2:2 If you will not listen, if you will not lay it to heart to give glory to my name, says the LORD of hosts, then I will send the curse upon you and I will curse your blessings; indeed I have already cursed them, because you do not lay it to heart.
1-3 "And now this indictment, you priests! If you refuse to obediently listen, and if you refuse to honor me, God-of-the-Angel-Armies, in worship, then I'll put you under a curse. I'll exchange all your blessings for curses. In fact, the curses are already at work because you're not serious about honoring me. Yes, and the curse will extend to your children. I'm going to plaster your faces with rotting garbage, garbage thrown out from your feasts. That's what you have to look forward to!
What does a heart do that Honors God? How was your heart today? Where was your heart today? Did you come across any needs? Did you take time from your busy day to listen to people who were poor in hope, love, spirit?
How many times did your heart manifest God's glory? There are many a blessings for people who take big risks of looking dumb (Elisha), Being wrong (Moses) facing persecutions (Paul)... But I will tell you one thing the blessings way outweigh the risk. On Earth and Heaven.
That's why I love our name Valley Bible Fellowship SOUL FACTORY! Jesus started the family business with 12 employees. Now we have all been recruited and business should be boomin'
When we get to Heaven we will be compensated. How much do you think you will be compensated for your work?
Matthew 19:21 (New International Version)
21Jesus answered, "If you want to be perfect, go, sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me."
Matthew 19:21 (The Message)
21"If you want to give it all you've got," Jesus replied, "go sell your possessions; give everything to the poor. All your wealth will then be in heaven. Then come follow me."
1 Corinthians 13:2-4 (The Message)
2If I speak God's Word with power, revealing all his mysteries and making everything plain as day, and if I have faith that says to a mountain, "Jump," and it jumps, but I don't love, I'm nothing. 3-7If I give everything I own to the poor and even go to the stake to be burned as a martyr, but I don't love, I've gotten nowhere. So, no matter what I say, what I believe, and what I do, I'm bankrupt without love.
Love never gives up. Love cares more for others than for self. Love doesn't want what it doesn't have. Love doesn't strut, Doesn't have a swelled head, Doesn't force itself on others, Isn't always "me first," Doesn't fly off the handle, Doesn't keep score of the sins of others, Doesn't revel when others grovel, Takes pleasure in the flowering of truth, Puts up with anything, Trusts God always, Always looks for the best, Never looks back, But keeps going to the end.
Change the questions. Who have you loved today? Where have you left the sent of Love?
Last year around Christmas time I was in a similar situation that I am in now. Prayer is what got me out of it and supported me from not falling apart. I shared with you all how my husband had a girlfriend and was doing drugs and I got him to leave. God conforted me while I mourned. God showed me all the prommises He has for me and lifted me up everytime I came to Him.
I had a Job and a Car soon after that because God moved on making the connections that I needed in order to answer my prayers tangibly.
I don't know about you but I think that it is easier for people who are seeking first the kingdom for your prayers to be answered.
Not that you have to work for it at all but, When you are making connections by seeking God first:
1. Your going to meet people 2. Your going to love people and people will love you 3. Your going to answer their prayers 4. Your going to mature 5. Your going to learn how to be responsible 6. Your going to learn how to be committed 7. Your going to have a humbleness & boldness about you 8. You are more able to counsel - because of your experience 9. Your submission level will be high 10. You practice commitment a lot
When God puts the idea in someones head to bless you they are going to be least likely to say no or dismiss the thought if they know you to be all of the above things. (when I got my prayers answered the people said that I needed those things to accomplish the things that God is trusting me to do I NEEDED them! and was already being faithful even without and they knew I would put the blessings to good use) They (the people answering) know that it is going to benefit God's kingdom that you are blessed then they will give to your request and with a cheerful heart.
Now God is God and if He says to give to someone/anyone we should do it no matter what...
But how many of those prayers are answered above and beyond what was asked for and by the best of the best!
How many people do you have in your church family that you would answer the call for?
I know that every person in my small group I would give anything I could for and if I didn't have it I would be on the hunt for it keeping my eyes and ears peeled! with prayer and talking about it to others that maybe have it to give/get rid....
What I have found to be true is that ANYTHING is possible for God's kingdom/will! And the way he does that is, most of the time (not all the time) is with the connections you have cultivated in seeking His will (AKA Serving/Seeking Him/Fellowshipping with Him where He would be if He were here, Parties, the streets, church?) and the connections that your connections have.
Have you seen that movie with Jennifer Lopez Maid in Manhattan. In the movie the maid falls for a candidate for senator while she was trying on some expensive clothes in a room she was cleaning. The senator comes through the door and invites her on a mini date and she goes posing as the person stying in the room and not the maid she really was.... He asks her out to this fine benefit dinner and she declined to go but her friend accepts if for her. She didnt want to go because she doesn't have anything to wear.....
Her other maid friends say. "Don't worry about it Honey, its not about what you've got its about who you know and what they've got!" The connections that she had made were hair stylist, jewelers, dress shop, all these things were handed over to her for her use while she went and broke up with the guy and lived the dream for them all maids.
You don't wanna know what happened after that BUT!
Matthew 6:
32For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. 33But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. 34Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.
The point is... is that the seeking first God's kingdom is going to expand your world! It's going to test you more, Your love for God is going to be more evident! Your going to gain fresh new experiences of your own! AND!!!!!! Not to mention the wonderful blessings that you get stored in Heaven.
So how are you seeking first the Kingdom in your offline time? Where is God calling you to go everyday! Do you wake up and spend time with Him to get your to do list from Him? What does He have you do and are you doing it with all you heart and laying down your own issues and leaving them for God He knows what they are before you ask Asking not what God can do for you but what You can do for God. I know if I had a friend that only came to me when they needed something and just gave me a list and took off I wouldn't think too highly of that friendship I wouldn't invest/entrust very much in that one. But someone who comes to me and asks me what they can do to make me happy, help me accomplish my dreams, goals or work? That is a friendship I am going to invest in......... These are just the thoughts that have been in my head for a while now and I wanted to see if I could get them out in an organized fashion. I hope you see my heart and not that I am condemning anyone.....
If you are a new Christian your job is only to fall in love with God. But the rest of us who have been in this for a while are different we have a job to do.
The dreams that God has given you are not impossible. Resurrect them they are possible when you seek God's kingdom first all these things are added to you and you will become what you were supposed to become. Prayer accomplishes much when it is for the kingdom sake.... So when we pray we should pray in a way that seeks the benefit of others and reason with God. Dialogue with Him about the reasons of the petition. When I worked at Probation anytime I asked for anything from the office max catalogue I had to give a reason on my form.
Let's Argue This Out
Isaiah 1:18 (The Message) 18-20"Come. Sit down. Let's argue this out." This is God's Message: "If your sins are blood-red, they'll be snow-white. If they're red like crimson, they'll be like wool. If you'll willingly obey, you'll feast like kings. But if you're willful and stubborn, you'll die like dogs." That's right. God says so.
We should also not be so quick to get rid of trials. I have decided to use the spirit inside of me to discern if a trial is going to benefit me-embrace it- or from the enemy to -rebuke it-. I love that Pastor Ron My pastor is talking about this now.
A lot of the time it is my fault why I got into the mess in the first place. I am not going to blame the enemy for my poor choices and use every trial as a learning experience and accept responsibility and seek God for guidance and wisdom in everything. God will Romans 8:28 everything anyway!
12Rejoice and exult in hope; be steadfast and patient in suffering and tribulation; be constant in prayer.
Romans 12:12 AMP
I have shared this video a lot but It bears repeating..
A friend sent this to me. It's been said that God first separated the salt water from the fresh, made dry land, planted a garden, made animals and fish... all before making a human. He made and provided what we'd need before we were born. These are best & more powerful when eaten raw. We're such slow learners...
God left us a great clue as to what foods help what part of our body!
God's Pharmacy! Amazing!
Watch the movie or read below!
Improved eye sight
A sliced Carrot looks like the human eye. The pupil, iris and radiating lines look just Like the human eye; and YES science now shows that carrots greatly enhance blood flow to and function of the eyes. - The beta-carotene that gives carrots their vibrant color also acts as a potent antioxidant, preventing cell damage, slowing aging, boosting immunity, and fostering healthy eyesight.
Heart health
A Tomato has four chambers and is red. The heart is red and has four Chambers. All of the research shows tomatoes are indeed pure heart and blood food. _ Lycopene has been shown to help protect not only against prostate, but breast, pancreatic and intestinal cancers, especially when consumed with fat-rich foods, such as avocado, olive oil or nuts.
vitalized heart and blood
Grapes hang in a cluster that has the shape of the heart. Each grape looks like a blood cell and all of the Research today shows that grapes are also profound heart and blood vitalizing food. _
good news. You don't have to be a wine enthusiast in order to benefit from grapes. The heart-healthy benefits derived from "grapes" are available in 5 forms. From the grape itself (grape skin, flesh, seeds) and from grape beverages (wine, juice).
Improved Brain Function
A Walnut looks like a little brain, a left and right hemisphere, upper Cerebrums and lower cerebellums. Even the wrinkles or folds are on the nut just like the neo-cortex.We now know that walnuts help develop over 3 dozen ne uro-transmitters For brain function. _
Walnuts have often been thought of as a "brain food," not only because of the wrinkled brain-like appearance of their shells, but because of their high concentration of omega-3 fats. Your brain is more than 60% structural fat. For your brain cells to function properly, this structural fat needs to be primarily the omega-3 fats found in walnuts, flaxseed and cold-water fish.
Kidney function
Kidney Beans actually heal and help maintain kidney function and yes, they look exactly like the Human kidneys. - Kidney beans are a very good source of cholesterol-lowering fiber, as are most other beans. In addition to lowering cholesterol, kidney beans' high fiber content prevents blood sugar levels from rising too rapidly after a meal, making these beans an especially good choice for individuals with diabetes, insulin resistance or hypoglycemia. When combined with whole grains such as rice, kidney beans provide virtually fat-free high quality protein. But this is far from all kidney beans have to offer.
Stronger Bones
Celery, Bok Choy, Rhubarb and more look just like bones. These foods specifically target bone strength. Bones are 23% sodium and these foods are 23% sodium. If you don't have enough Sodium in your diet the body pulls it from the bones, making them weak. These foods replenish the skeletal needs of the body. - Celery contains vitamin C and several other active compounds that promote health, including phalides, which may help lower cholesterol, and coumarins, that may be useful in cancer prevention.
Healthy Womb and Cervix
Eggplant, Avocados and Pears target the healt h and function of The womb and cervix of the female - they look just like these organs. Today's research shows that when a woman eats 1 avocado a week, it balances hormones, sheds unwanted birth Weight and prevents cervical cancers. And how profound is this? . it takes exactly 9 months to Grow an avocado from blossom to ripened fruit. There are over 14,000 phytolytic chemical Constituents of nutrition in each one of these foods (modern science has only studied and named about 141 of them). - Avocados contain oleic acid, a monounsaturated fat that may help to lower cholesterol. In one study of people with moderately high cholesterol levels, individuals who ate a diet high in avocados showed clear health improvements. After seven days on the diet that included avocados, they had significant decreases in total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol, along with an 11% increase in health promoting HDL cholesterol.
male sterility
Figs are full of seeds and hang in twos when they grow. Figs increase the motility of male sperm and increase the numbers of sperm as well to overcome male sterility. - Figs are a good source of dietary fiber. Fiber and fiber-rich foods may have a positive effect on weight management. In one study, women who increased their fiber intake with supplements significantly decreased their energy intake, yet their hunger and satiety scores did not change. Figs, like other high fiber foods, may be helpful in a weight management program.
pancreas health
Sweet Potatoes look like the pancreas and actually balance the glycemic index of diabetics. - the recent classification of sweet potato as an "antidiabetic" food. Sweet potato has been given this label because of some recent animal studies in which sweet potato helped stabilize blood sugar levels and lowered insulin resistance. (Insulin resistance is a problem caused when cells don't respond to the hormone insulin, which is supposed to act as a key and unlock the cell in order to allow sugar to pass from the blood into the cell). Some of its blood sugar regulatory properties may come from the fact that sweet potatoes are concentrated in carotenoids.
Breast Health
Grapefruits, Oranges, and other Citrus fruits look just like the mammary glands of the female and actually assist the health of the breasts and the movement of lymph in and out of the breasts. - * Citrus compounds may prevent colon cancer * Orange, tangerine peels contain compounds that may lower cholesterol * Grapefruit promotes weight loss, human study confirms * Grapefruit juice may help reduce the risk of cancer in smokers
Body Cleansing
Onions look like body cells. Today's research shows that onions help clear waste materials from all of the body cells. They even produce tears which wash the epithelial layers of the eyes. - The World Health Organization (WHO) supports the use of onions for the treatment of poor appetite and to prevent atherosclerosis. In addition, onion extracts are recognized by WHO for providing relief in the treatment of coughs and colds, asthma and bronchitis. Onions are known to decrease bronchial spasms. An onion extract was found to decrease allergy-induced bronchial constriction in asthma patients.
Viagra from Nature
Peanuts have a profound effect on males Lets just leave it at that. Peanuts were banned As a food for males by the church often during the middle ages. Most people don't realize that arginine, the main component of Viagra, comes from peanuts. - A University of Florida team says peanuts are rich in antioxidants which protect cells from damage linked to heart disease and cancer.
Peanuts also contain high levels of protein and "good" mono-unsaturated fat.
male enhancement
Bananas, Cucumber, Zucchini and more target the size and Strength of the male organ. It's true! - A study published in the Archives of Internal Medicine also confirms that eating high fiber foods, such as bananas, helps prevent heart disease. Almost 10,000 American adults participated in this study and were followed for 19 years. People eating the most fiber, 21 grams per day, had 12% less coronary heart disease (CHD) and 11% less cardiovascular disease (CVD) compared to those eating the least, 5 grams daily. Those eating the most water-soluble dietary fiber fared even better with a 15% reduction in risk of CHD and a 10% risk reduction in CVD.
In addition to these cardiovascular benefits, the potassium found in bananas may also help to promote bone health. Potassium may counteract the increased urinary calcium loss caused by the high-salt diets typical of most Americans, thus helping to prevent bones from thinning out at a fast rate.
healthy and the ovaries
Olives assist the health and function of the ovaries. _ Even though olives have a high fat content of 15 to 35 percent, they are an excellent source of oleic acid (an omega-9 mono-unsaturated fatty acid). Since olives contain mixed tocopherols, they are also a good source of vitamin E. Olives and their oil contain many unique phenolic and aromatic compounds, including oleuroperin and flavonoids.
Research has shown that it is the type of fat consumed that determines the risk of developing conditions such as diabetes, atherosclerosis, colon cancer, Arthritis, and asthma. Regions such as the Mediterranean area consume large amounts of olive oil and have a lower risk of developing those conditions.
