Crisis Of Faith

Shout out to Pastor Keith Battle on his message entitled a crisis of faith. This is what I took from his message. And I put a major spin on it. John chapter 14: verses 1-6 reads...Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also. And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know. Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way? Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father but by me. In verse 6 Thomas had a crisis of faith because he said to Jesus we don't know where you going and how can we know the way. And check this out Jesus answered him and said Thomas I am the way the truth and the life no man cometh to the father but by me. Some of might have a crisis of faith sometimes in our life. You might get tired of church and you don't want to go no more cause you saying to yourself, what for? This doesn't make sense. You've been to church and heard all these sermons about Jesus and you believe because you feel like you have to but you don't really understand it. And that makes you question God. Proverbs 3:5 tells us to trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. The word of God is not for your own understanding. This is not saying you can't or shouldn't understand scriptures, it's saying that the word of God is not meant for your reasoning. In other words don't try to make sense of the word of God. All of the word of God doesn't make sense. I mean Jesus was born from a virgin.. What it's saying is trust in the Lord with all your heart. This may be one of the reasons you may have a crisis of faith. Because you get tired when God doesn't answer all of your prayers when you want him to. When you pray and ask God for something you may think you need it now and if you don't get it now you get upset and have a crisis of faith. God hears your prayers and he will answer all of them when he feels you really, really need it, he's always on time. Jeremiah 1:12 says I am ready to perform my word. John 16:24 says ask and you will receive. Matthew 21:22 says whatever things you ask in prayer, believing, you will receive. John 14:14 reads if you ask anything in my name, I will do it. John 16:23 reads whatever you ask the Father in my name he will give you. The proof is in the pudding. Subscribe to this channel, like it, share it, and God bless.

Hard Work

Shout out to Pastor Keith Battle at Zion church in Glenarden, Maryland. I get the word of God from him and I summarize it for you to get a quick message from God. You can catch his online services every Sunday, just go to http://zionchurchonline.com/ One of the messages he had was entitled "I got work to do" I'm calling it hard work. God has given everyone skills. You need to identify your skills because they are your unique anointing. It's something you do with ease that's hard for other people to do. Exodus 35:31 in the NIV reads...And he has filled him with the Spirit of God, with wisdom, with understanding, with knowledge and with all kinds of skills. Once you have identified your skills you need to work hard when your in a profession that you are skilled in. You are not going to be successful without hard work. Proverbs 10:4 in the NLV reads...He who works with with a lazy hand is porr, but the hand of the hard worker brings riches. You will wind up with nothing if you don't work hard but if you work hard you will have more than you need. This is not me talking this is the word of God. Take a look at Proverbs 13:4 in the NLV...The soul of the lazy person has strong desires but gets nothing, but the soul of the one who does his best gets more than he needs. Work hard but don't over work your self, you need your rest so you can continue to work hard. Exodus 23:12 in the NLV reads...You will work six days and rest on the seventh day. So your bull and your donkey may rest. And the son of your female servant, and the stranger may get their strength again. Now I know some of us must work on the weekend, so look at the scripture you don't have to rest on a certain day, just rest on the seventh day, pick a day any day, and rest. Proverbs 23:4 in the NLV reads... Do not work hard to be rich. Stop trying to get things for yourself. Even when you work for someone who pays you you actually should be doing your work for the Lord. Colossians 3:23 reads in the NLV...Whatever work you do, do it with all your heart. Do it for the Lord and not for men. Don't work hard for money or for men work hard for the Lord. Don't chase money and let money be the focus in your life. Psalms 62:10 in the NLV reads...Don't get money in a wrong way or be proud of stolen things. If you get more riches, do not set your heart on them. Don't get caught up in schemes and get rich quick plans. Schemes don't last. Proverbs 13:11 in the NLV reads...Riches taken by false ways become less and less, but riches grow for the one who gathers by hard work. Subscribe to this channel, like it, share it, God bless. Now to Pastor Keith Battle. I heard you say during your "I got work to do" message that someone on Youtube was using your sermons. I have a feeling that you were talking about me. It's just that your sermons are so awesome & life changing I wanted to share them as a quick message that people can listen to, if there not into the whole 40 minute thing. I pray that you will give me your blessing to continue doing what I'm doing. God bless you Pastor.

Sex

God does not allow sex in your marriage he encourages it. Sex is human nature, your sex drive is how God created you but sex is for your husband or your wife. Someone is going to have a bigger sex drive than the other, in a marriage you have to talk about it and come to an understanding. Communication with no filter in a marriage is key to the success of your marriage. Your sexual drive can actually be one of the determining factors for you to be in pursuit of marriage. It's actually your job to fulfill your spouses sexual needs. Lets take a look at 1st Corinthians chapter 7 verses 1-4. Now concerning the things whereof ye wrote unto me: It is good for a man not to touch a woman. Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband. Let the husband render unto the wife due benevolence: and likewise also the wife unto the husband. The wife hath not power of her own body, but the husband: and likewise also the husband hath not power of his own body, but the wife.

Put Away Childish Ways

1st Corinthians chapter 13 verse 11 reads... When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child; but when I became a man, I put away childish things. When you grow up and become an adult your childish ways don't just go away, your childish ways are still there, the thing you have to do now is put it away, and that takes some work and walking in God and by faith. Things you used to do and think about as a child you may still do and think about as an adult. Immature thoughts. Letting temptation take over. Temptation can only take over if your temptable, and being temptable is childish. Put it away. Romans chapter 8 verse 5 in the NIV reads... Those who live according to the flesh have their minds set on what the flesh desires; but those who live in accordance with the Spirit have their minds set on what the Spirit desires. Don't live according to the flesh, live according to the spirit, change your mind and put away childish ways, and remember Luke 17;21 tells us; the Kingdom of God is in us.

Proof Of Christ Being The Messiah

When someone dies their remains are left and ultimately found unless they are buried. I mean we even found the remains of dinosaurs. But we have never found the remains of Jesus Christ. John chapter 14 verse 6 reads; Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. That's a bold statement to make. How could he prove it? Well it was prophesied, and when you talk about prophecies that are supposed to be true you need more than one person or at least a few people saying the same thing. There are a least 250 prophecies about Christ being the Messiah or the son of God in the bible. Just google prophecies of Jesus Christ and you'll see. All of these prophecies? It must be true. So quit with the doubt and start to believe and don't forget to google "prophecies of Jesus Christ" Happy Easter and God bless; and don't forget to share, like, and subscribe to this channel.

God's Will For Your Life Part 2

How to know God's will for your life part 2. In part 1 I talked about renewing your mind. Now I will talk briefly on how walking with God will help you to understand his perfect will for you. You may come to God with questions, questions like what do I do now or what do I do next. When you ask these questions you may get frustrated because sometimes you won't receive an answer right away. Sometimes God won't answer you right away because he is a walk and see God. Believe in him and trust that his word is true because there is something precious about the seeking. If he answers you right away you may stop seeking. But God want's us to continue seeking, waiting patiently with faith that he will answer and supply all of our needs. Because during your seeking you will start to grow, learn, and establish a better relationship with God.
