  • “God Will Make Away Part #1”

    Beloved, in this world there will be a situation that will arise in your life that you’ll ask yourself, “how am I going to get out of this?”

  • ” Jesus Will Provide the Overflow”

    The Over flow

    Praise the Lord Beloved. Happy Sunday.
    our morning verse is Hebrews 12:1-2 (NLT), and it reads this way:
    (1) Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a huge crowd of witnesses to the life of faith, let us strip off every weight that slows us down, especially the sin that so easily trips us up. And let us run with endurance the race God has set before us. (2) We do this by keeping our eyes on Jesus, the champion who initiates and perfects our faith. Because of the joy awaiting him, he endured the cross, disregarding its shame. Now he is seated in the place of honor beside God’s throne.

    Beloved, I want to speak briefly to you about chastising the flesh. when I say chastise I’m actually speaking of discipling. You know, for many Christians the word chastise stimulates memories of frustration for some and failure for others. Every one of us that are Bible believers knows it’s imperative to keep our flesh under control. We know that the Word of God clearly teaches this. Beloved, we must be overbearing when it comes to keeping our flesh in check.

    Now, there maybe someone reading this thought-provoking word that is just not sure exactly how to do this, maybe someone reading this thought-provoking word may want to give up, maybe someone reading this thought-provoking word will want to ignore this because they believe such discipline is impossible, and maybe someone reading this thought-provoking word is still fighting stubbornly to get their flesh under control but continue to lose one encounter after another.

    Well Beloved this morning I want you to know that it doesn’t have to be that way!!! 😀 In fact, we can’t afford to let it be that way!!! 😀 It will cost us too much.

    Beloved, you and I are blessed to be part of the generation that will see the signs and wonders which the prophets of old wished they could have lived long enough to see. We’ll witness the Spirit of God poured out upon “ALL” flesh. But sin hinders the Spirit’s flow. And only as we purge ourselves of it will the power and glory of God be manifest through us. Only then will we experience the glorious things that are prophesied to take place in our generation.

    So, put your past failure behind you. 😀 Make up your mind that you’re not going to let the sins of the flesh rob you of the glory of God. It’s possible to step out of the sin you’ve struggled with for so long and live under the Spirit’s control.

    Beloved, look to Jesus!!! 😀 He’ll show you how. He’ll provide you with the overflow to control the flesh.

    Have a blessed Sunday Everyone.

  • “Executed Life”

    “CHOF Bible Fellowship’s Sunday Morning Message”Executed With Christ.pngPraise the Lord Beloved

    Beloved, if you believe in the death of the Lord Jesus and you believe in the death of the thieves with Him then you believe just as most Christians believe.

    Now, allow me to ask you this question: What about your own death? Do you realize your executions is more intimate than theirs? If you didn’t realize it, I’m here to tell you it is. Sure, they were executed at the same time as the Lord but on different crosses, whereas you were executed on the very same cross as the Lord. You see, you were in Him when He died. How do you know this? You know this by one sufficient reason, and that reason is, God said so.

    Beloved it’s not about what you feel or think. When God speaks He deliver’s divine facts. Beloved, Christ died is a fact, that the two thieves on the cross next to Him died is a fact, and you died on the cross with Him is a fact also.

    Beloved, let me tell you, “YOU” HAVE DIED!!! “YOU” is done with!!! “YOU” is ruled out!!! The self you despised is on the Cross of Christ. Romans 6:7 (Amp) says: “For the person who has died [with Christ] has been freed from [the power of] sin”. This is the Gospel for all Christians.
    Our execution can never be made effective by our will or our effort. It becomes effective only by accepting “believing” what the Lord Jesus did on the Cross.

    Our eyes must be opened to see the finished work of Calvary.

    Now, some of you, prior to your salvation, may have tried to save yourselves. Sure, you’ve read the Bible, you’ve prayed, gone to church, gave your tithes and even donated to a charity. You really thought your eyes were opened!!!

    Then one day your eyes were really opened. The things you thought you knew and saw become even more clearer and out of nowhere new knowledge has become available for use immediately. That’s because you are now walking in full salvation!!! Beloved, your full salvation has always been there for you, God had provided it for you when you were executed on the cross with Him. But you could not receive the effects of your gift from God until you fully accepted -believed in your execution on the cross with Him.

    Beloved, you been walking about in this life without the full effect of your full salvation. WOW!!!

    All you had to do is accept and really believe, then thank God and began to enjoy the full range of peace and joy that is now flowing freely into your heart.

    Now, I have some Good News for you!!! The Good News I have for you is, your blessings are now available to you based on exactly the same basis as your initial salvation. HALLELUJAH!!!!!!!!

    You’re now offered deliverance from sin you’re no longer alienated from God’s grace. God’s Grace and Mercy will now fully forgive you of sins.

    God’s way of deliverance is far different from man’s way. You see, man’s way tries to defeat sin by looking for ways to dazzle it with rituals and traditions. But, God’s way is to remove the sinner.

    I have found that many Christians will inject themselves with the spirit of sorrow when it comes to their weakness. Their thought is not that they can “do all things through Christ Jesus who strengthens them”. Their thought is if only they were stronger all would be well.

    Beloved, if we’re preoccupied with the power of sin and with our inability to meet it, then we naturally conclude that to gain the victory over sin we must have MORE power.

    Beloved, this a fallacy!!! THIS IS NOT CHRISTIANITY!!! God’s means of delivering us from sin isn’t by making us stronger and stronger, but by making us weaker and weaker. In order for us to receive from God we have to decrease.

    I’m sure there are going to be many of you reading this that will say: “Bishop Houston this is certainly a strange way to get victory”. I would agree with you if I was looking at it from a carnal viewpoint. But, I’m not so, I must disagree with you because, I look at it from the divine way. You see, God sets us free from the dominion of sin, not by strengthening our old man but by crucifying him, not by helping him to do anything, but by removing him from the scene of action.

    Beloved, maybe you have tried ineffectively to exercise control over yourself, and perhaps this is still your experience. But, once you see the truth, you’ll recognize that you’re indeed powerless to do anything.

    Beloved, God has set you a part. Everything up to this point God has carried you through and I’m sure you’ll agree with me when I say, “He’s done well”.

    Beloved, with your new discovery brings spiritual motivation and spiritual efforts to the end.

    Have blessed Sunday Everyone!!! 😀

  • “Jesus Is The Reason For The Season – or Is He? Pt. 2”

    Beloved, many people are losing their focus and love for the real reason for the season and are showing more motivated passion toward a mythical man-made illusion. This morning I present to you Part 2 of My 2 Part series entitled: “Jesus Is The Reason For The Season – or Is He? Pt. 2”
