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."

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.
