Promise Keeper

John 3:16

“What then shall we say that Abraham our father has found according to the flesh?” –  Romans 4: 1

The Bible says in Genesis 12:1-4, “Now the LORD had said to Abram: “Get out of your country, From your family And from your father’s house, To a land that I will show you. I will make you a great nation; I will bless you And make your name great; And you shall be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you, And I will curse him who curses you; And in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed. So Abram departed as the LORD has spoken to him, and Lot went with him. And Abram was seventy-five years old when he departed from Har’an.”

“For if Abraham was justified by works, he has something to boast about, but not before God.” – Romans 4:2 

Abraham was honored by God because of his faith. The Bible says in Genesis 24:1, “Now Abraham was old, well advanced in age; and the LORD had blessed Abraham in all things.” The promise that God has given Abram (who later became Abraham) was contrary to human belief, but Abrahams obedience was inspired by his faith. The Bible says in 1 Samuel 15: 22 -23, “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 iniquity and idolatry, Because you have rejected the word of the LORD, He also has rejected you from being king.” We may offer a work unto God, but that does not mean it was done from obedience. Obedience is trusting Him when it does not make sense, when the world is contrary to what He is saying.

“ For what does the Scripture say? “Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.” – Romans 4:3

There is nothing that we can do to repay God for his beloved son (Jesus Christ.) Infact, He loved us so much that He sent His only begotten Son Jesus to die on the cross for us as it reads in John 3:16-17, “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.” God requires our obedience and faith. When we are obedient, and we are faithful, we are aligned with the promise of God. The Bible says in Matthew 5:12, “Rejoice and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you.” The Word of God shows us that God has promised us a great reward. In return, we must trust God in the midst of trials, persecution, affliction, and tribulation.

“Now to him who works, the wages are not counted as grace but as debt. But to him who does not work but believes on Him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is accounted for righteousness.” – Romans 4:4-5

The Bible says in Psalm 116:12-14-, “What shall I render to the LORD For all His benefits toward me? I will take up the cup of salvation, And call upon the name of the LORD. I will pay my vows to the LORD Now in the presence of all His people.” This shows that we are matchless to the Lord our God. We must  offer praise, obedience, and faith so that our God will see us through. The Lord hears His people and values those who are righteous in His sight, for The Bible says in Psalm 34:15-18, “The eyes of the LORD are on the righteous, And His ears are open to their cry. The face of the LORD is against those who do evil, To cut off the remembrance of them from the earth. The righteous cry out, and the LORD hears, And delivers them out of all their troubles. The LORD is near to those who have a broken heart, And saves such as have a contrite spirit.”  Our faith in God, puts us in alignment to be heard in the darkest of times by God, but we cannot be righteous if there is not faith.

Prayer

Father God In The Name of Jesus, Lord I abhor myself as in Job 42:6 , “Therefore I abhor myself, And repent in dust and ashes.” I repent for allowing fear and doubt to question the promise that YOU gave me. I will no longer entertain those spirits because THE BIBLE SAYS in II Timothy 1:7, “For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.”  Lord YOU gave me promise and for this I will trust YOU because The Biblesays in Numbers 23:19, “God is not a man, that He should lie, Nor a son of man, that He should repent. Has He said, and will He not do? Or has He spoken, and will He not make it good?” Lord I will trust YOU even when the winds are contrary to The Word of God. I Love YOU Lord. If any sin should hinder this prayer, I ask that You forgive me. In Jesus Name, I pray. Thank God, Amen.

Thank you for reading this post…. Love,

Genesis 29:9

Should I Date HIM?

2 Corinthians 6:14-15 New Living Translation (NLT)

The Temple of the Living God

14 Don’t team up with those who are unbelievers. How can righteousness be a partner with wickedness? How can light live with darkness? 15 What harmony can there be between Christ and the devil[a]? How can a believer be a partner with an unbeliever?

In The State Of The Church

We are in a hard state of transition… and it is not easy. As God is raising a John The Baptist and a tie with the Apostolic Church, there is a certain type of GROANING that has to take place… Even in our personal lives as it comes with dating there is a GROANING that has to take place.

We have many people in ministry who “talk” about dating and Christianity but lets be honest.. Most of us know that they are living double lives and what they preach is not matching up to their daily living.

With That Being Said

As a single woman myself I want to talk about some MAJOR signs that disqualify a man from being your godly spouse.

1. Is He Disrespectful To His Mother?

Believe it or not… I have encountered men that have literally beat their mothers. I have heard the testimony of a woman who son beat his mother and she accepted him back (which I DO NOT agree with) and I have encountered a man in my own dating life who said him and his mother used to fistfight… Needless to say God ended that quickly.

Because of this, we know that we are REALLY living in the Last Days. Now I used to hear about the Last Days growing up, but I really didn’t care about it because… well my childhood did not match up to what was put out on social media.

But as a Young Adult who is a SINGLE woman, through my dating life and daily encounters I see that we are really living in the LAST DAYS.

The Bible tells us,

Matthew 24:12 Good News Translation (GNT)

12 Such will be the spread of evil that many people’s love will grow cold.

****

Question: But what if his mother forgives him for beating her?

Answer: Ok… but what does that have to do with you?

The Bible says,

Deuteronomy 21:18-21 New International Version (NIV)

A Rebellious Son

18 If someone has a stubborn and rebellious son who does not obey his father and mother and will not listen to them when they discipline him, 19 his father and mother shall take hold of him and bring him to the elders at the gate of his town. 20 They shall say to the elders, “This son of ours is stubborn and rebellious. He will not obey us. He is a glutton and a drunkard.” 21 Then all the men of his town are to stone him to death. You must purge the evil from among you. All Israel will hear of it and be afraid.

There is NO excuse for this ! Many people know that I was severely abused as child. My mother literally kicked me in my head growing up with her work shoes (she was a police officer) and GOD HIMSELF told me to not hit my mother.

If he would hit his mother… what would he do to you?

2. He calls himself a “prophet” , but he verbally abuses me.

Yup… been there and done that. This is one you have to be so careful with. The prophetic is a beautiful and supernatural thing… However, we are living in a time where many people LIE and call themselves prophets with NO FRUIT OR EVIDENCE that is who they really are. People want to be prophets for money, cars, and clothes yet they have NO IDEA what you have to go through…

For Example:

If you are a REAL prophet you should know what it’s like to be on the other side of the mountain.

You should know what its like to be literally groomed in the desert.

You should know what its like to survive with NO MONEY or phone and yet somehow God has provided food for you to eat (1 Kings 17:4) … If he cant truthfully talk about the W.I.L.D.E.R.N.E.S.S. then he ain’t a prophet.

***

You have to be so careful with a man who is verbally abusive and yet calls himself a prophet or minister of God. He could be functioning in the Spirit of Jezebel (which he got from being a homosexual). Also, as you draw closer to God HE WILL abuse you because He is jealous of you… It starts verbally than it leads physically…

3. He always wants to be on the PHONE but don’t want to work.

Girl… run the other direction. Sis I mean sprint buy some sneakers and sprint the other direction. The Bible says,

2 Thessalonians 3:10 New International Version (NIV)

10 For even when we were with you, we gave you this rule: “The one who is unwilling to work shall not eat.”

I hate a lazy man, I really do.

Me personally, my body was always physically pushed to the Limit in the Marine Corps. I had to lose 27 pounds in a week and a half… and a few days later I was hiking 12 miles with a 40 pound pack on my back. I have had to carry men during exercises during physical training test. Also, I ended my Marine Corps Boot Camp Training with a fractured foot and pinched nerve in my spine and pushed through until I graduated….

So when I hear a grown man sob about working after he has slept all day! I cant… I’m not the one for it.

But God is daily humbling me as he grooms me into who He has called me to be.

With that being said,

Keep God first and really take heed to what I am saying. It really is time for us Christians to stop pretending in our personal lives and live up to a Christ like standard.

If He is any of these (this is ONLY for women… don’t play with me). Then let him go.

Well Will I Ever Have A Good Spouse

If you obey God then yes you will !

* Sometimes I hear in ministry , “obey the prophet” and they misuse the text from Hosea.

There was someone that I dated years ago… Now God warned me in a dream that He was not the man for me, but ofcourse I still went and did what I wanted.

But just like GOD said it didn’t work out.

God could not bless our sin. He wasn’t my David.

If you want a Boaz, the glean like Ruth.

If you want a good husband then act like it ! Start deleting old boyfriends numbers, stop stalking your ex’s page and asking him how he is doing. The Bible says that Faith Without Works Is Dead! If you want the spouse then act like it ! Amen ? Amen !

Love Mixed With Faith,

Diamond
