Whatever You Allow




MATTHEW 18:18
18 I promise you that God in heaven will allow whatever you allow on earth, but he will not allow anything you don't allow.

 Many think whatever happens is God's will. But the Bible reveals God's will and lets us know we have a part to play in cooperating with God to see His will come to pass in our lives. According to Jesus, God's will is that things be on earth as they are in Heaven (Matthew 6:10).

God gave us a free will. We must choose God's will, for God does not force it on us. Sickness is not of God. There is no sickness in Heaven. Acts 10:38 reveals that sickness is an oppression of the devil. So we should resist sickness. Poverty is not of God. There is no lack in Heaven. Selfishness, strife, unforgiveness, and hatred are not of God. None of those are in Heaven. These are all things we should not allow in our lives.

 The devil cannot do anything in your life unless you allow it. Scripture says that if you will resist the devil he will flee from you. JAMES 4:7 NKJ 7 ...submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you.

 1 PETER 5:8-9 NKJ 8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. 9 Resist him, steadfast in the faith,.... Too many people resist only for a short time then quit resisting. If something is not God's will then we should maintain the attitude that it is not acceptable. If something bad is in your life it is only because you allow it to remain. You can decide to refuse and resist. Whatever you will put up with is what you will have. But if you decide something is unacceptable then it can change. "But I tried to resist and it would not leave." Resisting does not mean trying for awhile. Resisting evil should never stop. Resist to death. Never quit. Never give up. Never give in. Fight the good fight of faith until victory is manifest.

 EPHESIANS 4:27 NKJ 27 nor give place to the devil. SAY THIS: I refuse to allow any of the works of the devil in my life.

welcome to my blog

Oh the waterfall of cleansing Grace! Welcome to my Grace blog.  I hope to both share and start a dialogue about Jesus Christ and how his life, relationships and teaching have a practical working value in our everyday lives. To go beyond our belief of Jesus... and into our belief in Jesus. I hope we can learn more about how the finished work of Christ on the cross empowers his work in us in our daily lives. I hope we can grow in His Grace and Wisdom! The name came from a Joseph Prince story in his book  "Destined to Reign"...here's the story: Prince tells the story of a young boy who found a rock out in the woods. Though it looked rough at first, he rinsed it in the small waterfall of a nearby stream. Turns out, the rock was marbly, smooth, and full of color. Not wanting to lose the rock, and afraid someone would take it from him if he took it home, he buried it back in the dirt in a tucked away place before he went home for the night. There, he left it. The ne...

... that saved a wretch like me.

my story is not much different from any other alcoholic or drug addict who is in recovery. we sought out a higher power because our Lives be came on manageable. through much self examination we came to understand our defects in character... we reached out to others for fellowship and mentoring. I, as many have, came to believe in Jesus as my higher power and five years ago I accepted Christ... I got into a church and started reading my Bible. I slowly developed a thirst for knowledge of God in His Word. my grandmother has been sending Christian books for years and I just shelved them, so I already had a decent size Christian library. I also be came a big watcher of Christian television. I tried out several different churches... looking for a place I could feel at home in. having had a big interest in philosophy and world religions in college, I had sampled from the religion buffet. I guess you could say I became ravenous with my new found faith. I read and listen to anything I could ge...

Giving Money Is One Way To Show Honor

PROVERBS 3:9-10 NKJ 9 Honor the LORD with your possessions, And with the firstfruits of all your increase; 10 So your barns will be filled with plenty, And your vats will overflow with new wine. Giving money is not the only way to show honor, but it is one way. The word translated honor means to value. Honoring someone is a way of showing them, and others, that they are valuable to you. Scripture connects giving of money with honor. Specifically included are God, your parents, those who preach or teach the Word of God, and widows.  MATTHEW 15:4-6 NLT 4 For instance, God says, `Honor your father and mother,' and `Anyone who speaks evil of father or mother must be put to death.'" 5 But you say, `You don't need to honor your parents by caring for their needs if you give the money to God instead.' 6 And so, by your own tradition, you nullify the direct commandment of God.  1 TIMOTHY 5:17-18 NKJ 17 Let the elders who rule well be counted worthy of double hono...
