This Message is inspired by the Reading, “A Better Way” from the Book Overcoming Darkness.

Our Lives are full of challenges and questions that pertain to what is Right and What is Wrong (Right is Right). The Old Man continually attempts to impact our Judgement and Character. If we are not watching and Praying, our thoughts will focus on the cares of this World (Ephesians 4:22-24, Galatians 5:25, 1 Peter 2:1, Mark 4:19).

As we Overcome Darkness, Our Spiritual Eyes become Eyes that See and our Ears Become Ears that Hear (Hearers and Doers). The Holy Spirit provides clarity in all that we experience. We no longer are tossed to and fro by every wind and doctrine. The Holy Spirit brings forth Wisdom and Understanding. When we are Led by the Spirit we are at Peace. (Proverbs 20:12, Ephesians 4:14, Isaiah 11:12, Isaiah 26:3-4)

The Fruits of the Spirit are Love, Joy, Peace, Patience, Kindness, Goodness, Faithfulness, Gentleness and Self-Control. These Fruits become embedded in our Character. These Fruits command Satan to get behind us. These Fruits are our Full Armor. These Fruits are akin to the Tree Planted by the Water. These Fruits are Everlasting to Everlasting. (Galatians 5:22-23, Matthew 7:15-20, Matthew 16:23, Ephesians 6:11-13, Jeremiah 17:7-8, Psalm 90:1)

When we live by what our flesh desires, we submit to the flesh. When we live in accordance with what our Spirit desires, our Heart’s desire is for God’s Will to be done in “All” matters in Life. We are Firm and Fair. God has not given us a Spirit of Fear. The Peace that Surpasses All Understanding becomes the Beacon that Guides our Journey through this current evil dispensation. (Romans 8:5-6, 2 Timothy 1:7, Romans 8:28, Philippians 4:7)

We are Blessed to be a Chosen Generation called out of Darkness into God’s Marvelous Light. (Who We Are). We are Soldiers ushering the Kingdom of God into the Earth. We see the demise of Satan’s stronghold over the Earth, While Satan is traveling to and fro seeking whom he can devour, Satan bypasses our Territory.  He knows no weapons formed against us shall prosper. (1 John 1:6, 1 Peter 2:9-10, Psalm 145:10-13, Daniel 2:44, Mark 1:27, Isaiah 54:17)

The Holy Spirit always reveals to us what is Right in God’s Sight. We let God’s Spirit comfort us when we despair. The Holy Spirit uplifts us by leading us through the Scriptures so that we may be thoroughly furnished unto all good works. Our daily prayer is not my Will but God’s Will being done. God’s Plan is for us to prosper. (Colossians 3:9-10, 1 Peter 1:14, Matthew 6:9-10, Jeremiah 29:11)

When we are Led by the Spirit, Truth becomes the Light that brightens our Path. (Psalm 119:105, John 15:26)

Song for the Week: 

“A Better Way” Written and Performed by John Stuckey Jr featuring Ed “Sax” Thomas.

A BETTER WAY

If you can’t say something good

 Say nothing at all

We can make the world better 

With just a little smile

If you can’t make someone happy 

Don’t try to make them sad

If you see that someone is good

 Don’t try to make them look bad

If you can’t say thanks for 

All God has done for you 

Then reach into your mind

And find something good to do

If you can’t say hello 

Don’t turn the other way

Share some love and kindness 

In the words you choose to say
