BELIEVE IT AND IT IS YOURS

Mark 11:24 (KJV)

“Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them.”

Some of us suffer personal losses, and face financial hardships; the Bible teaches us that when facing such circumstances we can rely on prayer to get us through the toughest times.

I have personally suffered both, and currently the ministry is going through a rough patch, but I am in no way doubting that God will get us through these times.

How sad it is when believers knowing full well that God does not abandon us get weary about their financial situation, to the point of even doubting their faith or God when Jesus himself told us “Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them.” (Mark 11:24 KJV)

When facing financial hardship we should come to God single-mindedly asking Him if it is His will to provide a way for us to get out of that hardship, sticking to our supplication, decidedly asking even if it is for a specific amount for as long as you are not “double-minded” (James 1:8 KJV) and “ask in faith with no doubting” (James 1:6 KJV).

Agree with Matthew 18:19 and Mark 10:29-30, that which you prayed for is already yours, laying hold of it because we believe in our hearts; therefore we say it with our mouths, per 1 Timothy 6:19 and Mark 11:23, your one hundredfold is coming to you.

Bind the enemy and his forces in the Name of Jesus per Matthew 18:18 and 12:29, then loosen the forces of heaven asking the ministering spirits to cause your money to come to you as per Hebrews 1:14. Finally go back to the Scripture, to Mark 11:24 and drop to your knees praising God for you have already received if you faithfully believe.

BROTHERLY LOVE

2 Peter 1:7 (NLT)

“and godliness with brotherly affection, and brotherly affection with love for everyone.”

Sincere affection and love for our brothers involves selfless giving, a self-centered person can’t truly love. God’s love and forgiveness frees us to take our eyes of ourselves and to meet our brother’s needs. 

By sacrificing his life, Christ showed that he truly loves us. Now we can love each other by following his example and giving of ourselves sacrificially and affectionately.

ENCOURAGE EACH OTHER

Acts 14:22 (NLT)

“...They encouraged them to continue in the faith, reminding them that we must suffer many hardships to enter the Kingdom of God.”

Even though Paul and Barnabas knew that they faced dangers if they returned to Lystra, Iconium, and Antioch were they had been threatened and physically attacked; they did because they believed that they had a responsibility to encourage the believers in those cities. Like them we must support other believers who need help and encouragement regardless of how inconvenient or uncomfortable the task may be, how convenient or comfortable do you think it was for Jesus to go to the cross for us?

We all need to be encouraged, at one time or another, Barnabas originally named Joseph got the name Barnabas because he was such an encourager, Barnabas means “Son of Encouragement” and he was drawn to encourage those around him, however as he encouraged fellow Christians, non-Christians flocked to him and became believers.

So valuable were Barnabas’s actions that we could thank him for most of the New Testament. God used his relationship with Paul at one point to return to the cities were they had been threatened and beat, and then the same with John Mark when he encouraged him to go with him and Paul to Antioch.

First, it was Barnabas who met with Paul after his conversion when he arrived in Jerusalem and the Christians were so fearful of Paul, and then to convince them that Paul their former enemy was now a faithful believer in Jesus. Can you imagine what could have happened to Paul without Barnabas’s encouragement to him and to the other Christians?

Then he encouraged Mark to go with Paul and himself to Antioch, and when Paul did not want Mark to join them and went with Silas, Barnabas went a separate way with Mark and doubled up the missionary effort. Thanks to Barnabas’s patient and effective encouragement Mark went on to have such an effective ministry and later reunited with Paul in their missionary efforts.

Unlike Barnabas some of us criticize others because of their shortcomings instead of encouraging them, let’s instead build up that brother or sister, husband or wife, friend and definitely other Christians with encouragement, we must build their trust with encouragement. Take the time and accept the opportunity to encourage anyone that you come in contact with today just like Barnabas did.

SATAN IS THE REASON FOR OUR REDEMPTION

John 16:11 (KJV)

“Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged.”

Without Satan there would have been no need for redemption, we inherit the Kingdom of God and are redeemed only through Jesus’s victory over Satan. Without His victory there could have been no redemption.

Satan’s was defeated by Jesus through a three prong approach;

1. His walk on earth as a man

2. His crucifixion as the ultimate sacrifice

3. Our becoming a new creation through redemption

As the new creation, we have been given the authority to master over Sasan, we have the right to wear “THE WHOLE ARMOR OF GOD” (Ephesians 6:10-17 KJV), having His nature dwelling within us.

Satan never figured he had to deal with God face to face, first through Jesus and now with us. For when he deals with us as the new creation he is dealing with His heirs filled with the Holy Spirit (Galatians 4:6-7 KJV).

Rayed Redemption Inmate Children’s Fund

Euless, Texas, May 30, 2015 - Rayed Redemption Prison Ministry of Texas and California introduces its Inmates Children’s Fund program to help vulnerable younger children from struggling homes get a better chance in life.

Rayed Redemption Inmate Children’s Fund

Rayed Redemption Ministry Senior Pastor David Barberis announced details of an expansion of the ministry, to help vulnerable children with incarcerated parent/s from struggling homes to get a better chance in life through their education.

“According to an August 19, 2013 article published by Alternet.org there were 2,266,800 inmates in Federal and State Prisons, and County Jails at the end of the year 2011per the U.S. Bureau of Justice Statistics,” “at the end of 2010 there were 2.7 million children in the U.S. who have a parent in prison or jail, 1 out of every 28 children under 18 in the U.S. has a parent incarcerated per Sociologists Bruce Western and Becky Petit in that same article.” Said Barberis

The program will focus on these children by providing them with school supplies and backpacks for the start of the 2015-2016 school year and as finances and supplies permit expand into providing clothing and shoes.

Bishop-Dr. Leerma Patterson-Lemons states that “children of the incarcerated have been neglected with a large percentage even ending in Foster Homes, further advancing the breakup of these children’s families.” She added “The final goal is to create a scholarship that will allow us to give school supplies, teach, mentor and follow these student through their educational journey.”

“At Rayed Redemption we understand that truancy, crime and anti-social behavior, could be the norm for some of these children, by providing for their needs research shows that when properly equipped these children will develop a positive attitude and self-worth, miss fewer school days, demonstrate improved classroom behavior, and achieve higher test scores.” Rayed Redemption Prison Ministry’s co-founder Carmen Ramos said.

Further Pastor Ervin Hill in California says that “while we reach out and help the inmates themselves and their families, it is imperative that we also focus on the children as they adjust to such traumatic experience, and we cannot stop at the prison gate, we must be involved and supportive at their most vulnerable times.”

“There are thousands of individuals and families living troubled lives blighted by crime, and truancy because of the household economy that they face, our current national economic situation and the unfortunate circumstances that face these children have them facing an uphill battle, our mission is to ensure that these children get to enjoy a learning experience on a level playing ground by equipping them with the supplies they need to learn. And a brand new attitude in life.” Said Barberis

Thanks to community support, Rayed Redemption Prison Ministry Children's Fund will provide outstanding program services to inmate’s children that are in need of school supplies and clothing, after school tutoring, and cultural/educational events throughout the year.

In order for us to provide services to these at risk children, we are asking for support of In-Kind Donations and Monetary Donations.

MORE THAN OVERCOMERS

Romans 8:28 (NLT)

“And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them.”

Yes, God does work in “everything” for our good not some isolated incidents. As believer we are not left to our own resources to cope with problems, even when praying for when we do not even know the words to say when we pray the Holy Spirit prays with and for us.

Now this does not mean that only good things happen to us. Evil is prevalent in our fallen world however God is able to turn everything single circumstance around for our long-range good. God is not working to make us happy but to fulfill his purpose.

Also God's promise is not for everybody, it can only be claimed by those who love Him and are called by Him, meaning, those that have been convinced by the Holy Spirit to receive Jesus Christ. Those of us that receive Christ have a new perspective, and a new mind-set. We trust in God not some worldly treasures, our security is in heaven, not on earth. Our faith in God can never waver in pain and persecution because we know that God is with us, thus we become more like Christ at which point we become more than just overcomers.

WE ARE CHILDREN OF GOD NOT PRACTICING SINNERS

1 John 3:8-9 (NLT)

“But when people keep on sinning, it shows that they belong to the devil, who has been sinning since the beginning. But the Son of God came to destroy the works of the devil. Those who have been born into God’s family do not make a practice of sinning, because God’s life is in them. So they can’t keep on sinning, because they are children of God.

“They cant keep on sinning, because they are children of God.” Very powerful statement made by John meaning that as true believers we do not make a practice of sinning, nor do we become indifferent to God’s moral laws. We all still sin, but we are working to gain victory over sin.

We all have areas where temptation is still strong and old habits are hard to conquer giving the enemy a chance to gain a foothold so we have to deal with these areas of vulnerability. John is not talking about our incomplete victory, no he is talking about those who make a practice of sinning and then go looking for ways to justify it.

These are three necessary steps to gain victory over sin;

1. Seek the power of the Holy Spirit and God’s Word

2. Stay away from tempting situations

3. Seek the help of the body of Christ

We have got to be willing to have our brothers and sisters hold us accountable and to pray for us.

When we are born again the Holy Spirit comes and lives in us giving us Jesus’ new life. Being born again is more than getting a fresh start, it means getting a new life, a rebirth into a new family, the family of Christ which could only have happened because of His death for us. At that point God has forgiven us and totally accepts us into His family, and the Holy Spirit gives us a new mind and heart. He begins to help us become like Christ. Our perspective changes because we have a mind that is daily renewed by the Holy Spirit per Romans 12:2 and Ephesians 4:22-24. 

So we have to think and act differently. “Let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think...” (Romans 12:2 NLT), “...You must display a new nature because you are a new person, created in God’s likeness-righteous, holy, and true.” (Ephesians 4:24b).
