WELCOME TO GOD FOCUS THIS MORNING

THE TITLE FOR TODAY’S EPISODE: LIFT US UP

It doesn’t matter how far human beings sink, God is able to reach down and lift them out of their sin. As long as they do not go so far as to blasphemy against the spirit of God or the Holy Ghost. Many Christians have an epiphany moment where they cried out to God and he reached down and lifted them out of the pit.

Psalm 40:1-2 I waited patiently for the Lord; and he inclined unto me, and heard my cry. 2 He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings.

God will establish us. He will make sure the foundation under our feet is a solid foundation.

Is 41:10 Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.

We have no reason to fear, God is with us. He will give us strength and will give us the help we need. He will lift us up or hold us up to keep us from falling. We can be encouraged to know that God is with us.

He turns our mourning into joy. He gives us good things to replace the bad things. He gives us beauty for ashes. When the enemy tries to burn down our lives and we are left to mourn over what may have been. God is right there to give us peace and encourage us that he will give us a different outcome.

Is 63:3 To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, that he might be glorified.

Our lives are meant to glorify God. We cannot glorify him if we are sad and depressed all the time. I am not saying we will not walk through times of saddness and mourning. That is just life, but some people choose to live their lives in that state all the time. We were never meant to be void of joy. God will give us joy, if we will delight in him and give him praise. God will give us strength in our struggles.

We can be sure he will never abandon us to be overtaken by the enemy. God is there, all we have to do is call on his name and he will lift us up.

Thanks for watching,

WELCOME TO GOD FOCUS THIS MORNING

THE TITLE FOR TODAY’S EPISODE: THIS IS WAR

Make no mistake my friends we are in a war for the soul of our nation. Many souls hang in the balance and we have to tip the scales to the right side; God’s side. Far too long we have sat back and watched the enemy take territories, and all we have done is shake our heads and talk about how bad things are getting. Today is the day of salvation. Today is also the day we take our stand. It is time to go to battle.

2 Cor 10:4-5 (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) 5 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;

Weapons of our warfare are not carnal or physical because our battle is not carnal. Our battle is spiritual. But what happens in the Spirit realm manifests in the physical realm. People don’t show signs of sin in their lives until the enemy has placed sinful desires in their spirit. If they don’t take control and ask God to cleanse and remove the sinful lusts they will manifest in their lives.

Our weapons through God can pull down the strong holds of the enemy. Every thought that goes through our minds needs to be measured against the word of God. The battlefield is our minds. The enemy will tell us lies to see if we will believe them. Accepting those lies as truth is the beginning of our downfall. That is how the enemy gets a foothold.

James 1:15 Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.

The body of Christ needs to be restored to shine God’s glory into the darkeness. It is time the church became like Nehemiah. He was trying to restore Jerusalem. The people had a mind to work. They would work with their weapons within reach. One place said they had a tool in one hand and a sword in another. We are fortunate because our tool and our weapon is the same, THE BIBLE. We can study it and learn it. Using it as a tool to further our understanding of God and his plans. But we can also take that powerful weapon and use it to defend against the attacks of the enemy. When he tries to whisper lies, we can combat those lies with the word of God. But that can only happen if we have studied it and know the Word.

The Bible is not the only way we fight our battles. Worship is our weapon too. The enemy hates it when we sing praises to God. The church sometimes forgets what worship is; it is singing praises to God and so much more. Worship takes the focus off of us and puts the focus on him. Worship means getting lost in his presence, when everything around you fades away and it is just you and Jesus.

Prayer is another weapon. We fight our battles on our knees. God will answer when we pray. Prayer is our God connection. It is our communication system that helps us to hear from God. He has promised to fight our battles. But we have to praise and pray for him to lead us where we need to go.

Matt 7:7 Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:

His word says he will open things up to us if we pray. Prayer helps us to boldly approach the throne. The significance of prayer is to help guide us and to reassure us that he is there. He is big enough to handle our biggest problems.

James 5:16 Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.

The effectual fervent prayer means passionate, not yielding or intense prayer will go a long way in getting God to answer.

Tomorrow we will discuss this subject further.

GOD FOCUS THIS MORNING EP430 BRACE FOR IMPACT

CLICK HERE FOR VIDEO VERSION: https://rumble.com/v70bawe-god-focus-this-morning-ep430-brace-for-impact.html

WELCOME TO GOD FOCUS THIS MORNING

THE TITLE FOR TODAY’S EPISODE: BRACE FOR IMPACT

We are living in intense times. The enemy is working overtime to destroy the body of Christ. He knows he is about to lose his foothold. Every day, he is roaming around trying to cause division and trouble. He is doing all he can through his people to destroy God’s people. Things look dark and may look darker before the light shines brightly. Look at Egypt, their darkness was so thick that they could not even get out of bed. But in Goshen where God’s people dwelled there was light. God will never leave us groping in the dark to find our path. He is the light of the world and he lives within us. We will always have light, even in the darkest world.

We have brace ourselves and make 100% sure our foundation is strong. If our feet are planted on a solid foundation, it doesn’t matter how much the enemy roars. We will be left standing strong when the enemy has given up.

The phrase brace for impact often is used when there is about to be a crash. It means get yourself in a position of protection. It is used on airplanes when they are about to crash. It means that people make sure they are buckled in and they bend down, using their arms to cover and protect their head. It is more broadly used in our society to mean get ready to ride out a difficult situation.

When one braces for an actual impact bracing will reduce injuries from a second impact. Like being belted in a seat will keep you from being tossed about, holding your arms over your head keeps them from flailing about and getting injured.

When we brace for impact, it could mean that we are preparing to deal with an attack from our enemy. We can be prepared by praying more and asking God to reveal what we need to know to face each day.

The enemy is seeking for anyone he can destroy. We have to make sure we are in a position of protection. Are we in communication with the one the can keep us safe from all the attacks of our enemy.

1 Pet 5:8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:

Just because Peter used the analogy of a lion doesn’t mean we should be afraid of the enemy. He was speaking on some of the other attributes of a lion, like how they quietly sneak up on their prey. They will wait quietly for just the right moment to pounce. We have to be wise and know that the enemy is working hard to get us in a weak position. This is why he sometimes attacks on multiple levels.

But there is hope. Our God will fight our battles.

Ex 14:14 The Lord shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace.

We cannot allow ourselves to be overtaken by the enemy. We have to put on the whole armor of God and stand. It is time that we double down on prayer and seek God even more than ever before, He will protect us from the enemy.

We must overcome evil with good. Negative emotions or actions can cause us to want to lash out at people. Retaliating against the people when the enemy is at fault is the wrong thing to do. Look at Jesus and what all they did to him and he said, Father forgive them they do know what they are doing. That was because Jesus understood that they were being driven by our enemy satan.

Romans 12:21 Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.

By putting on our whole armor and preparing to stand against the enemy is our way of bracing for impact in the spiritual realm.

GOD FOCUS THIS MORNING EP428 STANDING ON THE WORD

CLICK HERE FOR VIDEO VERSION: https://rumble.com/v708bos-god-focus-this-morning-ep428-standing-on-the-word.html

WELCOME TO GOD FOCUS THIS MORNING

THE TITLE FOR TODAY’S EPISODE: STAND ON THE WORD

How often does something come into our lives that shakes us? The enemy will often send adversities to trip us up. If he can’t stop us, he will do all he can to slow us down and get us to become self-centered. We will start to be concern about our situations or how we are feeling physically as he attacks us with sickness.

We can have hope in Jesus. Looking to him will give us the strength we need to stand on his promises. We have to use the word for our foundation. We have to stand on the promises in the Bible.

If our issues is financial, he is our provider.

Phil 4:19-20 But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus. 20 Now unto God and our Father be glory for ever and ever. Amen.

If the enemy comes to tell you that you are depressed and that you are losing your mind. If we are not careful we will fall into this trap and start speaking that we are going crazy. This is a lie from the pit.

2 Tim 1:7 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.

If we have accepted depression, suicidal thoughts will soon follow, because the enemy will drag you so far down that you feel there is no way out. But that too is a lie of the enemy. God has a plan for our lives and it is not to be stuck in depression.

John 10:10 The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.

Jesus died so that we would not have to fight our battles alone. Everyone in life will have battles. If we are just or unjust, however, the enemy will try to magnify the issues of the just. We just have to be strong in the Lord and the power of his might and resist the enemy. Tell him we are not going to believe his lies.

We all have things come up when our bodies get out of alignment with the way they were designed to operate. When this happens, we must speak the word of God over our bodies, we must come into alignment with what the word says about our condition.

Is 53:3-5 He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not. 4 Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. 5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.

He bore our sins, our sickness and our pain in his own body. His sacrifice was to give us an abundant life. Are we going to align our thinking with the word of God or the lies of the enemy?

Now is the time for us to come together and fight the lies of the enemy. The truth needs to be known. God is a God of love and truth. He never made a promise that he will not keep.

I want to leave you with one final scripture today to uplift and encourage you.

Isaiah 40:28-31 Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the Lord, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? there is no searching of his understanding. 29 He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength. 30 Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall: 31 But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.

As children of the MOST HIGH GOD, we just have to keep trusting and waiting upon the Lord he will renew our strength. We may sometimes feel like we wait and wait and nothing happens. But actually, he is giving us strength minute by minute, just to keep holding on until whatever we are praying for comes to pass.

Be encouraged, God is on our side, He will never leave us to fight our battles alone.

Until next time,

GOD FOCUS THIS MORNING EP425 TOO MANY HYPOCRITES

CLICK HERE FOR VIDEO VERSION: https://rumble.com/v700hxm-god-focus-this-morning-ep425-too-many-hypocrites.html

WELCOME TO GOD FOCUS THIS MORNING

THE TITLE FOR TODAY’S EPISODE: TOO MANY HYPOCRITES

When you ask some people to attend church with you, they use the excuse there are too many hypocrites. They look at all the people that are not fully sold out to the cause of Christ. These people may be in the building, but are not necessarily in the body of Christ. But we cannot allow others to stand in the way of the lost. The enemy will send people to church to cause confusion and hurt feelings.

I Cor 14:3 For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.

If there is confusion it is because the enemy is trying to divide people. We need to point out to the lost that people are who they are and will do what they choose. Some are painfully in the way of the lost coming in, because they feel they need to judge. They have a Jezebel spirit. They want to control everything about the church. They are good at the lip service but are not in it with their heart. God doesn’t want these people as they are, because God doesn’t want fake worship. He wants true worship and not lip service. But God is patient and can sometimes turn the legalistic and religious into an actual believer.

Matt 15:8 This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me.

That is what God says about those who only give him lip service and stand in the way of others. We need to try to get the lost past the fake people. Make them understand that even though they appear to be getting away with things, ultimately, they will meet their end. We will be rewarded for our choices good or bad.

Romans 14:12 So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God.

This is a point we must get across to others. That just because Bertha better than you attends service every time the doors open, doesn’t mean she is on her way to heaven. She tries to make herself feel better by judging others. Instead of her working on her own self and figure out how to be sold out to Christ, she chooses to walk in judgment of others.

We have to love everyone, even the hypocrites. Who knows if we can share enough of God’s love with them, maybe they will find a way to be sold out to Christ. Then we will have won another to Christ.

These people will either wake up and change or they will go somewhere else. When they see they are not causing the division they want to cause, they will leave or let God change them.

When we attend worship, we need to forget anyone else is around us and just praise the Lord with our whole heart. Everything else will work itself out.

Until next time,

GOD FOCUS THIS MORNING EP424 I DO NOT NEED A SAVIOR

CLICK HERE FOR VIDEO VERISION: https://rumble.com/v6zyxny-god-focus-this-morning-ep424-i-do-not-need-a-savior.html

WELCOME TO GOD FOCUS THIS MORNING

THE TITLE FOR TODAY’S EPISODE: I DON’T NEED A SAVIOR

In our world there are people that are blinded by the enemy. They actually believe in their self-sufficiency and feel like they don’t need a savior. They will say, “I am a good person.” I have to ask, good by who’s standards. The word of God says that we all have sinned and fallen short.

How do we get through to those who are satisfied with their life of sin? Let us look at a few verses.

Many times, when we try to witness to this type of person, they will say that they are not condemned of their sin. As Christians we feel conviction by the Holy Ghost when we step out of line. Sinners do not have that tugging of the Spirit to make them want to step into line. But God’s Spirit will draw them to him. They must be willing to yield.

John 3:17-20 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.

When they say they are not condemned, they mean that the enemy has them blinded to the fact that they are lost. They are blinded to the fact that they need God.

John 3:36 He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.

We need to point out that God’s wrath will abide on the unbeliever. They will not see everlasting life. The gift of God is eternal life. We cannot receive his gift if we are not willing to give up the old ways of doing things.

Society has told people that God is Love and he will not let anyone perish because of that Love. They completely miss the fact that God gives us free will. He will not override that will, we have to choose him.

Matt 22:13 Then said the king to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and take him away, and cast him into outer darkness, there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

This verse explains what happens when someone resist God’s invitation. That doesn’t mean that God is not loving. It means he loves people enough to give them their choice. If they choose to not follow Christ, they automatically default to being a follower of satan.

2 Pet 2:4-6 For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment; 5 And spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth person, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly; 6 And turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrha into ashes condemned them with an overthrow, making them an ensample unto those that after should live ungodly;

We need to share our own experience. We need to tell them how God has changed our lives. Sometimes it takes someone hitting their rock bottom before they will listen. We just have to show them love and pray for them to hear the whisper of God. Hopefully, they will come to the realization that they do very much need a savior.

GOD FOCUS THIS MORNING EP423 GOD’S DESIRES

CLICK HERE FOR THE VIDEO VERSION: https://rumble.com/v6zxpyy-god-focus-this-morning-ep423-gods-desires.html

WELCOME TO GOD FOCUS THIS MORNING

THE TITLE FOR TODAY’S EPISODE: GOD’S DESIRES

Human beings have an overwhelming desire and thirst for knowledge. History has judged Eve too harshly. She made a bad choice and trusted the wrong voice. If we are honest, I don’t believe one of us could say that we haven’t been taken in by someone who was manipulative.

But I want to discuss with you today the garden itself. God gave them everything they needed. There was peace in the garden. It was a place that God came down and talked to Adam and Eve. He desired people to commune with and he wanted to be their God.

When given a chance to be thankful for what God had done for them, they were disobedient. It should not have mattered the amount of knowledge that the tree would give them if their friend asked them to not eat of that tree. Even the threat of death didn’t stop them from seeking knowlege.

Adam can blame Eve all he wants, but he knew they were being disobedient. That is why God kicked them both out of the garden. That didn’t stop God’s desire to communicate with mankind.

He made a better way. He sent Jesus to die for our sins, so that his spirit could dwell within us and commune with us. God is still wanting someone to talk with, just as he came down to the garden and talked with Adam and Eve, he wants to talk to us.

Prayer time should not just be a quick thank you for what you have done, here is my wish list, thank you, Amem. Prayer time should be us quietly worshipping until he speaks to us. Now more than ever before we need to know his voice. We need to not be deceived by the sneeky snake.

Just as Adam and Eve got kicked out of the place God created, many church leaders have listened to the enemy and have eaten the forbidden fruit. These evil pastors have large followings, because they give people a feel good fifteen minutes. He never tells them to choose life and not death. The best way to know if what is being preached at your church is God’s truth, is to know the word for yourself and ask God himself for direction.

John 16:13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.

God gave the church his spirit, not just so that we could witness, as some say. But he gave us his Spirit so that we can be connected to God. He didn’t fill us with His Spirit just so we could speak in tongues and rejoice, but so that we could be empowered by God to do his will. So that we could be led by His Spirit. If we will listen to the leading of the Holy Ghost we will not be misled by the snakes of this world.

The Holy Ghost is not given to us so that we can become self-righteous and judgmental. He came so that we could have a connection to God. One that will lead us to fulfillment. God’s desire is to have a relationship with us. His Spirit will show us things to come. If we take the time to sit quietly and wait up on him to speak to us through that still small voice.

God desires for us to worship him in Spirit and Truth. He doesn’t want us going through the motions. He wants us to be led by His Spirit and not our will.

GOD FOCUS THIS MORNING EP421 PREVENTION

CLICK HERE FOR VIDEO VERSION: https://rumble.com/v6zp5ng-god-focus-this-morning-ep421-prevention.html

WELCOME TO GOD FOCUS THIS MORNING, THE TITLE OF TODAY’S EPISODE: PREVENTION

There is an old saying that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Which means we have to take action now and not put things off because they will always get bigger. Sometimes we have to press through a little bit of pain or being uncomfortable to prevent something worse.

Prov 4:23 Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.

For example, someone who has knee replacement surgery. There is a long process of recovery. Physical therapy is painful and it is hard to push through, I am told. But I know a woman that refused to do her therapy and she cannot bend her leg. That in it’s self-causes a lot of issues she would not have to deal with if she had simply pushed through the pain of therapy.

The enemy comes along and causes issues. He starts to build strongholds. We can either fight to break the stronghold or our future self will suffer the consequences. Future generations of our lineage will have to deal with the same issue. It is called a generational curse and many people have had to fight things that their parents and grandparents refused to conquer. For example, alcoholism.

The enemy will always try to get us bound up in things that keep us distracted from growing in Christ. We cannot run this race until we can walk. In order to walk we may have to do some spiritual therapy. We may have to do some stretching and strengthening of our spiritual muscles.

Do not allow the enemy to trip you up. Prevent the stumbling blocks of the enemy from becoming strongholds. He is determined to bind us up. We have to be just as diligent and determined to not let him get the upper hand. We have to fight that good fight of faith and stand strong. Allowing God to keep our feet on the right path.

Stumbling is all a part of the therapy; we may even fall down. There is no shame in stumbling, we are human. But we have to make a course correction and stay diligent about our course.

Being vigilant about our faith walk will prevent the enemy from getting a strong hold.

Until next time,

WELCOME TO GOD FOCUS THIS MORNING

THE TITLE FOR TODAY’S EPISODE: IN CHRIST

There is not a rock bottom too low for Christ to reach us as sinners. But we have to reach up and take his hand when he offers to lift us out of our pit of sin sickness and despair. When we place our trust in him, he gives us so very much. Salvation, peace, joy and power to endure what faces us each day.

We are to boast in the cross by telling others what the cross means. It is not just a symbol to be worn as jewelry or put on our cars. The cross is the symbol of our freedom and hope. It is the power of God to redeem us from a broken world.

I Cor. 1:8 For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.

To the lost they think it is a bunch of nonsense. But to us who are saved it is the symbol of what Jesus did to buy our souls from hell. It is so much more than the world could ever imagine. It is only by his grace and mercy that we can be redeemed. Only with the blood of his body, can we be set free.

Phil 3:7-8 But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ. 8 Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ,

Paul was saying, anything we could do, be or gain in this life on our own is worthless, compared to what we gain by becoming children of God. The knowledge of knowing Jesus Christ as Lord is priceless.

We should not seek to be known, except as a disciple of Jesus Christ. We can place our full trust in Him. Because he only wants what is best for us. When people see us triumph over our fiery trials, let it be said that we walk well and that our source of overcoming power is Jesus. That we are a good example of Christ living within us.

People need to see us walking in victory, even in the middle of our worst nightmares. They need to see that we believe that there is power in the blood. The world needs to see in us an unshakeable faith that no matter what happens, we are in Christ.

Thanks for watching,

GOD FOCUS THIS MORNING –EP314–NO STONE UNTURNED

CLICK HERE FOR VIDEO VERSION: https://rumble.com/v6zfk5e-god-focus-this-morning-ep417-no-stone-unturned.html

WELCOME TO GOD FOCUS THIS MORNING

THE TITLE FOR TODAY’S EPISODE: NO STONE UNTURNED

The phrase “Leave no stone unturned,” has an origin in Greek culture. The legend says that a general was told to turn over every stone to find a treasure. This is a symbol of truly seeking to find something. It is about being meticulous.

We are supposed to dig into the word of God to find the treasures. This phrase could be no verse unturned. We need to approach the word of God as a treasure and a puzzle to be solved. There are many deep treasures about God and his character hidden in his word. It is not hidden in a spot that is unattainable. But we have to search and pray for enlightenment.

2 Cor 4:3-6 But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: 4 In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them. 5 For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus’ sake. 6 For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.

If we are searching for something we have lost, we will get down on the floor and look under the furniture. We will open every door, drawer and closet. We will look behind and underneath things. We should be this way with the word of God. Ever learning and searching for deeper meaning in the word. We must focus our attention to detail so we don’t overlook anything.

Jeremiah 29:13 And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart.

Leaving no scripture unturned means that we diligently study the scriptures. We search with all our heart. Not a part, not half-heartedly, going through the motions. But fully engaged with digging out the treasures hidden in his word. Learning new things about our God is a great treasure.

Finding new nuggets of wisdom will fill the hunger we have for the deep things of God.

Until next time,

BE BOLD, BE BRAVE AND KEEP YOUR GOD FOCUS
