MATURITY

Sunday message: Just because you pray, read your bible, worship, go to church, even speak in tongues make you more mature. Maturity comes from the judgment you've develop in making right decisions. I know a lot of good believers who love God and have the greatest of intensions and motives, yet they lack good judgment, reasoning to make the right decisions. They live in a perpetual cycle of emotional outburst, of blaming others for their lives, they react to circumstances rather than responding to them, in fact you can count on them always running away when the pressure comes. Why is that? They haven't matured, no judgment! 

Apostle Paul said: 1 Cor 13:11 When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought (reasoned, judged) as a child; but when I became a man, I put away childish things.

Reasoned- to take an inventory, that is, estimate —conclude, (ac-) count (of), + despise, esteem, impute, lay, number, reason, reckon, suppose, think (on), judge, discern.

I truly believe that many Christians who have trouble walking in their divine its not lack of passion or even sin, its a failure to mature. Beloved His grace is sufficient to help us develop the reasoning and good judgment we need. The word says; acknowledge Him in all your ways, and He shall direct your paths.

Maturity is a psychological term used to indicate how a person responds to the circumstances or environment in an appropriate. This response is generally learned rather than instinctive, and is not determined by one's age. Maturity also encompasses being aware of the correct time and place to behave and knowing when to act appropriately, according to the situation and the culture of the society one lives in.

In other words, how do you respond to circumstances or develop Judgment to know; with who, what, when, and where. Its not your action thats the problem, their just a by-product of how you reason or judge a situation.

The mature graduate from one level to the next.
They are not repeating the same test every year.

The immature constantly need to be governed by rules.
The immature become very legalistic in their approach, especially with others. They demand so much from others but very little of themselves.
They are always referring how it used to be, the law, and can’t enjoy grace.
The immature are led by the law, yet the mature are led by the spirit.

James 1:13 For everyone who partakes only of milk is unskilled in the word of righteousness, for he is a babe. 

The mature understand righteousness, they don’t need to be watched like little children.. The mature have received and walk in GRACE.

James 1:14 But solid food belongs to those who are of full age, that is, those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.

The mature have developed judgment, reasoning, and know how to choose between good and evil.

Beloved my desire is that the body of Christ mature and by doing so develop weight in the spirit so that we can influence the world and be respected as a corporate force in the earth.

Ps: Tell your neighbor its time to mature. If you want share this with others

Prophetic Word: Darkness versus Glory

Yesterday I went to pray and after a little while I fell asleep. However when i woke up the Lord gave me this verse; Isaiah 60:1 Arise, shine For your light has come! And the glory of the LORD is risen upon you. 2 For behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, And deep darkness the people; But the LORD will arise over you, And His glory will be seen upon you. People things are not going to get better for the world, in fact things are going to get worse. Yet in the midst of great darkness, God glory will begin to be revealed over who believe in Him.. There will be a parallel of opposite proportions for the world and Gods people. When you begin to see greatest darkness, than you begin to expect great Glory. People, now is not the time to react but to reflect the glory we contain. For to long Gods people has been reacting to what the world does as if we need to imitate what they do to be accepted. The word says that Christ in you is the hope of glory. Thats why I believe that God will allow things to get worse for and in the world, so that we who contain His glory may begin to reflect what we possess. 


Isaiah 60:3 The Gentiles shall come to your light, And kings to the brightness of your rising. 4 “ Lift up your eyes all around, and see: They all gather together, they come to you; Your sons shall come from afar, And your daughters shall be nursed at your side. Theres a day coming where you don't have go to the world as to think they have the solution, or imitate what they do. No, they will be coming to His people for the answer and want to imitate us. Haven't you noticed that the "church" want to imitate the world, they want to look like her, dress like her, act like her, and even speak like her. The only reason for that is because of no glory. But when the glory of God is revealed over us, the world will run to us. I believe there is a new sound arising in the church, I hear a new worship rising in the church and all other musical preferences will begin to quiet and even die out. I hear "revival worship", as things begin to get worse, Gods people will begin worship like never before. It will be our anthem of deliverance that will cause God to respond on our behalf. Get ready to rise and shine like never before, because the earth is groaning for the manifestation of the sons of God! Pastor

Impartation versus Inheritance

Several day ago the Lord began  ministering to me about the difference between an impartation and someone receiving an inheritance. The way i have understood it was, that only children inherit, which I still believe to be true. However what is the inheritance, and when does one inherit? Does someone have to die to receive an inheritance? At the same time what happens with an impartation and why it seem not to last? Well the Holy Spirit gave me a couple of scriptures that i believe will reveal some answers to these questions. 

First impartation, Numbers 11:17 Then I will come down and talk with you there. I Will Take Of The Spirit That Is Upon You And Will Put The Same Upon Them; and they shall bear the burden of the people with you, that you may not bear it yourself alone.

Numbers 11:25 Then the LORD came down in the cloud, and spoke to him, and took of the Spirit that was upon him, and placed the same upon the seventy elders; and it happened, when the Spirit rested upon them, that they prophesied, Although They Never Did So Again.

It says they never did so again.

I think we can say clearly that an impartation can be for an assignment, and even temporary or a specific period time.
The impartation can even last longer depending on the revelation of the one receiving the impartation. He imparted of Moses spirit, thats what an impartation a transferring of someone else's spirit for a specific purpose.

I imagine how frustrated a pastor must feel when thet impart into his people and it seems they can not sustain it but for a period of time. I feel the same way with some of my people, yet i need to understand that it was an impartation not an inheritance.

Now inheritance. Numbers 27:18 And the LORD said to Moses: “Take Joshua the son of Nun with you, a man in whom is the Spirit, and lay your hand on him; 19 set him before Eleazar the priest and before all the congregation, and inaugurate him in their sight. 20 And You Shall Give Some Of Your Authority To Him, that all the congregation of the children of Israel may be obedient. 21(B) At his word they shall go out, and at his word they shall come in, he and all the children of Israel with him—all the congregation.”

If an impartation can be for an assignment or temporary, than an inheritance should be a permanent new way of life. If i understand correctly, the inheritance a son receives from a spiritual father would be some of his Authority. Certainly that can occur when the child (nepios) has reached maturity and becomes a son (huios). In other words the son has "legal authority" to assumes his fathers way of life and blessing as a result. 

The same with Elijah and Elisha, He was hoping for an impartation but Elijah was interested in having an heir he could transfer to. Anyone can receive an impartation but sons receive an inheritance.
To conclude, no one has to die, because Moses was alive when he gave him some of his authority. Impartations may come and go but an inheritance can last forever. I may not have the same house, car, or live in the same city but If i can an inherit some of your authority, and anointing, I'll have your way of life.

Gods Favor and People!

I hope to be an inspiration, with what i'm about to write.

Two of many reasons why people leave a church, one you are moved by God, second the relationship has changed  certain people. However the reality is that we need people in our lives to help get to the place God has ordained for us..

The favor of God will work in conjunction with people. The favor of God to take you to the land of purpose you will need people.

Interestingly enough when God created the earth He also created man so he could govern it. Yet God also needed people to execute his plan here on earth. Here comes Adam to help God on earth, a key component.
That's why God will always use key people that are indispensable for the things of God to happen in your life.
We also have be careful, because the devil will use key people to hinder you, and that everything you have heard in your life concerning your purpose will not become a reality. 
People can be a blessing or a detriment. Right people enhance you wrong people will debilitated you.


We know so many people, but we need the favor of God to be a repellent to some people but be attractive to the right people, to accomplish his will.God can remove people from our lives that can hinder you, so please don't pray for people God has removed from you to come back..

People are the key for what God is doing in us!
It's impossible to have success alone, neither is failure .
Batman needed Robin, Lone Ranger need Tontoe. 
It's time to invest in the right relationships and not waste time because our greatest asset we posses is people.

Connection with people is a mandate, it's privilege and unavoidable. 
Sin did not manifest in the earth until there were two. Yet God said Its not good for man to be a lone.
Being alone is not good when it comes to fulfilling the purpose that God has ordained.
Alone you can not multiply, you can not increase, You can't govern.

Divine connection will raise you up, when they're not divine they crush you. 

Maybe you are the problem in relationship, so excuse yourself.

What God will begin to send in favor will come camouflaged in people.
New people, new connection, new things. 
Our life is precious but short in comparison to eternity.So it is important we live with an understanding of time.

Eccles 9:11 I returned and saw under the sun that— The race is not to the swift, Nor the battle to the strong, Nor bread to the wise, Nor riches to men of understanding, Nor favor to men of skill; But time and chance happen to them all. For man also does not know his time: Like fish taken in a cruel net, Like birds caught in a snare, So the sons of men are snared in an evil time, When it falls suddenly upon them.

When you know you have 33 years to live you better have an idea of what you were called to do. 
Thats why i want to share these five recomendations with you.
1. We don't have time to waste. 

2. Your life of relationships with people must change. 
Two ways, with the intensity that this could be your last on earth, but if you are awake in the morning, live as if you had a plan that will take 100 years. How much would your agenda change if you knew today would be your last day.

3. The time and calendar factor would become a determining factor in your life. 
When you begin to ask how long will it take me to accomplish this project, your going to need a watch and a calendar. You only have so many days on earth and you need to be productive. Thats why we need the right people in our lives,

4. Begin to invest your money in things that were not acceptable before, but are acceptable now. 
Now I understand the the factor of time.

5. The priorities of life would change. 
Being lethargic or passive about making decision or determinations in our lives can be costly even detrimental.
Usually its because we don't a revelation of how short our time here on earth is. I'm not talking about premature deaths.Life is short because God has placed so much in every one of us that our lives are not long enough to accomplish them.

Eccles. 3:10 I have observed the burden that God has given to people to keep them occupied. God has made everything fit beautifully in its appropriate time, but he has also placed ignorance(eternity) in the human heart so that people cannot discover what God has ordained, from the beginning to the end of their lives.

You have always existed for God.
People will help you waste time or people will help redeem time.
I want the favor of God so I can come across people in which will help me redeem time.. 
God uses people, to manifest His favor in our lives.


If you would have told me 18 months ago, that I would be experiencing Gods favor in the manner in which I'm sharing with you, I would have not believed you.
I also had an exodus of people leaving our ministry, however God has revealed his favor over us that he brought new people, relationship to our lives. You see God wanted to make us better, but he needed to remove the wrong  people, so he can get the right people in. At one time I thought people were a curse to me, but now i understand that the right people can be a blessing also. You see i didn't know how to get the wrong people out and the right people in, so God did it for me. Not that it was easy but it was needed. When Abraham had to tell his son  Ishmael to leave with his mother, i'm sure it was the hardest thing he had to do. Abraham realized that his future was in the balance. Thats why the right people will help you become the father of the faith, and a people or just another father.  Friend our time on earth is precious, we don't have much of it to waste. So i declare that God will favor you with the right people who will believe in, what God has placed in you..  Pastor Albert

It's Time To Grow Up!

Human beings are physical, spiritual, and emotional unities.

We relate to our environment with our bodies, and we relate to God through our spirits.

So, when you begin to have emotions that are threatening your joy and peace, or feelings that urge you to stray from God's plan for your life, do what Jesus did.  

Seek the Lord in prayer, and ask Him for the strength to feel those emotions, and do God's will anyways.  

Whenever Satan tries to plant a thought or emotion in my mind, the first step I must make is to recognize it as a threat!  

It's a threat to my joy, my peace, and my relationship with God.

The more you ignore your emotions, the less you will feel their control. 

Then you will have officially learned how to control emotions instead of allowing them to control you.

This is a secret of staying in faith..

Emotions Powerfully Affect Our Lives

Imagine what it would be like to be intelligent, volitional beings without emotions. We'd be like computers, machines with no sensitivity, no ability to relate, no sorrows, and no joys. That doesn't sound very appealing to me! 

Our emotions were given not to control us but to enable us to enjoy life.

Heb. 5:11 of whom we have much to say, and hard to explain, since you have become dull of hearing.12 For though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you again the first principles of the oracles of God; and you have come to need milk and not solid food. 13 For everyone who partakes only of milk is unskilled in the word of righteousness, for he is a babe. 14 But solid food belongs to those who are of full age, that is, those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.

Maturity is delayed when we become dull of hearing

Dull - no-thros' From a derivative of; sluggish, that is, (literally) lazy, or (figuratively) stupid:—dull, slothful.

Rom 12:2 And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

Transformed - met-am-or-fo'-o;  to transform (literally or figuratively “metamorphose”):—change, transfigure, transform.

What keeps us from thriving? 

What stunts our spiritual lives and frustrates our development? 

Why are we disappointed in the Christian life? 

Why does God seem far away, not intimate or near?

Sometimes this failure to thrive is caused by emotional obstacles that have crippled us, given us a wrong concept of God, or made us devalue our worth and the word.. 

When it comes to emotions we can't make our feelings the focus of our attention, as society today seems to have done with the motto, "If it feels good, do it." 

Ephesians 4:20 But you have not so learned Christ, 21if indeed you have heard Him and have been taught by Him, as the truth is in Jesus: 22 that you put off, concerning your former conduct, the old man which grows corrupt according to the deceitful lusts, 23 and be renewed in the spirit of your mind, 24 and that you put on the new man which was created according to God, in true righteousness and holiness.

Ephesians 4:11 And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers, 12for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ, 13till we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ; 14that we should no longer be children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in the cunning craftiness of deceitful plotting, 15but, speaking the truth in love, may grow up in all things into Him who is the head—Christ—

The bible doesn’t tell you how to live it shows you how to live.

We listen more to our feeling than we do to God, or the word.

You know how much counseling my wife and i have done in ministry?

We tell people don’t do this, or that, we warn them, give them versus of the bible.

We must go back to the Bible for some important facts and principles about how to handle our emotions in a godly manner, beginning with the idea that:

However people are more in tune with their feelings that they can hear good counsel.

people think that because i have invested so much emotionally in something i must not let it go to waste..

Beloved learn how to let things go.. Let it go!

Genesis 20:9  And Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian, whom she had borne to Abraham, scoffing. 10Therefore she said to Abraham, “Cast out this bondwoman and her son; for the son of this bondwoman shall not be heir with my son, namely with Isaac.” 11And the matter was very displeasing in Abraham’s sight because of his son.

Displeased- raw-ah'- A primitive root; (literally by broken to pieces); figuratively to make (or be) good for nothing, that is, bad (physically, socially or morally).  to afflict, associate selves by mistake , break (down, in pieces), + displease, do harm, (do) hurt self, (behave self, deal) ill, do mischief, punish, still vex, (do) wicked, be (deal, do) worse.

Other examples are plentiful: Selfishness is applauded and encouraged. 

Men and women walk out of marriages. 

Children are aborted, neglected, abused, and often left to raise themselves. 

Uncontrolled anger is exploding in random violence unparalleled in our history as a nation. 

All of this and more are the results of blindly following our feelings without any respect for God in our lives.

2 Cor 3:16 Nevertheless when one turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away. 17Now the Lord is the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. 18But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord.

The best way to mature people is unveil Jesus in the scripture..

We often think we can solve our spiritual needs with a change in our physical circumstances or moving to another city, changing a mate, changing churches, and some times those thing are needed but what we need is to grow up and be transformed.. 

We take a little vacation. We go to the mall and buy a whole new wardrobe. 

For others, it's living for pleasure. 

But those remedies are just Band-Aids or temporary anesthetics. 

2 Cor 3:14 But their minds were blinded. For until this day the same veil remains unlifted in the reading of the Old Testament, because the veil is taken away in Christ. 15But even to this day, when Moses is read, a veil lies on their heart.

Transformation comes as Jesus is read in the scriptures.

2 Cor 3:2 You are our epistle written in our hearts, known and read by all men; 3clearly you are an epistle of Christ, ministered by us, written not with ink but by the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of flesh, that is, of the heart.

Versus 7 thru 16 are in parenthesis  He is the spirit of the old testament. But they couldn’t see Him.

God wants our emotional stability to be based on our relationship with Him rather than on physical or chemical stimuli.

2 Cor 3:4 And we have such trust through Christ toward God. 5Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think of anything as being from ourselves, but our sufficiency is from God, 6who also made us sufficient as ministers of the new covenant, not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.

7But if the ministry of death, written and engraved on stones, was glorious, so that the children of Israel could not look steadily at the face of Moses because of the glory of his countenance, which glory was passing away, 8how will the ministry of the Spirit not be more glorious? 9For if the ministry of condemnation had glory, the ministry of righteousness exceeds much more in glory. 10For even what was made glorious had no glory in this respect, because of the glory that excels. 11For if what is passing away was glorious, what remains is much more glorious.
