Eve wasn't hungry. God had given her every tree in the Garden to eat from except one. She was eating all the time. Eve probably even had a little meat on her bones. Judas wasn't broke. He had been the treasurer of Jesus' ministry for 3 1/2 years and had been stealing all along. He was probably the best-dressed apostle with a stash of coins on the side.

So why did Eve risk everything for one piece of forbidden fruit, and Judas lose it all over a measly thirty dollars? Because it was never about food or money. It was about pride. Instead of being grateful for the positions they already had, Eve wanted to be like God, and Judas wanted to cancel Jesus and take His place.

Some see God's favor upon your life and they want it, too. Instead of being thankful for who they are, they want something more, something different, something they think is spectacular and glamorous about what you're doing without paying the price that you've paid. That's pride. It's the spirit of Lucifer who, though he had it all, desired more. He wanted to "be like the Most High" (Isaiah 14:14). So he seduced 30% of the angels into supporting him in building his own kingdom, and they all fell through heaven's trap door to earth.

Pride produces envy, envy incites competition, and competition breeds division. Every member of the Body of Christ is essential, and the Body functions properly when every member fulfills its role. Never crave another person's anointing. As my pastor Bishop Goldsberry used to say, "Do what God told YOU to do." Blessings. - KEVIN GREER

"The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God." (Psalm 9:17).

There are individual judgments and there are national judgments. There's only one way out for both: Repent. Turn. Turn to Jesus now. - KEVIN GREER

MIRACLE TESTIMONY UPDATE

I want to share this to lift your faith. At our crusade in Pakistan last year this young woman was miraculously healed. She had been paralyzed, unable to move her arms or legs because of an electric shock in her home. Her friends and family put her in a car and drove six hours to the crusade, and the Lord healed her during the Miracle Service.

I returned to Pakistan for our crusade two weeks ago, inquired about her welfare, and was told of her second miracle. She had desired to have a child before being paralyzed but the doctors told her that was impossible. Her body was incapable of carrying a child to term and delivering it. But when the doctors said no, Jesus said "Yes!" Now, not only is she healed, but she has a healthy new baby.

Miracles beget miracles. Keep telling your testimony. It's the gift that keeps on giving. God bless you.

GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD

God commanded Jonah to preach to Nineveh the capital of Assyria, but Jonah refused and ran the other way. Assyria was Israel's enemy and Jonah wanted God to destroy them before they destroyed Israel (Assyria eventually did destroy Israel around 720 B.C.-see 2 Kings 17:5-6, but that was about a hundred years later. At the time of Jonah, God sent him to save them.)

After God "persuaded" Jonah to change his mind, he went and preached, Nineveh called a national fast, repented, and the Lord spared them from destruction. Then Jonah REALLY got angry. "After all, aren't WE God's chosen people and aren't THEY worthless heathens? They've raided our country repeatedly, taken our land, and killed our people. They deserve to be wiped off the map!!"

Then God taught Jonah as lesson about love by preparing a beautiful vine for him that was then eaten up by a worm. Jonah got mad again. But God said to Jonah (paraphrased) "You didn't plant the vine, water it, or make it grow. I did." And the Lord went on to say:

"And should not I spare Nineveh, that great city, wherein are more than 120,000 people that cannot discern between their right hand and their left hand...?" (Jonah 4:11).

Now, here's an important piece of information most people wouldn't know unless they did their homework. According to the usual reckoning of most historians, the population of Nineveh at that time was 600,000, not 120,000. The 120,000 that "could not tell their right hand from their left" were infants. Babies. Innocent children that had nothing to do with the fight between Israel and Assyria. They were more than "collateral damage." They were precious souls the Lord loved, just as aborted babies are precious souls that the Lord loves. No difference.

Christians aren't duplicitous. We don't choose what people to love or what laws of God to obey. "God so loved the WORLD" is our creed, or motivation, our guiding light. We don't rejoice, or stay silent (which is just as bad,) when any people are slaughtered, whether American, Mexican, Nigerian, Palestinian, Israeli, or Indian. Do not be deceived, beloveds, or be drawn into nationalistic hypocrisy as Peter and Barnabas were at Antioch (Galatians 2:11-14). Pray for ALL people, because if you're saved and really have the Holy Ghost, your prayers work. Have the heart of Jesus. "Love your enemies, do good to them which hate you, bless them that curse you, and pray for them which despitefully use you." (Luke 6:27-28). That's the Book. And then we will truly be the children of our Father in heaven. - KEVIN GREER

FINISH STRONG

Moses was brilliant. He triumphed over Egypt, saved Israel and gave them God's law. Elijah was equally brilliant. He was grieved with backslidden Israel so he shut up the heavens, slew eight hundred fifty witch doctors in a national showdown, and revived the nation. Yet Moses died in Moab and never made it to Canaan and Elijah said, "That's enough" and God took him to heaven in a chariot of fire. Can you imagine what Moses could have done in Canaan or Elijah on earth itself if they had kept obeying God? We know they weren't lost because they appeared with Jesus on the Mount of Transfiguration (Mark 9:1-5). They didn't go to hell. They just never FINISHED.

You can live your whole life and one mistake of not obeying God can cost you big time. The Lord will forgive you because His mercies are everlasting. This is not about heaven and hell. It's not about your "legacy." Who cares about legacy when they're gone? This is about your DESTINY. Whatever it takes, no matter the opposition, let nothing stop you. Do it. Fulfill God's plan for your life. Blessings.- KEVIN GREER

YOUR TESTIMONY

There was a woman of Shunem who provided food and lodging to Elisha and his servant Gehazi whenever they passed through town. This woman was rich but she wanted something that money could not buy: a baby. She was childless and her husband was old, so she thought it was too late for her, but Elisha prophesied and she had a miracle son. One day when the boy had grown up, he died of a heat stroke while working in the field with his daddy. The woman saddled up her donkey, went and fetched Elisha, and he came back and raised the boy from the dead.

A few years later Elisha told the woman that God had called for a seven year famine in Israel and told her to take her family and leave the country to survive, so she went to the land of the Philistines until it was over. But when she returned, squatters had occupied her house and her land and were getting rich off of the crops they were growing. The woman decided to go to the king to file a case to get her property back. When she got there, Elisha's servant Gehazi, (who liked rubbing shoulders with powerful people because he was greedy) happened to be in the palace talking to the king. And we pick up the story there:

"And Gehazi was telling the king about the time Elisha had brought a boy back to life. At that very moment, the mother of the boy walked in to make her appeal to the king about her house and land. “Look, my lord the king!” Gehazi exclaimed. “Here is the woman now, and this is her son—the very one Elisha brought back to life!” “Is this true?” the king asked her. And she told him the story. So he directed one of his officials to see that everything she had lost was restored to her, including the value of any crops that had been harvested during her absence." (2 Kings 8:5-6 NLT).

This woman's testimony saved her. The devil's trick is to pile so many attacks on you that you forget what God has already done. But never forget your testimony. Tell it as early and as often as you can. It's the key of faith for your next miracle. Hold fast to it, never let it go. Your testimony is the gift that keeps on giving. God bless you. - KEVIN GREER

KINGDOM BUILDING

Church growth doesn't happen by "ordaining" and "licensing" under our ministry individuals and groups already established and engaged in ministry. That's not Kingdom building, that's brand building. Jesus told us to go make disciples, not deputies. The Kingdom of God grows when we go where others have not already gone and do what others have not already done. We're to go and produce fruit, not go and eat it (John 15:16). God gives the increase. True Church growth is always the outcome of evangelism. - KEVIN GREER

Istanbul Turkey has a rich history. Many great nations and generals, Persians, Greeks, Romans, and Ottomans, used this city as a bridge in quests to conquer and control. This is the place where East meets West. But of all those great crossings of the Bosphorus, the greatest took place when Paul saw a vision of a man begging him to "Come over to Macedonia, and help us." (Acts 16:9).

This is my eighth year traveling to this area, partnering with the same dedicated brothers and sisters, and wondrous things happen each time. I'm never amazed at what Jesus does. But I'm always amazed at how it move me. It never gets old. Please pray for the great people of this region.

CITIZENSHIP

Daniel held high positions in Nebuchadnezzar's administration, but the Bible never said that Daniel was friends with the king nor that he liked his "policies." How could he? Nebuchadnezzar had sacked Jerusalem, destroyed the Temple, killed the Jews and taken many of them into exile, and kept Daniel's cousin the king of Judah locked up in a Babylonian prison for thirty seven years, all while Daniel was a government official. Daniel was no fan of Nebuchadnezzar. He wouldn't even eat his food. The king promoted him because Daniel's gifts were useful, but he wasn't exactly a fan of Daniel either. In fact, after promoting Daniel's little buddies the three Hebrew boys, Nebuchadnezzar tried to kill them. Daniel's gifts made room for him in the government and he kept working in the administration. But when God had had enough of Nebuchadnezzar's bluster and pride, Daniel prophesied and sent his boss out to pasture (literally)for seven years to live like an animal.

After Nebuchadnezzar died his son Belshazzar came to power. Daniel served him but didn't like Belshazzar's policies either. So one night during one of the king's dinner parties, Daniel showed Belshazzar the handwriting on the wall, then showed Belshazzar the door. And he was slain that very night during the after party.

An entirely new administration with completely different policies then came to power led by Darius the Mede, a foreigner. Daniel worked for him, too. They seemed to like each other personally, but the Jews remained in exile and Jerusalem and the Temple were still in shambles. After Darius, the Persians came to power and Cyrus became king. Cyrus decreed that the Temple should be rebuilt and told the Jews to go home to do it. But Daniel didn't go and remained in Persia. By all accounts, he lived the rest of his life in a foreign country serving foreign governments.

How could Daniel have worked under various administrations with opposing policies and leaders that he didn't like? They were enemies of his people, kept them captive, and were idolators. How and why did Daniel do that? Because it made no difference to Daniel who they were and what they did or didn't believe. Daniel always knew Who he believed. He was in a country and had various advantages, but he always had his eyes on a better one, a city that had foundations, whose builder and maker is God. (Hebrews 11:10).

People are losing their minds (and some their faith) over the upcoming elections, but if you're saved, never lose sight of this: Your body may be in your country, but your citizenship is in Heaven. (Philippians 3:20). - KEVIN GREER

The early Christians are not our role models. Jesus is! The Book of Acts does not describe the climax of God's power, but a first sampling of the potential of the Holy Spirit. Trust God to infinity; He has no maximum! - Reinhard Bonnke.
