The Bread From Heaven Or The Bread From Hell - Which Will It Be?

The Bread From Heaven Or The Bread From Hell - Which Will It Be?

Without realizing it - mankind is crying out daily for "bread" -
everything that is necessary to sustain life. Every one is looking for a sufficient quantity that will support their health and strength and bring them happiness and contentment.
In Matthew 6:11, the Lord Jesus taught us to pray to the Father inthis manner - "Give us this day our daily bread."
The only problem with this prayer is that mankind - in praying this way - must acknowledge that God is their source of life and provision and that they are indeed dependent upon Him for both.

Most people do not want to acknowledge this truth because they know - in doing so - they will automatically become accountable to Him for the manner in which they live their life on this earth.
Interestingly enough, when Jesus started His ministryHeaddressed the topic of - "bread." This is what He said to the people - John 6:32-33,35,48- 51,and 58 say - "...but My Father giveth you the
true bread from heaven. For the bread of God is He Which cometh down
from heaven and giveth life unto the world...And Jesus said unto them,
I am the bread of life: he that cometh to Me shall never hunger; and
he that believeth on Me shall never thirst...I am that bread of life.
Your fathers did eat manna in the wilderness, and are dead. This is
the bread which cometh down from heaven, that a man may eat thereof,
and not die. I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any
man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I
will give is My flesh, which I will give for the life of the
world...This is that bread which came down from heaven: not as your
fathers did eat manna, and are dead: he that eateth of this bread
shall live for ever."

"...My Father giveth you the true bread from heaven..."

>From this statement, can we conclude that there is "a false bread"
which does not come from God or heaven? Can we assume that it comes
from the world, the flesh, and the devil and issues forth from the
bowels of Hell?

We would all have to agree that Satan has a counterfeit for everything
that God has.

Since God has His "bread from heaven," then it is only logical to
believe that Satan has his "bread from hell" as well.

As we study the Scriptures, we find that there are various kinds
of "bread" which every man is exposed to in his particular lifetime on
this earth.

There is the "bread of tears"(Psalm 80:5) which typify a time of
continual sorrow, great affliction, along with no comfort and peace.
It is a time when the tears flow so copiously.

In Psalm 127:2, we read about the "bread of sorrows." This is
the "bread" of care, anxiety, and trouble - gotten through much sorrow
and labor.

Proverbs 4:17 tells us about the "bread of wickedness." This is
enjoyed by those who live by flagrant vices - while stealing from
others and getting things through wicked or unlawful means.

Proverbs 20:17 introduces us to the "bread of deceit" which includes
all sin. Specifically, it refers to property unlawfully obtained or
acquired by falsehood and without labor.

Proverbs 31:27 mentions the "bread of idleness." This is the "bread"
eaten by those who waste their lives away in frivolity and pleasure
rather than in the wise management of their time and resources.

Isaiah 30:20 speaks of the "bread of adversity" - "bread" symbolizing
a time of calamity, distress, or want.

Ezekiel 4:13 tells us about "defiled bread" - the "bread" that God's
so-called people partake of when they compromise their holy standards -
exchanging or lowering them for the pleasures of this world.

The Prophet Malachi mentioned the "polluted bread" - the blemished
sacrifices which the people of God tried to offer Him. This type
of "bread" represented the people offering Him their "worst" instead
of their "best"(Malachi 1:7).

Lastly, in 1 Corinthians 5:8, the Apostle Paul mentioned
the "unleavened bread of sincerity and truth" which symbolized having
a sincere love to God and His people.

In the midst of human life, Jesus stepped in and proclaimed - "...I am
the bread of life: he that cometh to Me shall never hunger; and he
that believeth on Me shall never thirst"(John 6:35).

In the midst of a lifetime riddled with pain, sorrow, tears, grief,
and heartache - this certainly was a great offer for mankind to claim
and Jesus was certainly the Hero of the day!

After hearing His sermon for the day, the people chimed in in saying -
"...Lord, evermore give us this bread"(John 6:34). But were they all
serious or did they all have the same concept in mind of what they
were asking from Him?

As we read through the account, we find that there were those who
wanted Jesus' "bread" because they were sensual, covetous, idle, and
vain. John 6:26 reveals their true motive - "Jesus answered them and
said, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Ye seek Me, not because ye saw
the miracles, but because ye did eat of the loaves, and were filled."
It would be great to have a continual supply of food without any
charge...to never have to work for it...or to enjoy a life whereby
things are so easily accessible.

Others who said - "Lord, evermore give us this bread" - were asking
with a bit of skepticism in their hearts and derision in their voices.
They really didn't believe that such a "bread" could be possible.

Then again, there were those whose eyes were opened to the Living Son
of God - the "Bread from heaven" - and earnestly desired to live upon
Him all the days of their life.

"This is the bread which cometh down from heaven, that a man may eat
thereof, and not die. I am the living bread which came down from
heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the
bread that I will give is My flesh, which I will give for the life of
the world"(John 6:50-51).

Jesus is the "bread of life." He is the crucified Lord Whom every
believer appropriates by faith. The "bread" that He offers quickens,
strengthens, and satisfies the soul. It is "living bread." There is no
death in it.

The Apostle John said this about Jesus in John 1:4 - "In Him was
life..." In other words, He is the fountain of life - physically,
morally, and eternally. He is the foundation of life - the principle
or essence of it - to every living thing.

This being so - then we must ask ourselves a serious question - why is
it that the description which the Prophet Isaiah drew in Isaiah 1:5
typifies so many in the church today - "...the whole head is sick, and
the whole heart faint"?

On what kind of "bread" are they feasting? Is it the "bread from
heaven" or the "bread from hell"?

The answer is obvious.

If there is spiritual "death" lurking in a Christian's life or walk,
it would only stand to reason that he has been partaking of the wrong
kind of "bread." It is very probable that he has been partaking of the
world's "dainties" as set forth by Hollywood, for example.

The "bread" that Jesus offers gives and sustains life.

If you find yourself drifting away from God or backsliding in your
commitment of Bible Study and prayer, then there is a good chance that
you are guilty of eating the "bread from hell" - which brings eternal
death on your soul.

"Lord, evermore give us this bread."

Be careful when you pray that prayer. God is looking at the motive of
your heart.

If you are going to settle for the "bread" that Jesus offers, then
that means that you are going to have to cast out any and all "bread"
that comes from hell.

Are you willing to become "extreme" for God?
>From this day forward, are you going to scrutinize what goes into
your eye-gate and ear-gate and be sure that it is the "bread from
heaven" that you are receiving into your soul and spirit?

Remember - if you partake of the "bread from heaven," you will never
die spiritually.
On the other hand, if you feed your soul on the "bread from hell," you
are already dying on the Vine(John 15:1-5).

"I am the living bread Which came down from heaven: if any man eat of
this bread, he shall live for ever..." (John 6:51).

May God Bless His Word.

Prayer 4 A Friend

Hello Everyone; My Husband I have a friend whom had stayed with us briefly this past week. He goes by a name of (Heritage Rick), this man has so much poetienal in his own life that he can't even see it when it's right in front of him. I've seen it in him but the ways of this world has got him bound up so very badly to say the least. He does have many demons inside of him as he goes out in this world. He wouldn't allow us to pray over him while he was here with us but he had asked about different topics and we explained it to him. The saddest things in what we saw in this man was horrible lanuage that was down to the depths of his own soul, it came raging out at me one night when he was here in our home. I was so glad it was on a saurday evening because the next day was church and I had already made an appointment with one of our pastors to share that whole event with him and other matters that had been going on in our own family. I cried and poured out my own heart in behalf not only our friend but our children too. It was more than enough to bear during this time. I was so blessed by our own pastor in giving me t ons of scriptures of which I had to review in this whole situation at hand. Our firend needs salvation and we was the planter in this mans life that had churned up all of his fallow ground in his life, and it had to be churned up to lay down seeds in this man's life(Jer.4:3), We pray unto the Lord as His grace may shine on "Heritage Ricks" life and to bless those seeds as it had been poured out before him in sharing the Word of God as the Lord puts His grace upon him today. For we know our precious Jesus will hasten his word to perform it in bringing "Heritage Rick" unto Salvation and to futhermore bring down all of His sickness unto Him which also needs delieverance from generationa; curses to bring him out of it all. This man had me crying over him as I cried out to God in all of those horrible things which has clouded him for many years now. Depression, anger, diabetes,foul - mouthed, lies, degregration of himself and all women in and around this mans life, worldly friends, addicted personality, behaviors, attitudes, blames everyone and everything, not responsible for His own life. We don't know where this man went after he had left our home yet today, but we will hear about him through other people that we know that knows him. Until we hear in what's taken place in this man's life than we will be able to share it with you too. I want to thank You all for lifting him up in your prayers because he truly needs it as you can see. catcmo2006

Wise Words

Don't be afraid to admit when you know you are wrong. It's not a sign of weakness, but show character and responsibility. Others will respect you for that. Always do the right things, even when everyone does as they please with No consideration for the feelings of others. Never compromise your values and beliefs, even if it means risking ridicule and rejection. Be true to yourself. Live your own life and don't allow others to deside what is best for you. If you do, you will be unhappy because you're untrue to yourself. Refuse to run away from the things that scare you. Confront these situations and overcome your fears so that you may grow as a person. Don't compare yourself to others. - Unknown INSIGHTS FOR ONESELF: You are unique special human being that God has made you to be and He has a plans for our life, and hopes and His dreams with His unending love. His own thoughts are as the sands that are countless as those seashores. He will Never stop doing good for us, for We are his treasured possessions and His desires are that we would be established unto Him in all of our hearts, down to the depths of ones soul as He shows us all of great and very marvelous things unto one's own life. This is all because of His everlasting love... Because of His Name is Jesus Christ that alway's offers us than any earthly father or mother could every bring or do for us in one's own life time, which last for all eternity. He so does gives so much desires for His children that He lavish His own deep love for us so simply because we are His children and to share this last word with all of the readers to know that we are not ever a mistake unto the Lord for all of our days have been numered and have been written down in His book. He had determined the exact time of everyone's being conceived and that right time of one's birth. For He had chosen all of us as His own planned creations. For Our God delights in us all and does give those desires of one's own heart.He's able to do more than any of us could ever possibly inimagine. When we are so broken that's when he draws so close to us in our lives.As a Shepard carries One lamb He does the same for us ever so close to His own heart. One day He will be wipping every tear drops from our eyes. He is everyones Father, and He loves just as much as His own Son, Jesus Christ. For His Son Jesus Christ is always the exact representation of His Father, for in and through Him God's own love is always revealed unto us. For God just don't count any one of our sins for God brought His ( Only ) Son to take all of our sins that He (Himself) demonstrated before us all on that cross of calvery. By the way reconconciled it for us in being free at last. After all, He gave up that love so that (Only ) could gain our unto Him. If we could recieve Him than He will recieve us unto Him. Nothing absolutely Nothing will take us away from Him. And by the way... When You do.... He and everyone else in Heaven will be throwing the biggest party for You as the Honored guest. All He's waiting for... Is for us to join Him. Don't take to long for We don't know when that party will end nor the hour. He's waiting on You !

THE ONION

I was an old onion before Christ set me free
Layers upon layers of iniquity.
An ugly old onion whose fragrance was strong
That my Jesus bought and loved all along.

Unknown to me what He was going to do
Of what He was planning, I had not a clue
Pulling each layer off one by one.
In order to make me more like Jesus the Son

The first layer wasn't so bad
I saw all the sins that I knew I had
They wer easy to fix, just change the way I talk
And learn more of how He wanted me to walk.

Reading His Word, and learning again;
How to put aside my life of sin.
But the next layer was pulled which hurt more
He was getting closer to the core.

Unknown what He would find there.
I simply gave it to Him in prayer.
As another layer was removed, He started to cry
Pulling this layer brought pain to my Father on high.

And I was crying over the sadness I felt
The brokeness and all of the guilt
Past memories that I thought were gone
They were buried under layers disguised in a fragrant
so strong.

As onions peel more and more;
And they put tears in our eyes as we get close to the core
So my Father wept over my pain;
Giving me a balm of comfort and strength to sustain.

"NO MORE LAYERS." I would scream.
So he continued to peel them off me.
"I'll have nothing left my Lord, what will I do?
I'll be nothing but a worthless core to you."

But He just said "Trust me," and continued to peel
I was sure He was blinded to my pain that was so real
Year after year I shrunk more and more and more
Until all that was left of this onion was a core.

It was then that I begun to understand
As the Lord embraced me in His loving hand
He said, now and only now can you be;
The creation that will minister before me.

Clothed with the righteousness only from above
Gone are your layers of self so you can be filled with my love.
He took my layers of sin, hurt and pain;
And clothed me with love, truth and mercy in His Name.

Yes, we are all onions, learning with each day
How to overcome as each layer is taken away
Some layers tear and pull at our heart;
While others grieve us to our innermost part.

But we are nothing but an ugly onion wihtout Christ
Layers upon layers of pride, sin and strife
Only God can take those layers away. If you know Him -
You are clothed with His righteousness, and have strength -
to live each day.

Prayer

Dear Precious Heavenly Father; You have already determned as we all do agree with You that we are partners with You in all of our prayers, that You will act accordingly to our prayer. You want all of us to stand in those gaps for something that's mighty important to You each and every day Father in behalf of those whom are dependant upon You in making all of those ways in those lives and ours in praying for one another in having Your Holy Spirit in breaking and crushing those territories that's in the way of all peoples lives of which You have taught us to do before us in bringing with us Your authority Power in defeating all of those enemies camps. Father God, Thank You for them of which You have bestowed in us by Your word in which all of us hold dearly in our hearts in presenting everything before you this day. Glorious Jesus Christ whom we all know as our "Abba Father" Whom is the destroyer of things in the spiritua; world that has provided all of those provisions before us in covering everything that You already know about even before we bring them to Your attention Blessed be the name of the Blood of the Lamb whom bore our sins on that cross of calvery that we have laid everying that's in us in knowing we have done it in combining us us to you in our daily lives today. We are throughly covered by your blood that has already cleansed us in making us white as snow and never being heard of again by w hom much has been given unto You whom has laid in it before us. Thank You Jesus ! We praise Your heavenly name like No other can or will ever do before us in each of our lives. It already written down in that Lambs book of life in having the security in being in and with you that can never be taken away from us that if we stay ever so close to you in one's own obedience and have kept you with in us with our life. Byt saturating us with Your Holy spirit each and every day by always seeking, asking, knocking on Your door in guiding us all along our paths that You have made each and every step that we are taking along with You Abba Father down to the very depths of our souls in being expectantly waiting for that coming glory for us one day. Oh, Father, There is so much out there today as it's getting worse that it just getting to the point in living in this world that those in power of which we live have literally has given us an effect of a large doses of anesthesia that of which causes people to be unsentive and along with it insensibility that has it effects of being paralyzed us to all truths in whats coming before us in our world today. Father God bring healing unto us of that which had torpid us in which remains dormant in our souls that only You can quicken us in your power deep with in us tht shatters, breaks and totally crushes us to have an new spiritual oneness with you deeply within us so that all of those sluggishness that was so very dull be fully awakened so then to become being fully alert in those depths of our souls in marching on with those battles that have come our way in serving You best in whom we dearly love down to the depths of our own souls.We seek to have that to re-awakened by Your Holy Ghost revival in us that it become alive within our soulsin being alert, vigliant,aroused, that stirs us with us literally coming out of our sleep so that we can become fully aware as each one of us rubs our eyes, like that of us rising up in the morning, stretches us, as we are so very excited in being in and with you in that brand new day before us as those renewal comes forth as we hear the mighty lions roar deep with in us that stirs us in a mighty way like never ever before to be bringing out what You have called your children to do before you. as you are keeping us informed on all paths that You've set down before us each and every day that it bring us closer to You. Right now we just want to 'Thank You Father in what Your about to do before us in all of our lives and letting it be known unto the ends of the earth so they will become fully aware of whom You are in the midst of us and in those whom have refused you in that deep pentrating and as being fully awakened the world to see and to witness before all of those eyes that think they know whom you are, and whom will be brought down before You for all this world to know such truths. But yet will hve already known to behold in those person or persons of what You are about to do but yet knowing times are at hand of which is about to happen before them of which is No stopping for what they have done to all of those people through out this world, that have hurt so many of your own people that has truly hurt you as You have cried before in Us in upholding those in the garden of Gethsemane when You had prayed for us whom are in this world that of which You hath already known of what was coming for this world at hand. You Father already have warned us in all of the coming persections, times of the ends,and the hatred of this world, that are sorrows will be turned into joy simply because You are our comforter in all of our ways and in knowing You deep within our lives that You have come to overcome this world that all of us are livng in today. You truly know those whom have truly kept your word in obedience unto You, and had those truths of Your word to speak it forth every single word that You have put before them that are in this world, and " Woe" unto them that have went to which that have that word which is in being in contempt, corruption all that You have put unto them for it's the purest form of whom You are for You have laid it all out before them if they have taken away your truths from the peoples ears, hearts amongst us while here on earth that they have been warned by the Word of God in what will become of them when it comes to the Lambs book of life and those very lives. "Repent of things while yet there is still time of those in the world go back to tell of truths so No one is left when I come and it's drawing near to a close as each day is passing for which I know not of when it will be. For I love those whom have sought me and in keeping close to me and in in expectant waiting for the clouds to open not yet is that time. I know Father that You have said these words unto us that You have prayed for us as we are in You in which we do keep You glorified deep with us as we are in thine name as we are one with You. We thank You for all of that fulness of joy that You have given unto us as Yours. For You Father God keep each one of us from all of those evil plans and designs that comes to destroy us but they fail and they keep coming back to do it all over again but You keep them all from us and as we crush them and break them they run for of which we tell them to go and it's only because of whom You are in us in doing so we worship and love You so very much that we cry out always for more of You and less of us in beholding You so ever more each and every day until You come. Father there is so much to speak with You about that often times it hurts us to share all that hurts us that we can hardly speak it to You. With our own eyes as each day passes we still see and hear so much of our daily News, whether it be in our home towns, or across this globe is hurts to see it at times, and what's coming for every single person life that all that we have seen in those spiritual eyes in knowing what's about to take place in our world of which was given but mankind had literally destroyed it by all of those of emotional things that we witness in our world today. It's very heart breaking and numbs us when it's brought about daily and them people whom are not in You just sems to blow it off only to come back with more in live pictures of it,to get off on what they tell about in this world at large today. We know such sufferings in our world and we bring it all unto You in our prayers for we know whom is the one whom takes care of whether it be at home or away, or to those whom we know nothing about except for us to pray at this very hour. For the Anti-Christ thinks he's winning this world in which we truly know whom the true winner is simply because we have read the ending of it all in our Sword of the Spirit which is whom You are Precious Jesus.

Self- Perception

Read Psalms 8:1-9
We develop our sense of self- perception by noticing how the important people in our life sees us. If we grew up in a dysfuctional family, their skewed view of us probably warped our ability to see ourself as we truly are in God's eyes. Understanding how God sees us and the value he has placed on us overcome the negative self- perception that many of us have developed. King David was amazed as us he thought about how much God vlued him. He said," What mortals that you should think of us, mere humans that you should care for us? For You made us a little lower than God and you crowned us with glory and honor. You put us in charge over everything you made giving u authority over all things. ( Psalms 8:4-6). "How precious are your thoughts about me, O God ! They are innumerable! I can't count them; they out number the grains in the sand!And when I wake up in the morning, You are still with me! ( Psalms 139:17,18). God demonstrated how precious we are in his sight by sending Jesus Christ to give us his life for us. God wants us to realize how precious we are to him and to see ourself in the light of his love. Consider this: If God consider us worthy of giving up the very most precious thing he had (His only SON), what does that say about how valuable we are to him? ______________________________________________________________ Many of our problems are rooted and grounded in our low self- esteem. Perhaps we were never listened to as children. Or maybe we were abused by people whom had authority over us. Whatever those roots are of one's own problems, we are now probably overly sensitive to the attacks of others. We see here that God has truly made us fantastic being with great honor and authority. We should never sell ourselves short. Self- esteem should be based on what God thinks about us - not on what others say about us. ______________________________________________________________

Jesus as the Rose of Sharon

"I am the rose of Sharon, and the lily of the valleys." (Solomon 2:1)

Here are some basic facts about this verse and how it may be related to Jesus being considered the Rose of Sharon.

1. Nowhere in the New Testament is Jesus actually referred to as the rose of Sharon. However, He is symbolically referred to as the rose of Sharon by many.
   
2. You are right about Sharon being a place. Sharon is a plain - it is one of the largest valley-plains in all of Palestine. Back at the time of Solomon, it was considered a wild, fertile plain that had many beautiful flowers in it. Sharon was supposed to have been known for its beauty and majesty back in those days.
   
3. The person saying she is the "rose of Sharon" in the above verse was a Shulamite woman who apparently was Solomon's bride.
   
4. Here is the reason that I think people like to use this analogy of Jesus being the Rose of Sharon. The New Testament refers to Jesus as being the Bridegroom and the Church as His Bride. This tells us right here that God is using the "lover" analogy to describe the personal relationship that He wants us to have with His Son.

However, in the above verse, the person saying she is the rose of Sharon is a woman, not a man. Jesus is obviously referred to as "male" since He is always referred to as "He" in the Bible. The rose is considered the most "perfect" of all flowers.

You will notice that Jesus is symbolically referred to as the rose of Sharon. Jesus is totally perfect in His nature and personality. He thus can be considered the actual rose of Sharon since He is totally perfect within His own nature - just like the rose is supposed to be considered the most perfect of all flowers.

Normally in a husband-wife or boyfriend-girlfriend relationship, it is the male who gives roses to the wife or girlfriend. Since Jesus is considered the Bridegroom in His personal relationship with His church, it would thus be Jesus coming to us to give us the flowers. However, in this case, God may be going one step further in allowing this analogy to be made of His Son.

I believe God may be trying to tell us that Jesus will go one step further. Instead of Jesus being the One who would give us the flowers as we have in our normal human relationships, Jesus is actually referred to as the flower itself! And with the rose being the most perfect of all flowers, God is telling us that His Son Jesus is the Rose of Sharon rather than just having Him be the One to just give us this rose flower due to His perfect nature and perfect love that He has for all of us.

Women love flowers. They love the way they look and smell - especially roses. I feel God wants us to have realization of how special His Son Jesus is to us, and He is using the rose flower to compare His Son with so we can truly appreciate the beauty and perfection of Jesus and the perfect love that He has for each and every one of us.

Bottom line - Jesus is perfect love just as the rose is the most perfect of all flowers in its looks, beauty and smell.

By using the rose flower as a visual symbolism of Jesus' love for us, we can better see and appreciate what God is trying to tell us in the personal love relationship that He wants to establish with each and every one of us. He wants all of us to realize how special His love is for us and that He wants more than anything else to be able to enter into this personal love relationship with each one of us.

The above is my own personal opinion on what this analogy is referring to. I've always had a good witness that God the Father does approve of us using the Rose of Sharon to symbolize His Son's perfect love for us even though it is not actually stated per se in Scripture.

But It Is Hardly Credible That One Could Be So Positvely Ignorant!

" Who srt Thou, Lord?" ( Acts 26:15). "The Lord spake thus to me with a strong hand." There is no escape when Our Lord speaks, He comes with an arrestment of understanding. Has the voice of God come to You directly? If it has, You cannot mistake the intimate insistence with which it has spoken to You in the language You k now best, not through Your ears, but through Your own circumstances. God has to destroy our determined confidence in our own covictions. " I know this is what I should do"- and suddenly the voice of God speaks in a way that overwhelms us by revealing us by revealing depths of our ignorance. We have shown our Ignorance of Him in the very same way we determined to serve Him. We serve Jesus Christ in a spirit that is not His, then we hurt Him by our advcacy for Him, we push His claims in the spirit of the devil (Satan). Our words sound alright, but our spirit is that an enemy."He rebuked them, and said, Ye know not what manner of spirit ye are of." The spirit of the Lord is an advocate of His described in 1 Corinthians 13. Have I been persecuting Jesus Christ by a zealous determination to serve Him in My own way? If I feel I have done My duty and Yet have been hurting Him in doing it. I may be sure it was not My duty, because it has not fostered the meek and quiet spirit, but the spirit of self - satisfaction. We imagine that whatever is unpleasant is our duty! Is that anything like the spirit of our Lord - " I delight to do Thy Will, O My God."

The Apostle Paul had the Lord's intentions for all others in and around His conversion through His testimony of what He had experienced near Damascus as He suffered himself being the Servant of the Lord. People didn't take Him seriously about His conversion, and they plotted to kill the Apostle Paul but His new christian friends helped him to excape. We do have those same oppositions just as He had, in our lives today especially during these days today. Anyone of us have had truyly so many broeken relationships in our life but the longer we do take our stand on our Lord Jesus Christ in our lives we become more dependent on the Lord to bring us through with God's wisdom , through the power of the Holy Ghost as we listen through circumstances as Jesus Christ shares with us in bringing us through it. There's nothing impossible for God in seeing his children through those times of ones denial but in our willingness He leads us onward to be in Him, that bring us to wholeness that strenghens us and gives us hope in moving towards living in eternity.

2007 AND BEYOND

2007 will be a year of advancement for the people of God who desire to serve Him with a whole heart. This will be so because the numbers in the year 2007 reveal the destiny of this season.

Number 2 is God’s number of unity, specifically the unity of God and man bound together in destiny.

Number 7 is God’s number of perfection – His work perfected in us.

Number 9 (2+7) is God’s number of fullness. Fullness of the Holy Spirit’s gifts and fruit in mankind.

The Sound of Heaven

Will be heard by the Church in 2007. The sound of heaven will come to establish kingdom reality among God’s people (http://ft111 .com/thetrumpet.htm -- January 2, 2007).

On the Day of Pentecost when the Church was born, they heard the sound of a mighty rushing wind. They heard the sound of heaven before they saw the tongues of fire. The sound of heaven created a kingdom reality that allowed them to see God’s purposes (Acts 2:1-4).

When the Apostle John was on Patmos he heard the voice of the trumpet behind him, and then he turned to see the Alpha and Omega (Revelation 1:9-11).

David heard the sound of marching in the tops of the mulberry trees, and then he advanced quickly and obtained the victory.

And, so it goes – the sound of heaven creates spiritual reality, and that reality equips us to believe in and live in the supernatural kingdom of God.

The Divided Tongues of Fire

Jeremiah 33: 3 ‘Call to Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know.’

As I called out to the Lord for understanding regarding the year 2007, four flames of revelation sat upon me and divided the year into four parts:

1. January through March is a season in which the Lord wants His people to come into divine order. As we come into divine order (putting our spiritual life first), then the natural order of our lives will be brought under God’s control.

When we come into God’s order, then we can begin to sow the seeds of blessing that will grow up quickly in this year.

Divine order is the first order of business for this year. If we come into God’s order, then tremendous blessings will come in 2007 on all levels, both spiritually and naturally.

Greater vision and clearer perspective will come to those who get in God’s order. We will hear more clearly and then see more vividly than we ever have before.

2. April through June will be a time of favor to those in order. This will be a time of favor with man because we will be walking under the umbrella of God’s favor. Seeds planted in the first quarter will begin to spring up. It will be a time of advancement, accomplishment and prosperity. The rewards will be well worth the effort that was required to get in divine order.

This quarter will be a time of revelation with regards to God’s purposes for the end of the age. The hidden manna (mysteries) of God will come to His people. Covenant promises will be fulfilled in this season, and it will be a time of great blessings.

3. July through September will bring a season of intense spiritual warfare. The warfare of this season will be for the purpose of protecting the harvest that the seeds sown in the first quarter have brought and those that are yet to come. It will be a time in which we will have a basket for gathering in one hand and a sword in the other. The enemy will try to steal the harvest, but he will not be able to do so if we fight the good fight of faith. September (the ninth month) will be a time of birthing of those seeds sown in January.

4. October through December will be a time of celebration for the victory over the enemy, for the blessings that have come to us. For, we will see the goodness of the Lord. (Psalm 27:13).

It will be a season of rest and restoration as we enter into the Holy of Holies and dwell in the presence and light of the Lord. And, He will cover us with His glory in this seventh day of God and in this year of 2007.

Our hearts will be full of thanksgiving for the blessings of this year and the goodness of our God towards us!

Ephesians 1: 17-19 That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him, the eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that you may know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, and what is the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe, according to the working of His mighty power.

The Seventh Gift

The seventh gift of the Spirit (discerning of spirits) will be given to God’s people in 2007. That is, given to many who have yet to function in this gift, and there will be an elevation of this gift in those who already function in it.

The first level of discernment will enable us to evaluate the condition of our own spirit. This gift will reveal whether we have a tormented spirit, grieved spirit, or wounded spirit. If we have these conditions, then we must be set free from such if we are going to be victorious and live the overcoming life. We will not prosper if we are not free from these conditions.

1. A tormented spirit is one that doesn’t have any peace as a result of demonic harassment.

2. A grieved spirit doesn’t have any joy because of the burdens of this life. It is hard to have hope and faith if your spirit is grieved (has regrets).

3. A wounded spirit will cause you to become a victim of life. Victimized Christians are not victorious Christians, and they have no power!

If these conditions prevail, one must seek the Lord for deliverance and restoration – victory is assured!

The second level of discernment will enable us to see the condition of human spirits (in others) so we can pray correctly for them.

The third level of discernment allows us to discern demonic spirits and to identify their attacks and the purpose of the attacks. We then enter into spiritual warfare and defeat the enemy.

The fourth level of discernment allows us to perceive angelic activity. We have spiritual help for warfare, but it helps us to know that angels are with us in the fight for victory.

The fifth level of discernment helps us discern the presence of the Lord and His purposes for specific seasons, revelation knowledge and many other things.

The gift of discerning of spirits is one that the Body of Christ needs in these most perilous times. Ask, and you shall receive.

Prophetic Psalms for 2007

Psalm 7:1 O LORD my God, in You I put my trust; Save me from all those who persecute me; And deliver me, 2 Lest they tear me like a lion, Rending me in pieces, while there is none to deliver.

Psalm 7:6 Arise, O LORD, in Your anger; Lift Yourself up because of the rage of my enemies; Rise up for me to the judgment You have commanded! 7 So the congregation of the peoples shall surround You; For their sakes, therefore, return on high. 8 The LORD shall judge the peoples; Judge me, O LORD, according to my righteousness, And according to my integrity within me. 9 Oh, let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end, But establish the just; For the righteous God tests the hearts and minds.

The Lord shall cleanse, deliver and vindicate His people this year “by the spirit of judgment and the spirit of burning” (Isaiah 4:4), and we will praise Him for the liberty that comes.

Psalm 7:17 I will praise the LORD according to His righteousness, And will sing praise to the name of the LORD Most High. (Read the whole Psalm and meditate on it).

Psalm 27:1 The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the LORD is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid? 2 When the wicked, even mine enemies and my foes, came upon me to eat up my flesh, they stumbled and fell. 3 Though an host should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear: though war should rise against me, in this will I be confident. 4 One thing have I desired of the LORD, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the LORD, and to enquire in his temple. 5 For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion: in the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me; he shall set me up upon a rock. 6 And now shall mine head be lifted up above mine enemies round about me: therefore will I offer in his tabernacle sacrifices of joy; I will sing, yea, I will sing praises unto the LORD.

Psalm 27 is a Psalm of victory from our enemies. And, a year in which the Lord will become the strength of our lives. Hallelujah! His strength in us – strength of spirit and body!

Psalm 27:13 I would have lost heart, unless I had believed That I would see the goodness of the LORD In the land of the living. 14 Wait on the LORD; Be of good courage, And He shall strengthen your heart; Wait, I say, on the LORD! (Again read the whole Psalm).

These are the prophetic psalms of great blessings for this year, and they are yours.

And Beyond 2007

· The season of the horse will continue to bring apostolic power to the body of Christ.

· The mysteries of the end of the age will continue to unfold to those who have a heart to serve, eyes to see and ears to hear.

· The reality of the kingdom of heaven will become stronger as we move to the end of the age.

· The birthpangs of sorrow will continue to come upon the world as foretold in Matthew chapter 24 and Luke chapter 21. Let us remember: Luke 21:36 "Watch therefore, and pray always that you may be counted worthy to escape all these things that will come to pass, and to stand before the Son of Man.

2007 promises to be a great year of favor and blessings on every level – that is if we will walk in obedience and position ourselves by faith to receive the prophetic word of the Lord.

Matthew 4:4 But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God.

Have your very best year in 2007. Be abundantly blessed beyond your wildest expectations. Keep your eyes fixed on Jesus, and He will lead you through this season of perfection and fullness!Website: http://ft111.com Faith Tabernacle 111 North Fourth Street P. O. Box 1148 Kremmling CO 80459

Morning & Evening Devotionals

Morning Devotional

As thy days, so shall thy strength be.

When they shall lead you, and deliver you up, take no thought beforehand what ye shall speak, neither do ye premeditate: but whatsoever shall be given you in that hour, that speak ye: for it is not ye that speak, but the Holy Ghost. Take no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.
The God of Israel is he that giveth strength and power unto his people. Blessed be God. He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength.
My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong. I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me. O my soul, thou hast trodden down strength.

Deut. 33:25. Matt. 13:11. Matt. 6:34. Ps. 68:35. Isa. 40:29. 2 Cor. 12:9,10. Phil. 4:13. Judg. 5:21.

Evening Devotional

Awake, O north wind, and ... blow upon my garden, that the spices thereof may flow out. No chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby. The fruit of the Spirit. He stayeth his rough wind in the day of the east wind. Like as a father pitieth his children, so the Lord pitieth them that fear him. Though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day. For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory; while we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. Though [Jesus] were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered. In all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. Song of Solomon 4:16. Heb. 12:11. Gal 5:22. Isa. 27:8. Ps. 103:13. 2 Cor. 4:16-18. Heb. 5:8. Heb. 4:15.

The Word of the Lord given through His servant
Brett Hofstee
January 26, 2007/Shebat 7, 5767


Behold, wicked and adulterous generation, for the hour is late and your
deception is great. Great is the delusion that is in this land. I have
blinded you and have turned you over to strong delusion, because you
are lovers of this world, and not lovers of the truth. You refuse to be
yielded to hear My voice. You continue to seek the temporal things of
this world, and not lay your life down for the eternal things of My
kingdom. My judgment will be swift against you and nothing of you will
remain, for you will be remembered no longer, and you existence dissolved.

To you who say you are Mine, and use My name as if you know who I AM, I
AM about to expose all the idolatry in you heart. You are lovers of
success and money, and not Me. You say you love Me with your mouth, but I
see what is in your heart. Your hearts crucify Me over and over again.
You don’t know Me or love Me, nor have you for a split second taken a
look into the eyes of the One whom you've pierced. You give ear to
false teachers and hireling shepherds, who tell you that you can serve two
masters. You think that you can serve Me and have your love affair with
the world at the same time? You cannot, nor will you ever come into My
house with your idolatry. You want your house filled with self-esteem,
self-confidence, and your titles, and the honors of men and not the
quiet and hidden place of truly trusting the Lord with all your heart. You
serve the Image of the Beast, and he is your master. Your time to
repent is over You are doomed, for I never knew you.

To the remnant of My seed, you’ve waited and have wondered in the
wilderness, holding on with little strength. I tell you to hold fast to
what have given you, for you are moments away in time from seeing Me and
becoming like Me. Believe Me and don’t let your unbelief rob you of
the joy I've placed within you. You will no longer be trampled upon by
the beast. Your chains will be broken and your shackles removed. You
will come out of the wilderness resurrected, and into the city as a thief
in the night prepared to take back what is Mine. Prepared to resurrect
My Temple in My Holy City. My appearing will be as the twinkling of an
eye, a moment in time, so be honest and genuine in true sincerity
before Me and the shock of My Appearing will not surprise you. Heed the
words of My prophets and follow the heart of My shepherds. Praise to the
Lord, for He is greatly to be praised. Amen and Amen.

The Word of the Lord given through His handmaiden
Kamilla Hofstee
January 26, 2007/Shebat 7, 5767

I AM speaking to those that want to listen in these times of trouble. I
say, where else is there to turn and to whom else would you turn to in
a time such as this? I speak to those who seek not to flee in winter
but come out of their caves in the spring. Still think not that I have
come with sweet things in your ear where you gather but instead know that
I AM come with a sword of the tongue to strike down your enemies.

I come as a flood, as the winds out of the north as a whirlwind that
tosses things to and fro. I spare nothing of the flesh. Those things you
hold dear to your heart let them go.

The times have come where I will burn things out of you. I burn you up
with the truth of My Spirit.

I come to divide the lands once again. A new shift of purposes are in
the air and in the earth. My people, who are called by My name, hear Me
and obey. The time has come to put away the old and put on the new.

I AM not sparing your traditional ways of preparedness. Your money will
be used as kindling for My fire. Many say it will be transferred into
the hands of My people. I have done that and now that time is about to
end. The times of your money changers in My temple are about to see the
end of the money flow.

I AM about to turn the earth upside down. The earth is tired and weary
of the abuse to it. It is about to come apart at the seams. The Earth
is Mine and the things therein. I abide in those that see Me as I AM.

There are those whom I have sent for a time as this. They know what
they were sent for. Their time for appearing is near. I know how long you
have waited to hear Me say, Go and do My bidding in the earth. It
won’t be long. All is set for My coming.

Many think they know how it will happen. They will be surprised how
little they were ready for Me. They will shake and tremble and think they
are losing their mind, but in it I will save them. They were faithful
in what they knew of Me.

I see the hearts of the faithful. The ones who repent quickly when they
learn they were in error. They do not harden their hearts as Pharaoh
did. I strive to the end with men to bring them to the knowledge of who I
AM, and yet all do not listen.

As long as war is in the earth among men there is no real peace. I AM
going to bring true peace to you in a way you never thought or have
seen. Psalms 56

God's Promise

Have You ever felt like God let You down? What if I rephrase it: Have You ever felt like God didn't keep His Word? Think about it for a minute. Have You wondered and even complained, that He didn't come through the way You thought He said He would? We know, for instance, that God has promised to protect and care for His children in this world. He promised to make them strong, to fill their hearts with joy and peace that passes all understanding. We know that God has promised to answer our prayers. Yet at times those promises seems very empty. Our prayers for a rebellious child or an unsaved spouse seems to go unanswered. A friend dies of cancer, Inflation soars and literally chews up our paychecks. Neighborhoods that we all live in has crime gets very worse by the days. Terrorist plagues the world daily. And Jesus Christ hasn't come back yet. What has happened to God's Promises? Has God failed to keep His word? Have our own expectations exceeded God's Promises? ________________________________________________________________ What is a Promise? The way that some people use the term, a promise is nothing more than a good intention - easily discarded if it gets in the way. They see a promise a promise as something that is very broken. But when God makes a promise, He's doing more than just wishful thinking. He's giving His absolutely trustworthy word! The orgininal language of the Old Testament does not have a specific word for the concept of promise, but that doesn't mean the idea isn't there. The Hebrew words ( amar,dabar) that are translated by the English word "Promise" have the same meaning of "To Say" or " To Speak". When God and others in the Bible speak about what they will do in the future, the word promise fits very well. In each case, the speaker's word, honor, and integrity are at stake. _________________________________________________________ The Promises of God are the heart of the Bible The New Testament follows the same pattern as the Old Testament. God Stands behind what He says. Therefore naturally from the greek word" angelia" which means " an announcement" or " a message". The promises of God are the heart of our Bibles. Every single thing that God has spoken, every annoucement, every message, is really a promise on God's perfect, good, and very trustworthy character.

---

Why is there so much confusion about the way God keeps His promises? At times, a gap develops between what we think God has said He would do and what we see happening in our daily life experience.This gap, however, say more about our own failure to understand than about God's ability to remain true. Our own confusion can be due to any one (or several) of the following factors.

---

(1.) Faulty Expectations: At times we may fall into a trap of thinking that God will keep His promises in the way we expect. We might assume that He will do it in ways that are immediately obvious rather than in a manner that becomes apparent only in time. We change our external circumstances and enviroment when what He really wants us to see is that His promises can be fulfilled through inner changes. We tend to be shortsighted. God is into long - range planning We see only the tip of the surface, here - and -now events, and we then do not know how God is working behind the scenes to fit the pieces together to form an overall patteren. The ways of God has acted in the past, through, shows that He fulfills some promises in stages or in unexpected ways.

---

(2.) Faulty Interpretations: We may simply miss the point of what God has said. Or we may understand a biblical promise accturately but fail to see that God gave the promise to someone else in a particular situation. A small book collected biblical promises states in the introduction: " Take each promise accurately to mean just exactly what it says. Don't try to read between the lines." That may sound good. We certainly must advoid "reading between the lines " of scripture, but it is dangerous to say that we should not try to interpret the promises. That can be a huge mistake. Failure to understand a promise in its context can lead to some very bad conclusions. Too many people go around quoting Bible verses as promise were given specific biblical characters, a nation, or only people of a certain time period.

( 3.) Faulty Feelings: Our emotions have a way of taking over (us) being in the drivers seat of our own lives!Wrong emotions can over rule right thinking! As a result, if we have been hurt, we blame God for not doing what we think He promised. The death of a loved one can cause us to lost perspective if we allow our feelings to over ride the truth about God. A failed romance or a marriage on the rocks can and will trigger doubts. Personal rejection, failure, loss of jobb, physical pain, or injustic can and will stir-up feelings against God that literally becomes stronger than any force of reason.

---

(4.) Faulty Memory: When it comes to remembering, we can all be like an absent-minded professor whom forgets how to get home. We can be all wrapped up in the details of everyday life that we forget more than just anniversaries, birthdays, phone calls, groceries and appointments. We even forget those things that maeans the most of us - the evidence of God's faithfulness in our very lives and how He has fullfilled His promises to us in the past. As a result, we lose confidence in His ability to remain faithful to Him in the future.

So now what do We do? How do we bring our own expectations and feelings in line with our Gods plans and truths? How do we live a fulfilling life by "faith" in our God's promises? Let's see how we can begin to resolve those issues! We've seen our nations political areas that often times run on simliar agendas in our nations, towns, cities, and in our small country towns that are off the beaten paths in our lives today. They have all of those for-told promises that they just don't often times stick to what they have said, or have literally expanded beyond themselves that just don't measure up at all. Most of all all of our nations candidates being national, or state seems to always break their promises to us as a whole body of a nation, or in our states, because if they were truthful enough inside of themselves they couldn't hold up to all of those promises and platitudes of what had been on their agendas when it comes down to hold all offices . Nor could or would intended to keep them, nor fulfiil them at all. Often times it's beyond their power and ability to fulfill those promises. Maybe it was an unseen string of events or the information had changed the politican's mind about their own wisdom of it's orginal intentions in the first place. Those poweful intersts groups may have extered pressure, making sure that get what was promised, while the less influential people seems to get lost totally in that kind of a crowd. God, through, is not like those people in the politican, corpirate executive, a supervisior, teacher, student, employee, coach, player, mother, father, or a child. Everybody - not just all of those politicans - has a problem in kepping promises. We have all those idfficulty following through in keeping them and have said them in keeping one's own word to others in our life. God, however, does Not! He has all the power and wisdom in our whole universe at His very own disposal. He will Never have to make an excuses for failing to fulfill All what He's promised us in the Word of God. Therefore, what is our own excuses for not fully - believing it or Him ! We've already seen example of those concepts and ideas, and reasons that others do before us today. Together, let us see some answers that very well give us answers so that can correct one's own views of God and All of His promises.

On God's Terms: God's terms for keeping His own advertised promises are always clearly stated. And what He promises, He will deliever them to us . Some of them has an unconditional guarantee. That is, He does promise to hold all of them up on His end of that agreement No matter what we do in our life. Then there are promises that that carry with directions ( conditions) that All of us Must follow if we are to fully enjoy All that He has offered to us in our life. These conditional promises are very dependent on us fulfilling certain requirements in our life. Remember psalms 100 it reminds us of the character qualities of the One whom makes them of All of the promises are on His terms.

Psalm 100

1Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all ye lands.

2Serve the LORD with gladness: come before his presence with singing.

3Know ye that the LORD he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.

4Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name.

5For the LORD is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth to all generations. He's the One who continually to be the Lord over All of His creations in the earth. By His nature God is good, merciful, and always forever true to His Word. The rest of our Bibles tells us how God's promises to (us) his manking reflect those qualities. Because He is ALL those things, we do NOThave to fear when We hear that God keeps His promises on His terms only. But if We continue to Sin. We then are continuing in having All of those results in those terrbile consequences. Our own experience of God's delievering power should be that motivator for us to live for Him with All of our strength.

What are the conditions, and what are they in being attached to God's Promises that He set down before us? Many of them are like all of those appliances that we have in our each individual homes that has come with those warranties that does hold true to those prepective buyers that come with them as we take them home. But if we don't do those things that come with all of those appliances then it becomes null- and void unto us, in which it contains in thier agreement. Here is some of the agreements that already have been listed in our scriptures: (1.) Adam & Eve in which were in the garden of which they had a promised life that they could enjoy life in the garden If they would follow God's rules, but they would suffer the daeth penalty If they disobeyed God. ( Gen. 2:16,17).
God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good? (Num.23:19). The Covenant that God made with Moses and all of the people in Isreal at Mount Sinai which had contained may conditions. Prior which to giving them all of those Ten Commandments, God had made that covenat agreement with Him snf obeyed Him fully. He would care for them as His special treasure. ( Ex.19:3-6). He did those simliar things when God handed down those things when it came in worshipping idols, but He showed them all the love to those whom loved Him. ( Ex.20:4-6). He promised to hold the guilty anyone whom spoke His name in disrespectful of God and His name, or in a contemptous way ( v.7). He promised long life in the promise land to those whom honored their parents (v.12). In Exodus 23:20-33, God said He would wipe out Isreal's enemies when they went into Palestine, He would take away sickness, and He would ensure long life and No miscarriages. However, the conditions included paying attention to obeying the Angel of God, worshiping God, and Not making a covenant with their enemies or allowing them to live in the promise land. The tempations of life within the promised land serves as a vivid illustration of how proper standards and bounderies can tragically be forgotton in one's own life. Just as the Isrealities were warned about their own tendency to make good, clean start and then they compromised their own values and goals, as they themselves made treaties with those people of Palenstine that was in the land. They were to be pushing them right out, then compromise, allowed certain practices to go unchecked. In the end, these things will spell disaster, erroding the new life that not only that they was going to build on, but with us just as those same prinicples. There are so many more conditions that God had laid out before us but just as they don't keep them in our life, we are so simliar to those people in the Word of God it's down right being disrepectful to God unless we come to His terms to change within us as His special people in this nation.He has given us His beloved promises to be keeping unto Him re-guard less how they seem or look unto us today. In having those unconditional promises in which God will do what He says He will do before us in our life. But we do need to relalize that they have a string attached to them and how are own faithfulness unto God. There is No way in stopping it from happening. The fulfillment of unconditional promises does not depend on the faithfulness of people, but only God. Even if we are unfaithful, God cannot only only be faithful to His Word (2Tim.2:13). Let's look at some examples of unconditional promises: (1.) God told Noah that He would never again send a world wide flood ( Gen.9:8-17). (2.) God prmosed Abraham a son, a nation from his descendents, and a land ( Gen.15). David recieved assurance that his royal line would last forever ( 2Sam. 7:16). God repeatedly toldIsreal of His unfailing love for them and His ultimate plan to restore their nation ( Jer.30-33). Jesus Christ said He would return to earth to reward the righteous and punish the wicked ( Mt. 16:27;25:31-46). Jesus Christ promised that after He ascended to heaven He would send the Holy Spirit (Jhn.16:5-15). Jesus Christ said that Satan's forces would never over come the church ( Jhn.16:18). Jesus Christ promised to save, keep, and resurrect to eternal life all whom trust Him ( Jhn.6:35-40). ___________________________________________________________________ Can God's promises ever be only partially fulfilled? Yes, Some of the promises may be fulfilled in part because only part of the conditions have been met, or the promises may be fulfilled in stages acording to God's plan. Example: (Dt.7:22) ( Isa.9:6,7;11; Jer.33:14-26; Zec.9:9,10); (Isa.53). ____________________________________________________________ The Proverbs are promises in the broad sense they describe how God rewards those whom fear Him and live wisely, and how He opposes those whom disregard Him and live very foolishly. We can interpret the proverbs within the context of the Old Testament of all those biblical truths. The proverbs offer practical wisdom about the effects of certain kind of actions. like violence, ignoring wisdom, will lead to a shortened life. (1:18,19); 1:19-33). Instead of having a life that enjoys God's favor (1:1-8). We do know within it's contexts of proverbs, though cannot be understood as a promise of here and now results.God does reserves the right to delay perfect justice until the day of His judgement. Many of promises verses at least 3 of them do promise wealth, healthsafety, and happiness to those whom follow the path of wisdom. In proverbs 10:3 says that the righteous person will not go hungry. A righteous person will not be touched by trouble, accordingly to (19:23).Not one of us would deny that these proverbs do reflect the general principles of how God has designed life to operate - we weep what we sow (Prov.11:2426; 22:8,9; 2Cor.9:6; Gal.9:6,7). But our lifes is not very predictable - as the experiences of Job, David, Solomon, the Apostle Paul, and the other Bible characters has demonstrated for us within the bible context. In many cases, God has something better in store for a person than immediate here - and -now blessings - such people are laying up treasures in heaven. Proverbs has a more down to earth principles for our everyday life. The person whom want to be wise and enjoy God's favor will read the proverbs and put their God- fearing instruction into practice. __________________________________________________ To His intended Audience: God has the ability to prosper anyone that He chooses to prosper. The author of Psalms 145 recognize that it truly belongs to us as a person and not be fooled in it's intended purposes by God., and whom it was intended and limited to whom it is adressed too. Like a selected person or group of people in whom God sends it to Himself. The LORD is good to all: and his tender mercies are over all his works.Thou openest thine hand, and satisfiest the desire of every living thing.The LORD is nigh unto all them that call upon him, to all that call upon him in truth.The LORD preserveth all them that love him: but all the wicked will he destroy.Psalm 145:9; Psalm 145:16; Psalm 145:18; Psalm 145:20. Before we can claim one of God's promises, we need to know if He is talking to us or not.

What has God promised to all people: A few of the promises that apply to all the inhabitants of the earth include: salvation to those whom believe and condemnation to all whom reject Jesus Christ ( Jhn.3:16-18); the assurance that the earth will never again be destroyed by a flood ( Gen.9:11) ; a continuation of the cycles of nature as long as the earth exists ( Gen.8:22); a history that will colminate according to God's master plan ( Dan.7-12); a day of judgement for believers ( 2Cor.5:10); and unbelievers ( Rev.20:11-15); a promise that God's character will not change ( 1 Sam.15:29; Mal.3:6; Jas.1:17); rewards for all whom diligently seek Him( Heb.11;6); and the certainty that everything He says will happen will happen ( Mt.5:18; 24:34,35).

What God promised to all believers: According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue:_4Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.2 Peter 1:3,4 . Among those great promises ( conditional & unconditional ) are the following : Provisions for needs: ( Mt.6:25-34). Answers to prayers: (Mt.7:7-11; 1hn.5:14,15). All we need to live 4 Him ( 2 Pe.1:3,4). Rewards for service: (2 Cor.5:10). Help in Praying ( Rom.8:26). Eternal Life: ( Jhn.3:16;5:24). A Home in heaven ( Jhn.14:1-4). Assurance of Salvation (Jhn.10:29). The Holy Spirit within : ( Eph.1:13,14). Spiritual Gifts: ( Rom.12:3-8; 1Cor.12). Forgivness for Daily Sins: (1 Jhn. 1:9). Peace of Mind ( Phil.4:7). A way to defeat temptation ( 1Cor.10:13). Wisdom in times of Testing: ( Jas. 1:5). Power for living ( Eph.1:19;3:20). Access to God through Prayer ( Eph.3:12). Mercy and grace in times of need ( Heb.4:16). The Illumination of the Spirit ( 1Cor.2:6-16). Freedom from Sins grip( Rom.6:22). Loving Discipline: ( Heb.12:3-11). Ability to make Satan flee( Jas.4:7). Ressurrection to glory ( 1Thess.4:16,17). Strength to do God's will ( Phil.4:13).

What has God promised to Isreal? The history of that nation has been one repeated promises and the people's failures to benefit from God's gracious offers. The Old Testament, the books of Moses, the writtings, and all of those prophets - are full of God's promises. The promises come in the form of assurances of God's love and care for them, as well as prophectic statements about Isreal's future of the surrounding nations. A few of the many promises to Isreal are: Possession of the Land of Palestine ( Gen.13:14-17); the law of blessings and curses ( Dt.28); judgement, exile, restoration, the prophets; a Messiah ( Isa.52,53).

---

Even though some of promises were given to specific people, can't the principles apply to us? Here is some examples; Pre-flood inhabitants death: ( Gen.6). Noah & family rescue ( Gen.7;1). Abraham descendants 9 Gen.12:1-3;15:1-6). Jacob's family blessings ( Gen.28:10-16). Jews: a land of "Milk & Honey" (Ex.3:8). Moses Mirculos signs ( Ex.4:1-7). Pharoah and his people plagues ( Ex.5-14). Joshua : a dry path through the river: (Josh.3). Gideon: victory in battle ( Jud..6:16). Saul: abilities needed as king(1Sam.10:6). David: a son to build the temple ( 2Sam.7). Solomon: wisdom and riches(1i.3:10-14). Hezekiah: 15 more years of life( 2Ki.20:5,6). Mary: a supernatural conception ( Lk.1:26-38). Disciples: Spirit- aided memory( Jhn.14:26). Paul: strength to endure infirmities ( 2Cor.12:9). Even through some promises were given to specific people, can't the principles apply to us ? In some cases yes, and in other cases No. If the promise reflects an unchanging characteristic of God and how He relates to us, then we can reasonably assume that God is unchanging ( Jas.1:17). He will continue to reflect that promise is relating to other people. For an example: when the Lord told the Apostle Paul " My strength is made in perfect weakness," He was addressing a specific situation in Paul's life - the "thorn in the flesh" of 2 Cor.12:7-10). Yet, that truth applies to all people whom recognize their weakness and reach out to God for strength ( Eph.1:9). An example of a promise that we cannot rightfully claim is the one given to Joshua when the Lord said, " I will give You every place where that the sole of Your foot shall tread upon, that I have given unto You, as I said unto Moses" ( Josh. 1:3). That might sound like a great promise to claim if we are looking for a home and didn't have enough money, but we would be out of order to do so. That promise could remind us that God can give us anything He in His wisdom and power chooses to give us - including a home that we can afford.

What is the danger of claiming for ourselves the promises that were given specifically to other people? Take the time to re-read that above list of promises given to believers. Thank the Lord for what He has promised.

By His Methods: While we sit and scratch our own heads trying to figure out how God is going to answer a prayer or fulfill His promises, He calmy and powerfully working out of His plans, oftentimes behind the scenes of life, in ways and for reasons that we ourselves cannot comprehend. In Isaiah 55, the Lord describes our own inability to understand His methods: 1Ho, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters, and he that hath no money; come ye, buy, and eat; yea, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price.

2Wherefore do ye spend money for that which is not bread? and your labour for that which satisfieth not? hearken diligently unto me, and eat ye that which is good, and let your soul delight itself in fatness.

3Incline your ear, and come unto me: hear, and your soul shall live; and I will make an everlasting covenant with you, even the sure mercies of David.

4Behold, I have given him for a witness to the people, a leader and commander to the people.

5Behold, thou shalt call a nation that thou knowest not, and nations that knew not thee shall run unto thee because of the LORD thy God, and for the Holy One of Israel; for he hath glorified thee.

6Seek ye the LORD while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near:

7Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.

8For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD.

9For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.

10For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater:

11So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.

12For ye shall go out with joy, and be led forth with peace: the mountains and the hills shall break forth before you into singing, and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands.

13Instead of the thorn shall come up the fir tree, and instead of the brier shall come up the myrtle tree: and it shall be to the LORD for a name, for an everlasting sign that shall not be cut off. Although His reasons may elude us, and His methods may suprise us, God always fulfills His promises. As the Apostle Paul said:Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men.( 1 Cor.1:25). God has already shown us His fulfilled Promises and prophecies of the Bible have already been fulfilled. In many cases the fulfillment of the Promises was clear and undeniable, just as expected. The Frogs(Ex.8). David's son would build the temple (2Sam.7:1-17; 1Kgs.5-8). When God said that Judah would be judged for her unfaithfulness and exled ( jER.25). God promised a Savior; The Messiah:( Isa.53;Mt.1). Jesus said He would destroy the temple in A.D.70 It was Demolished (Mt.24:2). Jesus Christ promised to build His church and it's been growing ever since. ( Mt.16:18). Jesus Christ promised to send the Holy Spirit, and the day of Pentecost the Spirit came.(Jhn.14:16,17; Acts.2:1-4). God told the Apostle Paul was not harmed ( Acts 18:9-11). Our Bible is full of those promises being fulfilled in very obvious ways, just as one would expect. At other times, through God's methods are a little harder to understand.

---

In what mysterious ways does God fulfill His Promises? Sometimes we may have a very hard time recognizing how God has fulfilled a promise or imagining how He will fulfill a promise. Few of the people in the Bible just couldn' see the promises that God has already told them about when Jesus Christ came in the higher ups couldn't even understand Him and got angry at Him and produced an angry mob to get Him to the Cross. But what it did do was bring the Jews and Gentiles togather into the body of Jesus Christ as the church. No one anticipated such a long time between Messiah's work as the Redeemer and His work as a Judge and King. Look at God's palns in Salvation, forgivness, resurrection, believers in glorified bodies, indwelling of Jesus Christ, established His church. Scriptures : ( Rom.11:25; Eph.3:2-6; Rom.16:25; Col.15:51-54), ( Col.1:27; Eph.3:8-10). At the center of God's mysterious fulfilment of promises about our salvation, our present life, and the life to come is Jesus Christ. ( 2Cor.1:20). Jesus Christ fulfills the heart of all that " the Law of Moses and the Prophets and the Psalms " spoke about (Lk.24:44). The Old and New Testament Covenant promises are based on and find their fulfillment in what Jesus Christ has done and will do ( Rom.9-11; Gal.3-5; Heb.7-10).
