No One In The World Is Good

No one in the world is good.

Making such a statement does not imply that one is bitter or jaded. It simply means that the only good thing that exists does not dwell in this physical world but rather in the spirit world.

He is a spirit, and his name is God.

He is an omniscient, omnipotent, and omnipresent being that can be challenged by none other. He is a loving God that has no limitations. In fact, God's goodness is more than t

he mind can understand and is only limited by one's capacity to receive.

God is not a Greek mythical creature that is out-dated and out-of-touch. He loves everyone very much and calls everyone his friend and heir.

God wants to bless everyone in all aspects of a life, just as He has so powerfully blessed my family.

My father has always been a very healthy individual who never had a need for a doctor. However, when he began to experience symptoms of immense bleeding, he took one of his first trips to the emergency room. The doctors diagnosed him with an incurable, fatal disease. Its name was terminal colon cancer. My family went to war not with the vicious illness that has taken an innumerable number of lives; but rather, we fought Satan.

Ephesians 6:12 states, "For we wrestle not against flesh an

d blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places."

We did precisely this. However, we did not fight alone. We had the most powerful spiritual warfare weapon that a Christian has at his disposal-God's goodness. God was good throughout the entire experience. When my father was diagnosed, God was good. We all had more peace in our lives than ever before. When my father underwent chemotherapy treatment, he did not experience one negative side-affect that so often plagues this form of treatment. When my father was healed, God was good. He healed my father of that wicked illness, leaving the medical staff at the hospital befuddled. We grew spiritually to a point that we h

ad not previously been.

What Satan meant for bad, God made good.

God provides mental growth and restoration for everyone that receives it.

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

So many people live miserable lives filled with fear and depression. When this verse uses the word "us", it is referring simply to those that are believers in God.

Bipolar disease, schizophrenia, and depression are not in the vocabulary of Christians unless it involves a testimony. We are freed from such entrapments by the goodness of God. People are also gifted with supreme cognitive abilities if they simply believe in God's promise.

This verse also entirely extinguishes fear of anything, anything at all. This includes but is never limited to the fear of heights, dark, rejection, failure, or anything that is not in God's kingdom.

Most of all, God loves you.

This is the single best thing that could ever be done for humanity. He sent His Son, Jesus Christ, to die for everyone's sins.

Now, if one accepts Jesus into his heart, that person may enjoy all the benefits of God's kingdom.

Trade your carnal life for eternal life and the citizenship of the kingdom of pain and darkness for the Kingdom of life and love.

This is a simple decision that Romans 10:9-10 explains very clearly by stating, "That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation."

God loves you and wants you to be part of His kingdom.

Fruit

Fruit Your Deeds Actions Are They Rotten or Good?

Fruit – what is it?

Are you thinking apple, orange, blueberries or watermelon? Those are yummy but when God speaks of fruit in John 15:2 and Matthew 12:33, this is not the ‘fruit’ He is talking about.

He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit he prunes so that it will be even more fruitful.

John 15:2

The fruit He is talking about is a deed, action, result, or profit.

In the Strong’s it’s #2590 - everything done in true partnership with Christ, i.e. a believer (a branch) lives in union with Christ (the Vine). By definition, fruit (2590 /karpós) results from two life-streams – the Lord living His life through ours – to yield what is eternal

So our ‘fruit’ will be what we are doing, how we are speaking, how we are treating people; what our actions are, are we lazy, do we keep our word when we say we will do something? What is the result of our actions? Do we profit, does the Kingdom of God profit?

It says He prunes the branches that bear fruit.

Prune in the Strong’s #2508 - make clean by purging (removing undesirable elements); hence, "pruned (purged)"; eliminating what is fruitless by purifying.

I’m not sure about you but when I’m getting ‘pruned’ sometimes I let out a yelp! There are times I know I need to let go of a relationship because it draws me away from God or I need to stop watching a certain program because it causes wrong emotions to rise up in me and that affects the relationships in my home.

Sometimes He prunes me because I’m speaking negative things to myself and believing the lies rather than the truth of who God says I am and the power I have to change because ‘the same Spirit that raised Christ from the dead dwells in me’. WOW I want to understand that more. I ask for wisdom on this one verse Lord. That’s power!

The ‘more fruitful’ is awesome too, it is greater, of higher value.

So as I (we) are pruned, we repent and let go of the bad fruit and begin to see increase. This increase can come in the form of better relationships, finances, health, peace and faith.

When God begins to prune the bad fruit of laziness and over eating, it doesn’t feel comfortable at first and it does take some work to move forward. But as you begin to give it over to God, rely on Him knowing you can do all things through Christ who strengthens you and then you begin to see the positive results – you begin to desire those pruning’s! You can even see an increase in your finances because you are not eating out as much or buying all those cookies and cakes you thought you couldn’t live without.

Then in Matthew 12:33 I looked up ‘good’

"Make a tree good and its fruit will be good, or make a tree bad and its and its fruit will be bad, for a tree is recognized by its fruit.

Good - Definition: beautiful, as an outward sign of the inward good, noble, honorable character; good, worthy, honorable, noble, and seen to be so.

In Strong’s - 2570 – attractively good; good that inspires (motivates) others to embrace what is lovely (beautiful, praiseworthy); i.e. well done so as to be winsome (appealing).

Don’t you want to be ‘good’, one that inspires, one that embraces what is lovely and praiseworthy? Don’t you want a person to know you as one that has honorable character? I sure do.

Now when I looked up ‘bad’ --

Definition: rotten, useless, corrupt, depraved.

In Strong’s - 4550 – properly, rotten (putrid), over-ripe; (figuratively) over-done (ripened); hence, corrupt. --, expresses what is of poor quality, unfit for use, putrid"– "of poor or bad quality"

Do you (do I) express what is of poor quality?

I looked up ‘poor quality’ in the dictionary (The Free Dictionary on-line) and it said - Not adequate in quality; inferior Lacking in value; insufficient.

I know if this is where I am at it's because I’ve started believing/living a lie. God tells me in His word that I have value, I am not useless! Satan wants me to have this ‘bad’ fruit so I’m too ‘self-centered’ to be ‘others-centered’. The evil one knows if he can keep me in the poor me or even in the pride arena, I will have rotten fruit because I’m stuck in the ‘me, me, me, it’s all about me’ syndrome. Anything I do will not be in excellence, it will begin to stink because it doesn’t inspire anyone. Living the way God tells me (us) to live is the good fruit, fruit that inspires and motivates and blesses!

Now on to ‘is known’ (is recognized).

Definition: I am taking in knowledge, come to know, realized.

1097 ginṓskō – properly, to know, especially through personal experience (first-hand acquaintance).

You will be known by your fruit, there is no way around it. As people begin to know you, especially outside the Sunday sermon, will they be intrigued by your good fruit or repulsed by the rotten, bad fruit?

Remember your fruit will show through in the way you treat your spouse, your children, people you work with, the way you handle a frustrating cashier, etc. Are you the loudest AMEN on Sunday and then Sunday night or Monday morning you are belittling and controlling your spouse? Or maybe talking about someone because they are not on the same faith level you are? Do you gossip or whine? I could go on and on but I think you get the picture. I know I do and just in writing this I have had a conviction and have repented – ouch got pruned again, but thank You Lord because I know the good that will come from it. Good in my life and in the life of others, because You are Light in me for all to see!

If any of this has spoken to you and you need to repent and turn away from the bad fruit – do it now. So with eyes opened or closed, you’re your hand folded or lifted up to the Lord; however you are called to do it – cry out to God now, tell Him you know you have fallen short in this area and you are sorry. Ask Him to forgive you, He will. Then ask Him to give you the strength to change whatever it is, as you read His word He may give you Scriptures He wants you to dwell on so they become alive in you and give you what you need to change your bad fruit to a good fruit.

May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all. 2 Corinthians 13:14

Holy Ghost Junior? Me?

Have you ever tried to play Holy Ghost junior? You may not have even realized it.

That happened to me today and the Lord opened my eyes to it. I thought "Wow!" and that famous Steve Eurkle line popped into my head, "Did I do that??"

Sometimes we see things in people that we think needs changing (and it may) and it may irk us because we see it more clearly than they do. We may get irritated because we think they should see it the way we do and Right Now! So we start coming up with ways to help them along. We say things hoping they will take the cue and get a clue. When that doesn't work, we try something different.

Have you ever noticed that when we do that...it makes them defensive and angry?

Here is what the Lord spoke to me about this..."It's not your place, so it's not going to work". OUCH!!! I had to repent.

See, we think we know better than God on how to deal with people and situations. Do you know why? Because we neglect to seek His face on the situation before we open our mouths and tell the other person to do this or that or go here or there.

That is why they cannot receive it from us and it causes strife or bad decisions.

You have not spoken under the anointing or grace that only God can lead you by.

If you see that you have operated in your flesh in what you have told people, whether it is your husband, your children, your friends or whomever, then be quick to repent and take it to the Lord and if He says to do nothing...do nothing! He may have someone else He has been trying to use and you have just been getting in the way.

I praise God that He pointed this out to me!! Now you make a decision to receive correction and rejoice!!

He has just taken you higher!! Nehemiah 8:8-10

The Power of Praying for Your Adult Children

If you are in the Indianapolis, Indiana or surrounding areas, please mark your calendars for this awesome study on praying for your adult children.

'The Power of Praying for Your Adult Children" by Stormie Omartian

The following is a report on the practical applications of Stormie Omartian's new book, The Power of Praying for Your Adult Children (Harvest House, 2009).

You want to continue to support your adult children while still giving them the freedom to make their own choices. But where do you draw the line between helping them to build their own lives well and enabling them to remain dependent on you? And how do you deal with all of your many concerns about them – from their friendships and romantic partnerships, to their career pursuits and financial management?

We will begin this study on June 11th, Saturday, at 10:30am and meet every other week.

We will meet at LIFE Church and Training Center, 5895 E. Thompson Rd., Suite D, Indianapolis, IN 46237

Relationship Crisis Not Identity Crisis

I was asking the Lord about what you said about some people looking to me. Here is what the Lord showed me. The people that look to me (or anyone else) is because it is a relationship crisis not a identity crisis, not an I can't do it because I am not good enough crisis or she/he can do it because they are more spiritual.


The relationship crisis is the main reason people look to other people. The Bible says that Moses was the meekest man upon the whole earth. (Num. 12:3). You can teach people about who they are in Christ, which is good, however, if they fail to establish their hearts by spending time with the Lord they are toast. Look at the Old Testament example. How many people actually entered the rest (promised land) of the original group that came out of Egypt? Only two people Joshua and Caleb. Not very good stats. I agree with not drawing attention to one's self. I will make sure that God gets all the glory and I not draw attention to myself.


People that don't have a relationship with God. (They don't labor to enter into that rest) will ALWAYS look to me or someone else who they think is spiritual and can get answers from. Those people in the Old Testament wanted Moses to speak to them instead of God because they were lazy and fearful. (Not spending time with God births unbelief)


Heb. 4:11 says that we are to labour to enter into that rest. (Spend Time with God) otherwise you can fall after that same example of unbelief. Here is a relationship issue, not an identity issue. They looked to Moses or they will look to the Pastor or whomever they perceive as spiritual. I believe a Pastor can minimize how a person perceives him, by letting others minister and having a time to give glory to God. However, when 16 percent of professing believers actually read their Bible on a consistent basis, there is a real problem.


The MAIN way will be to encourage people to fellowship with the Father and Son. (1John 1:3). If everyone would do that they could all enter into the rest without looking to someone else and not fall after the same example of unbelief.
