Every divinely inspired insight and truth from God made known to me that I recorded down was just another step leading me into the glorious future He has for me, and with each letter typed and word recorded down, closer I came to the point of a new year. God is faithful. Below are all those quotes recorded down for the year of 2015 and they are indeed epic! Thank you Lord! I pray, you will read through all of them, be lead to pray to God because of many of them and will come to know Him more and my joy that is Jesus Christ the Lord. YOU ARE LOVED. With that, I now invite you Into My HEART that pens down faithfully and accurately all that the Almighty speaks to me.
376. “Anyone who genuinely and sincerely studies the Bible is actually seeking out the Word of God Himself.” 5/25/15
377.
“I am not a great writer nor do I write greatly. However, I am divinely
inspired to write down great words.” 5/26/15 (The Lord revealed this to
me some days ago, whether a week or so ago I do not recall).
378.
“There are many excellent things that preachers can teach us and there
are many preachers out there with varying characteristics and
personalities. You have the smiling preacher, the charismatic preacher,
the fashion forward and trend setting preacher. They have something to
say and many hear them, yet there is one thing that is needed and
surpasses it all—that we would hold the blessed name of Jesus, the Son
of God, and what is entitled to Him being Lord in high esteem, regard
and reverence. Only then, will we no longer be entertained with the
words of men, but we will be saved; removed out of darkness and brought
into God’s marvelous light. We would no longer be dead in our trespasses
but, halleluyah, alive in Christ. Amen.” 5/27/15
379.
“LIKE A PICKY EATER MANY OF US PICK OUT WHAT WE DON’T LIKE ABOUT
CHRISTIANITY FIRST, THEN SEE TO IT TO CONSUME THE REST, LITTLE THAT
REMAINS. HOWEVER, A MORE AGREEABLE APPROACH TO IT, THAT IS, TO YOUR VERY
SOUL AND HEART, AND A MORE PROFITABLE WAY OF APPROACHING CHRISTIANITY
AND MOREOVER CHRIST, THAT IS, SPEAKING OF YOUR ETERNAL STATE, WOULD BE
TO UNDERSTAND WHAT IS SET BEFORE YOU AND ALL ITS BENEFITS AND IN DOING
SO, DETERMINE TO CONSUME THE WHOLE DISH, AND IF EVER THERE IS SOME
PORTION OF THE DISH YOU DO NOT LIKE, LET A TASTE FOR IT BE CULTIVATED
OVER TIME.” 5/28/15 (inspired by C.S. Lewis’ “Mere Christianity”
location 1174–1184 kindle edition)
380. “How amazing it is what God does for the one who in struggle and distress turns their attention towards others, disregarding their present state so that they may lift them up, encouraging them and blessing them—He the Lord God of heaven and earth does that very thing for them!” 5/31/15 Sunday praise and worship of God at its finest. PRAISE THE LORD
381. “Our final
destination and our eternal designation can be known and summed up by
our choices— towards the Lord or away from Him. Towards His image or
quite like the other one. To be a heavenly creature or a devilish one.
The choice truly is ours to make and make freely.” 5/31/15 (inspired by
C.S. Lewis’ “Mere Christianity” location 1240 kindle edition)
THE 2 PROGRESSIONS
382.
“THERE IS AN UPWARD PROGRESSION OF REVELATION WHEN WE COME TO KNOW THE
GOOD GOD IN CORRELATION TO OUR OWN LIVES AND OUR NEWFOUND RELATIONSHIP
IN CHRIST AS IT PROGRESSES FROM THAT OF A SYCOPHANT AND NOVICE TO A MORE
SEASONED BELIEVER AS IT WERE. YET THERE IS ALSO ANOTHER PROGRESSION BUT
THIS DOES NOT LEAD UPWARD YET DOWNWARD. IT DOES NOT BRING REVELATION OF
THE SINNER’S SIN AGAINST GOD, BUT CAUSES THE SINFUL STATE TO PERSEVERE
IN ITS SIN NEVER TO KNOW THE GOOD GOD WHO ALONE IS WISE IN THE NATURE OF
GOOD AND EVIL. THESE TWO PROGRESSIONS ARE CONSTANTLY AT WAR IN THE
HEAVENLY PLACES. ONE SHALL CAUSE A MAN TO KNOW HELL PERSONALLY AND THE
LAKE OF FIRE INTIMATELY AND THE OTHER, HAS IN IT, A RICH ENVIRONMENT
VOID OF DEATH, SORROW, PAIN, SUFFERING, WHERE THERE SHALL BE NO MORE
TEARS FOR GOD HIMSELF HAS WIPED THEM AWAY. YES, THESE TWO PROGRESSIONS
ARE INEVITABLE YET THEY ARE AVOIDABLE THROUGH THE POWER OF CHOICE! WHAT
SHALL WE AVOID THEN. HEAVEN OR HELL?” 5/31/15 (inspired by C.S. Lewis’
“Mere Christianity” location 1250–1254)
383.
“A man ought to thank God more and file complaints against Him less.
For in all things God; Yes, the Lord God is faithful, yet who among us
will be daring to seek this out to know so?” 5/31/15
384.
“Concerning tragedies of a certain sort. Whether it be the will of God,
whether known or unknown, whether seen or unseen. I thank God that in
many situations and in many ways, no lives are lost, even if we would
classify them as the evil kind.” 5/31/15 (Last quote of the month)
385.
“Anything to do with God, has to do with His holiness, His Word, His
grace, His vision, His provision and protection. The believer in Christ
need not think himself or herself a fraud nor having not heard from God
if the latter, being provision seems to be lacking. For it only shows
us, that we are still immature in His ways and timing and need more
growing to do. Be at peace and of good cheer. He is still faithful.”
6/1/15 (It may be His vision for your life in the season you find
yourself in, but it may not be the timing He had for you).
386. “Our mishaps still result in God’s faithfulness—this is Jesus!” 6/1/15
387.
“All of us are a telltale sign. When we boast and revile in our sin
loud for all to see, we condemn ourselves and further show ourselves to
be a people condemned as we do not conduct ourselves according to His
divine nature, but when we confess our sins, we show ourselves to be
forgiven and now walking in God’s righteousness. And the more we walk in
His righteousness the more we conduct ourselves according to His good
nature, and in such living, there is no law that condemns us.” 6/1/15
(Galatians 5:16-24 inspires! Along with words I witnessed coming out of a
mans mouth with a supreme boasting about the very thing he exposed
about himself that ought to have remained with him alone).
388.
“The only regret we take into eternity is not be reconciled with God
who abides in eternity. And equal to this regret is not doing good to
others and doing good to others who God brought into our lives to bless
us.” 6/3/15
389. “I’m not
speaking on hard work but on God’s grace, for His grace surpasses the
hard work of men. Don’t try to convince or psych yourself out of what
God has said He would do or is going to do. If He said He would do it
believe He will do it without a measuring rod on your end but in His
good timing on His end.” (restoration mentality) 6/3/15 (inspired by
Joel Osteen)
390. “None of us
know our great strength until it is applied. We hear about sin,
temptation, Satan and Jesus, yet we never fully put ourselves in the
mix. To know Jesus full on is to walk in his shoes and alongside Him. To
know Satan for all he is and stands for is to stand firm in Christ,
when confronted by him. Knowing the full strength of temptation and the
full strength of resisting it— this is Jesus! When we finally decide to
abide in this truth, the childishness of what we ‘think’ God is all
about and all that is associated with spiritual matters will be gone
once and for all and finally we can begin to take our first steps into
adulthood knowing adult matters and being taught them by God Himself.”
6/8/15 (inspired by C.S. Lewis’ “Mere Christianity” and my personal
experiences with all of the above). CHRIST (The only complete realist)
391.
“More often than not God prospers us not in finances, a home, a
vehicle, with good health or a companion to be married to and do life
with, but with joy so that we will not walk around in a defeated
mindset. And that to me, is often more than enough.” 6/9/15 (inspired by
my real life situations, circumstances, interactions with the Lord God
and a most wonderful conversation with my brother James Oyola). Thank
you Jesus.
392. “Men, let us not
take our women away from God’s divine calling to be our helpers in the
things of God to our caretakers due to the frailties of our mistakes.
For in it, we shame ourselves concerning the things of God and in the
process cause our women to lose their identities.” 6/9/15
393.
“What I love most about the Bible and more specifically the epistles
[personal letters of correspondence] to the Church, is that it shows men
who were personally and intimately invested into the lives of others.
Therefore, those of us who have invested ourselves into the lives of
others so that they may know Jesus as Lord and be further equipped to
uphold the ministry the Lord would bestow upon them as well for a time
are those who are most blessed! Let us continue to carry on the
tradition of epistle work, for in it a people become a church, become a
missionary movement, become the embodiment of ‘light to the world and
the salt of the earth.’ Amen.” 6/10/15
Concerning Marriage: (The Rekindling Affect)
394.
“I think of sexual passion and how it is like an all consuming fire at
first strike and yet along the way the fire dies down and is no more.
How does a married couple get back what was lost? They give themselves
over to the passion of the One who enacted sex. For the husband who
looks upon his wife and sees her obedience to Christ says to his Lord,
“look at the woman you gave me my Lord. She serves you with the utmost!”
And behold, he finds himself much to his delight more in love and taken
with her than ever before. Now the wife looks upon her husband’s
diligence in serving the Lord and his obedience to His God and she says,
“Oh Lord my wonderful God, what a fine man you have made. How dedicated
he is to your service!” And again, behold! The wife is feverishly in
love and taken with her husband and what was once lost, halleluyah, is
now found.” 6/10/15
395. “Hearsay is like deafness to the hearing, blindness to those with sight, feebleness to those with a sharp mind, lameness to those who can walk and weakness to those with strong hearts—it strips whatever God has given you till there is nothing left.” 6/10/15
396.
“An enemy doesn’t force you out but draws you out. What is it that
entices you? This is the very weapon formed against you your enemy will
use. Be mindful of your emotions as they can betray you right into your
enemy’s snare.” 6/11/15 (Satan: Know Thy Enemy)
Beloved,
enticement is a tricky word as it is almost always taken in the form of
flattery or some sort of physical or sexual temptation or attraction.
But this is a partial view of enticement. We can also be enticed in a
more underlining demeanor such as seduction through impatience,
frustration and aggravation towards others who we aren’t keen on being
around. If they know this and use this, they may insight an enticement
out of you in order to put you in a position that can harm or ruin you.
An
easy and straight forward example of this, is an employee to his or her
employer. If said employee has a personal issue with said employer
concerning their professional manner and approach or lack thereof,
already the employee’s emotions are fighting against them and anything
the employer may do or respond with can insight the enticement to speak
out of line, raise your voice, blatantly disrespect your superior, your
willingness to sabotage your work ethic causing it to diminish and this
can lead to insubordination, write ups and ultimately termination or
quitting your job.
Our emotions
whether it be what we would consider a good thing or a bad thing can
influence the outcome of any event. I know the downfall of my emotions
getting the better of me and I know the victory of not allowing my
emotions to rule me but I rule them.
May
God grant us the wisdom to know the difference and give us the strength
to respond in the appropriate manner where we do not disrespect our
superiors despite how we view them and to allow cool heads to prevail.
Amen.
397. “I don’t want to be
known as a pastor. I don’t want to be known as a preacher or an apostle
or any of these titles that are frivolous and amount to nothing unless
you are a winner of souls. For there is One name in heaven, that be
Jesus, given on earth that a man is saved by and there are many who
abide in this Name, that are His servants and obedient servants at that.
If He be the Savior of souls and we in Him be winners of souls for Him,
then what more profitable thing to be and known to be than a Soul
Winner?” 6/11/15 (The Great Concern and Achievement)
Soul Winner
398. “If souls aren’t being saved. Than everything else is meaningless.” 6/11/15
399.
“Oh the joys of obeying the Lord! That He would count me worthy to
suffer as He has suffered. Lord Jesus, I am Thy servant do as you will.
For a moment with you is compared to having eternity.” 6/13/15
