The highest Heavens belong to the Lord but the earth He has given to man. (Psalm 115:16). Why did the Lord give the earth to man? The answer is: So that we bring the will of God here on earth as it is in Heaven. How do we do the will of God? God has given us His Word. It is our standard for daily living as Christians. As we obey it, as we align our lives, words & thoughts to His Word, we are doing His will. As we share or witness Jesus Christ to the lost & dying world, we are doing His will. It is written: He who wins souls is wise. Meaning: if we do not win souls for God we are unwise before Him. As we heal the sick & deliver the oppressed we are doing His will. As we help the poor, needy, disabled, aged, widows, orphans, believers, pastors, smaller churches, etc, we are doing His will. If you give to the poor, you lend to the Lord. EMPOWER them & poverty will leave their homes. Christianity will have a meaning in their lives & families. The church should be known for giving to the poor & needy not only for receiving. Prayer: Father, i thank you for Jesus. Thank you for sometimes answering my prayers before i finish praying. Thank you for hearing & answering my prayer.

I put angels to action in Jesus name. Let them guard us & minister to our needs. In Jesus mighty name we pray & give you thanks, Amen. Good morning Holy Spirit. Immanuel: God with us. Heaven Rules.

I will be their God, & they will be My people. No longer will a man teach his neighbor, or a man his brother, saying: Know the Lord, because they will all know Me, from the least of them to the greatest. (Hebrews 8:10-11). If our hearts are not changed, following God's rules will be unpleasant & difficult. We will rebel against being told how to live the Christian way. The Holy Spirit, however, gives us new desires, helping us wanting to obey God. With new hearts, hearts of flesh & not hearts of stone, we will find that serving God is our greatest joy. Under God's new covenant, God's law is inside us & not outside, ie, on a tablet of stone. No, it's written in our hearts. It is no longer an external set of rules & principles. The Holy Spirit reminds us of Christ's words, activates our ...
