“Deception Never Satisfies” out of Proverbs 6:23-33. In our spiritual walk and relationship with God, the enemy of our soul constantly uses the platform of deception to draw us away from God. Though we know this to be true when thought is given to it, often times the average Christian pays no attention to this demonic strategy, therefore causing many strong men, to fall for the trap. The truth of the matter is that deception never satisfies. Deception leads everyone to an insatiable appetite for the darkest evil there is in existence. No one who gives themselves to the trap is ever satisfied. There is only one who satisfies our soul, it is God, and God alone. Psalm 16:11 “you make known to me the path of life; in your presence, there is fullness of joy; at your right hand are pleasures forevermore”. Amen! This is why it is important to always be connected to God! God has given us a weapon to not only bring light to deception but giving us victory over deception. This weapon is the word of God! Psalm 119:105 “your word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path”. The word of God has been given to us to defuse the effectiveness of deception. Proverbs 6:23 “for this command is a lamp, this teaching is a light, and correction and instruction are the way to life”. Psalm 119:11 “I have hidden Your word in my heart that I might not sin against You”. All of the preceding Bible verses make it clear, the word of God is, and always will be the most powerful tool to extinguish the effectiveness of deception. The word of God goes on to reveal the promise for those who use the word of God to remain faithful to God: Psalm 1:1-3 “blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked or stand in the way of sinners or sit in the seat of markers, but his delight is in the law of the Lord, and on His law, he meditates day and night. He is like a tree planted by streams of water, who yields its fruit and season, and whose leaf does not weather. Everything he does prospers”. The man who meditates on God’s word day and night is a man who can keep the enemy of his soul in check! The enemy relentlessly strategizes against us using deception as the launching pad to everything else in the enemy’s arsenal. The enemy continues to use deception to keep us in the bondage of sin and away from God. It is up to us to infuse the word of God into our lives so that God’s word is in the deepest recesses of our soul, giving us power and authority, through the spirit, to have victory in our lives. AMEN!

Deception Never Satisfies Proverbs 6:23-33

“Looking ignites Lust” out of Genesis 39:7-12. In the study, we will examine the human heart as it pertains to sexual immorality. Though this issue predominantly plagues men, it is a sinful problem that plagues everyone. Our society has infused what is sexually immoral in the sight of God, into our consciousness, making it acceptable in our day-to-day lives. When considering the way people dress, the ads we see on TV and in magazines, movies we watch, and beyond, these are all seeds the enemy plants in our heart to lead us out of our relationship with God. The issue with looking at things that are even mildly inappropriate always leads to greater sin. It is up to us to discipline ourselves to get what we look at, under control. In our Bible study text, it says in Genesis 39:7 that Potiphar’s wife cast “longing eyes” on Joseph. Understanding this strategy from the enemy, the eyes are where everything starts as it pertains to the path of sexual immorality. The fact of the matter is, “looking empowers lust”. It all starts with looking, and it leads to lust. Once we’ve given in to having “longing eyes”, lust takes over and leads to sexual immorality. When we choose to take a stand, the enemy does not give up. Genesis 39:10 says “so it was, as she spoke to Joseph‘s “Day by day”, that he did not heed her, to lie with her or to be with her.” This is how the enemy operates. The enemy operates “day by day”, meaning he is relentless in dangling the carrot of sin in front of us to draw us away from God. This is why it is so crucial that we humble ourselves before the Lord, and that we take up our cross daily, denying ourselves and surrendering to God. We must understand what sexual immorality is in the sight of God. Genesis 39:9 calls sexual immorality “great wickedness”! Considering this “great wickedness”, Joseph, being the man of God he was, took a stand against these "day by day" attacks from the enemy so that he would not commit this great wickedness against God! Almost any other man probably would’ve given in, but Joseph prioritized God in his life! What does Joseph’s testimony show who we ought to be? When push came to shove, Joseph ran from Potiphar’s wife! Now Joseph did not run because he needed to out sprint her. He ran as to not give in to his own flesh! This Bible study will teach us not to have long eyes because longing eyes leads to lust, lust always leads to sexual immorality, and sexual immorality separates us from God! In an evil wicked world, where Internet pornography runs rampant, it is important for us to be the man God has called us to be by humbling ourselves, and taking up our cross daily so that we are prepared for these day-to-day attacks from the enemy! If we discipline what we look at, it defuses lust, and therefore diffusing sexual immorality! To God be the glory when a man takes a stand in this area! No one should ever say it’s not possible, because if Joseph can take a stand, we also can take a stand! Lust shouldn’t be our focus, rather our focus should be what we look at!!! This requires discipline. Discipline requires denying ourselves by taking up our cross daily. Taking up our cross daily requires humility. James 4:10 Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up. If you are willing to take a stand, you can expect the blessing of God in your life! Amen!

When it comes to trust, as people, we actually trust in each other more than we realize. So many people trust you and I to carry out the responsibilities and societal functions we are to do concerning our families, jobs, church body, etc. In addition, we, more than we realize, trust in others to carry out their functions also. As Christians, there are so many things that we rely and trust God for, then we also realize. However, those who don’t realize how much we are trust in others, or trust in God, reveals a heart that is not grateful, considerate, and often times takes these things for granted. When it comes to our relationship with God, we trust and rely on Him with so much and these blessings should serves as a reminder of how much we actually should be trusting in God and how we should always give God thanks for everything! When we become a people who always gives God thanks, our focus turns to the things that we trust God with in our lives to supply all of our needs according to His riches in glory. Oftentimes, we consciously turn to trusting in the Lord only when calamity strikes. It is during those times in our lives where a circumstance will wake us up to turn to God and trust in Him to help us through the circumstance we are facing. And though going through times of trial is a principal in God’s kingdom, which is God at work in our lives teaching us, we should mature as a people of God to become those who trust in God without needing to be reminded to trust in Him through His discipline. In this Bible study we will examine how those who trust in God are blessed and protected, and how sometimes those who become blessed and protected at times forget about God and how God ends up humbling us, and how ultimately those who trust in the Lord are those who are in the safest place possible as followers of Christ. The lesson in this study is to examine the principle of trust, and how we as children of God can mature to a point where we can always trust in God through the times of blessing and times of discipline. AMEN!

“Trust in the Lord” out of Isaiah 26:2–12

In this series, “Attitude of Gratitude”, we are identifying the benefits produced by having gratitude in our Hearts. The word attitude is defined as somebody’s posture or disposition on any given topic in their life. Or simply summed up, it is their position on that topic. If we choose to have a position of negativity towards anything, it will take great persuasion to move us away from that negativity, to a position of being positive. The issue with the human heart is we allow ourselves to be persuaded negatively on any given subject, and sometimes in our maligned thinking, even towards God. This is why it is so important to take a position of gratitude or to have an “Attitude of Gratitude”. In this Bible study we will consider how the wise heed and ponder the Lords deeds and word. When you stop to think in the spirit, those who heed the word of the Lord are those who meditate on God’s word and why He does the things He does, and that He can only do, we begin to understand His greater purpose. The Lord is not slack concerning His promises (2Peter 3:9), but is also not slack concerning His discipline either. In this Bible passage we will look at how the people were humbled by oppression, calamity, and sorrow. This happened to them due to the condition of their hearts. If our God is the same yesterday, today, and forever, are we also subject to the same humbling by oppression, calamity, and sorrow? We must be careful to not be someone who refuses to heed. Heed by definition means to pay attention, to take notice, or to listen. We also must be equally as careful to not be someone who also refuses to ponder. Ponder by definition means to think about carefully, or meditate on. Considering the majority of time spent as a Christian, how often does the average Christian truly heed, and ponder the Lords deeds and word? Truly those who neglect to do this, by default are missing out on how blessed we truly can be. One of the key principles in God’s kingdom that helps us is having a heart of gratitude. Those who have the heart of gratitude as instructed by the word of God, by default always heed and ponder on God. We must be very careful to allow the Lord to be Lord of our lives, by simply not allowing the distractions of this world, our flesh, and the enemy to take hold of our lives. If you are one of these who have neglected God, there is hope! The Word of God says in Psalm 107:6 then they cried out to the Lord and he delivered them from their distress. All we have to do, is cry out! God loves us, and just like the father in the story of the prodigal son, God also will come running from a far out to the road to meet you if you simply come to your senses and cry out to Him! When experiencing God’s deliverance, we can’t help but to give thanks to the Lord, For He is good, His love indoors forever (Psalm 107:1). AMEN!

“The Wise Heed and Ponder the Lords Deeds” out of Psalm 107:1 & 39–43

In this passage of scripture we learn that in their wickedness, God inflicted loss on his people. Psalm 107:33-34 He turned rivers into a desert, flowing springs into thirsty ground, 34 and fruitful land into a salt waste, because of the wickedness of those who lived there. Verse 34 clearly states that it was the wickedness in their hearts that brought this about. It is a learning lesson for us all that we must be very cautious and careful to not allow our hearts to be open to wickedness. This wickedness it’s simply the sin we give ourselves to, based on the desires we open our hearts to. Throughout the Word of God, God makes it very clear that we are to be careful about what we open our hearts to. The Bible says in Jeremiah 17:9 The heart is deceitful above all things, And desperately wicked; Who can know it? The truth is, God knows the human heart. Therefore He has sent forth His Word to clarify what is in fact right and wrong in His sight. It is up to us to make a conscious decision on who and what we will obey and follow. Will we follow the deceit in our own heart, the world, and our flesh? Or will we follow the principles found in the Word of God? The beauty of God’s love, grace, and mercy, is that if we simply cry out to Him in repentance, He will forgive us, and restore us back to Himself. In addition to that, if He chooses, He can also reverse the loss that we experienced when we were disobedient. Psalm 107:35-38 He turned the desert into pools of water and the parched ground into flowing springs; 36 there he brought the hungry to live, and they founded a city where they could settle. 37 They sowed fields and planted vineyards that yielded a fruitful harvest; 38 he blessed them, and their numbers greatly increased, and he did not let their herds diminish. If God will restore and bless us when we cry out and repent, how much more confident can we be if we simply walk in obedience? So whether in loss or in blessings, God is always at work for our best interest, therefore HE is always worthy of thanksgiving and praise! Psalm 107:1 Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; his love endures forever. AMEN!

“God gives and God takes away” out of Psalm 107:1 &amp; 33-38

This life on earth is filled with challenges, and for most of us this year especially. 2020 has been a year that has clearly demonstrated how fragile this world is. Every single human life on earth, in some way or another has been impacted by the instability of the political, financial, social, and physical health of this world. It truly is remarkable how quick this world can be turned upside-down. It is in these times we must elevate our focus and draw closer to Lord. Drawing closer to God is difficult to do when our hearts are focused on the calamities of this world. It is in these times we should be reminded that God and His Kingdom is the only everlasting stability in existence. It is in His Kingdom we are sustained, encouraged, comforted, strengthened, and blessed. However, it is difficult to see God’s sustaining grace in our lives when we busy ourselves with the internal focus of our woes. When the dilemmas of life become our focus, it usually leads to an ungrateful heart. In moments like these is when we lose sight (spiritually), then our ungratefulness turns to foolish thinking, which eventually turns to rebellion. In fact, when you consider the condition of the world as a whole, it’s clear that the foolishness of humanity has brought about the calamity we are now facing. However, we should not be focused on this life, we must focus on the life to come. Those who focus on the life to come, which is everlasting, are those who recognize what true stability is along with what is necessary to remain on this true foundation. We must stand on HIS Word! Psalm 107:17-22 Some became fools through their rebellious ways and suffered affliction because of their iniquities. 18 They loathed all food and drew near the gates of death. 19 Then they cried to the LORD in their trouble, and he saved them from their distress. 20 He sent out his word and healed them; he rescued them from the grave. 21 Let them give thanks to the LORD for his unfailing love and his wonderful deeds for mankind. 22 Let them sacrifice thank offerings and tell of his works with songs of joy. Verse 19 makes it clear what we are to do to receive God’s promise “Then they cried to the LORD in their trouble, and he saved them from their distress.” All we need to do is “Cry out to the Lord”. His promise is clear in verse 20 “He sent out his word and healed them; he rescued them from the grave.” In God’s love, He will rescue us time and time again, all we need to do is cry out, and He will rescue us. Praise God! Knowing this to be His heart, whether in a dilemma or after being rescued, we must always have a heart of thankfulness because His promises are indeed “YES” and “AMEN”! Psalm 107:21-22 Let them give thanks to the LORD for his unfailing love and his wonderful deeds for mankind. Let them sacrifice thank offerings and tell of his works with songs of joy. AMEN!

“He Sent out His Word” out of Psalm 107:1 & 17-22

In this life we will have experiences of greatest distress. Though calamity at times happens to good people, it is usually caused by bad decisions, these experiences of distress are usually caused by moments of rebellion in our lives. At times people have the tendency to make bad decisions despite how good God has been. In these moments of making wrong choices is when the Lord imposes consequences on us. Proverbs 3:11-12 My son, do not despise the LORD's discipline, and do not despise his rebuke, because the LORD disciplines those he loves, as a father the son he delights in. When the Lord's disciple happens is usually when we turn to God and cry out to the Lord. However, even in those moments people remain prideful and continue to reject His discipline as the situation gets worse. In God’s sovereign wisdom, He disciplines us to humble us to repentance. God loves us too much to just let us fall away. This is why He doesn’t allow us to do whatever we want. What would happen to us if the Lord never disciplined us and allowed us to do whatever we felt like it? We would simply be lost for eternity. It is in those moments we should cry out to the Lord! In fact we should always cry out to the Lord. We should never wait for things to get worse before we cry out to the Lord. In God’s unfailing love, He will always rescue us. God is always ready to release His liberating power is we simply out to Him! In crying out to the Lord, giving thanks to Him is and will always be a key component to God’s Kingdom! Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; his love endures forever. Some sat in darkness, in utter darkness, prisoners suffering in iron chains, because they rebelled against God’s commands and despised the plans of the Most High. So he subjected them to bitter labor; they stumbled, and there was no one to help. Then they cried to the LORD in their trouble, and he saved them from their distress. He brought them out of darkness, the utter darkness, and broke away their chains. Let them give thanks to the LORD for his unfailing love and his wonderful deeds for mankind, for he breaks down gates of bronze and cuts through bars of iron. AMEN!

“Saved from Distress” out of Psalm 107:1 & 10-16

With the current condition of the social, political, health, financial, and physical climate of our nation and the rest of the world, it is difficult at times for some of us to stay positive and focused on godly principles. This is why we are starting a new series called “Attitude of Gratitude”. In this series we will examine the necessity of having a heart of thanksgiving in the midst of a dark and dying world. In fact, it is in a dark and dying world when the Lord needs us most to carry out His plan for those who are lost. However, we cannot win the lost for Christ if we ourselves are also lost in our own pity party in camp complaining. God has anointed and ordained you and I to be His servants in this world, during time of calamity in these last days. But while being in this world during difficult times, we as humans have the tendency to look at our circumstances when facing calamity as dire, and it’s perfectly understandable. However sometimes when we face these calamities in life, it is in those moments when God is calling us to cry out to Him so that He can do what only He can do for our lives and for the lives of all those around us. When in hectic circumstances, we must cry out to the Lord having our eyes fixed on Him so that He can equipped and anointed us to carry out His work and His plan in this world! It is when we wander from the Lord that difficult times seem unbearable. We must be careful not to wander from the Lord as some tend to do, because when we wander from the Lord our hearts will never be prepared to face times of trouble. However, when we are connected to the Lord and filled with the Holy Spirit, God will sustain us during times of trouble no matter what. In addition, God will also equip and anointed us with everything we need to be a blessing to those around us. If at any given moment we are facing trouble in our lives, all we simply need to do is cry out to the Lord, He will hear us, help us, and sustain us. Psalm 107:1-9 Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; his love endures forever. 2 Let the redeemed of the LORD tell their story— those he redeemed from the hand of the foe, 3 those he gathered from the lands, from east and west, from north and south. 4 Some wandered in desert wastelands, finding no way to a city where they could settle. 5 They were hungry and thirsty, and their lives ebbed away. 6 Then they cried out to the LORD in their trouble, and he delivered them from their distress. 7 He led them by a straight way to a city where they could settle. 8 Let them give thanks to the LORD for his unfailing love and his wonderful deeds for mankind, 9 for he satisfies the thirsty and fills the hungry with good things. AMEN!

“Crying Out to the Lord” out of Psalm 107:1-9

Is it possible that this generation could see the second coming of Jesus Christ? From the looks of things, it seems to be an astute assumption. When considering being rapture ready, we should know that becoming an heir is the culmination of this great and glorious promise. Titus 3:4-7 But when the kindness and love of God our Savior appeared, he saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit, whom he poured out on us generously through Jesus Christ our Savior, so that, having been justified by his grace, we might become heirs having the hope of eternal life. For those of us who claim this promise, we have a responsibility. That responsibility is repentance. Repentance from our old wicked ways, and repentance towards the new and living way. Titus 2:1-3 Remind the people to be subject to rulers and authorities, to be obedient, to be ready to do whatever is good, to slander no one, to be peaceable and considerate, and always to be gentle toward everyone. At one time we too were foolish, disobedient, deceived and enslaved by all kinds of passions and pleasures. We lived in malice and envy, being hated and hating one another. Therefore if we, who know the truth refuse to repent, we walk into the danger of forfeiting our inheritance. 2 Peter 2:20-22 If they have escaped the corruption of the world by knowing our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and are again entangled in it and are overcome, they are worse off at the end than they were at the beginning. It would have been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than to have known it and then to turn their backs on the sacred command that was passed on to them. Of them the proverbs are true: “A dog returns to its vomit,” and, “A sow that is washed returns to her wallowing in the mud.” Hebrews 10:26-29 If we deliberately keep on sinning after we have received the knowledge of the truth, no sacrifice for sins is left, but only a fearful expectation of judgment and of raging fire that will consume the enemies of God. Anyone who rejected the law of Moses died without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses. How much more severely do you think someone deserves to be punished who has trampled the Son of God underfoot, who has treated as an unholy thing the blood of the covenant that sanctified them, and who has insulted the Spirit of grace? Repentance, therefore is vital to solidifying our destiny of becoming an heir which is what God created us for. Titus 3:8 This is a trustworthy saying. And I want you to stress these things, so that those who have trusted in God may be careful to devote themselves to doing what is good. These things are excellent and profitable for everyone. That includes you and I. AMEN!

“Rapture Ready: Becoming Heirs” out of Titus 3:1-8

We believe that we who are alive in Christ, who have surrendered our hearts to the Lord, and the Spirit of the living God, who are committed to living a life of prayer and obedience according to God‘s word, are those who are focused on the return of Christ! We are the ones who believe that all who have died in Christ will rise from the dead and those of us who live in Christ, who are still alive on earth will be Raptured (Caught Up). We will be reunited with all those who have been resurrected from the dead, to meet the Lord in air! We believe this day will happen soon. We believe it, not only because the word of God tells us it will happen, but also because of the condition of the world today in the signs given to us by Christ in Luke chapter 21, Mark chapter 13, and Matthew chapter 24. In these chapters along with other bible passages, Jesus clearly gives the warning signs of things that will happen on earth prior to His return! God’s love, grace, and mercy is to redeem even the most lost person on earth. It is our responsibility to repent in every way to ensure that we are “Rapture Ready“! Much of our repentance is accomplished through two commands given by Christ found in Mark 12:30-31 which is to love God and to love people! This is why our Bible passage leads in with this topic. 
 
1 Thessalonians 4:9-12 Now about your love for one another we do not need to write to you, for you yourselves have been taught by God to love each other. 10 And in fact, you do love all of God’s family throughout Macedonia. Yet we urge you, brothers and sisters, to do so more and more, 11 and to make it your ambition to lead a quiet life: You should mind your own business and work with your hands, just as we told you, 12 so that your daily life may win the respect of outsiders and so that you will not be dependent on anybody. 
 
Through our love for others, we are to win the lost for Christ! 1 Peter 4:8 says above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins. 
 
There is so much in the human heart that can easily lead us astray. Jeremiah 17:9 The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it? This is why we must lay down every distraction that purposes to knock us off track from God’s destiny for us. If we remain focused on God’s Plan (destiny) for us, a great and precious reward is waiting for us at the culmination of all things. One of the most anticipated blessings we believe will happen soon is “THE RETURN OF CHRIST OUR LORD, SAVIOR, AND KING”! 
 
1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 Brothers and sisters, we do not want you to be uninformed about those who sleep in death, so that you do not grieve like the rest of mankind, who have no hope. 14 For we believe that Jesus died and rose again, and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in him. 15 According to the Lord’s word, we tell you that we who are still alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord, will certainly not precede those who have fallen asleep. 16 For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. 17 After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever. 18 Therefore encourage one another with these words. 
 
Are you ready! It is time to ready ourselves for the “Coming of Christ our King”! The signs are all over the earth! Luke 21:28 When these things begin to take place, stand up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is drawing near." AMEN!

We believe that we who are alive in Christ, who have surrendered our hearts to the Lord, and the Spirit of the living God, who are committed to living a life of prayer and obedience according to God‘s word, are those who are focused on the return of Christ! We are the ones who believe that all who have died in Christ will rise from the dead and those of us who live in Christ, who are still alive on earth will be Raptured (Caught Up). We will be reunited with all those who have been resurrected from the dead, to meet the Lord in air! We believe this day will happen soon. We believe it, not only because the word of God tells us it will happen, but also because of the condition of the world today in the signs given to us by Christ in Luke chapter 21, Mark chapter 13, and Matthew chapter 24.

“Rapture Ready: We Believe” out of 1 Thessalonians 4:9-18

Jesus said “When these things begin to take place, stand up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is drawing near.” He told them this parable: “Look at the fig tree and all the trees. When they sprout leaves, you can see for yourselves and know that summer is near. Even so, when you see these things happening, you know that the kingdom of God is near. “Truly I tell you, this generation will certainly not pass away until all these things have happened. Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away. “Be careful, or your hearts will be weighed down with carousing, drunkenness and the anxieties of life, and that day will close on you suddenly like a trap. For it will come on all those who live on the face of the whole earth. Be always on the watch, and pray that you may be able to escape all that is about to happen, and that you may be able to stand before the Son of Man.” Christians in this age do not seem to think about the “End Times” or the “Rapture” until now! It’s safe to say that it’s time to start taking the “End Times” seriously so that we all are “Rapture Ready”! In this study we will take a look at what the word of God says concerning the “Last Days”. In “The End Times” we will hear of wars and uprisings, Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be great earthquakes, famines and pestilences in various places, and fearful events and great signs from heaven. All these are the beginning of birth pains. With this current outbreak of COVID-19 we can see these happening now and can see these things escalate. If COVID-19 is not brought under control and further severe outbreaks ensue, how do you see things playing out? Do you think it’s possible that a pestilence like COVID-19 can possibly lead to famines, and global wars? When things begin to unravel on the earth, are we to live in fear? If not, what are we supposed to do? We must “standing up” and “lifting our heads” because our salvation is at the door! Our push as a ministry is to make sure we have an intimate relationship with God so that each of us is “Rapture Ready”! Jesus said in Luke 21:31 Even so, when you see these things happening, you know that the kingdom of God is near.” As these last days unfold, we should be extremely careful or our hearts will be weighed down and that day could close on us suddenly like a trap. Regardless of what happens, we can be the generation who has given themselves to Christ, ready for our eternal destiny with God! It is time! AMEN!
