GREENE STREET LETTERS: What Falls Under Everything?

What Falls Under Everything?

I hate sickness...
I hate cancer.....
I hate illnesses....
I hate demonic oppression...
I hate demonization....
I hate addiction.....
I hate suicide.....
I hate the kingdom of darkness and the dark powers that call this planet their home.

I am very tired this morning. Seems like the more we pray, the more we loose...
Notice I said, "It seems like".
That is not the truth. It is nothing more than a lie that the devil would like for me to believe. I don't!
The more we pray, the more we involve ourselves in the affairs of this world and in the lives of people, the more the Kingdom of God is extended.
The Kingdom of God....The rule and reign of God here on this earth, in this time and space.
Where ever people are living according to His rule in their lives...that is where the kingdom is.
I can't let myself get caught up in the temporary things of this life and miss the eternal things that God is wanting to teach me.

As I have gotten older and the people I love had died off one by one, I have to maintain the thought that everything and everyone is in His hands. He has not lost control over creation, and His plans have not been thwarted by the devil and his minions. Life is more of a battle than most think or realize. We truly have an enemy who wished to stop the promises of God from coming to our lives. So he attacks us physically (now this is not to say that all sickness and illness is a demonic attack). He attacks us emotionally, trying to steal our hope and faith by beating us down with situation after situation. Yet, God has called us to stand strong and be about the business of exercising the power and authority that each believer has been given.

Power and authority to pray against diseases.
Power and authority to pray and see people healed.
Power and authority to stand before God on behalf of those who can't stand for themselves.
Stand in the complete knowledge that everything and everyone is in the hands of God.

Praise God from whom all blessing flow....
Praise Him all creatures here below...
Praise Him above the heavenly hosts....
Praise Father, Son and Holy Ghost.....
Amen....

God on you....

Anonymous said...: I needed that this morning. Being woke up to bad news is never fun. Its so easy to get angry and mad. To start believing that prayer is a waste of time. God may never heal a single person that im praying for, and I don't know why. But this is what I do know, God speaks, God has spoke to me. God has shown me that he hears my prayers. God has shown me that he isn't going to give me everything I ask for, but the simple fact that he has shown me that he is listening is all I need. God listens to me! Yet im sure its a good thing that he doesn't always take my advice. I will praise him no matter what he does today! Thanks for letting me ramble.

Looking At The World Through Cracked Lens

As ol' Paul wrote in his Corinthian letters.."We see in part and we know in part." Now what piece of this bit of wisdom do we not get? I wish to not run around acting and trying to be some sort of Biblical G00-Ru (I meant to spell it wrong). Or a sage of sages.

I simply want to be able to communicate some of what God has given to me. Why? Do I think what I get is better than what you may have received from Him? Nope. But I do think encouragement comes when we share our daily story of struggle and victory in an effort to encourage each other.

Thanks for letting me share.

Time to soldier on..

Our Statement of Faith

We believe that God is the eternal king. He is an infinite, unchangeable Spirit, perfect in holiness, wisdom, goodness, justice, power and love. From all eternity He exists as the One Living and True God in three persons of one substance, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit equal in power and glory. we believe that God created mankind in His image, male and female, for relationship with Himself and to govern the earth. Under the temptation of Satan, our original parents fell from grace, bringing sin, sickness and God's judgment of death to the earth. Through the fall, Satan and his demonic hosts gained access to God's good creation. Creation now experiences the consequences and effects of Adam's original sin. Human beings are born into sin, subject to God's judgment of death and captive to Satan's kingdom of darkness. We believe that Jesus, God's Son, was sent to this world, conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of a virgin, Mary, fully God and fully man in one person. He is humanity as God intended us to be. Jesus was anointed as God's Messiah and empowered by the Holy Spirit, ushering in God's kingdom reign on earth, overpowering the reign of Satan by resisting temptation, preaching the good news of salvation, healing the sick, casting out demons and raising the dead. Jesus' atoning death on the cross took God's judgment for sin which we deserved as law-breakers. Jesus' resurrection and ascent back to heaven opened the door for those who received salvation to begin a relationship with God.

Little Nets Into Deep Waters

Fishing nets were designed for one purpose only. To catch fish. Nets are no good if they stay on the boat. Nets serve no purpose if they are never used. I think maybe God sees us this way. We are all created for a purpose (by the way, the creator gets to define what our purpose is). Any other use besides the one we were created for does us no good. But when the creator places His hands upon us, casting us out into those scary, dark places with deep waters, it is then we can see the reality of our purpose. He knew there would be a catch waiting for us. I think I will be the net God has called me to be.

The Twelve Steps

As a community of people in recovery, we affirm that our higher power is Jesus Christ. He did for us what we could not do for ourselves. Just as God told the children of Israel He was going to give them a promised land, He has revealed to us that He desires to give us a "Promised Life." When Israel got to the promised land, God instructed them to go and in a possess it, fight for it and claim it. In recovery, the 12 Steps are the directions given to us on how to fight, possess and claim this promised life.
