and full of sin; you will have a scary awakening in Hell for eternity. Not realizing that everything you say have a meaning behind it. Saying, " I do what I want to do." "Do what tho wilt,"  is a rebellion heart, which  is of the DEVIL!

Step out of the Crowd, and live a life of obediance to God.
