Where Is God Now Ministries

We often talk about God and His love. God is love(1 John 4:8). We often talk about God’s promises and blessings to His children. They are talked about and sprinkled throughout the Bible. Needless to say, for some, it is an incentive to serve Him.

As we grow in our relationship with God, we should be growing up and maturing. This begs the question, are you interested in God or what He can do for you? Dr. Charles Stanley with In Touch Ministries would often say God is not interested in our ease, comfort and pleasure. Therefore, God is more interested in our conforming and transforming into the likeness of His son, Jesus.

God is more interested in our character. He will use a mixture of blessings and pain to build our character. Apostle James said we should count it all JOY when we face trials, troubles, pain, as it tests our faith and helps us to endure (James 1:2-4). Nevertheless, this is not to say we should be happy in our infirmities. The JOY comes supernaturally, that God is molding and shaping you through the help of the Holy Spirit.

Our love for God should be that we want to please Him. Moreover, we should want to get to know who He is. We find this out best through His word, the Bible. Consequently, when things start happening in our life, in the world, etc., it is not strange. We should be able to recognize God’s hand in situations. We can base some of this on who He is.

God loves us so much that He gave His son to die for our sins (1 John 4:10). One of the mysteries of God is when He sees us, He sees His son, Jesus. That is why Jesus is our EVERYTHING! He provided the pathway to have an intimate relationship with God directly. In turn, God will allow selfishness in us to be chiseled away in our life to become more like Jesus.

In our maturity with our relationship with God, we become more interested in Him. We start to realize our relationship is not based on what He can do for us. Further, because we become fully committed in the relationship, the blessings, favor, seem to follow us. When troubles come, it does not shake us. We realize God is doing a work in us. Furthermore, we recognize His presence in our lives and welcome it. Amen. Love & Blessings!

Jesus was radical. There is a belief in the world that Jesus died to set us free. That is Truth. Jesus said the Truth will set you free! (John 8:32). Therefore, this Truth sets us free from the bondages of sin. However, Satan has put a twist on this in the world. Moreover, people believe they can freely sin because Jesus has set us free to do what we want. They believe that freedom gives them the choice to sin, if they choose. That is a deception of Satan

Jesus’ radical message to the world was the path to the kingdom is narrow (Mathew 7:13 -14, Luke 13:23 – 24). For this blows up Satan’s deception to have the freedom to willfully and knowingly sin. Then ask for God’s forgiveness to make it right. Further, Jesus radical thinking was if you love your mother, father, children more than me you have no place in the Kingdom (Mathew 10:37).

Works of the Flesh contradict the Fruit of the Spirit. Furthermore, Works of the Flesh is of Satan. Works of the Spirit is of God. Yes, we do have a choice. God does not force us to serve Him. We can easily ignore his direction and promptings to us. Both have consequences. Works of the Flesh leads to eternal damnation. Fruit of the Spirit leads to eternal life. We choose.

Galatians 5: 19 – 23 expounds on the Works of the Flesh. They are human, sinful actions such as hatred, immorality, discord, rage, etc., that invite wretchedness. Oftentimes, it is full of worldly pleasures, selfishness, pride, and lives far from God.

The Holy Spirit is our helper with the Fruit of the Spirit. It leads and guides us in the ways of God. The Works of the Flesh arise out of our pride. We think we know better than God. We become little gods unto ourselves. Contrary, it leads to our destruction and demise which is what Satan is all about (John 10:10).

None of us is perfect. We all sin. The difference with Works of the Flesh is practicing these sins in your life. Is it your lifestyle? It is how you operate and live your life. Undoubtedly, these things are not of God. Jesus said there is no place in the Kingdom for such living. Unfortunately, what is sad is Satan has deceived so many thinking the Works of the Flesh is a fine way to live as long as I ask for forgiveness. Asking for forgiveness and not practicing these behaviors are different. Radical Jesus says, if you LOVE me you will obey me (John 14:15). Practicing sin is not loving God. Amen. Love & Blessings!

1 Peter 4:12 is a wake up call to all Christians. Sometimes we forget fiery trials will come our way unexpectedly. This happened to me recently. I was trying to be accommodating in a situation where I paid for a project before it was completed. Because I wanted to support the company and believe the best, I trusted they would do the right thing.

Well, less than 24 hours later, Satan visited me in the spirit of an employee in the organization. It totally caught me off guard when you pick up your phone and the person on the other end is yelling and screaming at you, the customer.

I immediately recognized this was not from God. I said it out loud on the phone several times. Not only was the person yelling and screaming, they mocked my faith. You know that is from Satan when that happened. Then the person became accusatory. Another tactic of Satan.

My training as a police officer, crisis counselor, school administrator kicked in. I remained calm and asked to speak to the supervisor. That is when this person hung up the phone. I called the office and I got continued unprofessional behavior minus the yelling and screaming.

According to the Bible, our faith will be tested. If Jesus was sent into the wilderness by the Holy Spirit to be tested, you know we will be tested (Mathew 4:1, Luke 4:1, Mark 1:12). The Bible also says we will share in Jesus’ sufferings and His glory (Romans 8:17).

When we get tested and squeezed in life, for Christians, the Fruit of the Spirit should pop out of us (Galatians 5:22-23). In this situation peace, gentleness, and self control popped out of me! I could tell this person wanted me to engage them in an argument. I refused to participate. Instead, I remained calm and exercised self-control and peacefulness. I did all of this with the Holy Spirit’s help.

My flesh wanted to lash out. However, when the Spirit of the Living God makes His presence known, we can either ignore it or embrace it. I choose to embrace it because I know it is the BEST for me. Moreover, 1 Samuel 17:47 says the battle is not mine in situations like this… It belongs to God! So I give it to Him and let Him handle the situation. He will take care of it… Amen! Love & Blessings!

Our Christian faith is a journey. It is our journey with God on Earth. Jesus died so we may have that relationship with Father God. Further, He died so we can have an intimate relationship with the Father. For what Jesus has done, we have an abundant, victorious life on the Earth, if we choose to.

Jesus set us free from sin. When He left us, He said He would send the comforter, the Holy Spirit, who would lead and guide us in all truth. Therefore, it represents the character of Jesus. Moreover, this is where our abundant, victorious life is. We experience the Fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22 -23). We live in the Spirit because of what Jesus provided for us… It is a beautiful thing!

Now contrary to the Fruit of the Spirit is fruit of the flesh. Galatians 5:19 – 21 tells us about the fruit of the flesh. It is all about us. It is selfish and shallow. Destruction is its goal. Satan sends the many traps, pitfalls, and distractions to sink us. Ultimately, it kills, steals and destroys ( John: 10).

The question is, who is in charge of our life? What fruit is consistently manifesting in our lives? Who is our source? It is an indication of who is in charge. The Bible instructs Christians to crucify the flesh and to walk in the Spirit (Galatians 5:16 -25). Again, who is in charge? Love & Blessings!

Where Is God Now Ministries, Inc, is partnering with Chesapeake Redevelopment & Housing Authority to have a food drive for residents at MacDonald Manor. This food drive will help with our pop-up food pantry for MacDonald Manor on Friday, May 8.

People are having a tough time paying their rent. This is an indication that many of them are struggling with paying rent and keeping a roof over their heads, to putting food on the table, paying for medication and gas. Where Is God Now Ministries believe we can help ease some of the burden by bringing food to them. This will take some stress off of transportation of going to the store and making purchases for food.

We have at our disposal an industrial size refrigerator. That means we can collect refrigerated and nonperishable foods. So we can collect eggs, milk, fruits, vegetables as well as can goods, pasta, rice, can meats, cereals and more. Non-food items are being collected, too! Toilet tissue, paper towels, toothpaste, deodorant, and anything else needed to survive in a household.

Our collection dates for this food drive are Saturday, April 25 and Sunday April 26. Send me an email to come and pick up your items for one of these dates. Of course, if you want to drop your items off at my garage door you are welcome to do so.

The Bible says people in need will always be with us (Deuteronomy 15:11). This is a call for us to help and to be proactive in our efforts. WE are the hands, mouth and feet of Jesus on the Earth. We reflect Jesus through the Holy Spirit when we help others. It is humbling knowing that Jesus is working through us. Amen

Thank you for your continued love and support.

Jesus loved us so much that He gave His life on the cross. Undoubtedly, the sacrifice of ALL sacrifices. He paid it ALL. As He said on the cross, “It is finished.” (John 19:30). Then He died.

We are thankful and grateful for His sacrifice and His death. Today, He has risen! Just as He told His disciples repeatedly He would do. They did not understand it all at the time He was telling them. Explosively though, when they saw Him after his resurrection, their lives were never the same. Jesus became their Lord and Master.

After Jesus’ ascension into heaven, they dispersed all over the world to spread the gospel. They proclaimed Him as Lord and Master. They realized they were bought with the price of Jesus’ blood on the cross. Moreover, now that He is Master, they willingly followed His teachings and submitted to His authority. In the same way, we should be doing the same.

Jesus is Lord of lords. He is ruler over everything. This includes in heaven and on earth (Matthew 28:18). Jesus gives us access to our Father God. We have intimacy with Him because of what Jesus did on the cross. Further, we can have an abundant, victorious life on the Earth because of Jesus. He has given us eternal life! After ALL that Jesus has done for us, why would He not be our Lord and Master? Amen! Love & Blessings!

Matthew 26:39 tells us Jesus did not want to go to the cross. He asks for the bitter cup to pass. So, we see Jesus in His humanity. Yet, He sacrifices His life for us out of LOVE for our Father God and for US!

Lest not we forget ALL that Jesus did for US. Even so, when God asks us to do things we do not want to do we override what God is asking. Therefore, we do what we want to do. We say we love God and everything that Jesus did for us, but we do not want to sacrifice.

Sacrifice means the surrender of something we want. Love causes most of us to surrender and sacrifice what we want. If we find ourselves constantly resisting what God is asking us to do, it is representative of us having issues with sacrifice.

Satan often deceives us. He will have us look at the good things we do in our lives. Moreover, if those good things did not cost us something of value like time, money, patience, etc., sacrifice was not involved.

If we do good works out of convenience and it suits our needs and feeds our flesh, these are works that will burn. According to the Bible, they are shallow, worthless, and selfish (1 Corinthians 3:10-15). Sacrifice involves us allowing the Holy Spirit to lead us into doing the things God is asking us to do.

In this Easter season, let us remember the sacrifices Jesus made for us. When Jesus said, “Follow Me”, that means in everything including sacrifices we have to make. It is through Christ that we can make these sacrifices we do not want to do. It is surrendering our will to the will of God (Matthew 36:39). Amen. Love & Blessings!
