"We shall Reign with Him""

 Timothy 2-11-12

This is a faithful saying;
For if we died with Him,
We shall also live with Him!
 * If we endure*
We shall also reign with Him!
If we deny Him,
He will also deny us.  .......... Please give this a lot of  "thought and prayer" It will change your life!

I can remember years back as young Christians so many people in our huge church of 2500 people
many would use this saying  "I am Blessed" as they shook our hands coming into Church. So many times we didn't feel blessed but smiled often times holding back tears. We were going through some pretty rocky years in those early days. I can see "today so clearly" all the jagged edges that God needed to begin smoothing off in our life.  To say it a little stronger  "Make me fight for what He has called me to become"!
If you have ever looked down into a shallow river bed you will notice smooth rocks inlaid in the sandy bottom these are commonly called "River Rocks"  when river rocks are bought for decorating purposes outdoors they are more costly than regular stones but so much more "Beautiful"  All these rocks and stones were once jagged and rough but in time made smooth  and lovely to look at because of the constant buffeting, flooding, and washing away till they become shiny, smooth and rounded almost gem like..

* David used smooth rocks to "Kill the Giant Goliath"  why?  because they flew faster being made smooth and firmer without any jagged resistance.

* The word of God does just the same work in our lives as we continue to wash ourselves with the reading of the Bible "It is often referred to in the Bible as  our being washed in the word.

* We as "believers of God" are "also" referred to as "living stones". 

As we grow stronger  "In the Lord and His Promises" through the rough times, we become much like David the "Giant slayer" learning to come against and "fight back" instead of letting the enemy steal, rob, and destroy what God has given to us in "His"promises."  The word of God  is our "weapon of warfare" against the enemy of our lives. Any time he comes against the "Name of the Lord"  in our lives making attempts to attack us by stealing what belongs to us in "Christ Jesus" But we can fight back by claiming it's ours in the "Powerful name of "Jesus"! through His promised covenant with us! And he must return it!  These are covenant truths  that rightfully belongs to you and I through the "Blood of Jesus"  "Jesus" paid the price for us to have these freedoms and the enemy is not allowed to touch us! or our belongings!

What rightfully belongs to us you ask? Everything in life that sustains you to live!  Your jobs, your family,  love for your wife or husband, children, home, health, "These are all blessings from God!' and the enemy has no right to steal whats ours unless we do something that opens his darkened doorways letting him have that invitation . "Sinning"!   Do your best by reading your Bible daily, watching good Christian T.V, Radio, house Meetings to studying the Bible, or a good Church.  Beside all this we should maintain a "loving and intimate time of prayer and devotional time" regularly in the early part of the morning before the day starts or if that's not an option  do these things whenever when ever possible  and regularly to keep yourself under the protection of Gods love and care.  A  Psalm 91, lifestyle of Dwelling with God!

 I learned how to live may "Victorious and Exiting" years through learning and growing in "Jesus".  But that all said and done today I am able to throw the stones of  many "Mighty and Valued Truths" "Kingdom Truths"! reminding the devil of my covenant agreement through what "Jesus did at the cross"  for me! and  "Hold on to what is mine in Christ"  "On Christ the solid rock I stand"  All other Rocks are sinking sand"!  Being careful of other persuasions that are "Man"centered "Rather than the word of Gods truth and Power! Which destroys all evil!  There are far too many "Icons or Idols" today that have made a name for themselves rather than encouraging Gods people to continually keep their eyes on "Jesus"  and the life giving   "Blood covenant"  He  established for us through the giving of His life at Calvary ! 

2 Timothy 2; 11-12    (If we "Die"with Him!  We shall also "Live"with him!)    Hallelujah!
Also read "Hebrews 11" the hall of faithful . Believers now "Patriarchs" of Gods lovingly known to us as the  "Hall of faith"  To die in Christ Jesus means to give up the "sins and darkness" of this worlds corruptions by living in and through Him!.  Each of us know what these things are in our individual lives that hold us back from living in the fulness of Christ.

Because of the "Many Victory's" through Jesus I have a long list of  "still growing" accomplishments.  Giving all the Glory to God alone!  For only He could make all these things possible!

* Have Led and taught many  many Bible study's and Glory Gatherings of Prayer.
* Have been invited to be guest speaker to Women's Meetings, in Churches and business Motivational Meetings  and more.
* Have been part of many prayer vigils with thousands for the "innocent unborn"and marching against abortion! The largest genocide our nation sadly condones.
* Have stood in prayer till "Doors Closed" for fortune tellers an other ungodly occult practices in different  cities we have lived!
* Have spent much time in "Soup Houses" "Feeding, helping and counseling" poor and downtrodden souls.
* Ministered and prayed for thousands on national broadcasting T.V. programs like 700 club as well as Channel 55 and other Christian ministry's in different states I lived
* Prayed interceded relentlessly until breakthrough came to go to "Africa" on a personal mission for God  Also to Mexico to build churches and lead others to Christ!
* Had the privilege to produce my own "Christian T.V. and Radio  Programs" touching multitudes  for Christ 

And last but most importantly!  The saving of Souls!   a "Continual ever flowing Stream" throughout my life on the streets, and highways and byways of my life.

Remember also that "your accomplishments" may differ from mine.  We are all drawn and called to be able to work in different ways in Christ. I can't do what you do and you can't do what I do.  But if we all do our part,  the world will know and desire  "Jesus  love and salvation" Gods gift to us!

  For if we "Die" to self letting "Jesus be Lord"!  over everything in our  "Hearts"and life"  We shall Truly  be enabled to live our life in and through "Him" Forever in Eternity"  Escaping the fury of hell!  A place meant only for those who have utterly rejected the work Of  Christ.

Be quick to receive Him even this hour as you read this!    By saying this prayer with me today!

Jesus I repent! I ask your forgiveness for all my ways .
Take my life and do something beautiful with it.  I thank you and know you will grow and raise me as I spend daily time reading the word of God. I will find a Bible teaching Church,  Home group, or Ministry friends to help me.   I love you Jesus!  and I thank you for coming to live in my heart  this day and forever more. AMEN
