Light And Darkness IS A Substance!

 

Matthew 6:22

“The lamp of the body is the eye. If therefore your eye is good, your whole body will be full of light. But if your eye is bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in you is darkness, how great is that darkness!

So Jesus was basically saying, your eyes can be like a flashlight, when you turn them on, they can light up the whole room you are in, the whole house you live in, or even your workplace! You can be the light in the midst of gross darkness, you can be that one shinning a great light, while all around you other souls are walking in darkness. 

If Christ is in you by the indwelling of the Spirit of God, then the Holy Spirit WILL cleanse and sanctify your whole body, from the top of your head, to the soles of your feet, and you can become completely holy! Which means that after the Spirit's work you can be like John the Baptist, or Jesus Himself! 

You can be holy if you desire holiness in your inmost being, if you live a daily life of discipleship and separation from everything in this world. And holiness means that your body, soul, and spirit has no evil, or darkness in them at all! The same way Jesus and John the Baptist were, when they walked this earth!

Jesus is saying that if you indulge your flesh in the things of this world, you will by nature, become full of darkness. If you watch ungodly movies, become addicted to pornography and the like, your eye's will become evil. Meaning whatever you watch that is evil has the ability to actually enter your body through your eyes! You are actually feeding your soul on the evil you are watching!

Even evil spirits that are in other people, like your boyfriend/girlfriend or spouse can also enter you! Remember satan is the prince of the power of the air, he is a spiritual being, and so are evil spirits, you can't see them, but they can enter you, if you have open doors, and fill your body with evil and darkness!

On the contrary, if you are full of light and God's substance, which is His grace, you can fill the atmosphere with God's presence! Remember that the body with the Spirit indwelling the soul is the Temple of God! So that wherever you are, there God is! There the church is!

So you can become like Christ, full of light, grace and the fruits of the Spirit, radiating and emanating God's presence every single day, and changing your house, your environment, your workplace, the church building you attend services at, and even the city you live in! And if enough Spirit filled Christians live or gather in one place, imagine the power of God that can be unleashed!

But if you are filled with the substance of satan, which is darkness and evil, then your life will be unprofitable for God, and you will not be able to do anything that's of value to the kingdom of Heaven, and ultimately you will lose your soul.

So do you want to be full of light or darkness? Another choice to be made!

In Jesus,

You Can't Beat God!

 Acts 5:38-39

"And now I say to you, keep away from these men and let them alone; for if this plan or this work is of men, it will come to nothing; but if it is of God, you cannot overthrow it—lest you even be found to fight against God.”

I think it's obvious when God is not truly doing a work through a man or woman, in a city or nation. Because when God truly makes a move there is supernatural power involved, there is chain breaking and bondage taking, divine power at the center of it.

When God does something it's big! It's not hidden, it's not men screaming and yelling, kicking or punching people, or pushing them down when you lay hands on their heads. When God is working, many times you never even have to come near a person, God does the work by His Spirit, His angels, and His grace. Supernatural spiritual work that the human eye cannot see!

I've read about or watched on Youtube many so-called revivals and outpourings of God, only to see them disappear after a few months or a year. After Jesus went back to Heaven and poured out His Spirit on His disciples and apostles on the day of Pentecost, the supernatural ministry works of the Apostles and Evangelists lasted at least twenty years or more! 

When God truly makes a move it shakes up the world and satan and his workers of evil quickly rise up to oppose it and do everything they can to discredit it. They did it in the first century when they persecuted the first Christians and put them to death by the sword, feeding them to the lions, beheading them and generally trying to make their lives as hard as possible.

The same thing happened at Azusa street in California when God used William Seymour in the midst of the worst segregation in America, during the time of Jim Crow laws. God poured out His Spirit and over the span of ten years, this revival shook up the world! The local newspapers called it a weird new sect with people speaking in a babel of tongues. William Seymour said, "With apostolic revival, comes apostolic persecution."

There will be another great outpouring of God's Spirit and I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that the world will hate Christians for the sake of Jesus and the truth of the gospel, but God will always oppose the proud and give His grace to the humble. When God does this work, it will not be stopped until the return of King Jesus! 

Who's side will you be fighting on? God's or satan's? We all know the outcome of this story, God wins!

In Jesus,

Tyrone

The Foolishness Of Preaching!

 

1st Corinthians 1:20-21

"Where is the wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the disputer of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? For since, in the wisdom of God, the world through wisdom did not know God, it pleased God through the foolishness of the message preached to save those who believe.

Preaching the good news of the Kingdom of God and warning people of the judgment to come is foolishness to so many! Especially the wise and learned of this world, like politicians, government officials, scientists, the rich, and CEO's. They think they have more important things to do than listen to a gospel message being preached about the Kingdom of God and the salvation of their souls. In actuality there isn't anything else more important in the world than hearing a message that can give you eternal life if you believe!

And that's the whole key to the gospel, it's believing the message that you hear and responding to it, with repentance, a change of heart and mind, and a change of your ungodly lifestyle. But so many just brush off the messenger, blank them out, turn their backs and walk away, or call them brainwashed or religious fanatics, Jesus freaks, hypocrites, crackpots, etc...

Jesus said Himself, blessed is the one who hears these words of mine and DOES THEM! You have to respond to the message in order to receive the benefits and blessings of the promises of God! Otherwise the message will be just words on a page or words out of the mouth of the messenger. It's so easy to just ignore the message and close your ears to the voice of God and not allow His word to enter your heart.

That's why God chose the foolishness of preaching to save those who believe. It seems very foolish to go out on a street corner and proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ to whoever will listen, but that's all we have isn't it? Words; to believe or not to believe, to accept the message or reject it, that's called free will, and God never forces anyone to believe the message, it has to be a choice made by each individual person.

It's like the Covid vaccination, you have a choice to take it or not, but then you have the government saying take it and protect yourself, your family, and those around you. But if you're a Christian, the scripture tells us that our bodies are the temple of God in which He dwells by His Spirit. So it's my choice what I put inside my body, not the government's choice, regardless of what anybody says about me or to me!

It will be the same with the mark of the beast, you will have a choice to take the mark and be a part of the world, buying and selling and remaining in the system of man, or not taking it and trusting God for your protection, provision, and salvation. The choice will be yours to make! And the scripture is crystal clear about what will happen to those who take it!

If you listen to the message preached by an anointed man of God, sent by God to proclaim His word, it will change your life, if you don't listen you will never change! Because there is no other way for a soul to be saved, healed, delivered, and transformed into the image of Christ unless they receive and believe the good news of the Kingdom of God! 

The Choice Is Yours!

In Jesus,

Tyrone

Do You Have A Carnal Mind? Or A Spiritual Mind?

 

Romans 8:5-9

"For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit. For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. Because the carnal mind is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, nor indeed can be. So then, those who are in the flesh cannot please God. But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. Now if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he is not His.

The truth cannot be sugar coated! It doesn't matter what you're told by a pastor, or whoever is overseeing a congregation of people. If you are in the flesh you CANNOT please God, and you will not submit to God, period! 

Oh you can deceive yourself and call yourself a Christian because you attend church services every Wednesday and Sunday, but I'm here to tell you, that if you have not been been baptized in water and the Holy Spirit, with the initial sign of speaking in other tongues then you are NOT a Christian! You are none of His!

The above image is totally accurate, if you are truly a Christian and you are feeding your carnal nature daily with the world by watching ungodly movies, T.V. shows, addicted to porn, sports, movie stars and entertainers you are in the flesh! Repent while there is still time! 

The more you feed your soul evil, the more evil and hard hearted you will become, the more you feed your soul on Jesus, the more like Jesus you will become! 

Colossians 3:1-7

"If then you were raised with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ is, sitting at the right hand of God. Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth. For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. When Christ who is our life appears, then you also will appear with Him in glory.

Therefore put to death your members which are on the earth: fornication, uncleanness, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry. Because of these things the wrath of God is coming upon the sons of disobedience, in which you yourselves once walked when you lived in them."

It's hard to let go of your life in the world, it's not easy to separate yourself from all that's in the world, but you can do it by the power of the Spirit of God! It's not easy to say no to friends and family members who want you to be a part of ungodly activities, but the Spirit helps us to say NO to the flesh, the world and the devil!

But the key to having a spiritual mind is to SET your mind on things above, heavenly things, through prayer, fasting, bible study, and seeking God's will, you can overcome the carnal nature and mind! God will give you a new spirit, He will wash your soul, and He will cleanse, heal, and strengthen your body. He will purge your conscious from all dead works so that you can serve Him and love Him with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength!

Is your mind carnal or spiritual? Be honest with yourself! Time is running out!

In Jesus,

Tyrone

You Can't Hide From God!

 

Jeremiah 17:10

"I, the Lord, search the heart, I test the mind, Even to give every man according to his ways, According to the fruit of his doings."

The Lord knows all, see's all, and nothing is hidden from His sight, even darkness is like light to God!

Psalm 139:11-12

If I say, “Surely the darkness shall fall on me,” Even the night shall be light about me; Indeed, the darkness shall not hide from You, But the night shines as the day; The darkness and the light are both alike to You.

Sin is deceptive, the more you commit, the harder you become and you think it's ok, everyone else is doing it, so why can't I?

But you will certainly reap what you sow!

Galatians 6:7-8

"Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap. For he who sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption, but he who sows to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap everlasting life."

When Jesus returns people will cry out to the rocks and mountains to fall on them and save them from the wrath of the Lamb.

Revelation 6:14-17

"Then the sky receded as a scroll when it is rolled up, and every mountain and island was moved out of its place. And the kings of the earth, the great men, the rich men, the commanders, the mighty men, every slave and every free man, hid themselves in the caves and in the rocks of the mountains, and said to the mountains and rocks, “Fall on us and hide us from the face of Him who sits on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb! For the great day of His wrath has come, and who is able to stand?”

Jesus is now a Spirit being, with a glorified body, and if He could just appear in a locked room to His disciples after His resurrection from the dead, He can most certainly enter a deep underground bunker that men have built to save themselves from a nuclear war or an asteroid hitting the earth. And so can His angels!

There is no place that a man can go where God does not see!

In Jesus,

Tyrone

What Is the Root Problem Of Human Beings?

 

Genesis 3:11-13

And He said, “Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten from the tree of which I commanded you that you should not eat?” Then the man said, “The woman whom You gave to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I ate.” And the Lord God said to the woman, “What is this you have done?” The woman said, “The serpent deceived me, and I ate.”

We all know this story very well, and from the beginning, to this day, the root problem of human beings remain. DISOBEDIENCE!

What is the first word most children learn when they are able to speak? NO! 

That should tell us something right there! And from our first words all through life we see the sin of disobedience in our lives and in the lives of our closest friends and family. And then when we have children of our own, they continue the cycle and we see ourselves in our children, doing the same things we did and becoming more disobedient than we were!

How can we stop being disobedient? The only way is JESUS!

Jesus is the only One who can deliver us from evil, forgive us of our sins, baptize us with the Holy Spirit, and walk with us as we go through the many stages of growth as a Christian.

Another clear example of what happens when we disobey is the story of King Saul in 1st Samuel. God sent His prophet Samuel to Saul and gave him direct commandments to perform, but Saul did not obey the word of the Lord. He did some of what God said, but not all, therefore God rejected Saul as King. We can't just do some of God's commands and leave some out and then think we are obeying, we must do everything God commands us!

1st Samuel 15:10-11, 17-23

"Now the word of the Lord came to Samuel, saying, “I greatly regret that I have set up Saul as king, for he has turned back from following Me, and has not performed My commandments.”

"So Samuel said, “When you were little in your own eyes, were you not head of the tribes of Israel? And did not the Lord anoint you king over Israel? Now the Lord sent you on a mission, and said, ‘Go, and utterly destroy the sinners, the Amalekites, and fight against them until they are consumed.’ Why then did you not obey the voice of the Lord? Why did you swoop down on the spoil, and do evil in the sight of the Lord?”

"And Saul said to Samuel, “But I have obeyed the voice of the Lord, and gone on the mission on which the Lord sent me, and brought back Agag king of Amalek; I have utterly destroyed the Amalekites. But the people took of the plunder, sheep and oxen, the best of the things which should have been utterly destroyed, to sacrifice to the Lord your God in Gilgal.”

"So Samuel said: “Has the Lord as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, As in obeying the voice of the Lord? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, And to heed than the fat of rams. For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, And stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. Because you have rejected the word of the Lord, He also has rejected you from being king.”

Saul contradicted himself as he spoke, saying he obeyed the voice of the Lord, BUT, he brought back Agag and allowed his soldiers to bring back the best sheep and oxen to sacrifice to the Lord. He disobeyed the direct commandments of God and he paid the consequences of it!

Isn't it better to obey ALL the Lord says?

The choice is yours!

In Jesus,

Tyrone

The Choice Is Yours!

 

2nd Corinthians 5:9-10

"Therefore we make it our aim, whether present or absent, to be well pleasing to Him. For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive the things done in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad."

The scripture tells us we must ALL appear before the judgement seat of Christ! Every single soul that has lived or will live WILL BE JUDGED! You can't run from it, you can't hide from it, you will have to face the KING, whether you are a Christian or not, regardless of your beliefs, you will have to give an account of your life on this earth.

This is why God made man with free will, you can choose to do wrong or right, you can choose to obey His word or not, but in the end when your immortal soul leaves your fleshly body, you will cross over into the spirit realm, and where you go from there will be according to the choices you made while your soul inhabited skin and bones, and breathed air everyday. 

The word of God tells us that it's not God's will that ANY should perish, but that ALL come to repentance (changing of your mind)  that their soul may be saved! But again the choice is yours!

2nd Peter 3:9

"The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance."

It's so sad that many today don't care what happens to them, because they are so depressed, broken, poor, or sick. But then on the other hand, you have the wealthy who trust in their riches and their intellect or their status, but don't realize they need Jesus just as much as the homeless man or woman living in a cardboard box!

The word of God tells us that the rich and the poor will be judged, the small and the great will stand before the throne of God! 

Revelation 20:13

"Then I saw a great white throne and Him who sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away. And there was found no place for them. And I saw the dead, small and great, standing before God, and books were opened. And another book was opened, which is the Book of Life. And the dead were judged according to their works, by the things which were written in the books. The sea gave up the dead who were in it, and Death and Hades delivered up the dead who were in them. And they were judged, each one according to his works. Then Death and Hades were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. And anyone not found written in the Book of Life was cast into the lake of fire."

You must understand that God supernaturally preserved His word so that we would know His laws and commandments, so that we would choose to do what is pleasing in His sight, what is good and right. Make no mistake, there will be no escape from the day of judgement, and EACH ONE will be judged according to his works! What you do with your time, your money, your mind, and your body, while you are upon the face of this earth, because after you take your last breath and your silver cord is loosed, there will be no coming back.

The choice is yours!

In Jesus,

Tyrone
