Feed your human spirit by reading or listening to the word of God

Spiritual blindness is being ignorant of things of the spirit. Spiritual blindness doesn't just happen. Instead, those that are spiritually blind MUST qualify for that position.

According to scripture, a person must reject (not believe) the word of God in part or whole for the Enemy to have legal access to blinding the minds or spiritual understanding of folks.

"But if our gospel (the word of God) be hidden (not understood), it is hidden to them that are lost; in whom the god of this world (Satan) have blinded the minds of them which believe not" 2 Corinthians 4:3-4.

Isn't it interesting how you instantly become tired, sleepy, irritable, or confused whenever you read or listen to the word of God? How can you pick up any book of interest and understand what you're reading, but in your attempts to read your Bible, it either doesn't make sense, or you don't remember what you've read?

My friend, the Enemy is fully aware of the law, and he knows that if he can keep you away from the word of God or frustrate you in giving up on reading it, then he also knows that he can make you ignorant of things spiritual in particular the things of God.

I am speaking to the spirit of someone right now, and you are under the impression that the lack of money is your problem, the lack of resources, your spouse, your job, your housing condition, etc. in fact, you have narrowed your problem down to a person, place or thing. The truth is, my friend, the answers to all of what you have concluded as your situation is found in the spirit world, and access to the spirit world and how things operate begins with reading your BIBLE.

The Bible is the ONLY LIVING BOOK! In fact, it is spirit. Jesus said, "The words that I speak (the word) they are SPIRIT, and they are life, John 6:63. Therefore, in reading the Bible, whether you understand it or not, it is FEEDING YOUR HUMAN SPIRIT AND NOT YOUR FLESH. The healing of your flesh comes from feeding your spirit with the word of God.

Make no mistake, when you reject God's word, Satan blinds your mind, and at that point, he leads you.

GOD SAID TO TELL YOU THIS MORNING THAT THE ANSWERS YOU SO DESPERATELY SEEK RESIDES IN HIS WORD; HE SAID TO REMIND YOU THAT YOU ARE NOT FAILING BECAUSE YOU DON'T HAVE THE RESOURCES OR LACKING IN A PARTICULAR AREA. INSTEAD, YOU'RE BEING DESTROYED DUE TO A LACK OF KNOWLEDGE OF THE WORD OF GOD, HOSEA 4:6. RESTORE YOUR SPIRITUAL MIND BY LISTENING TO AND READING THE WORD OF GOD!

Are You Spiritually Authorized To Effectively Rebuke Dreams

Any kingdom, organization, company, or group operating effectively and successfully will directly result from the delegated authority distributed and levied on whom authority within those organizations is given.

Authority is the power to determine, adjudicate, or settle disputes. It is also defined as the right to control, command, or decide over whatever you've been given authority.

As it relates to our dreams, our portals into the spirit realm. We must be authorized or understand our authority related to rebuking, commanding, or simply understanding what we can and cannot do in the spirit realm. I have counseled and met with many folks to discuss their dream. Some of the folks I've met would say, "Minister Ewing! There were certain dreams that I followed your advice on regarding canceling. Nevertheless, weeks or months later, what I thought I canceled in the spirit via my dreams seems to be playing out in my life all over again".

The above scenario is a classic example of our teaching today: understanding our authority and the authority of spirits in the spirit realm. In the realm of the spirit, there are many ranks of spirits. For example, in the book of Daniel, chapter 10:10-14, it is discovered that the prince of Persia was a high-ranking demon, a principality to be exact, that spiritually ruled the earthly kingdom of Persia. This principality delayed the messenger angel (Gabriel)  from continuing his journey to Earth to give Daniel his message. In fact, this demonic prince was so powerful that he delayed the messenger angel (Gabriel) for twenty-one days. The scripture then reveals that Michael, one of the chief prince angels from the kingdom of God, came and resisted the Prince demon from the kingdom of Satan.

The above-noted passage of scripture gives us a glimpse of ongoing activities in the spirit realm that we are unaware of unless God reveals it to us in our dreams or visions. Therefore, if a messenger angel sent from God to deliver a message to a human being was able to be delayed by a high-ranking demon in the spirit realm. What would be the case for those human beings who enter the spirit realm via their dreams with zero authority in that realm?

The reality is that only Jesus Christ can give us authority related to spiritual things, especially when it comes to subduing and resisting the evil and opposing spirits that challenge us from the spirit realm. Firstly, the requirement for Jesus' authority to be given to us to challenge these evil spirits, we must believe that Jesus Christ exists and accept him into our lives as our lord and savior. Amazingly, when this occurs, we are immediately given power over spiritual entities opposing us, such as evil spirits, demons, and the like. The following is biblical proof: "The seventy-two returned with joy and said, "Lord, even the demons submit to us in your name." "I have given you authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and overcome all the enemy's power; nothing will harm you," Luke 10:17, 19.

As you would have read, the additional seventy-two disciples who clearly believed and accepted that Jesus was the Christ could legally use the name of Jesus Christ to challenge, defeat, and ultimately make demons submit to them. Jesus now explains in Luke 10:19 why they could exercise such power. Jesus said that he had given them "AUTHORITY" to trample or subdue snakes and scorpions. Before I proceed any further, I would like to provide an understanding of the terms snakes and scorpions. Snakes and scorpions are terms used to symbolize evil spirits, but, more importantly, their behavior and characteristics in the spirit world mirror that of these same creatures in the natural. Joel 2:25 gives another example: "And I will restore the years that the locust hath eaten, the canker-worm, the Caterpillar, and the palmerworm, my great army which I sent among you." Again, the insects in this text were not eating away at humans. Instead, the insects are the personification of evil spirits attacking and devouring their spiritual blessings.

Think about it for a second. Do you really believe Jesus was giving power and authority to his disciples to subdue animals? Or were the insects in Joel 2:25 really eating away at the lives of those described in the text? Nevertheless, you are a sitting duck in the spirit realm if you're not a member of the body of Christ because the authority and power to successfully fight in the spirit realm can only come via accepting Jesus Christ.

The Bible provides a clear-cut example of the consequences of what can happen when someone attempts to use unauthorized power against evil spirits. In Acts 19. it is recorded that the sons of Sceva tried to use force and authority that was not given to our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

"Then some Jews who went around trying to drive out demons attempted to use the name of the Lord Jesus on those who had evil spirits, saying, "I command you by that Jesus whom Paul preaches!" "And there were seven sons of one Sceva, a Jew and chief of the priests. The evil spirit answered them, "I know Jesus, and I recognize Paul--but who are you?" And the man, in whom was the evil spirit, leaped on them and subdued all of them and overpowered them so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded", Acts 19:13-16.

So, are you or have you been authorized to use the name and power of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, against the evil spirits challenging you spiritually or even physically? If your answer is no, this would explain why you're rebuking and canceling bad dreams that seem not working, or the attacks would stop for a season and return. In such a case, it was probably the grace of God working for you as a non-believer or the generational blessings from your ancestors who were committed to Jesus Christ.

Why not take this opportunity to ask Jesus Christ to take up residence in your heart? Tell him you're tired of living a defeated, shallow, and hopeless life that has left you completely exposed to the wiles of the Devil. Once you have made this life-changing move, then at that very moment, you will be given the power to trample on snakes and scorpions and to overcome all the power of the enemy; nothing will harm you according to the promise made by Jesus in Luke 10:19.

If these teachings are building you spiritually and advancing your thinking with revelations, please share them with others so they can be liberated.

Masquerading Spirits In Our Dreams

This afternoon, I had a brief dream that I've decided to share with you as a teachable moment.

I drifted off to sleep shortly after 5 pm. Immediately, I found myself in a dream. In this dream, I was standing in my living room and noticed my door was ajar. I could see the bright sunlight beaming through the portion of the door that was partially open.

As I approached the door to close it, I noticed a person standing at the front of the entrance. I pulled the door completely open to see who this person was. It appeared to be a cousin of mine dressed in a white Bahamas Defense Force uniform.

Surprisingly, she had her head downward as if she didn't want me to see her face. She was motionless, and it seemed she was waiting for me to invite her in. For some reason or another, even though this person's structure appeared to be my cousin, something just didn't seem right. Aside from that, the more I attempted to get a good look at her face, the more it appeared not to be my cousin. So I shouted, "You are not my cousin; I recognize you, you masquerading spirit, and I rebuke you in the Name Of Jesus."

Well, immediately after I rebuked this masquerading spirit impersonating my cousin in my dream, it disappeared, and I woke up. Here is why such a dream is a teachable moment related to understanding our dreams. My home in the dream represents my life. The masquerading spirit that decided to impersonate my cousin was attempting to obtain my trust in the dream to invite it into my life (home).

As a reminder, spirits need human permission or approval to manifest their will on the earth, specifically in a person's life. Again, a masquerading spirit, which is an evil spirit, could be a spirit of sickness, poverty, delay, anxiety, depression, etc., disguised as someone we are familiar with or unfamiliar with. If I invited this spirit into my home, I would have established an evil covenant between me and the spirit to operate in my natural life. However, because I immediately canceled what that spirit had pending for my life from the spirit realm, there cannot be any manifestation in my life in the natural realm.

This dream also reveals the spirit of truth, which is the Holy Spirit revealing to me that this masquerading spirit was not my cousin but a masquerading spirit. Look at what the bible says about Satan and his evil workers regarding their ability to masquerade. "Don't be surprised, for Satan is transformed into an angel of light. Therefore, it is no great thing if his ministers can transform as ministers of righteousness, whose end shall be according to their works" 2 Corinthians 11:14, 15. This is why I insist you make reading your bible or exposing yourself to preaching or teaching of the Word of God. The purpose of this is the word of God, which is spirit feeds your human spirit once exposed to it. As a result, your success in your dreams will be more frequent because there is better communication between your human spirit and the Holy Spirit against the evil forces targeting you in the spirit realm via your dream.

This is about the fifth or sixth time I have had a dream in which a person outside my home attempted to convince me to let them inside my house. In any event, such a dream would result from the enemy failing to physically secure entry into your life via temptation. It will now resort to covertly trying to secure an agreement from the dreamer via their dream to begin the process of misery in the dreamer's life.

Once again, these teachings on dreams bring clarity and understanding to your dreams and cause you to put the pieces of revelation together to unlock the mysteries of your life.

Put on your spiritual armor prior to going to sleep

It is of vital importance that before going to bed, you must cover yourself with the whole armor of God according to Ephesians. 6:11, 13. Then you must ask God to expose every hidden agenda of the enemy in your dreams, again, before bedtime. Begin making your verbal declarations that you refuse to come to any agreement with any covert or overt evil covenant and that you will rely solely on the aid of the Holy Spirit throughout the course of your dreams, particularly in the area of exposing masquerading spirits.

Finally, ask God to reveal to you via the spirit realm through the portal of your dreams, every enemy, and device of evil pending and currently against you along with his instructions for you to overcome the enemy in the spirit so that his plans will be canceled in the natural.

Now, thank God for the victory that you believe you already have by faith in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. Amen!

God does not discriminate when man ask for wisdom

Because wisdom is so critical to us as it relates to our spiritual advancement. God has pulled out all of the stops and said that if ANYONE lacks wisdom, let his ask of God, that gives to ALL MEN liberally, and upbraided not; and it shall be given him, James 1:5.

There are things that you do not know, that God is fully aware of. Unfortunately, it is what you don't know that is securing and ensuring your defeat, failures and confusion. The above scripture is in essence an awesome promise from God simply because he isn't setting any requirements for you to receive wisdom from him all he's asking you to do is just ask him whether you're saved or unsaved.

This spiritual laws explains just why some unbelievers are running circles around Believers. The reason is, the unbeliever knows how to cry out to God in term of requesting wisdom from him to aid them in their advancement. The Believer on the other hand thinks that because he's a born again believer, wisdom is automatic for him or her.

The book of Proverbs, clearly stated that wisdom is the principle thing; therefore get wisdom, Proverbs 4:7. If you're being asked or commanded to get something, then it would indicate that some effort must be made on the part of the one being commanded to get whatever, right? Secondly, it would stand to reason that whatever it is that you're being asked to get, will not automatically come looking for you.

Therefore, whatever it is that you feel you do not have the missing pieces to. Ask God for wisdom so that you can begin the process of putting the piece together to ensure clarity. "Lord give me the wisdom for my marriage", "Lord give me the wisdom for my job", Lord give me the wisdom for my ministry". "Father, give me the wisdom to make better decisions". "Lord, give me the wisdom to be a better, Boss, Father, Mother, Pastor etc." Father your word declares that you do not discriminate when it comes to distributing wisdom. All you require is that we ask for it. Therefore, tonight we ask for wisdom in every area of our lives in the name of your son Jesus Christ. Amen!

Seeds produce after their kind

One of the greatest errors that we make in life that would eventually change the course of our lives, is our inability to carefully analyze the seeds we plant in our lives.

Now to be clear in what I am saying, I am referring to seeds as, people that we would eventually marry or what I also refer to as folks we forge covenants with. Scriptures, says that every seed produces or replicates after its kind, Genesis 1:11. In other word an Apple seed must produce Apples and a grape seed will only produce grape. Jesus himself said, “Make a tree good and its fruit will be good, or make a tree bad and its fruit will be bad, for a tree is recognized by its fruit”, Matthew 12:33.

Using the above mentioned spiritual law as our point of reference, we must now ask ourselves the question, why is it that we rarely if ever do our due diligence, in terms of research on the FAMILY of the person that we intend to forge a covenant with in regards to marrying them? Again, if the biblical law dictates that every seed produces after its kind then why do we insist on marrying that man or woman whom we know good and well, is a descendant from a family of Alcoholics, Sweetheart keepers, divorcee, barrenness, anti-God, etc.?

Let me be crystal clear here! I am not discriminating against such families, I am not even remotely suggesting you're too good for them. However, what I am saying, is the spiritual seed (curse) of that family is automatically levied on the descendant of the members of that family. Therefore, until the curse is recognized and broken, you are in essence marrying or covenanting with the evil spiritual forces that plague that family. Again, it does not matter what these persons portray on the outside. For example, your future mate maybe a Lawyer, Doctor, CEO of a company or even own their own business, unknowing to these people if their family line is under a particular curse then it will be just a matter of time before they will be challenge by the evil trends of their family. Again, once a family is under a curse it is only a matter of time before the signs of what that family is all about decides to display itself. It’s like time release capsules that’s released in each member of that family and things begin to go down hill from that point forward. Interestingly enough, any family member that attempts to break this curse or decides to give their life to the lord will be targeted by the spirits that govern the curse over the family to place overwhelming pressure on that family member that attempts to break free.

The older generations had a clear understanding of this. Do you recall back in the day when you brought your significant other over to meet your parents or grandparents? While you were all about listing the good qualities along with how beautiful or handsome your significant others were, your folks wanted to know where they came from in terms of family. The first question your folks would ask, particularly your grandparents would be, "Sweetie who ya people is"? In other words which family do you hail from? Of course the reasoning behind this was quite clear to the parents and grandparents and that is they wanted to connect the fruit which would have been your significant other to the tree which was the family they came from to determine if they would add to your life or take away from your life.

Old folks sayings such as, "Look before you leap" and "A little can tell you what a lot will be like" were all rooted in the biblical laws that says, "Every seed produces after its kind, Genesis 1:11 and you’d know the tree by its fruit, Matthew 12:33. Make no mistake, every family have secrets and more than likely you'll never know these secrets, especially in the beginning of the courtship. Nevertheless, the tentacle of whatever those secrets are in that family will eventually rear its head in the members of that family one day and by extension into the lives of those that they marry. Trust me when I say to you that there are many folks walking about daily that appear normal and seem to have everything in place. However, deep within them is a time release capsule of utter misery waiting for the right victim to bind themselves to and released the curse upon their lives. In all fairness to the family member that’s carrying the curse more than likely they have zero idea that they are under a curse. Therefore, it isn’t unusual to hear a victim of these circumstances make the following statements, “Man if I had known what I know now I would never marry so and so”. “Boy! From the day I said I do, my life was never the same and happiness is but a distant memory to me”.

You see my friend, the kind of society we reside in, promotes the idea of marrying someone that can help you or someone that have a good job, education etc. The reality is you’re program from a young age to only observe the outward appearance, again such as education, a person having their own home or business etc. When the reality is these things will eventually mean absolutely nothing when the person with these things that you once saw as a security net is making your life a living hell. Stupid advice from those that claim they want the best for you, such as, “Love who love you”, “Marry someone who could do for you” or “Make sure the person you marry have a good car, house and a degree” is in reality unconsciously setting you up for future disaster. Many of you reading this article right now I am sure can relate to what I am saying simply because you’re probably currently living this nightmare or you had a former experience.

Nevertheless it will always and continue to be God's desire for all of us to experience a happy and fulfilling life. This is why He insist we read and apply his spiritual laws that will cause us to navigate our way through life and connect with his best for our lives. The scripture says that there is a way that will always seem right to us but we are guaranteed according to this same spiritual law that destruction will be our end result when we decide to do things our way, Proverbs 16:25.

I do not know who God is speaking to through this article today, but what I do know is that God knows the end of all beginnings. Thus, he's fully aware of how your beginning will end with your future prospect. Therefore, place your misleading feelings and emotions on hold for a moment and earnestly ask the creator of all things, "Lord is this the person you desire me to be a life partner with? Father, please reveal to me the things I am ignorant to about this person, because your word clearly states that we are destroyed because of a lack of knowledge, Hosea 4:6.

Lord you know my heart and I cannot hide from you how I feel about this person but at the same time I cannot afford to waste my precious life with this person if this is not the person for me. Therefore lord, if this is not your best choice for me, then just how you harden the heart of Pharaoh to resist Moses, I am begging you to harden my heart towards this person so that I would not marry this person who would ultimately change the course of my life for the worse in Jesus mighty name. Amen! 

Friends hear me in your spirit today, everyone have family curses and family blessings, ask God right now to break you free from any blood line curses that maybe over your life that you may not be aware of and to enforce the generational blessing of your ancestors upon your life in Jesus mighty name amen!

The greatest sign of commitment is discipline!

While many are aspiring to be Doctors, Lawyers, Teachers, developing a closer walk with God, being married, having children, job promotions and whatever else; the ingredient call discipline is usually absent from their equation in achieving their desires.

To be discipline suggests that you have thoroughly considered the principles, rules and regulation of whatever it is that you're getting yourself into and at the same time decided that you would subject yourself to the rules, regulations and principles that accompany and govern that situation in an effort, to achieve your intended desires..... This my friend now becomes the personification of commitment!

So based on the above understanding let's take note of the following scenario. Are you involved with someone that speaks of how committed they are, however you've observe a major lack of discipline in their life? Well my friend this is called "putting the carriage before the horse", meaning, a horse pulls a carriage but it is impossible for a carriage to pull a horse. Therefore commitment will always be the end result of the consistent acts of discipline! In other words discipline is the engine that generates commitment.............

Discipline folks are not surface people, meaning their calculations of any situation is based on its surface and depth. It will be as a result of this overall assessment that they will then determine if they are capable of disciplining themselves to produce commitment to whatever it is they're planning on attaching or binding themselves to.

Uncommitted folks are just the opposite, they are always ready to leap before they look and consider after they would have act! Fortunately, you don't have to possess a spirit of discernment or be a prophet to recognize an uncommitted person. uncommitted folks are far more talkers than doers, unstable, always with an excuse, rarely able to fulfill promises, classic disappointers, always with big dreams and big ideas engulfed with big talk but it's usually followed with little to no action.

These folks are agents of Satan to keep you and themselves delayed or setback in life. Scripture tells us that a double minded (indecisive) man is unstable in not some but all of his ways and always armed with excuses to defend his instability to be discipline to achieve commitment, James 1:8, Scripture goes on to say, "He that tilleth his land shall have plenty of bread: but he that followeth after vain persons shall have poverty enough" Proverbs 28:19. The understanding of this scripture is suggesting that the one who works with discipline shall have a harvest at the end of the day, but the one that follows and believe in those that are big talkers, big dreamers with no action and gives no evidence of discipline or commitment in their lives. Then, it will be such persons that's holding their hand and guiding them on the road to poverty and a non-progressive life,

The bottom line is this my friend, if you want to be true to yourself and really determine if the carriage has been placed in front of the horse in your case with Mr. or Ms. Committed, then stop listening to their promises and exaggerated talk, now begin to mentally compare what they have said with the disciplines of life and this is how you will determine that their talk of commitment is just that, a talk and far from a reality.

"Ye shall know them by their fruits" Matthew 7:16.

Dreams Representing Delays pending For A Person's Life

So this morning, I had a dream that I was not at all surprised. In my dream, I dreamt that I was at an airport with one piece of luggage. This piece of luggage was on wheels, and I was pushing it towards my gate.

Anyway, just before I got to my gate, there was a narrow passage that I had to enter that would actually take me to the gate. I can recall placing the luggage before me, pushing it through this narrow passage. Within a few seconds, we were at the entrance where other people were waiting for the flight to be called, but I could not locate my luggage for some strange reason. I can recall frantically looking for my luggage. I saw similar luggage, but there were other names written on the identification tags when I inspected it.

Two police

officers were standing at the rear of my flight gate area, but the site where the police were located seems to be a lost and found area for luggage. I entered this small space again, searching frantically for my luggage but had no success finding it. I can also recall that just before the dream ended, I was perplexed and frustrated that I could not find my luggage and all of my personal and much-needed stuff was in there.

INTERPRETATION:

================

I started out by saying that this dream was more or less expected. My reason for saying this is since I have several engagements on the horizon and based on the contents of the dream it is clearly revealing an overall understanding of pending delay, coupled with frustration and fatigue.

The dream started off with me being at an airport. An airport in a dream symbolizes preparation and transition. My luggage in the dream that contained my clothing and personal effects would represent the tools needed to execute my future assignments. So far, the dream is revealing from a spiritual perspective that I am fully prepared to complete my coming tasks. However, the dream will show an attack pending in the spirit realm, specifically against those assignments.

As you would recall, I mentioned that I was rolling my luggage towards my flight gate, but before getting to my flight gate, there was a narrow passage that I had to go through and it was only when I came through this narrow passage to get to my flight gate I noticed that the luggage that was initially in front of me went missing. Now, because I did not see anyone take the bags and the luggage just disappeared, this part of the dream is now revealing that the source behind this pending attack is spiritual, and the leading spirit in this attack is the spirit of delay!!

Obviously, suppose all of my personal belongings are in my only piece of luggage. In that case, it is almost impossible for me to perform or complete my assignments where I am headed, clearly revealing the spirit of delay. Secondly, I mentioned that just before the dream ended, I felt a sense of confusion and fatigue, of course, due to not being able to locate my luggage. Confusion and frustration are the accompanying spirits that work along with the spirit of delay to further incapacitate the dreamer.

Well, because of my knowledge of dreams, upon waking, I went into intense prayer, declaring directly to the spirit realm by canceling and rebuking the dream and commanding that its spiritual contents will never manifest in reality. I have decided to share this particular dream, especially with those looking forward to great future expectations such as promotions. Dreams such as what I have mentioned clearly reveal to the dreamer what they cannot see in the spirit realm pending against them under normal circumstances.

Check Yourself Before You Wreck Yourself

Your lack of self-control and rotten attitude has cost you friends, promotions, favor, opportunities, and once open doors.

Your famous sayings such as, "This is who I am, take it or leave it," "I don't care what others think about me," "My haters are jealous of me," and "They can talk all they want" has caused you not to advance and remain anchored in your current dislike position. You have convinced yourself that because you're loud, arrogant, boisterous, and demanding, folks must honor and respect you.

My friend, if God were to show you the many opportunities you've missed out on because of your lack of discipline and self-control, you would probably hate yourself. Your attitude has clearly been determining your altitude, and based on where you are in life right now is a direct result of your unwelcome attitude.

Check yourself before you wreck yourself. While others appear to be laughing with you, the truth is they're laughing at you, and for the most part, they're spellbound by your immaturity and your inability to display respect for yourself and others.

"He that hath no rule over his own spirit is like a city that is broken down, and without walls" Proverbs 25:28. A city whose walls are broken down suggests that there are no forms of protection, anything or anyone can traffic in and out, no law, rule or principle to be guided by. It is equivalent to one who has no authority over their own spirit. Their lives are in complete and utter chaos..............

They believe life's rules, laws, and principles do not apply to them. However, the end result of their rebellious spirit has left them bitter, angry, and frustrated. In fact, no one wants to deal with them.

Friends, if you feel your life is going nowhere, or everyone else is progressing except you, before you place the blame on anyone, please, take an inventory of your attitude!

IS FAILURE REALLY FAILING FOR THE BELIEVER?

Is failure really failing for the Believers of Jesus Christ? I am convinced that "failure" for the Believer is not the same as the secular understanding or interpretation the world defines it as.

From a secular perspective, failing means missing an assigned mark or goal or not meeting a specific qualification.

Failure for the Believer means that something is missing, or whatever it is that we've considered being a failure is just part of a whole. Bottom line, SOMETHING IS MISSING OR NOT COMPLETED!

Indulge me for a few minutes as I unveil my understanding of this mystery. Biblical spiritual law dictates the following, "And we know (The Believers) that all things (Good and Bad) work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose" Romans 8:28

To understand this mystery of failure concerning the Believer. the key resides in the phrase of the scripture mentioned above, "ALL THINGS." All things are a combination of good and evil. Of course, as Christians, we've been erroneously taught to assume that "all things" suggest only good things. So, in essence, this scripture says that GOOD+BAD or BAD+GOOD either way will=GOOD FOR THE BELIEVER! In any scenario, THE PHRASE "all things" suggests that no matter how the situation presents itself to the Believer. Its conclusion must benefit the Believer.

Therefore, if what you're experiencing does not equal good, IT IS AN INDICATOR THAT IT'S NOT THE END!

I want to say to someone this morning who feels or has felt as if you're a failure or others have labeled you as a failure, the term failure for you is just a red flag SHOUTING.......... Something is missing, and for what you or others have concluded as a failure, the proper connection must be attached to your "failure," which will eventually produce good for you!

To seal this mystery, let's look at another spiritual law to bring this baby home....... "In everything (Good & bad) give thanks: for this is the WILL OF GOD IN CHRIST JESUS CONCERNING YOU" 1 Thessalonians 5:18. In other words, we must view the fortunate and the unfortunate experiences in our lives as a part of the overall plan of God to manufacture the end result of good for our lives.

As I said, failure is a good thing if we understand it from a biblical perspective which will always indicate that either something is missing or whatever we've supposedly "failed" at is not completed, or it's not the end of the matter......... But in any event, good or bad, we must thank God because not only is it his will for us at that particular time, but it MUST CONCLUDE IN GOOD FOR US, THE BELIEVERS OF JESUS CHRIST...........

For we know in part, and we prophesy in part, but when that which is perfect (complete) is come (full understanding), then that which was in part shall be done away with 1 Corinthians 13:9-10.

My people are failing because they lack available knowledge, Hosea 4:6........

Familiarize Yourself With The God Of The Scriptures

I cannot emphasize the importance of reading, studying, and researching things you believe in and are committed to. Reading was never something I initially enjoyed before accepting Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. 

Since converting to Christianity many years ago, I have significantly invested in reading. As a result, I have accumulated many books that have increased my knowledge base.

Yes! Most of the books I have read over the years have been inspired by my experiences. These experiences provoked me to not only want to know more about my challenges but also educate myself concerning their origin.

Scripture is clear when it says, "Study to show thyself approved unto GOD!" "And that we ought to work out our own salvation."

The reason for posting this post today is to point out to you that if you don't study scripture and seek God for yourself, which in reality is the process of developing a relationship with Him. Then you run the risk of becoming conformed to man-made religious systems, traditions, philosophies, and the eloquence of words by certain spiritual leaders with minimal, if anything, to do with The Holy Bible. Like yourself, I am at a point where I'm confronted daily with real issues, which rhymes, clichés, false prophecies, protocols, and church politics JUST CAN NOT FIX! The reality is WE ARE IN DESPERATE NEED OF THE WORD OF GOD!!!!! Unfortunately, in today's society, we are hearing and being introduced to everything except the Word of God.

Indulge me for a few seconds as I release what God has released. I am not shoving this understanding down your throat. Instead, I admonish you to ponder it and allow the Word to do what it was designed to do.

"Thus says the LORD, "Cursed is the man who trusts in mankind And makes flesh his strength, And whose heart turns away from the LORD. He will be like a bush in the desert, and he won't SEE WHEN GOOD COMES. He will dwell in parched places in the wilderness, a land of salt, without inhabitants" Jeremiah 17:5-6.

Wow! Now, isn't this interesting? God is making it abundantly clear to all who will pay attention to his Word that we are automatically under a CURSE when we replace him with the ideologies, philosophies, and the like of man. In fact, it goes on to say that when we place our trust in man and turn away from him (God), EVERYTHING DRIES UP IN OUR LIVES.............. But more importantly and notably, WE LOSE OUR ABILITY TO RECOGNIZE WHEN GOOD COMES OUR WAY. Now, please pay close attention to what the scripture is saying. It did not say God would not provide good while under this curse. Instead, it said we will be unable to recognize, decipher, or understand when what is good for us shows up.

The reality here is you could become so bound to a particular Preacher, Pastor, Apostle, Evangelist, church, or whatever they say becomes final to you. You will not see the need to study anymore, read anymore, or search the scriptures anymore TO SEE IF WHAT THEY ARE SAYING REALLY DOES LINE UP WITH WHAT THE WORD OF GOD SAYS. Instead, your trust is so saturated in a person, church, system, or tradition, and, as a result of this, WHEN GOD DOES SPEAK AND SUPPLY YOU WITH THE GOOD YOU WERE ASKING FOR, OR HE KNOWS THAT YOU NEED, YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO RECOGNIZE IT WHEN IT COMES........... Mighty God, please help us!

Are your conversations focused more on what your pastor says than what God's Word teaches? Are you more concerned about being seen doing wrong by your pastor, or are you mindful of God, who sees everything you do? When you give, is it for the sake of your religious leader, or are you genuinely offering to help those less fortunate and promote the Kingdom of God on Earth? I'm not condemning anyone; I'm simply pointing out that it's easy to idolize a person, organization, or building to the point where you unconsciously treat them as your God while neglecting to give sincere attention to the God of all creation.

Finally, the unanswered prayers and hardships you are experiencing, which may feel as though nothing is changing for you, could be a result of misplacing your trust and commitment in people rather than in God. As a result, you may have unwittingly placed a curse upon yourself, preventing you from recognizing the blessings that God has continually sent your way.

My words of wisdom today are simply this, RE-VISIT WHERE YOU'VE PLACED YOUR TRUST AND COMMITMENT. It might reveal or even explain the mystery surrounding your misery.
