In Matthew 6 Jesus teaches us about the keys to living. Please read them and pray about them in your life. Which areas are weak in your life? Which are strong?
Matthew 6:16-18 (Fasting)
And when you fast, don't make it obvious, as the hypocrites do, for they try to look miserable and disheveled so people will admire them for their fasting. I tell you the truth, that is all the reward they will ever get. But when you fast, comb your hair and wash your face. Then no one will notice that you are fasting, except your father, who knows what you do in private. And your father who sees everything will reward you.
Matthew 6:19-24 (Money)
Don't store up treasures on earth, where moths eat them and rust destroys them, and where thieves break in and steal. Store your treasures in heaven, where moths and rust cannot destroy and where thieves do not break in and steal. Where ever your treasure is, there the desires of your heart will also be. Your eye is the lamp that provides light to the body. When your eye is good, your whole body is filled with lights. But when your eye is bad, your whole body is filled with darkness. And if the light you think you have is actually darkness, how deep that darkness is! No one can serve two masters. For you will hate one and love the other, you will be devoted to one and despise the other. You can not serve both God and money!
Matthew 6:25-34 (Don't Worry)
That is why tell you don't worry about everyday life - whether you have enough food and drink, or enough clothes to wear. Isn't life more than food, and your body more than clothing? Look at the birds. They don't plant or harvest or store food in barns, for your heavenly father feeds them. And aren't you far more valuable to him than they are? Can your worries add a single moment to your life? And why worry about your clothing? Look at the lilies of the field and how they grow. They don't worry work or make their clothing, yet Solomon in all his glory was not dressed as beautifully as they are. And if God cares so wonderfully for wildflowers that are here today and thrown into the fire tomorrow, he will certainly care for you. Why do you have so little faith? So don't worry about these things saying, "what will we eat? What will we drink? What will we wear? These things dominate the thoughts of unbelievers, but your heavenly father already knows all your needs. Seek the kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need. So don't worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring its own worries. Today's trouble is enough for today.
Matthew 7:1-6 (Judging Others)
Do not judge others, and you will not be judged. For you will be treated as you treat others. The standards by which you use in judging others is the standard by which you will be judged. And why worry about a speck in your friends eye, when you have a log in your own? How can you think of saying to your friend, "let me help you get rid of that speck in your eye," when you can't see past the log in your own eye? Hypocrite! First get rid of the log in your eye, then you will see well enough to deal with the speck in your friends eye. Don't waste what is holy on people who are unholy. Don't throw your pearls to pigs! They will trample the pearls, then turn and attach you.
Matthew 7:7-11 (Asking, Looking, Knocking)
Keep asking, and you will receive what you ask for. Keep seeking and you will find. Keep knocking, and the door will be opened for you. For everyone who asks, receives. Everyone who seeks, finds. And everyone who knocks, the door will be opened. You parents - if your children ask for a loaf of bread, do you give them a stone instead? Or if they ask for a fish, do you give them a snake? Of course not! So if you sinful people know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly father give good gifts to those who ask him.
Matthew 7:12 )The Golden Rule)
Do unto others what you would have them do unto you. This is the essence of all that is taught in the law and the prophets.
Matthew 7:13-14 (The Way to Heaven)
You can enter God's Kingdom only through the narrow gate. The highway to hell is broad, and it's gate is wide open for many who choose that way. But the gateway to life is very narrow and few ever find it.
Matthew 7:15-20 (The Fruit People Produce in Their Lives)
Beware of false prophets who come disguised as harmless sheep but are really vicious wolves. You can identify them by their fruit, that is by the way act. Can you pick grapes from thorn bushes, or figs from thistles? A good tree produces good fruit, and a bad tree produces bad fruit. A good tree can't produce bad fruit, and a bad tree can not produce good fruit. So every tree that does not produce good fruit is chopped down and thrown into the fire. Yes, just as you can identify a tree by it's fruit, so you can identify people by their actions.
Matthew 7:21-29 (Building Your Life on a Solid Foundation)
Not everyone who calls out to me, Lord! Lord! will enter the kingdom of heaven. Only those who actually do the will of my father in heaven will enter. On judgement day many will say to me, "Lord! Lord! we prophesied in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and preformed miracles in your name." But I will reply, "I never knew you. Get away from me you who break God's laws." Anyone who listens to my teaching and follows it is wise, like a person who builds a house on solid rock. Though the rain comes in torrents and flood waters rise and the winds beat against that house it wont collapse because it is built on bedrock. But anyone who hears my teaching and ignores it is foolish, like a person who builds a house on sand. When the rains and flood waters come and the winds beat against that house, it will collapse with a mighty crash.
Take great care my friends, and may our Lord Jesus Christ be the light in your heart!

What are we really up against?
Hello my friends, be blessed in knowing the truth.
In Ephesians 6:12 Paul gives us an outline of what we are up against in this life. "For we are not fighting against flesh-and-blood enemies, but against evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against mighty powers in this dark world and against evil spirits in the heavenly places."
This is the enemy of mankind, The Demonic Order according to Pastor Howard O. Pittman as described in his book, "Placebo".
Satan - CEO in charge
The Warring Demons, The Cream of Satan's Crop - They cause all war & strife in the world, the church and your home.
The Demons of Greed - Involved in every move Satan makes, his appetite is never satisfied and he affects every home in America, and the more he gets the more he wants!
Religious Demons - They are involved in the dark arts, witch craft, occult's and mediums. They make suspect the word of God and attempt to get people under false religions to keep them from the truth.
The Mystery Demons - They work in several areas, but mostly in the area of health and medicine. They are the only demons who can be involved with small children at birth.
The Demons of Impurity - They are responsible for all sexual perversion, lust, impure thoughts, masturbation adultery, rape, sodomy and all other horrific sexual acts in the world.
This is who Paul is describing in Ephesians. They watch you twenty-four hours a day in an effort to slip in and control areas of your life. They hide behind the scenes and entice, harass, torment, compel, enslave, defile, deceive, affect our physical health and are restless in nature.
They work in the following areas in order to torment all of mankind:
Emotions & Attitudes: Rejection, self-pity, depression, suicide, anger, loneliness, hatred, despair & more.
The Mind: doubt, unbelief, confusion, forgetfulness, not trusting, greed, indecision and compromise.
The Tongue: lying, profanity, gossip, exaggerating the truth, criticism of others & yourself.
Sexual Desires: masturbation, pornography, fornication, adultery, homosexuality, sodomy and lust.
Physical Health: PLEASE NOTE that our body's are made of the dust of the earth, and to an invisible enemy who can manipulate the strongest of men and women's minds to do evil, can also just as easily manipulate our frail body's to be sick and weak in many ways. I will not make a list here, but please remember all sickness and disease, be it mental or physical comes from the enemy of God the Father.
WHAT IS THE REMEDY? DELIVERANCE BY JESUS CHRIST!
Seven steps you can take as taught by the late Derek Prince.
1) Personally affirm your faith in Christ
2) Humble yourself before the Lord (bow on your knees with your face at the ground)
3) Confess any and all known sin in your life
4) Repent of your sins
5) Forgive all persons who have ever hurt or wronged you
6) Break any and all ties to the occult and false religion
7) Take your stand with God (In the name of Jesus Christ, I demand you leave my body) continue until the holy spirit leads you to stop, and you will know it too, because all you can do at that point is thank God, and worship him!
Seek someone to help you in your church if need be. I needed help expelling the spirit of fear, and was led by God to someone at my church to help, and together with the holy spirit I found complete victory in Christ for the first time in my forty-two years of life on earth!
I truly hope you find this information useful my friends. I have gone through this myself, and I know the power we have all been given over the enemy by Jesus himself. We must be willing to do what ever it takes, just like Christ did for us on the cross, if not we will miss out on the true reason he died, and that was to set the captives free so we can be saved by his grace, and mercy and stand before God and be called his children.
Be blessed, give beyond yourself, and love Christ forward!
