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.

 

801. “When we come to Christ, we still have that lingering worldliness in us that manifests itself as the sin that separates us from God. But we can be confident in Jesus, for as we remain in Him, He will drive it out of us with an iron rod. For Jesus is, always has been and always will be, the Shepherd of the lost souls of the world.” 12/12/15

802. “Feelings will always get you in trouble. Whereas, truth will never lead you astray.” 12/12/15 (Inspiration: Psalm 23 & Jeremiah 17:9)

803. “It doesn’t profit a man to know everything, but it profits him to be patient in affliction and this is twofold—by the indwelling of the Spirit and the crucifixion of the flesh.” 12/12/15

Inspiration: Galatians 5:17, Romans 7:14-26, Matthew 26:41, John 6:63, Luke 9:23

 

Marriage

804. “A word on marriage. Spouses, keep yourselves attractive for your mate. Whatever he or she came to adore about you, stir it up again and spur yourself on to do it. So that intimacy will continue to thrive and love is not lost.” 12/12/15 

Did you admire their strength and convictions? Was it their generous heart that made you proud of them? Was it their intelligence? Was it their sense of humor or adventurous spirit? Were they focus and a good steward with their finances? Was it their physicality? Was it their moral strength and mature faith in Christ? Whatever it is, if it be honorable and through the commitment in marriage of one man to one woman, I say, stir yourselves up, spur yourselves on, and keep yourselves attractive to your spouse and mate. That it may go well with you and that God bless it. Amen.

As always...YOU ARE LOVED.

805. “Marriage is to be taken seriously. It’s a commitment. By definition, commitment ought to be viewed as a permanent thing. So do not enter into it lightly. So look to the Lord and submit to Him, that He may lead you, guide you, teach you and provide you with everything you’ll need to love each other properly.” 12/13/15

806. “Seeking marriage? Let the male and female, that is the man and woman, first know the marriage within the Father, Son and Holy Spirit—that most holy union. So that the two who are looking forward to it, in that they are looking for it, they will intimately know what it ought to look like and they will personally know what they need to bring into it. Amen.” 12/13/15

807. “It’s not about controlled environments. The Gospel is to be preached at any time, yet not every opportunity is an opportune time. Let the grace of God be presented to the minister, so that the wisdom of God, can be known through the minister—that’s certainly available all the time.” 12/13/15

Money And Tithing

808. “Money. This is a word that causes eyes to pop open with glee! Tithing. This is a word that causes bodies to tense up. However, tithing if we were to view it in its simplest form is quite the extraordinary thing—through trust, God gives a people the ability to be successful with money management or stewardship. Greedy people become generous. Borrowers become lenders. Materialism becomes a thing of the past. Love for money, is what we teach against and not what we live for. In Christ, money, tithing and being generous become synonymous within one word—Joy!” 12/13/15

809. “In thinking of our memories and our ability to remember things over time, I couldn’t help but think a new thing. Could not a memory to which we have, have been given intentionally and purposely by God? Not merely for the sake of remembering things for academic studies, work procedures,  and things to do with friends and family and any other miscellaneous thing. But more so, for the sake of remembering Him, all that He has done, is presently doing and to which He has promised to do. If such a thing be true, as more than ever this seems to be the case, then it begs the question: What are we doing to keep our minds sharp from becoming dull, and furthermore, will we begin to ask God to help us remember all His ways?” 12/14/15

810. “I’m not being sarcastic but merely exaggerative in the beginning to prove my point. You were not born of your mother and thrusted out to the work force. You were first nurtured, fed and looked after as an infant, toddler and child. So it is, in the kingdom of heaven. You are first, in Christ, born from above. Then there is much time with your heavenly Father, who nurtures you, feeds you and looks after you with a tenderness that has no match and is boundless! Once this all too precious and necessary time has ran its course, you either are sent to the field to plant vineyards or into the field to battle. First embrace and allow God to cultivate, your becoming a child of God. Then let your service to Christ begin. Being reborn of the Spirit is a beautiful thing. As a newborn in Christ, let your childhood progress as it should. Don’t rush the process.” 12/14/15 

811. “In the midst of all the uncertainty, chaos, evil and struggle, the fact that a man who was once very much a part of it all and played his part in it all, to now know Christ, and as a result, they are no longer influenced by it negatively nor do they influence others negatively, is summed up in this one word—miraculous! Now I am confident to say, and this is no stretch of the imagination, but from the beginning till the end, it hasn’t been many acts of miracles but one act of a miracle from God that has unfolded in the history of the earth and the entire world we know and continue to relentlessly remain intrigued by.” 12/14/15 

Heart Check

812. “Let us not think for one moment that because we haven’t experienced a financial windfall or even a miraculous healing, that God hasn’t given us ‘something to talk about.’ For God, in and through the sacrifice of His Son Jesus, has given us plenty to talk about both now and forevermore—Salvation and forgiveness in no other name under heaven but Jesus Christ the Lord. Amen!” 12/16/15 

813. “Let us not ask God for a financial windfall and when we don’t receive it say, ‘that’s why I don’t believe in anything.’ God does not bless the greedy with more greed. He blesses the humble, the believing, the faithful, the generous with more of Him—this is true riches.” 12/16/15

814. “When we ask God for lots of money, material things and the such, we do not reveal faith, we reveal the greed in our hearts. Yet, this is certainly profitable. Let us pray to God, ‘not my will, but your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Amen.’” 12/16/15 

815. “You can know if you are seeking God with your whole heart when what took precedence in your life before, takes a back seat to you knowing Him more. When such a thing takes place, it is no longer wondering or worrying. All that there is and all that shall remain is the search and the inevitable happiness of that search. Amen.” 12/17/15 

Your Word my Lord inspires! “I seek you with all my heart; do not let me stray from your commands” (Psalm 119:10 NIV)

816. “Seeking out the Lord with your whole heart results in unprecedented happiness.” 12/17/15

817. “Unending joy is the sure-fire result of seeking out the Lord with your whole heart.” 12/17/15

818. “The unprecedented happiness and the unending joy one experiences who searches for the Lord with their whole heart is not an isolated event. All are able to experience it; all are welcomed to it!” 12/17/15

819. “Unparalleled confidence in God is what one has, who has fully surrendered to Christ.” 12/18/15

The Relatable Gospel  

820. “A savior cannot be anything else than human. For a human being can save another human being. A human being can understand the plight of a human being. Indeed the Messiah had to be born of a woman. However, the Messiah is the Anointed One of God, and this woman to bear the Savior of the world had to be born under the Law. This shows us she was separated from others and believed in the Lord and was submissive to Him who gave the Law. Yet, also, this woman had to also be undefiled for that Seed she was to carry was holy. Therefore, in Christ, who is Savior of all, we can know His birth of circumstances holy and abiding in the Law, is Messiah whom God made known through a virgin woman who would give birth to the Son of God.” 12/18/15 

He Is Always On My Mind. Inspired through hearing Josh Groban’s “O Holy Night”.

Inspiration: (Luke 1:26-38) 

821. “‘God is Spirit’ and those who are ‘born again of the Spirit,’ are born of the Living God. And those who have believed in the only ‘begotten of God,’  Christ the Lord, are given ‘the right to become children of God.’ All who are of Christ and in Christ, are not only born of God but we are heirs of a King. For we are ‘heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ’ forever, for ‘of His kingdom there is no end!’” 12/19/15 

Inspiration: (John 4:24; John 3:3; John 3:8; John 1:18; John 1:12-13; Romans 8:17; Isaiah 9:6-7; Luke 1:30-33). Halleluyah! 

Marriage

822. “Holiness is holiness. Sin is sin. A word on marriage. Let those who are engaged to one another not utilize this transition into marriage as a license to sin. Remain apart. Let sex solely be committed to the marriage bed, so that God may bless you—Keep it a holy union.” 12/19/15

823. “A ‘born-again Christian’ isn’t someone who merely walked up to a stage or an altar and received Jesus ‘as their Lord and Savior.’ There’s more to it. Born again has nothing to do with what one would refer to as the denomination of their belief. Born again has everything to do with God’s grace received through faith. Born again has to do with those who received and believed in Christ as the Son of God. As a result, this ‘believer,’ receives the Spirit of Christ in them, in order to follow Christ, to uphold His example of holiness, to remain in faithfulness to the Father’s will and to uphold and enforce His ministry of the sinner’s reconciliation to God. Yes, born again, is a most holy thing. It is and shall always be the privilege and honor of those who receive God’s Spirit to be counted as children of God.” 12/19/15

824. “Discipling someone in the ways of Christ is a glorious thing. Truly, a most excellent thing. However, with all the avenues being pursued in this day and age and all the distractions the world presents, discipling someone is difficult. Discipling is a full time process. It is equally from the one who disciples and the one who is being discipled. There must be an eagerness to give and to receive from both. There must be intentionality in every step, thought, word and deed, in order for a disciple to be ready to go out and accomplish God’s will. I say it again, discipling someone is extraordinarily glorious and equally a difficult thing.” 12/20/15 

Lord help me in this process in whatever position I may find myself at. Amen.

825. “Same principle of truth applies although you may find yourself in a different landscape.” 12/23/15

826. “Same principle of truth applies even if the landscape is different.” 12/23/15

827. “Understand this. In Christ, nothing is forced upon us. All things to do with God and as a result of God are of free choosing.” 12/23/15

 828. “I’m confident that I will be given by God all wisdom, revelation, knowledge and understanding concerning God, but it matters not, if ‘Jesus be not Lord.’” 12/24/15

Concerning the confusion that plagues men concerning (1 Corinthians 13:1 and 2 Corinthians 12:1-4). If Angels in heaven have a language more “pure” than ours, what does it matter?! All that matters and all that is and all that remains is that Jesus Christ is Lord. For out of the abundance of excellence of ‘Jesus is Lord’ comes all manner of God’s faithfulness, goodness and promises. Amen! Let our gaze perpetually be on Him alone. He is Lord! Amen.

829. “If we sincerely be in Christ, we live for His glory and not our own. For He alone has given His life to redeem us from death and the wrath of God not the other way around. If any man be of Christ, He will redirect others to the Christ. Period!” 12/24/15

830. “It’s not merely quality time that is needed but also quantity time. That is, we all have necessity to have quality time with the Lord often. This sums it up: ‘Lord, I have buried your Word in my heart, so that I might not sin against you.’” 12/24/15 Inspiration: (Psalm 119:11)

831. “Part of being a soul winner is loving souls. Part of loving souls is loving the One who made the soul.” 12/25/15

832. “There is no set time but all the time is appropriate to praise, worship and make melody in your heart unto the Lord!” 12/25/15 Amen

This was inspired out of praise, worship and acknowledgement of the Lord and to the Lord. Halleluyah! 

833. “Life is but a miserable waste, if we will not believe in the Son and faithfully follow Him—For in Him there is life!” 12/25/15

Inspiration: (John 1:4, 12-13; Mark 1:17-18; John 1:35-39)

834. “You can have all the knowledge in the world but if you do not have love you have nothing and all that you are is chaotic noise. And this is love—nothing less and always greatest, in that, it is always unconditional and sacrificial. This means it is never about self and always about serving.” 12/25/15 

Inspiration: (1 Corinthians 13:1-3, 1 Corinthians 13:4-7, 1 Corinthians 13:13; Mark 10:45)

835. “There should always be a nervousness at work within the spokesman of God. Whenever the spokesman of God speaks whether we approve of him or not, if the Lord has called the man to be His spokesman, that man should always have this mind, heart, body and spirit about him—‘This is too great for me. I am unworthy of this. It is not I but Christ. They are not my words but His. I can never produce salvation, but the the Lord Jesus who is the eternal salvager of the soul does.’” 12/26/15

836. “If we have faith in Jesus Christ, based upon hearing the Word of God, although we do not see Him, we have faith and faith in that context is defined as illustrated in Hebrews 11:1.” 12/28/15

Revelation given to be as I read quote #756 from Part 31 along with Hebrews 11:1 in the NKJV, AMP and The Voice translations. Praise you Lord! 

837. “All is a work of time. So if you’re lazy and impatient don’t expect to experience Christ. For God has summed it up for all time: ‘Be still and know that I am God.’”  
12/29/15

838. “To the man of God, concerning thoughts of marriage. If she be not regenerated, it’s but a waste of time.” 
12/30/15

839. “As God is my witness. Those words carry so much weight. Yet to those who disbelieve; to those who make light of the Lord of heaven and earth, these words are a joke and nothing more than something to express their seriousness or intent to be taken serious without any regard to the Lord. Yet I now say: As God is my witness and these words are the last to be recorded for the year of 2015, I thank Him that in weakness, in sickness, even with debilitating pains and bones hurt, wrists in pain, a shoulder temporarily locked in place, eyes blood shot, and many speaking ill of me, coming against me, even smiling in my face one moment and speaking hateful words behind my back the next, I have persevered to bless, to encourage, to record down all that the Lord God had for me to faithfully and accurately write down. I have reached out to others to encouraged them while bedridden, while lacking sleep, while with aches accompanied with trembling. I have sought to find a way to write when I was not afforded the quickest solution and most comforting of atmospheres. I have written when no one else believed, when all else have left, when those who said they believed one moment and the next they did not. Yes, as He is my witness, I write this with a clear conscience towards the Lord my God. Every moment with every experience attached to it was well worth it, if but only it would be acknowledged by my God, that I did all that He inspired me to write down, to say and to share. Thank you Lord for an exceptional year. Many were blessed. Many were prayed for. Many were encouraged, and I am confident you are just getting started. As 2015 comes to a close let 2016, I pray, know the greatness of your timeless Word, in my writing, in my speaking and in my living, as only your glory and praise can cause to be. Amen. Beloved ones, as always: You are loved.” 12/31/15 

The last divinely inspired quote for the year of 2015. Thank you Jesus!
