Another king, one Jesus

Another King, One Jesus! don't lose him in the storms.
Written,December 2, 2004
Acts 17:7..And these all do contrary to the decrees of Caesar, saying that there is another king, ONE JESUS. You have a relationship with Jesus Christ and you know beyond a shadow of a doubt that he is in you, how? Your heart is pure, it has the love of God.
Keep a watch on your heart, making sure it has no sin in it. How? Charity is the bond of perfection. If you are a chosen vessel, saten will try to strip you of all that you have, why? To stop you from helping others find the Lord in their lives. Whether, by preaching, witnessing, books, computers, streets, singing, tv, radio any means by which, you are trying to reach the lost and dieing world. Saten wants you and everyone else to go to hell, with him and his angels.. Here are some scriptures that will help you learn more of his tricks. God opens up more of his word to us as we draw closer to him. To show us that we are not suffering alone. That we all must face and suffer the same things. And we encourage and help each other to hold on. For many times lack of knowledge causes us to give up. When we are confused and don't know what to do or which way to turn. Many times we give up. That is where the word comes in, to shine in darkness, to show us the way and comfort us. It guides our path. with out it we are blind and can't tell where we are going. If you are blind, just hang on the word will come to you some way. God will see that it reaches you. The word, anointed word quickens, and brings to life, and shines a light for us to see, where and what to do, in a storm. Dead word, no anointing, kills us, no life, don't shine the light for us to see, we die in the storm. It causes us to give up, whats the use. Anointing word lifts us up and gives us a strength and desire to go on. Shines a light for us to see how to get out of the dark storm.
WE MUST LEARN TO KEEP OUR DEDICATION DURING THE DARK STORMS. This is where the strength lies. You want the anointing to reach others, here is where you grow and become strong. It's when you are being tried. Keep your eyes on Jesus, keep charity. Remember God is charity. 1 John 3:14.. If saten plants a feeling in your heart, you have got to get rid of it. If you have to pray all night or two or three nights if you have to. That is saten trying to take it from you. By abusing or beating you, here are some scriptures to help you more understand.
Acts 5:16. There came also a multitude out of the cities round about unto Jersalem, bringing sick folks, and them which were vexed with unclean spirits: and they were healed everyone.
17. Then the high priest rose up, and all they that were with him, (which is the sect of the Sadducees,) and were filled with indignation.
Notice how saten moves in right after people are being set free. This is going to happen to you also. Whether you are a housewife, preacher, what ever. Saten is going to try to stop anyone that is a threat to his kingdom. He will stir up ever one that has the devil in them to stop you.
18. And laid their hands on the apostles, and put them in the common prison.
It may not be a natural prison, like down town, it may be in your home. Your husband or wife stop you. You are bound for a while. Pray till you pray your way back out. Saten, may have come so hard against you, that your flesh weakened and you sliped and said something or threw a plate at him, whoever saten is in, what ever. And that spirit is trying to bind and defeat you. Keep your dedication no matter what. By this I mean keep praying, keep reading. Don't listen to discouraging spirits. Your relationship with God is not on how good you are, but how dedicated you are. God is the one that is good. By keeping your dedication you are killing out the old man. It's Christ in you remember, not you. If you keep praying he will take the bitterness out of you, if not it will cause you to back away and grow cold and then backslide. If your husband, wife, anyone beats you to death almost, keep praying, reading. If you feel you can't take no more and its time to call the law. Keep praying, God will not let you lose your mind. That is just the trick of the devil. Before the night is over, after crawling to your place of prayer. Sore and beaten, God will not fail you he will restore your mind. There ain't a devil in hell can take your mind if you stay dedicated. If you can't say nothing when you get in your place of prayer, it doesn't matter. All God wanted to do was see you crawl to him, putting forth a effort to come to him. Honey he will do the rest. Seeing if you will stay with him through good times and bad times. People God will not let you down, if we do our part. How do I know, I been there. You can't preach it until, you walk it. People can tell the difference. Decietful preachers may think sheep are stupid and can't tell, but they can.
19. But the angel of the Lord by night opened the prison doors, and brought them forth, and said,
20. Go stand and speak in the temple to the people all the words of this life.
21. And when they heard that they entered into the temple early in the morning, and taught.
See they keep going no matter what. God never failed them. We are not above our master, we have got to be willing to suffer for him, even if it is being beaten.
Just don't stop praying and reading. Keep walking that is faith. By praying you are killing out the old man. The fleshly mind (old man) which will argue against, what God is wanting you to do. And telling you to get even with the one that is hurting you. But when you pray, God will clear your mind and you will know that, it is saten in them doing it. And God's love, will want you to be, good to them and help them, find Jesus for their self. Friends this can't be done in flesh, flesh fights back. If you slip and fight back. Don't give up still, find you a place to pray until you fix it. Be sure and ask them to forgive you. If you can't, pray till you can. (That is if you want the anointing.) It takes a process of time to kill flesh out, so God's devine nature can rule. This is daily prayer, dying daily. If your mind is flooded with things you should do to someone, that has hurt you or done you wrong. Pray and let God get rid of it for you, we can't. And he will, all we have to do is stay dedicated. Letting nothing stop us from praying, reading, fasting and obeying God. He no doubt wants to see if we love him more than our selfish pride.
40. And to him they agreed; and when they had called the apostles, and beaten them, they commanded that they should not speak in the name of Jesus, and let them go.
42. And daily in the the temple, and in every house, they ceased not to teach and preach Jesus Christ.
Nothing stopped them. If you ask someone to forgive you and they don't. Thats not your fault, you done your part. Don't let this stop you. You know if your heart is pure. don't let what they think about you stop you. Or their words to condemn you, like remember what you done. say it's under the blood. You know if you are right how? Because you love...when you in your flesh you should hate...and would hate with a passion, but God has taken it out of your heart once again..
Acts 16:24. Who, having received such a charge, thrust them into the inner prison, and made their feet fast in the stocks.
25. And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises unto God, and the prisoners heard them.
26. And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken; and immediately all the doors were opened and every one's bands were loosed.
27. And the keeper of the prison awaking out of his sleep, and seeing the prison doors open, he drew out his sword, and would have killed himself, supposing that the prisoners had been fled.
28. But Paul cried with a loud voice saying, Do thyself no harm; for we are all here.
29. Then he called for a light, and sprang in, and came trembling and feel down before Paul and Silas,
30. And brought them out and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved?
31. And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.
32. And they spake unto him the word of the Lord, and to all that were in his house.
33. And they took them the same hour of the night, and washed their stripes; and was baptized, he and all his, straightway. See how they never stopped, even though they had been beaten. You know they were flesh and blood like us. They had to be in pain, their backs beaten off. They never let pain, nothing stop them. See the feelings of their flesh, what ever it was never stopped them. 11 Corinthians 4:8..We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed; Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in out body.
In the last verse 18..They said they were looking to the things that could not be seen with the natural eye, which were eternal.
If you have been beaten and your arms are sore, that you can not hardly write you are looking to things that cannot be seen. Your reward will be when this life is over. Look beyond this flesh. The real you is the inner man. This flesh is going to perish.
Hebrews 11:..Now faith is the substances of things hope for, the evidence of things not seen. It would be good to read this whole chapter later.
Ecclesiastes 3:1..To every thing there is a season...remember seasons change, storms don't last for ever. Stay faithful in the storms. If you don't know what is going on, which way to turn. Stay dedicated.
Acts 20:24...But none of these things move me, neither count I my life dear unto myself, so that I might finish my course with joy, and the ministry, which I have received of the Lord Jesus, to testify the gospel of the grace of God.
