Turn up The Light (Part I)

Posted on by tanprelow
  • John 8:12 Once more Jesus addressed the crowd. He said, “I am the Light of the world. He who follows Me will not walk in the darkness, but will have the Light of life.”
  • Luke 2:32 A Light for revelation to the Gentiles [to disclose what was previously unknown], And [to bring] the praise and honor and glory of Your people Israel.”

These scriptures are very timely for the time and season we are currently in, we understand that Jesus is The Light. He shines amid great darkness. “The Light” means to shine or make manifest G5457. “The Darkness” G4653 means something dim (shadowy, faint) or obscure (dark, hidden, hazy). Darkness is also the current world in which we live, and this world is immersed in sin and everything that is opposed to biblical truth. Here’s A few facts about “The Darkness”:

  • Darkness cannot appropriate (overtake, usurp) the Light
  • Darkness cannot absorb (occupy, understand) the Light
  • Darkness is UN-receptive (not responsive & UN-receivable) to the Light.

We (Born Again Christians) are to be A light during great darkness. In these end-times, darkness (misery, destruction, ignorance, wickedness) shall cover the earth and gross darkness the people. The Lord (Jehovah) will arise upon his saints, and his glory shall be seen (manifest) upon us ISA 60:2. GOD is calling us to Turn Up The Light! Light will always expose darkness; we should not agree with the unfruitful works of darkness but rather reprove (rebuke, expose) darkness.

Now is the time to turn from the kingdom of darkness to the marvelous and true Light of Christ.Turn up the Light of Christ in your life via fasting, prayer, reading the bible daily, and cultivating A relationship with our heavenly father. He is waiting to hear from you (and I). As we see the gross darkness covering the people, we should run to the only one who can save us from destruction, JESUS Christ!

ISA 42:6 “I am the Lord, I have called You in righteousness,I will also hold You by the hand and watch over You,And I will appoint You as a covenant to the people,As a light to the nations,

John 12:46 I have come as Light into the world, so that everyone who believes in Me will not remain in darkness.

John 3:19-21 AMP ‘This is the judgment [that is, the cause for indictment, the test by which people are judged, the basis for the sentence]: the Light has come into the world, and people loved the darkness rather than the Light, for their deeds were evil.

For every wrongdoer hates the Light, and does not come to the Light [but shrinks from it] for fear that his [sinful, worthless] activities will be exposed and condemned. But whoever practices truth [and does what is right—morally, ethically, spiritually] comes to the Light, so that his works may be plainly shown to be what they are—accomplished in God [divinely prompted, done with God’s help, in dependence on Him].

“Stay Tuned As we study further on this topic! In the meantime, saints and non-saints alike, it’s time to turn up the Light!

Tune in to the Study: Turn Up The Light

There’s Power in the blood of Jesus

Posted on by tanprelow

Precious Blood

As Christians, we should know and understand how powerful the blood of Jesus is. The blood of Jesus is so precious and powerful, yet many deny the power of his blood.

Any message of salvation void of the blood of JESUS is NOT the gospel. We need the blood of Jesus to cleanse our souls, to purge our conscience from dead works to serve the living GOD, and to be reconciled back into right fellowship with GOD.

What the blood of JESUS means to us:

The blood of JESUS washes our sins away and cleanses us: REV 1:5 Jesus demonstrated his love for us by setting us free from our sins through his death on the cross. He washed us from our sins in his blood, gathering us together into his kingdom and making us priests to administer GOD’s love to others.

Jesus purchased you (the church) with his blood: Acts 20:28 Jesus purchased the church with his blood.

You’ve been reconciled to GOD by the blood of JESUS: 

EPH 2:13 Through the blood of Jesus, those who were once far off from GOD, are now made near to GOD.

You’ve been purchased with the blood of JESUS: 1st Peter:19 

We were purchased with precious blood, like A sacrificial lamb without spot or blemish. The priceless (precious) blood of Jesus Christ.

The Blood of Jesus Speaks for Us: Hebrews 12:24 Jesus, the mediator of the new covenant, sprinkled blood speaks. The blood of JESUS speaks of mercy on our behalf.

You have access to the Holy Place: Hebrews 10:19 Believers have confidence and full freedom to enter the Holy Place (the place where GOD dwells) by the blood of Jesus.

Through the blood of JESUS, your sins are forgiven: Hebrews 9:22 Everything is cleansed with blood, and without the shedding of blood, there is no forgiveness of sin.

The blood of JESUS purges our conscious: Hebrews 9:14 The blood of Christ, through the Holy Spirit, willingly offered himself unblemished to God, which cleanses our conscience from dead works to serve the living GOD.

The blood of JESUS offers eternal redemption: Jesus went once and for all into the Holy Place, through his blood, having obtained and secured eternal redemption (salvation of all who believe in Him as Savior).

Justified by the Blood: Romans 5:9 Through the blood of JESUS, you’ve been justified (made righteous) just as you’ve never sinned, you are now declared free from the guilt of sin by His blood.

The blood of JESUS saves you from GOD’s wrath: Romans 5:9 Through JESUS (shed blood), we will be saved from the wrath of God through Him.

There’s healing in the blood of JESUS: Isaiah 53:4-5, Jesus has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows, and with his stripes, we are healed.

The blood of Jesus gives power/authority over the devil: Revelation 12:11

The blood of Jesus cleanses us from all sin: 1st John 1:7 If we walk in the light, as Jesus is in the light and have true fellowship with Jesus, the blood of JESUS God’s son cleanses us from all sin and will keep us cleansed as we walk in fellowship with him.

Through the blood of Jesus, we are made at peace with GOD: Colossians 1:20, Jesus made peace with believers through the blood of his cross.

The blood of Jesus will set you free from grief and sorrow: ISA 53:4, But He has borne our griefs, And He has carried our sorrows and pains. 

There’s healing in the blood of JESUS: ISA 53:5, And by His stripes (wounds), we are healed.

When we understand the power, redemption, sanctification, cleansing, healing power in the blood of Jesus, we can operate in all GOD has called us to, JESUS CHRIST IS LORD!! Apply the blood of Jesus over your life and operate in the fullness of his power.

Spiritual Gateways of the Body

Posted on by tanprelow

Rev 3:20 Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hears my voice, and open the door, I will come into him and will sup with him, and he with me.

What is A Gate?

A gate is A place of authority, A place of security, gates control exit, and entry into An area. The door in your home is A gateway; the fence in your backyard is A gate. You have the authority to open or close the doors and gates in your home. Other words for gates: (borders, boundaries, portal, and door).

In ancient times, gates were significant because the strength of the gate determined the safety of a city. If the enemy stormed the gate and succeeded, the horses and chariots of war would enter into it. So, when the gate came down, the city was conquered.

Although the gates mentioned above are concerning physical gates, we must know there are spiritual gates as well. Our enemies stand at the gates awaiting entry. There are several demonic gateways the devil use to enter in and defile our soul. In ancient times, whoever controlled the gates had dominion and power in their grasp.

1st Peter 5:8 Be sober, be vigilant; because of your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:

Essential Facts About spiritual gates:

  • Our enemies will plot and wait at our gates: Judges 16:2 And it was told the Gazites, saying, Samson has come hither. And they compassed him in, and laid wait for him all night in the gate of the city, and were quiet all the night, saying, In the morning, when it is day, we shall kill him
  • Sin crouches at our door/ gates it desires to overpower us: Genesis 4:7 If you do well [believing Me and doing what is acceptable and pleasing to Me], will you not be accepted? And if you do not do well [but ignore My instruction], sin crouches at your door; its desire is for you [to overpower you], but you must master it.”
  • There are gatekeepers at gates: Joshua 20:4 And when he that doth flee unto one of those cities shall stand at the entering of the gate of the city, and shall declare his cause in the ears of the elders of that city, they shall take him into the city unto them, and give him a place, that he may dwell among them.
  • There can be A breach in our gates: Ezekiel 26:10
  • Our gates/walls can be broken down: Proverbs 25:28 Like a city that is broken down and without walls [leaving it unprotected] Is a man who has no self-control over his spirit [and sets himself up for trouble].

Before I list the major gateways, we must know our battle is internal. Anytime we’ve opened the door to sin we’ve given our enemies A legal right into our lives (Just A Jesus stands at the door and knock in Rev 3:20) our enemy knocks at the door, and many of us have answered. When you are born again, you must patiently possess your soul.

Major gates the enemy uses to access our lives (among many):

  • Eye Gate: This is important as your eye (if healthy) gives light to your entire body. Your eyes are the lamp of your body. Through this gateway, once it is defiled, a strong spirit of lust, pornography, etc. can enter in. Jesus also warned us if our eyes cause us to sin, it is better to gouge the eye out rather than enter into Hell with two eyes.  Job also made A covenant with his eyes to not lust after women. Our eyes are like the lens of A camera; it takes A picture and transfers it to our spirit. In Psalm 101, David states, “I will set no wicked thing before my eyes.” In Jesus warning to the Laodicean church, he advised them to anoint their eyes with salve so they can see. We must be careful what we watch on TV, Phone, etc. all of these are devices the enemy can use to defile our eye gate. Matthew 6:22 The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single; thy whole body shall be full of light.
  • Ear Gate: The Bible says, “Faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.” The opposite is additionally true if we listen to the lies of satan, i.e. (worldly music, his false ministers, his accusations, etc.) Listening to the wrong thing will affect our hearing gateway. When our hearing gateway is defiled, it will make it hard for us to hear the truth of God’s word. Verbal Abuse and any negative speaking can cause A blockage to this gate and cause spirits or rejection and death to enter.
  • Mouth Gate: Our words hold power; we are instructed to bridle our tongue. Though it is A little member, it can cause significant damage. Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof. Proverbs 18:21 Beware of the idle words you speak over yourself and others, we will be judged for every idle word we speak. We must also remember not to use our tongues to speak curses one minute and blessings the next Can both fresh water and salt water flow from the same spring?
  • Sex Gate: The sex gate is the most successful gate used by Satan. There is practically nothing the enemy cannot do to someone who is sexually perverse. Once you engage in sex outside marriage, or any illicit sexual sin, i.e. (oral, anal, sodomy, masturbation, etc.) you’ve allowed an open the door to the enemy. The command in GOD’s word is to “flee fornication every other sin A person commit is outside the body but the person who commits fornication, sins against his own body.” (1st Corinthians 6:18) Fornication is not only committed by those who are unmarried, but those who are married as well, (Adultery, pornography, uncleanliness) are all considered fornication as well. We must flee sexual sin, and we are told (if married) we should not defile our marriage bed, (this means our marriage bed can be defiled. If you’re not married, you’re to flee (run from) fornication as well. We must close the door to this perverse sex gate.

How to overcome:

1.    If you are not A Christian, you have to surrender your life to JESUS.

2.    Repent of your sin (this is key to starting your born-again process, you must repent of your sin). 

3.    Conquer the giants that are within your gates (by the power of the Holy Spirit)

4.    Renew your mind daily by reading God’s word, Know and meditate on God’s word (Through knowledge the righteous are delivered Prov 11:9)

5.    Restore the spiritual gates in your life (Read Nehemiah)

6.    Stay in prayer and couple it with fasting to pull down the strongholds in the gateways.

The gates named above are gates our enemies use through our five carnal senses (touch, taste, smell, Seeing, and Hearing). There are also gates we have access to as well:

  • Jesus is the door/gate to the father: John 10:9 I am the door(gate): by me, if any man enters in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.
  • The Narrow and Wide Gates (Chose Wisely) Matthew 7:13-14 Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad and easy to travel is the path that leads the way to destruction and eternal loss, and there are many who enter through it. 14 But small is the gate and narrow and difficult to travel is the path that leads the way to [everlasting] life, and there are few who find it
  • We can possess the gates of our enemies: Gen 22:7
  • Pray and ask GOD to guard our gates to stop anything unclean from entering in: 2Chronicles 23:19 Jehoiada stationed the gatekeepers [at the gates] of the house of the Lord, so that no one would enter who was in any way unclean (Jehoiada means “Knowledge of the Lord”).
  • Gates of Thanksgiving & Praise: Psalm 100:4 Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name.
  • Gates of Righteousness: Psalm 118:19 Open to me the gates of righteousness: I will go into them, and I will praise the LORD:

In closing, we must know, meditate upon, and understand Gods word. We are more than conquers in Christ Jesus. Be courageous, and destroy the strongholds in your life, through the power of the Holy Spirit, you can overcome sin.

Most importantly Guard your heart with all diligence; for out of it flows the issues of life (Prov 4:23)

The Glorification of the Sons of God

Posted on by tanprelow

God is calling his children to spiritual maturity; his ultimate goal is “Christ in us” this is his hope of glory. In the end times, GOD will pour his Spirit upon the end time church. We must prepare ourselves now for when the end comes.

Those who are the Sons of God will:

  1. Be Led by the Holy Spirit
  2. Delivered from spirits of bondage & fear (**Note these are actual spirits we need deliverance from**)
  3. Receive the Spirit of Adoption
  4. The Spirit of God will bear witness with our human spirit that we are children of GOD. If Children, we will then be heirs with God & Jesus
  5. Will suffer with Jesus
  6. Be glorified with Jesus
  7. Gods glory will be revealed in the Sons of God

Romans 8:12-17

‘For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, “Abba, Father.” For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. Therefore, brethren, we are debtors—not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh. For if you live according to the flesh you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live. The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, then heirs—heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him, that we may also be glorified together.’

There is a remnant (as with every generation) that will especially walk with GOD. These individuals will earnestly seek him and worship the Father in Spirit and Truth! God is calling us to seek him with our whole heart. If we seek him, he will be found even in these last days, “But if from thence thou shalt seek the LORD thy God, thou shalt find him, if thou seek him with all thy heart and with all thy soul.” Deuteronomy 4:29

All of creation was affected by the fall of man according to (Romans 8: 19-23) when we come into the maturity of being Sons of GOD through full union with Jesus Christ and his body then the entire creation will be set free from the effects of the fall. This transition is not easy for Gods children & creation; hence it is compared to “travailing in pain together.”

The way we come into spiritual maturity is through constant communion with Jesus Christ & The Holy Spirit. Most importantly, it is about us resting in Gods promise, and you’re not called to do many works or force yourself to change. Instead, you can simply rest in his promise by meditating on the word of GOD night & day, having constant fellowship with the Holy Spirit and being led into all truth by the Holy Spirit. God will perfect that which concerns you (Psalm 138:8) Remember For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are Sons of God, (Romans 8:14). Jesus said that the Holy Spirit would lead us into all truth as Jesus directs Him. The Holy Spirit will glorify Christ in us, (John 16:12-15).

Another key to being led by the Holy Spirit is obedience; we have to obey his voice as he directs us into all truth and righteousness. Obedience is key to walking in GODS truth & light. “And having been perfected, He became the author of eternal salvation to all who obey Him” Hebrews 5:19. There is so much more to write about this subject, but I urge you to search the scriptures & please seek the Lord while he may be found. It’s time to come into the fullness of maturity to see the Glorification of the Sons of GOD!
God Bless~

Scripture Reading:
EZK 37: 2-6
Then He caused me to pass by them all around, and behold, there were very many in the open valley; and indeed, they were very dry. 3And He said to me, “Son of man, can these bones live?”
So I answered, “O Lord God, You know.”
4Again He said to me, “Prophesy to these bones, and say to them, ‘O dry bones, hear the word of the Lord! 5Thus says the Lord God to these bones: “Surely I will cause breath to enter into you, and you shall live. 6I will put sinews on you and bring flesh upon you, cover you with skin and put breath in you; and you shall live. Then you shall know that I am the Lord.”

For it was fitting for Him, for whom are all things, and through whom are all things, in bringing many sons to glory, to perfect the author of their salvation through sufferings. For both He who sanctifies and those who are sanctified are all from one Father; for which reason He is not ashamed to call them brethren, (Hebrews 2:10-11 NASB)

The creation waits eagerly for the Sons of God to be revealed; for the creation was made subject to frustration—not willingly, but because of the one who subjected it. But it was given a reliable hope that it too would be set free from its bondage to decay and would enjoy the freedom accompanying the glory that God’s children will have. We know that until now, the whole creation has been groaning as with the pains of childbirth; and not only it, but we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we continue waiting eagerly to be made sons—that is, to have our whole bodies redeemed and set free. (Romans 8:19-23 CJB)

The Will of GOD

Posted on by tanprelow

The Will of GOD

According to Eph 5:17, it is unwise if we do not understand what the Lords will is for our life.

While I was in prayer recently, I asked the Lord to show me his will for my life. His response was very quick “My will is in my word”. I committed myself to study the will of God according to his word, I found out his will not only for myself but all Christians. I decided to write this post to share what I have come to understand regarding God’s will.

Doing the will of God can be summed up in one word… OBEDIENCE! When you obey God’s word, you are doing the will of GOD. Your love for Jesus will cause you to obey his word John 14:15 (If ye love me, keep my commandments.)

We are advised in James 1:22 to not only be a hearer of the word but doers. We must be a Practitioner of God’s word. If we are hearers only, we are deceiving ourselves.

  • Psalm 40:8 I delight to do thy will, O my God: yea, thy law is within my heart.
    Psalm 143:10 Teach me to do thy will; for thou art my God: thy spirit is good; lead me into the land of uprightness.

To know God’s will you must walk with him, build a relationship with GOD. This is done by reading the word daily, Prayer, Bible Study, Fasting, Worshipping. His promises, provisions and will are in his word.

Let’s look at some scriptures concerning God’s will for our lives:

Surrender: We are to present our body as a living sacrifice to God. (Surrender your all to GOD, your will, mind, emotions) You cannot be Lord over your life and expect Jesus to be Lord as well. You cannot serve two masters! You must surrender your all to the Lord. Romans 12:1

Renew Your Mind: Do not conform (fashion) to this world, but be transformed (metamorphose) by the renewing (renovation) of your mind this is the perfect will of GOD. Your mind is renewed in his word, this further shows the importance of reading Gods word. Romans 12:2

Suffering Servant: It is God’s will for us to suffer for well doing, rather than evil doing. 1st Peter 3:17
Wherefore let them that suffer according to the will of God commit the keeping of their souls to him in well doing, as unto a faithful Creator. 1st Peter 4:19
For what glory is it, if, when ye be buffeted for your faults, ye shall take it patiently? But if, when ye do well, and suffer for it, ye take it patiently, this is acceptable with God. 1st Peter 2:20

Pursue Holiness: We are to abstain (refrain) from fornication (porneia, harlotry, adultery, incest). Sanctification (Purity/Holiness), Know how to possess our vessel in sanctification and honour, God has not called us to unto uncleanness but unto holiness. 1st Thess 4:3-6

Joy, Praise, and Thanksgiving: Rejoice evermore, Pray without ceasing, and in everything give thanks! 1st Thess 5:16-18

Salvation: God is longsuffering toward us, it is not his will any should perish but that all should come to repentance. 2nd Peter 3:9
For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour; who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth. 1st Timothy 2:3-4
Live For Gods Glory: Forasmuch then as Christ hath suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves likewise with the same mind: for he that hath suffered in the flesh hath ceased from sin; That he no longer should live the rest of his time in the flesh to the lusts of men, but to the will of God.1st Peter 4:12

These are only A few scripture’s concerning Gods will for our life. I encourage you to chase after the will of GOD. Make it your first priority (Matthew 6:33) But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness. Meditate on his word daily, we must meditate on his word to understand his will, promises, and provisions for our life.

I have provided some scriptural prayer points below:
Col 1:9 ~Pray to be filled with the knowledge of Gods will”
Col 4:12 “Pray to stand perfect and complete in all the will of GOD”
Heb 13:21 “Pray for the very GOD of peace, to make you perfect in every good work to do his will”

God Bless and Keep You All
