Merry Christmas - Lisa Patterson

         This is wishing everyone a wonderful Christmas Holiday and a bright new year.
Jesus died for us to have life and have it more abundantly. So we should see the season as a brand new beginning for us all who are in Christ and those who are not, to give them an example to live by. So the world would see who God's children really are. For us to be like the world is not a difference that we need to make in people's lives. We are to live holy before the lord and show the world that we are different.
It is time for the Church of Jesus Christ to let all the world know who He is and what He has done for us and will do for anyone who wants him. He is no respector of persons. He loves us all the same no matter if we have accepted him or not.
Our job is to be a shinning star to let everyone know there's a Savior who wants anyone and everyone to come to him this hour. For we know not what tomorrow would bring. So we know if we accept him we will be under his covering.
The world is not going to be your friend like Christ. There are too many things going on that we do not know about. So don't get caught up in the world system.
We should be willing to take that step and acknowledge that we need a Savior, who is Jesus Christ, our Lord. No one can love you like he does.
The Lord would say to you, " Be not afraid, I am come to give you life that you cannot receive anywhere else. There is no other and will be no other who shed his blood for your sins so you may be saved and have life more abundantly.
Unless you are washed by the blood, you are not saved. But you will know it when you are because you will feel clean and whole again and cannot keep on sinning as usual. So, let this year end with a change of heart. And come in to me. I will make the crocked places clean and pave the way for you to go. Do not go into the dismal path which will take you to into outer darkness with no way out. Time is short and the year is almost over. Hear my plea and come into me no matter what you have done. And I will make the new path clean, says the Lord." There's a new path for God's people for the New Year. It will be well with thee even though the world system is dark, don't let it take you in and fool you. God wants you to be with him today.
This is Lisa Patterson wishing you a Very Merry Christmas and a Very Happy new Year. Let the Lord come in to you today.

Stop Worrying About It - Lisa Patterson

When worry comes knocking at your door, stop it on the porch or it will move in
and take up residence. Throw the whole weight of the anxieties upon Him, for you are his personal concern. I Peter 5:7. God cares about the things that bother you and prey upon your thoughts. He cares about them more than you do. Not one nagging, gut-wrenching thing goes escaped from Him. You are his personal concern. He watches over you day and night. What qualifies as a worry? Anything that robs you of joy, anything you cannot change, anything you aren't responsible for, anything
you're unable to control, anything that torments you, anything that keeps you awake when you should be asleep.The enemy gives out dreams to frighten and the Lord never gives us those kinds of dreams.
All that stuff needs to be transferred from your worry list to your prayer list. The Bible says: Don't worry about anything; instead pray about everything. Tell God
what you need, and thank Him for all He has done. Then you will experience God's peace. Phip 4: 6-7. Give each worry one by one to God. all about it and all the things that bother you, for he will take them.
The more you practice doing this the more exciting your walk with Him will become.
You'll be amazed at how easily He handles things that overwhelm you. Remind yourself that he is able to to handle it, and waiting for you to give it to Him.
"Cast all your burden on the Lord, and He shall sustain you." Those who live worry
free are those who keep casting their burdens on the Lord until it comes as natural
to them as breathing. So let the Lord love you today like He wants and cast every
thing upon Him so He can take care of it all for you. You cannot fix it anyway.
The Lord would say, "I can take care of it all for you if you will yeild yourself to me.
I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. There is no other God but me. And I am a jealous God, for I do not take it lightly when you choose other gods before me. There are no others, as I have stated in my Word. I do not take it lightly when you pray to other idols other than me. I am forever with you and all you have to do is ask me. I will come near you and be by your side always, until the end of the earth. So do not take this word lightly that I have given you this day. It is placed  here for you and intended for you. I will come as a whirlwind to help you in your hour or need. All I want is to be needed and loved as I have first loved you."
This is Lisa Patterson with the Good News that the Lord Loves You and wants you today. So, come unto Him this hour and receive his goodness and mercy forever.

Bringing Us Back Alive - Lisa Patterson

 Today we are talking about" Bringing Us Back Alive." And in studying God's Love for you Matt. 16:24 says you must deny yourself when you come to God's Glory. He wants all the Glory and all your attention. Matt. 18:3 says If you want your blessing you gotta change who you are and who you hang out with. You cannot expect to be blessed and be mean and ornery to others even if you think you haven't been treated right. You cannot mess around with hogs and expect to smell good. We all have been treated that way and more so if you belong to God.
II Tim. 2:1-9 says the Lord knows who are His. So give up iniquity.. Get the revelation of what God is saying. He'll bring your blessing in disguise (a sinner).The next dimension is fasting and praying. Get your focus back! Deny yourself. True Prophets and Apostles words manifest itself. Lift the Leaders up so God will lift you up! Stand in the gap for someone. It's time to do our job. Time will tell if you've been sealed by God. You gotta surrender all!
II Cor. 3:11-17 God had to tell Moses to cover his face with a veil until the people repented. We have to do away with the old Law. And now we have access to the Lord. If God is not there, then there's no liberty. Where the Spirit of the Lord is there is liberty. So lay aside the weight that holds you back.
Heb. 12 is the glory cloud of witnesses. You're here because He spoke you into existence. Your house has got to be right! Stop sinning cause sin blocks you. weight hinders you. The Holy Ghost will shield your mind! The devil can't get in your spirit, house, or mind unless you let him.
Poverty thinking is to not let go of the past and let the future come through. Let go for the poverty thinking to go. The devil wants you to give up and throw in the towel cause he is mad. Respond like you have the victory---the devil has done messed up! The blood counts for every negative word. Whatever you feed will take over in your life. You have a new focus. You are to love your enemy even when it doesn't seem right and you have been done wrong.
The Lord said, " I am opening doors that have been shut for many many yrs. They are different kinds of doors that the enemy has kept you in and controlled you. I have the key to let you out of those dark places, even the pit. I have the key and I am unlocking them now and knocking them down,
 all of them so that you may have freedom that you have never known. And peace, love, joy and all the fruits of the spirit, says the Lord thy God."
Do your part and what you can even if it seems small, so that people will see that you belong to Him. He loves you with an everlasting love so don't let the devil trick you with his foolishness and fear. Be one with the Lord today because the Lord is Good. This is Lisa Patterson with the Good News that Jesus wants you to come to Him today!The Lord said,"It is going to be a wonderful new year with gifts waiting and surprises inside. The enemy wants you to think that everything is coming down on you and nothing is happening that you have been told. So be of good cheer. I have come to bring you life and to bring it more abundantly. You have no idea the love I have for my children who have obeyed me at all cost. You cannot fathom my love for you. So do not believe what the enemy has told you. For nothing can break the barrier the enemy has set up for my people who love me."

Happy Labor Day - Lisa Patterson

  The Lord wants you to be happy everyday, And the Holidays are no exception. We are to love Him everyday. This is just a happy note to let you know He loves you everyday, holidays or not. He wants us to enjoy our life and give it to him wholy
whether holiday or not. But He wants us to rest in Him and know He's in charge as
long as you give it to Him. Jesus is a gentelman who does not push himself on anybody. Not  when you give Him your will He makes it all well with thee. Not that
everything will be perfect but that you can have perfect peace in the midst of the storm. And everyone will have storms and trials. None of us are exempt saved or not.
So with the Lord on your side you don't have to worry. Cast your cares on Him cause He loves you. Let this day be a good day with family and friends. But have Him first in all things. We cannot live this life alone and no man is an island. There is always
someone there to help and listen. God will bring you to them if you ask.
Everything will be all right if you believe and let Him do it. It may not be the way you wanted it to go, but when you ask Him, it will go right and in the right timing.
Be happy today and have a good time. Our time on earth is short compared to eternity and we need to make the most if it.
This is Lisa Patterson saying have a Good Holiday and Let God love you as He knows how and to guide your path everyday!

Watchmen on the Wall - Lisa Patterson

     Today we will be teaching about "Watchmen On The Wall."

  The Lord wants His people to be watchmen for Him to see if the enemy is coming
  and to track him down. The enemy would like more than anything to creep into the
  church and you not know he's there. And he comes by many means.
  Isaiah 62:6 says watchmen will not keep silent. They will not hold their peace day or night. Set yourself on the wall.(One who stands in the way of the gate one who stands in the gap). Watchmen are intercessors and first in line of defense. They
are women of warfare! Before you were born the fight of your life was already won.
 Eph. 2:6 says He has raised us up and made us to sit together in the Heavenly places.
II Tim. 3:12 All who desire to live a holy godly life in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution. Never confront the natural to do the supernatural,
David had to take out a lion and a bear before he could get the giant out.
John 10:1-3 The doorkeeper (watchman) opens the door. Do not give the key to the enemy. Don't let the enemy come in with illegal access. Kick him out of everything!
 Use your  prophetic intersession to keep the enemy out. There's more with you than
against you . Get bold and take a position in Christ.
The Lord said "My people are skipping around in the flower beds and I want them to get to the point. I want them to get to the point. '
 The Lord loves us so much. He has given us the qualities to take care of the enemy.
We are all supposed to be Watchmen on the Wall. There are angels watching over us.
 The Lord said,"Come up higher my children and let me love you like I want to. I yearn for your attention.There is joy and excitement,and love you have not known. There is much I want to show you but you must come on up where you can see me and the Angelic Choir. You must get in the spirit to see what I have for you. When you are up high you can see how small everything is and how much bigger I am. You can see the light and how it shines on you. Let the Holy Ghost blow clear breath on you to clean you out.There are many people but they do not know you are for me. So let me take it all as I have set my vessel here to show you how. So come up higher so I can show you what I have." There is a special place in God's heart for His children!
The Lord Loves you today and wants you to come to know him. So be of good cheer.
He wants you to know how much He loves you today. He sent his only son so that we might live and have a good Godly life. Do not let the enemy trick you because something happened to you or a family member, or a physical problem. These all come from the enemy. Don't be bothered with things he wants you to dwell on.
The Lord says, "Be of good cheer. I have come to give you life and not to take anything away like the enemy wants you to believe. He wants you to think everything is coming down on you and nothing is happeneing you have been told.
I have come to give you joy and peace and happiness and to heal you. But you must believe that I love you and want you today. I have heard your cry in the midnight hour and know your heart. I will take care of it all if you let me and let it all go. So, just rest in me and know that I have it all under control."
This is Lisa Patterson with the Good News that Jesus Loves you and wants you to come to Him today.

Resting In The Lord - Lisa Patterson

Our subject today is "Resting In The Lord." Heb. 4:11 To rest (surrender completely).Enter into a deeper place of rest so He can do that which He is doing in us. We get so discouraged by God trying to do for Him or what we think He wants.
Workers of iniquity because it's their works and not His.It does not count on what we've done. Vs.10 says who has entered into His rest has ceased from weariness and pain. We need to be delivered from man made religion and a false word we have received over us or a heaviness over us. The Lord is healing us right now. Surgery is needed to cleanse us out and purify our hearts back to the Father. He doesn't want us in bondage. We are not to worry about ANYTHING!!
The Lord said, " Let me love you like I want to. The enemy is scattered and shattered abroad. He won't abuse you like before. but you must still stand on fertile ground to keep him away. Be sharp to hear my voice and know I'm speaking to you. Don't let the enemy speak to you or use you. Cover your family with the blood."
We pay the price to serve Him. Live the Deeper life God has for you9resting in Him).
Letting it all go. We must be broken for God. The enemy is trying to wear us out.
The Lord loves us so much that he put Angels around us and guards to protect us.
There is a wall of protection all around His people and we don't need to let it go by doing our on thing and expecting God to let us have our way. Even in Ministry He expects us to obey at all times. Not just when we feel like it. You can rest is him if you know Him and study the Word on a daily basis. He requires us to let down our guards and have faith that he will take care of us and not let us go.
When you fall in love with Jesus there will be a passion to be with Him. You will not have to learn it! When you are born again the incorruptable seed lives in you even if you live like the world. But you will not have fun at it.

 So let God take over and have you rest in Him and all these things you so desire will be added unto you. This is Lisa Patterson with the Good News that Jesus loves You and wants you to come to Him today.

Ways Of Knowing God - Lisa Patterson

Our subject today is Ways Of Knowing God. Heb. 5:14 Spiritual senses. God leads in a simple format. He won't let it be hard to hear but it's hard to listen. Obedience makes you successful. Acts 16:6.
Jeremiah 18 prophecy is conditional. God does change His mind if you disobey. Timing is conditional to prophecy. I Cor. 13:9 must have peace about prophesying and have an inner witness. Acts 13 says prophecy needs to have a sign to it from a Word of Knowledge. The secrets of your heart are a sign. You attitude plays the most important part. Seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness and all these things will be added unto you.Take what God has placed in you and learn to let it grow and find out about it. Study to show thyself approved a workman that need not turn back.
Faith is your anchor system. Get in His presence and you will get changed. we need to deal with the God of now. Not past or present. God's word is written to see if you've changed. Rom. 5:17.
God destined you to success. If you walk with the Lord you won't know defeat. It doesn't mean you won't be defeated, just won't know defeat. James 4:13-15.
Psalm 139:13-16 Before you were born God already had all of your days planned.
God never leads you where you thought you wanted to go because He wants you to win through Him. There's only 3 things you can take to Heaven(faith, hope and love).
And if God hasn't told you where else to be keep being where you are.You are where He wants you. There's so much to understand about God and when you think you know something, then that's when He'll show you there's so much more to this and everything about Him. He wants us to keep one foot forward and let Him lead the rest of the way. It's only by faith that God works in our lives. There's so much more. And we will learn in the weeks to come. God Loves You and wants you to come to Him today. And the way to do that is by the Holy Spirit guiding our spirits. He loves us more than we will  know. That is why He wrote the Bible. It has been written for everyone to hear and see the real Christ. He shed His blood for us and carried all our sins so we would not have to. That is the kind of love he has for us. We do not know that kind of love, but He has imparted it in our recreated spirit so we welcome Him today. The Lord said, "Blessings are coming your way. Just hold on to me. Let me guide you and take you where no man has been. Do not look to the right or the left or why this or that has not happened.
Everything will be all right if you will just take heed to what I have said and done for you, and blessings are on their way."
This is Lisa Patterson with the Good News that God Loves You and wants you today.

Faith - Lisa Patterson

Today our subject is Faith. Faith is taking God at His Word. We are to take him at face value. God has a limitless supply of resources. Faith is rooted in a trust in God's witness in scripture the way the Holy Spirit is showing us in the Word. So to grow in faith one must choose to believe and receive the witness of scripture and become loyal to it.

Choose to believe the bible as the absolute Word of God. Trust prophetic words brought by godly men and women. 11Chronicles 20:20.

The Lord said, "A wave of blessing is coming your way for your obedience. Miracles
are happening you wouldn't believe but waited for so long. A shifting has occurred in  the spirit to move things over from the old things to a new generation. Let all the old things go and the new to come. Everything is changing to shift to the new."

Faith takes God at His Word. Do not question his promises. Express gratitude for all success and favor. Neh. 2:8. The man or woman of faith will not seek recognition because he or she knows that God sees and rewards. Know that god will not forget your acts of righteousness. He will reward them openly in His time. Esther 6:1-11.

Fear is the opposite of faith: it is believing what God says is not true. God commands us not to be afraid. Faith is able to trust God and not act out in fear. Know and understand that fear shows lack of faith in God and His promises. Job 3:25. Believe that God honors faith that is stronger than death. Job 13:15.

Be consoled in the truth that God is always and everywhere present. Psalms 139:7. Also know that as you continue in Him, the Lord will certainly fulfill His purpose for you. Psalm 138:8.

Faith sees beyond trials and obstacles, knowing that God is sovereign over such and uses them to shape us and strengthen us for future battles.

Belief results in obedience. Faith determines action and produces obedience, through overcoming, becomes fruitful. Be ready to obey the words the Lord speaks to you. Know that God only continues to speak to those who do what He says. I Samuel 3:10. Incomplete obedience is the same as disobedience. Obey the Lord and do not turn away from Him. I Samuel 15: 22-23.

Also believe that where the Lord leads, He feeds. Where He guides, He provides. Choose to believe that the Lord knows how to care for His servants.

"The wind is coming your way. Let everything go so God can take care of it for you.
 Don't look at the way things are. Be still and let me show you these things up high.
 If you look at the circumstances you'll be confused. So the wind is blowing your
 way. Let me show you my love for you. Get out of the boat and believe me, says
  the Lord."

This is Lisa Patterson with the Good News that God Loves You and wants you today. Be blessed.

Being Sheep Of God - Lisa Patterson

Today we will study Being Sheep Of God. Because when you are God's children you are his sheep. And the Shepherd knows His sheep.

John 10:25 says my sheep hear my voice and I know them that follow me. I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish, neither shall anyone snatch them out of my hand.. My Father is greater than all and has given them to me and no one is able to snatch them out of my Father's hand. I and the Father are one.

John 10:1 He who does not enter the sheep fold by the door, but climbs up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber. But he who enters by the door is the shepherd of the sheep. To him the door keeper opens, and the sheep hear his voice. And he calls his own sheep by name, and leads them out. When he brings out his own sheep, he goes before them, and the sheep follow him. For they know his voice. They will by no means follow a stranger, but will flee from him, for they do not know the voice of strangers.

Jesus said again, I am the door of the sheep. All whoever come before me are thieves and robbers. But the sheep did not hear them. I am the door. If anyone enters by me, he will be saved and will go in and out and find pasture. I have come that they will have life.

The thieves and robbers were the Pharisees. The stranger is anyone whom the sheep do not know. Not always a thief or a robber. The sheep wouldn't follow a strangers voice even if he used the shepherd's call and imitated his tone.

A hireling is a hired shepherd, a mercenary who tends the flock for his own interest. When a hired shepherd sees a wolf coming he flees, not caring for the sheep.

Jesus had the power to voluntarily lay down his life for the sheep, but also to take it up again. No one but God can do that.

The characteristics of the sheep are: 1) they hear his voice, 2) they follow him (faith), 3)shall never perish: their eternal life can never be taken away. The Father's hand is more powerful than the enemy. For the Lord says I and my Father are one.

The Lord said, " I love you so much!  You are mine and I have special gifts for you. And I have set you aside for my own. You can only go where I send you and do what I want you to do. You have no idea what I have in store for you.

It's a long road you've traveled but you'd not want it any other way. Be settled in your spirit and situated where you are. I'll move you as I see fit. And you'll go places and do things for me. You have much favor with me. Nothing lacking! Be there for me as  you never have and let me love you."

This is Lisa Patterson with the Good News that God Loves You and wants you to come to Him today.

Living Like Christ - Lisa Patterson

Today we want to study Living Like Christ. Although it is impossible in our own bodies to be like Christ, we are the image of Him when we come into Him. We are Christ's creatures in this earth if we have made Jesus Lord of our life. The way to know is to accept him as your personal Saviour and Lord of your life. That means you will have no other gods before Him. He wants you to have a one on one realationship with Him. He wants our all-in-all. We cannot do anything of our own without the Lord Jesus Christ coming in to help us. We don't realize we are helpless creatures until we need Him and everything else has failed. The devil would want to get you to sway from the Lord and nor do anything by reason of being devilish, cornered, sly,skiddish,foolish,controlling,manipulating and the list goes on. There are ways to know the devil has been in your territory and it may not look like it because he's a master of deception. It is best to stay in God's

Word and refresh and renew your mind to the light of His Word. When you do the devil can't attack you as easily as he does when you're out in the world. He knows he cannot get past God. It is better to be up under the umbrella of God and live in a shack than to have millions of dollars and be up under the world with the enemy. He only comes to steal, kill, and destroy. That is the danger of him and he doesn't always come in so fast and fearce. That's why you need to study the Word and let it get into your spirit. For the foolish things of the world will encamp you and make you think you are in the right place. But it won't be long you'll see the truth. God will show up because someone has prayed for you. There is always somebody the Lord sends to pray for you. We must realize that is how much God loves us. He gave His only begotten Son that whoever would believe on Him might be saved. He does not pull and tug you. He is a gentleman. He will never force himself on anybody and when He does come, you will know it by the peace that accompanies Him. Dear Lord Jesus, please take this time to hear our petition to come to you with our whole heart. We need you today and love you today. And want you into our lives. We humbly ask for your forgiveness of our sins.
The Lord would say , "  It is time to come to Him completely and hold His hand. The enemy would want you to think that everything is coming down on you and nothing is happening that you have been told. So be of good cheer because He is come to take you by the hand and love you like you have never been loved before. It's a new yr. and there are gifts waiting and surprises inside. So come and get yours today!"
Help us to be more like you and be the person you really created us to be. We thank you for all you have done for us and all you're about to do. Let us shine a light to the lost world to let them know about the Lord Jesus and what he has done for us. We ask for our prayers to be answered according to your perfect Will. We need you today. You died for our sins and we thank you for that. No one else would do that for us. We also know that when we die it is eternal and there's no turning back. So we ask you to help us get in with the right fellowship of people to help keep us where we need to be with you. Thank you for cleansing us of all our sins. We ask in your Holy Name, Amen. This is Lisa Patterson with the Good News that God Loves You and wants you to come to Him today.

Alive In Christ - Lisa Patterson

Ephesians 2:1-6 says He made you alive who were dead to trespasses and sins. You were following the course and fashion of this world. The prince of power of the air.

Even though we were disobedient following the control of demon spirits and powers of this world He wanted you and pulled you to Him. God is so rich in His mercy and we were dead to sin. He made us alive together in fellowship and in union with Christ.
And we did not deserve, but being saved from judgement and made partakers of Christ's salvation.
 Psalm 40:3 He has made a new song in my mouth. Many will see it and fear Oh God.

Psalm 18:46 Let God of my salvation be exalted.

Psalm 13:7-9 Raises the poor out of the dust and needy out of the ash heep.. He makes the barren woman to be a homemaker and a joyful Mother of  spiritual children. Praise Him.

Do not look to every Christian  for answers because they don't have it all. Some have to go because of too much influence. Cut off all advice that's not of God. Even every 5 fold Minister doesn't have all your answers. You will have to wait on God even though it doesn't seem to be right. It takes time. God will deliver us if we allow Him to.

He hears our cries at night and is going to deliver us from the enemy.

Psalm 55:2 Cast al your burdens on Him and He will sustain you.

The Lord is your friend and like a brother to you. He wants you to be happy and safe under His wings. He is your guide and your salvation. Come to the Lord Jesus and let Him show His love to you. He will not let you down in your hour of need.

The Lord is good to those who love Him. Let the healing balm cover you and let you know He is the only one you need today.

Eph. 2:10 We are His workmanship recreated in Christ Jesus. We are the children of the free, under grace and not the law. Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law.

He has done everything for us when He died on Calvary for your sins. Don't let the devil trick you by saying you cannot be healed, have salvation, peace, joy, happiness, love, and everything good. The enemy is sly and will put ideas in your head to let you think you are not saved and you can do whatever you want and it'll be ok.

There is nothing good about him. He's a liar from the beginning.
So let Christ come in today and feed on Hi word of salvation and how much he lives you.         

This is Lisa Patterson with the good news that Jesus Loves you today.

Being God Minded - Lisa Patterson

By being God minded, it means to stay in the Word of God and develop the spiritual gifts necessary to be like God. Jesus came in the world as a man like us as the Son of God. We are to establish that same kind of personality but only through letting God be in you as a new creation.
The way you do that is to become born again and let Christ be in you as a new person. The old things have washed away and behold the new are in you as you become a new creation in Christ.
God cannot use you if you're in the way. He doesn't deal with doubt, fear, or being afraid of people.. Num. 2:3 If you get a word from the Lord in a time frame and it didn't come to pass, it wasn't God. You must present yourself in God's way to come to Him. Breakthrough is closer than you think! Only by faith you must labor for God and He will give you rest. Only satan brings you down. Even God rested. Obedience matters to God!
Acts 2 The channel God wants to put you on. When you have to deal with the devil you have to go to a high place. Must have a personal relationship with God for Him to deal with you.
Habbakkah said to write your vision down and expect it to work. Make it plain. It was the Word that formed you. In the beginning was the Word and the Word was God.
If you have perfect peace nothing can upset you. It's only a season right now. Peace is there and coming. We are a spoken seed.
Prov. 16:7 cause your enemies to have peace with you. Liberty is the Lord. Praise Him all the time! God said how can I curse what hasn't been cursed?
Isaiah 54:17 weapon formed against you shall not prosper. Let God be God. The devil always comes to God's children to see what they'll do. Give it back to God!
The Lord said, "I'm just beginning to do that which I said I would do. Waiting time is not wasted time. There's a building up and a flushing out and a cleaning out of that which has been polluted to make the new way clean. It is well with thee. Much resting needed to be done to complete the task I called you to do.
It has not been easy though I called you anyway. But it is all taken care of. Nothing to worry about. Keep one foot forward and I'll lead the rest of the way."
This is Lisa Patterson with the good News that Jesus loves you and wants you to come to Him today and be like Him.

Staying On Track - Lisa Patterson

Today we are going to study Staying On Track. And what that means is to not get off the Word of God. And let Him guide you all the way. We cannot let the pressures of life keep us down and unfocused. Jesus came that we might have life and have it more abundantly.
James 4:7 says therefore submit yourself to the Lord, resist the devil and he will flee from you. Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands and purify your hearts. A doubleminded man is unstable in all his ways and should not think that he will receive anything from the Lord. God resists the proud. You can't think higher than you are. Only the Lord Jesus can bring you up to that place in Him to keep you stable.
It is very important to not get off track lest the devil deceive you and take you to places that seem alright for a while. But after awhile, you'll find out they were not God's plan for you. You can be in God's permissive will or His perfect will. And if you get in the permissive will, that's when the devil can attack you. It may seem right for a while but then you'll get attacked. The difference is in God's army you will have a battle, but He is always there to protect you.
And He lets the trials and tribulations of life to bring you back to where you need Him all the time. Unless you are washed by the blood you aren't saved. So be sure you have Jesus in your heart. The devil goes around like a lion seeking whom he may devour. And he is sly and you won't always know if it's him. He's a wolf in sheep's clothing. Do not be deceived, for God is not mocked. Whatever a man sows he will also reap.
Do not let anyone control you. For that is a demonic spirit. Be who you are. Examine yourself. Make sure you are Christ's. Don't try to be like anyone else. God did not make copies. You are a unique person and there is no one like you. He doesn't have a zerox machine. There's no such thing as a clone in God's Book.
I Cor. 3:16-17 You are the temple of God which is Holy. What you practice will be no matter if you're saved or not. So don't dabble in other stuff that's not God. It may seem right to start but will get you off track. Then you'll have to get back on track again. And to sway over to the left or right is harder to get back than staying on track. So let Him lead you by staying on the right track today. He loves you with an everlasting love no matter what you've done or what kind of sin that has been committed. He's no respecter or persons.

Getting In the Spirit - Lisa Patterson

Today we are going to discuss Getting In The Spirit. So many people are going to organized Church and do not know how to "Get In The Spirit."
The Lord wants more from us than just to go to Church and come home and the same thing all week long until the next Sun. The Bible teaches to stay in the spirit. The way you do that is to be born again and have a new recreated spirit on the inside of you. Staying in the Word of God will help you to stay in the Spirit.
It is so easy to put the Bible down until a crisis arrives and then you open it up to find where you can get an answer you need from. God wants us to want Him all the time, not just when a crisis happens or when we need Him. But to let Him speak to us is such an awesome experience.
Philip. 4:8 whatever is pure, holy, true, of sound doctrine, let us think on these things. Do not let your mind think on the things that will clog up your mind. No bad words should come out of your hearts(mouths). For the heart is a deceitful thing without the Lord changing you from the inside out. There is no way you can change yourself. Only He can do that for you. For without the Lord Jesus coming into our hearts we will not be saved and all would perish. People are perishing everyday even though God chose you to come to Him and let Him love you and wash your sins away. It is only by the shed blood of Jesus that we are saved from our sins. So when we come into Him and His sweet spirit and get to know Him our minds begin to want to change. We are not of ourselves the Bible says, when we come into Him and let Him save us. So, repent today and let Jesus come inot your heart, soul, and mind and cleanse you of your sins. Then you can get in the spirit like He so desires and let Him talk to you. To let you know how much He loves you and died for you so you may have life and have it more abundantly.
Be still and know that I am the Lord, He says. It is by grace that you have received me and by grace that He died for you so you could live a full life in Him, not of your own. For you cannot live a life of your own anymore when you get saved. It is He living in you. Their is no other way except through the Lord Jesus Christ.
So be filled with the Spirit today by calling on Him. The Lord doesn't have any other way to be saved and get in the Spirit. Today is the day to come to salvation. Be at peace and rest with the Lord Jesus inside of you. There is no rest without Him. It is wonderful to get in the Spirit with the Lord and as you do each day will be stronger.

The Fruits Of The Spirit - Lisa Patterson

Matt. 3:10 Says every tree that does not bear good fruit will be cut down and thrown into the fire.
Matt. 7:15 To beware of false prophets who come to you in sheep's clothing, but are inwardly ravenous wolves. And Matt. 26:29 says for to everyone who has, more will be given, and he will have abundance. But to him who does not have, even that will be taken away.
Luke 1:42 When Elizabeth heard the greetings of Mary that the babe leaped into her womb and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit. Then she said blessed are you among women and blessed is the fruit of your womb.
John 15:2 Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit He takes away. And every branch that bears fruit He prunes that it may bear more fruit.
Romans 6:22 But now having been set free from sin and having become slaves of God, you have your fruit to holiness, and the end everlasting life. For the wages of sin is death. But the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus.
Gal. 5:22 But the fruit of the Spirit is joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law. And those who are in Christ have cruicified the flesh with it's passions and desires. For he who sows to the flesh reaps corruption. But he who sows to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap everlasting life. And let us not grow weary in well doing. For we will reap if we faint not.
Rev. 22:14 Blessed are those who do His commandments that they may have life and have it more abundantly. And that they may have the right to the tree of life and may enter through the gates into the city.
We must understand that the lord loves us with an everlasting life and that is why he would prune us to make us be more like Him. Jesus is the way the truth and the life and no man comes to the Father except by Him.
He loves us so much that He gave His only son that whosoever should call upon him would be saved. This is Lisa Patterson with the Good News that Jesus is Lord and Loves you with an everlasting love.
