"I t is important to know that God is a king, and his kingdom does not run by democratic means are rule. People who are grown up in Republic and Democratic countries seem to have a hard time in comprehend how God works, since we are salted to think accordingly to the concepts of our form of government, in comparing it with God. If you and I are going to serve God we will need to read the Bible so as to get into the mind and thinking of God.
First you will need to understand how God work. God do not use a magic wand. God has angelic servants along with the Holy Spirit that is working behind the seen. These two forces of being carry out God’s command. The same way, in which the Holy Spirit along with the angels carries out God’s commands behind the seen, it is the same way in which the Holy Spirit and the angelic forces carry out the human servants of God command, here on earth. When we put our hands and somebody and commanded them to be heals, the spirit of God go forth and heals the person if certain requirement on the person’s part, and on the preacher’s part or met.
Genesis 1:2-4 (KJV) And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. [3] And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. [4] And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.
Job 26:13-14 (KJV) By his spirit he hath garnished the heavens; his hand hath formed the crooked serpent. [14] Lo, these are parts of his ways: but how little a portion is heard of him? But the thunder of his power who can understand?
If somebody comes to our churches and is sick, the person ask for prayer to be heal, a servants of God who God enable to work in the arias of heals could pray for the sick person and the Holy Spirit will listen to God’s servant prayers and heal the person. There are conditions that the sick person has to meet, he she must believe that it is God that is going to heal them and not the voodoo priests that they went to the day before. God do not want any credit that must be given to him go to Satan. The sick person must be willing to forgive. Even before the preacher lay his hand on the sick person, the Holy Spirit already communicate to the sick person spirit and told them to forgive others. If the person refuses to forgive, then God cannot heal them. Some of the time the sickness is brought on by feeling of hate, that the person been dragging around for a long time.
IF ALL YOU KNOW ABOUT GOD IS WHAT YOU HEAR FROM MAN, YOU KNOW NOTHING.
James 1:6-8 (KJV) But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. [7] For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord. [8] A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.
God do not listen to evildoers, nor double minded people, the love, love God that you hear about, God is in some way just like you and me.
MOST PREACHERS ARE IN THE GOSPEL FOR MONEY, AND THEREFORE DO NOT WANT TO GIVE YOU TRUTH THAT YOU DID NOT WANT ANY WAY.
Isaiah 30:10 (KJV) Which say to the seers, See not; and to the prophets, Prophesy not unto us right things, speak unto us smooth things, prophesy deceits:
Jeremiah 5:31 (KJV) The prophets prophesy falsely, and the priests bear rule by their means; and my people love to have it so: and what will ye do in the end thereof?
Luke 6:26 Woe unto you, when all men shall speak well of you! for so did their fathers to the false prophets.
GOD IS IN SOME WAYS JUST LIKE US.
Proverbs 8:17 (KJV) I love them that love me; and those that seek me early shall find me.
1 Peter 5:5 (KJV) Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves unto the elder. Yea, all of you be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble.
GOD WILL NOT DO FOR YOU WHAT YOU WILL NOT DO FOR OTHERS.
Micah 6:8 (KJV) He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the Lord require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?
Jeremiah 9:23-24 (KJV) Thus saith the Lord, Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, neither let the mighty man glory in his might, let not the rich man glory in his riches: [24] But let him that glorieth glory in this, that he understandeth and knoweth me, that I am the Lord which exercise lovingkindness, judgment, and righteousness, in the earth: for in these things I delight, saith the Lord.
Matthew 6:14-15 For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you: [15] But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.
Do not bother to waste time asking God to help you pass the test if you did not at least do your part and study.
GOD WATCHES OUR ACTIONS TOWARD EACH OTHER.
1 John 4:20 (KJV) If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen?
IF YOU ARE NOT READY TO DO WHAT GOD SAY, HE WILL NOT DO YOUR BIDDING.
Galatians 5:7 (KJV) Ye did run well; who did hinder you that ye should not obey the truth?
Luke 6:45-46 (KJV) A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil: for of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh.
Luke 6:46 (KJV) And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?

Come back for update soon.
Proverbs 3:6 in all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.
Psalm 34:8 (NASB-U) O taste and see that the Lord is good; How blessed is the man who takes refuge in Him!
HOW TO BECOME A CHRISTIAN.
Isaiah 7:11 (ASV) Ask thee a sign of Jehovah thy God; ask it either in the depth, or in the height above. Isaiah 7:12 (ASV) But Ahaz said, I will not ask, neither will I tempt Jehovah.
Ezekiel 18:32 (ASV) For I have no pleasure in the death of him that dieth, saith the Lord Jehovah: wherefore turn yourselves, and live.
First you must recognize that you are a sinner and need God mercy.
1 Peter 2:24 (Living) He personally carried the load of our sins in his own body when he died on the cross so that we can be finished with sin and live a good life from now on. For his wounds have healed ours!
YOU MUST KNOW THAT YOU CANNOT SAVE YOURSELF.
2 Peter 3:18 (ASV) But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be the glory both now and for ever. Amen.
Zech. 4:7 (KJV) Who art thou, O great mountain? before Zerubbabel thou shalt become a plain: and he shall bring forth the headstone thereof with shoutings, crying, Grace, grace unto it.
Eph 2:8 The Message Bible” “Saving is all his idea, and all his work. All we do is trust him enough to let him do it. It's God's gift from start to finish! Eph 2:9 We don't play the major role. If we did, we'd probably go around bragging that we'd done the whole thing!” There nothing you could do to save yourself , the only thing you could do is bowed your head and ask God to save you.
You must believe that there is a God.
No other person can save you except Jesus.
Acts 4:12 (Living) There is salvation in no one else! Under all heaven there is no other name for men to call upon to save them."
Then you must know that God invites you to come to him.
Do not wait until tomorrow to get save.
2Co 6:2 The Message Bible. “God reminds us, I heard your call in the nick of time; The day you needed me, I was there to help. Well, now is the right time to listen, the day to be helped.”
Delay not your conversion to the lord, put it not off from day to day. Remember that tomorrow is promise to no man. Accept the lord, go home and continue with your life, if the lord.. If the lord saves you in bad life style, he has some plan up his sleeve how to get you out of it, give him time to work out his salvation in your life.
WHOSEOEVER SHALL CALL.
Romans 10:13 (KJV) For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
Ezekiel 33:11 (KJV) Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord God, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel?
Now bow your head and pray this prayer.
From this day onward you will begin to feel a flood of joy and peace full your heart and mind. You must confess Jesus to others with your mouth. Tell what great thing the lord had done for you. Romans 10:9 (Living) For if you tell others with your own mouth that Jesus Christ is your Lord and believe in your own heart that God has raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
Then you need to start reading the bible, start reading from St Mathew.
THE LORD WILL MAKE YOU HOLY IN HIS OWN TIME.
OUR BODY WAS NOT REEDEM AT CONVERSION.
Rom 8:21 that the creation itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the liberty of the glory of the children of God. Rom 8:22 For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now. Rom 8:23 And not only so, but ourselves also, who have the first-fruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for our adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body.
OUR VILE BODY WILL BE CHANGE AT THE RETURN OF JESUS.
THE SINS OF THE BODY WILL NOT BE CONQUERED LITERALY BY ALL SAINTS WHILE LIVING ON EARTH.
When the Lord redeemed us our body was not redeem, it was our spirit and soul. The changes took place in our spirit man. Not the body. The body will still continue to sin. If the believer do not know this they will become worried as to why am I still lusting? And became eaten up with guilt to the point where they experience no peace and joy.
Even though our body were not redeem, we who wanting to live up to certain standard, to please society, must bring our body into subjection, even thou we do not do that to buy salvation. But to prevent Satan from capitalized on it. But to bring this body into subjection take time. We saw belivers at the judgment seat of Christ in heaven being judge for the deeds of the body.
1 Cor. 9:27 (NASB-U)but I discipline my body and make it my slave, so that, after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified.
2 Cor. 2:11 (NASB-U) so that no advantage would be taken of us by Satan, for we are not ignorant of his schemes.
Romans 12:1 (GW)Brothers and sisters, in view of all we have just shared about God's compassion, I encourage you to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, dedicated to God and pleasing to him. This kind of worship is appropriate for you.
2 Cor. 12:7 (NASB-U)Because of the surpassing greatness of the revelations, for this reason, to keep me from exalting myself, there was given me a thorn in the flesh, a messenger of Satan to torment me—to keep me from exalting myself!
SOME THING YOU OVERCAME IT BY IMPUTED GRACE.
“I saw a river of blood, flows from Calvary Mountain, I am in it and your are in it, and I am clean, clean” By Smith Wiggle worth.
We can sing with the song writer" I rise walk in heaven’s own light above the world and sin with heart made pure and garments white, and Christ en-throned with in. The cleansing stream I see I see I plunge, and O It cleans-eth me. O praise the Lord, it cleans-eth me, it cleans-eth me yes, cleans-eth me."
HOW TO CONTINUE IN THE FAITH.
The first thing you will need to know is this. Beware of people who come laying hands on you say they are filling you with the Holy Ghost. That is how people get possess with demonic spirits. God will give you every thing you need to fit you out for his service in his own times. You do not need to push any thing nor to make any thing happen. Wait until God make it happen.
A NEW MIND-SET.
Eph 4:22 That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts; Eph 4:23 And be renewed in the spirit of your mind; Eph 4:24 And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness. Eph 4:25 Wherefore putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbour: for we are members one of another.
GIVE YOURSELF AWAY TO THE THINGS OF GOD.
Jer 29:13 The Message Bible. "When you come looking for me, you'll find me. "Yes, when you get serious about finding me and want it more than anything else,
