ACTS 20:32:
"NOW I AM PUTTING YOU IN THE CARE OF GOD AND THE MESSAGE ABOUT HIS GRACE. IT IS ABLE TO GIVE YOU STRENGTH, AND IT WILL GIVE YOU THE BLESSINGS GOD HAS FOR ALL HIS HOLY PEOPLE."
This is the way to succeed, by being careful to receive from God what He has in the way of care for you. Paul put them in His care, and gave the message of Jesus Christ to them... To be successful, is to have this attitude.
If Jesus said it, I believe it!

2 TIMOTHY
2 TIMOTHY CHAPTERS 1-4:
Author: Paul
Date: A.D. 66/67
Theme: The Commitment to Ministry
Key Words: Fight, Charge, and Instruct
The Background Information on 2 Timothy is as follows;
As far as we can determine, Paul was released from the Roman imprisonment shortly after the writing of Acts and he went on his mission travels and went to Spain. During Nero's time he persecuted the Christians and placed Paul once again in prison. His arrest was probably in Troas (4:13), and he was taken then to Roman. The second imprisonment was different from the first where he had bought his own dwellings and was able to have visiors. This time he is in a dungeon where friends could see him, but with great difficulty. He looked forward to death this time and wrote in (4:6-8), about it. Luke was with Paul at this writings (4:11), the others had left for various reasons.
The Occasion for the Letter was as follows;
The letter was occasioned by Paul's deep concern for Timothy's needs as a minister of the Gospel and the protection of it, and the responiblies. Paul's need as well was to charge Timothy, and to incourage his stand, knowing that he wanted him to come to him but knew he might not get to him before his death. He ask Timothy to give himself wholeheartedly to his task. As for Paul, he needed certain personal effects (4:13) and in his loneliness desired to see Timothy and Mark (4:9-11). There is little question that Paul wrote this letter shorly before his death. Therefore, since he was probably executed before Nero's death in A.D. 68, the letter may be dated around 66/67.
Paul's purpose and personal applying of this letter was to show his affectionate appeal to Timothy to come to him (4:9,11,13,21). However, Paul's main concern was the welfare of the church, and he gave Timothy instructions for perfecting its organization and safeguarding the gospel. With the realization that his death was imminent, and that Timothy might not reach him in time for a final visit, Paul wrote solemn words of admonition. His preoccupation was with the gospel of Jesus Christ and expressing this to Timothy and the young coworkers of his, that they to would faithfully transmith the gospel after the warrior's death. The letter urges Timothy to be faithful in the face of hardships, desertions, and error.
We want to meditate on these facts; First, Paul had paid the price of knowledge of Jesus Christ and he stated in other writings that he carried them in his body. He was writing to Timothy and Mark and the younger men and women who were walking and standing in a mannor of faith and order. He expressed in his letters always a need for more Timothy's that would devote themselves to the gospel in a worthy manner.
for the most part he didn't in the ususalterse and to the point way, but with a tender, warm and affectionate spirit. This letter in 2 Timothy showed to be a personal note containing the apostle's last will and testament.
I would like to add at this time that all of us with Paul and Timothy read the letter with a contrite heart, already circumsized by Christ, made flesh, and humbled by Truth, to serve the Lord with Gladness, and with a fresh oil anointing at hand.

Wandering Prophets
PROVERBS 21:16:
"A MAN WHO WANDERS FROM THE WAY OF UNDERSTANDING WILL REST IN THE ASSEMBLY OF THE DEAD."
When we sing praises with understanding about what we know that God Is and Does on our behalf, we have joined the living in heaven in agreement. In Psalms 48:1-11; It is a song that was sung by the sons of Korah giving praises to the Glory of God shown in Zion. Mount Zion was Jerusalem and her sister was Judah which means praise. Prophecy has spoken of the fear of kings that passed Her, it would touble them so that they ran away, it would grip them as birth pangs do a woman giving birth.
In Psalms it states in verse 8 of 48; "AS WE HAVE HEARD, SO WE HAVE SEEN IN THE CITY OF THE LORD OF HOSTS, IN THE CITY OF OUR GOD: GOD WILL ESTABLISH IT FOREVER."
I believe this is just the season for Israel to think on the lovingkindness of His for Her, and in His praises give His Name Honor. That is what will take place, the Honor of His Prophetic Word to Jerusalem and all of Judah, and the Mount of Zion and the daughters of Judah will be happy and glad of His Name being Decreed there....
I believe God is saying I will judge My Word to them....

STAND UP!
ACTS 26:16,17b-18:
"STAND UP! I HAVE CHOSEN YOU TO BE MY SERVANT AND MY WITNESS--YOU WILL TELL PEOPLE THE THINGS THAT YOU HAVE SEEN AND THE THINGS THAT I WILL SHOW YOU. THIS IS WHY I HAVE COME TO YOU TODAY. I AM SENDING YOU TO THEM TO OPEN THEIR EYES SO THAT THEY MAY TURN AWAY FROM DARKNESS TO THE LIGHT, AWAY FROM THE POWER OF SATAN AND TO GOD. THEN THEIR SINS CAN BE FORGIVEN, AND THEY CAN HAVE A PLACE WITH THOSE PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN MADE HOLY BY BELIEVING IN ME."
This Word of The Lord's to me and all who He has anointed with His Blood, is to be taken as a prophetic moving Word. We are bought out of Satans power, given Life and renewed spirit, with His Blood and Fire baptism by The Holy Spirit, and Jesus Christ gives us His Name, stamped on our heads, marked for all eternity for the Kingdom of Heaven.
Here is the warning to all of us...
1.)Don't change the Word of God and to make it less.
2.)Don't be more than you are, but you don't have to be less either.
3.)He is able to keep all His Word and to tell you everything.

Traveling with Jesus
LUKE 8:2
"AND CERTAIN WOMEN, WHICH HAD BEEN HEALED OF EVIL SPIRITS AND INFIRMITIES, MARY CALLED MAGDALENE, OUT OF WHO, WENT SEVEN DEVILS."
Jesus traveled thought towns and villages with His apostles and some of the women, and Mary called Magdalene was one of them. Jesus had ministered deliverance to her and the other women that travel with Him. In this they shared their wealth with the ministry.
A prophetic movement was going on, and in this Way that Jesus was preaching and bring good news of the Kingdom of God, He brought healing and a new way of life to all involved. When you give a Word to a person, and the Lord is the One that they are looking to, there will come renewed, resurrected, restored thinking to that person. That is what the prophetic was sent by God the Father to do.
The Kingdom of God is like a sower going out with seed to sow into the ground. Depending on the substance of the soil, is what you will have coming up. What is up and what you see and how strong it is and productive, depends on if the root is strong, firm in place, and has all the water and minerals needed, along with the Son.
Jesus brought Life with the Word to all who heard and believed.

WOMEN OF GOD
JOHN 20:21:
"AS MY FATHER SENT ME, I NOW SEND YOU."
This verse refers to Jesus speaking about Daddy God, Whom He was begotten by, and Who put His Seed, (Physical Sperm of God) in Mary the female decendent of Adam and Eve's, through Abraham's child Jacob, and Jacob's child Judah. This person was still carrying the Tree of Knowledge in her flesh, egg, by transferrance of the ferilization process. The only One Who could cancel this out of the RNA/DNA of God's which was in Adam and Eve, was God Himself. So, He sent His Son Jesus with His Blood in Him to go to the Tree, to cancel our debt, and to bring us back into the Birthing canal, as you might call it, and everyone who believes God did do this through His Son Jesus, is Born of Him, Isaiah 43:6-7; "I WILL SAY TO THE NORTH, 'GIVE THEM UP!' AND TO THE SOUTH, 'DON'T HOLD THEM BACK! BRING MY SONS FROM FAR AWAY, AND MY DAUGHTERS FROM THE ENDS OF THE EARTH, EVERYONE WHO BEARS MY NAME, WHOM I CREATED FOR MY GLORY--I FORMED HIM, YES, I MADE HIM.'"
We are called by His Name Jesus, now. We are sons of God through Jesus Christ now, and woman is a son of God, just like in the beginning before Adam named her Eve, mother of man, SHE was called Adam.
Now history repeats itself, and we women of God, who are Born of Him, are called sons of God, through Jesus Christ.

If My People
CHRONICLES 7:14:
"IF MY PEOPLE, WHO ARE CALLED BY MY NAME, WILL HUMBLE THEMSELVES AND PRAY AND SEEK MY FACE AND TURN FROM THEIR WICKED WAYS, THEN WILL I HEAR FROM HEAVEN AND WILL FORGIVE THEIR SIN AND HEAL THEIR LAND."
When a person who belongs to Jesus Christ by the Birthing of God, has come to the point of their lives where their hearts are so harden by sin, heaven doesn't hear their hearts speaking. But whenever a person who belongs to Jesus Christ by birth, rips their hearts open an says in their hearts, "I want what God says," THEN, He hears from heaven what that heart has to say, and will heal and forgive, but not until He says in His Word.
A prophet who is sent to do a positional work or give a authority Word from God can't do that for a person, not even for their own child, without God saying He has heard their cry... We are not the ones who decide.
Long ago in our Biblical History, a prophet was sent to give a Word to one with authority, he was told by God not to eat with them, or leave the same way he went after giving the Word of the Lord. 1 King's 13:1-34; was the place of referance.
Here is a perfect example of God hearing from Heaven and what He has to say He backs up. Jeroboam's hand dried up when he tried to touch the man of God because he didn't like the Word of the Lord.
When the prophet hardened his heart towards the Word to him, he was killed by a lion.
We all are responible for what we hear and to guard our hearts, to let the Word of God speak for Itself.
