Is your church doctrine keeping you from experiencing the Fulness of Christ?

O Lord: my spirit faileth: theunfetteredpreacher

Psalm 143:7-8
Hear me speedily, O Lord: my spirit faileth: hide not thy face from me, lest I be like unto them that go down into the pit. Cause me to hear thy lovingkindness in the morning; for in thee do I trust: cause me to know the way wherein I should walk; for I lift up my soul unto thee.”

My sister would be 73 or 74 this month if still alive, my brother a year younger, in October if he was living. 

Dad’s Been gone for a long time, (25+ years),  Mom for several years.

I do have a niece,  married with a lovely young daughter.  They live 12 hours away.   They work hard and I pray they prosper.  (Also that they would love the Lord).

As for me:

Lord, cause me to know the way wherein I should walk; for I lift up my soul unto thee.”

Death, Destruction, Depression, Despondency…   are not the way of the Lord.

You shall go out with joy and be led forth with peace, the mountains and the hills shall break forth before you, there will be shouts of joy and the trees of the field will clap their hands.”

That is the way I  must go, singing….

“Hear me speedily, O Lord: my spirit faileth: hide not thy face from me,”

Lord, give me wisdom and grace.  That I might continue this race.  Reaching forth to the high calling of Your Love.

Lord, give me strength and the will.  A clear mind to know You and Your ways for my life.

Help me Jesus, to overcome.   For I trust, rely on and believe Your promise.


Cause me to know Your loving kindness.
  Amen

He could do no mighty work: theunfetteredpreacher

Jesus came to His home town, the place He grew up, where people knew Him and His family, from His youth.    It’s a sad commentary. 

Mark 6

And he could there do no mighty work, save that he laid his hands upon a few sick folk, and healed them.

And he marvelled because of their unbelief.

He finds the same problem when He enters His Church today.  

He marvels because of our unbelief,  and can do no mighty work, save healing a few sick people. “

Saints, we have a problem.   We have forgotten how to believe.   We see no mighty works, we marvel when He heals a few sick people.

He left His home town.   “And he went round about the villages, teaching.”

What and how did He teach?   He taught His Disciples and all who would receive.  

Saints, He has left our places of Traditions, and Rituals and is out and about, finding “whosoever will believe.

Matthew 9:35
And Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease among the people.”

Healing the sick, was a part of His teaching, He healed all who asked and some who didn’t.  He sent out His twelve.

And he called unto him the twelve, and began to send them forth by two and two; and gave them power over unclean spirits; And they went out, and preached that men should repent. And they cast out many devils, and anointed with oil many that were sick, and healed them.

We have a lot of Preachers,  they speak marvelous words, tell exciting stories, and wondrous tales… they gather the hungry and feed them fluff.

The Church grows weaker in strength, they “do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God.”

We need to teach the Gospel of the kingdom.   God with us…  Available and Able to meet our needs.

Physical,  Emotional, Financial, our God is the one who supplies exceedingly above all we ask, think or even image.

Quit making excuses when you pray for the sick.   Only believe,  Trust and Rely on His promises. 

Believe His Word and walk away.   It is His (the Holy Spirits), job to preform,  not yours.

Learn to pray His Word, learn to submit yourself to God, learn to fast whatever comes between you and the Lord.


Seek His face, Seek His power, know His will and walk in it.

Amen




The land, is not as the land of Egypt: theunfetteredpreacher

Deuteronomy 11:10
King James Version (KJV)
For the land, whither thou goest in to possess it, is not as the land of Egypt, from whence ye came out:”

The Land, the Promised Land, is not like the land of Egypt. We are no longer in bondage, in slavery, to a ruler, to work at his pleasure.

Saints, this is a truth we need to understand. 

 We have a new King.  We are no longer building earthly monuments.   

We are to build a Spiritual Kingdom.

As Christians, we entered the promised land, just as the Hebrews did.  (Hopefully it didn’t take us 40 years to reach it.  Although, I was close to 30).

The Promised Land today is the Kingdom of God.   It has different rules and regulations than the World we are used to. 

Mark 1:15
And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.”

If we believe the Gospel,  then we live in this new world.  The Kingdom of God.

Mark 4:30-32
King James Version (KJV)
And he said, Whereunto shall we liken the kingdom of God? or with what comparison shall we compare it?

It is like a grain of mustard seed, which, when it is sown in the earth, is less than all the seeds that be in the earth:

But when it is sown, it groweth up, and becometh greater than all herbs, and shooteth out great branches; so that the fowls of the air may lodge under the shadow of it.”

It is bigger than anything we can imagine, but we are the vessels the Lord is using to build it.

We must suspend, our carnel beliefs, ideas and ways, and lift up our eyes to where our help resides.  Open our hearts and minds to His will and ways.

Mark 10:15
Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall not enter therein.”

We must attain a child like faith, accept the Word of God as truth, Speak it, Believe it, Watch it come to pass, as we Walk in it.

Luke 9:11
And the people, when they knew it, followed him: and he received them, and spake unto them of the kingdom of God, and healed them that had need of healing.”

We need to quit worrying about what to eat or drink, put our carnel needs and desires aside,  and concern ourselves with His Will and Plan.

Luke 12:31
But rather seek ye the kingdom of God; and all these things shall be added unto you.”

Luke 10:9
And heal the sick that are therein, and say unto them, The kingdom of God is come nigh unto you.”

Romans 14:17
For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.”

1 Corinthians 4:20
For the kingdom of God is not in word, but in power.”

We have entered the place that  the Lord will give to “whosoever,”  whatsoever is needed to fulfil His will and work. 

We cannot do His will and work effectively,  if we do not accept all He has given us to work with.    

We cannot begin in the Spirit, getting Saved, called to His Work, and expect His results, when we walk and work in our own power.

We must believe, and allow the Holy Spirit to rule and reign in our hearts.


We must allow ourselves to become Holy Spirit dispensers…  Allow the Lord to flow through us in Power, to save the lost, heal the sick and comfort the brokenhearted.    Amen
