The world would want you to believe that God is either dead or never existed, this is to further promote their anti-christ agenda. However, God is very much live today, he is the same yesterday, today and forever more!
Rev_1:8 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty. God is working of levels that we cannot full understand, he knows the outcome of every scenario of every situation and this is why as believers we can take comfort in Roman 8:28 Rom 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. Sometimes our situations can seem bleak and it may feel like God has abandoned us, however that is the time God is truly working on our behalf and it is our faith that keeps God’s hand moving over our lives. Outside of Jesus, I don’t think there is no one else in the bible that suffered more than Job. To loose all of your children and your business in one day and then your own health rapidly decline, that cannot be easy. Many people at this point would blame God and say “If there is a God, why is this happening?” People are then open to all of the negative voices out there about God. This is why the enemy uses situations surrounding death or sickness or financial stress as a perfect time to attack. In Job’s case, he used his wife: Job 2:9 Job Refuses to Curse God Then his wife told him, “Do you remain firm in your integrity? Curse God and die! We have to be able to trust God no matter what, as that is the thing which is going to bring us through the challenge: Job 2:10 But he replied to her, “You’re talking like foolish women do. Are we to accept what is good from God but not tragedy?” Throughout all of this, Job did not sin by what he said. Job was not aware that it wasn’t God doing all of this but Satan and because God knew his heart, he was allowing Satan temporary access to Job to prove a point to Satan: Job 2:1 Satan’s Second Attack on Job Some time later, divine beings again [Lit. later, the sons of God] presented themselves to the Lord, and Satan accompanied them to present himself to the Lord. Job 2:2 The Lord asked Satan, “Where have you come from?” In response, Satan told the Lord, “From wandering all over the earth and walking back and forth throughout it.” Job 2:3 The Lord asked Satan, “Have you considered my servant Job? There is no one like him on earth. The man is blameless as well as upright. He fears God and keeps away from evil. He remains firm in his integrity, even though you have been urging me to overwhelm him without cause.” Job 2:4 Satan answered the Lord, “Skin for skin! The man will give up everything that he owns in exchange for his health. Job 2:5 However, stretch out your hand and strike his bones and flesh, and he’ll curse you to your face, won’t he?” Job 2:6 Then the Lord told Satan, “Very well then, he is under your control. Just preserve his life.” Job 2:7 So Satan left the Lord’s presence and struck Job with terrible boils from the sole of his feet to the top of his head. Job 2:8 Job took a broken piece of pottery to scrape himself while sitting among the ashes. We only see the natural; we do not know what is going on in the spirit realm, which is a lot more real than the physical realm, because every physical manifestation has a spiritual beginning. God was still working on Job’s behalf even through the test, because Satan still had restrictions, he could not take Job’s life. As Christians we are called to walk by faith and not by sight, because many times our senses and emotions can deceive us, but our faith is what keeps us connected with the source of life, who is able to carry us when we feel we can no longer carry on. God is very much alive and he is interested in ALL aspects of our lives, he has given us all of the tools to get through this life, from his written word, to his spirit. He has also given us direct access to him through prayer, which we can use as an offensive weapon as well as a defensive weapon. So we need to know what we have in our hands and whom we serve! Parallel Business Principals The principal of knowing what you have in your hands is very important in order for a person to be successful in Reliv, because if you don’t fully grasp that, you will just treat it like any other business opportunity out there and you might as well be selling cheaper utilities! However Reliv is far deeper than that and a person has to have the eyes to see and the ears to listen in order to full grasp what they have with this company. Many people will try and talk you out of the business; sometimes you may even try and talk yourself out of the business. However this is when the true motive of why you are building your Reliv business will be tested the most. So know what you have and don’t let anyone steal that from you. ************************************* Jason Gregory Business Coach & Mentor Reliv *************************************

This is a message that the world does not want us to understand, and that is:
Jesus is God. The reason why we have salvation is because the God of the universe came down to where we are and paid the ultimate price for us. He demonstrated the greatest act of love, which is stated in the scriptures: Joh 15:12 This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you. Joh 15:13 Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. In order for God to have any integrity, he had to commit to this sacrifice, because he also said in his word: 1Jn 4:16 And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him. So if God is love and love is not just one of his attributes, then he would have to perform the greatest act of love that could be performed. This is why we can trust the God that we serve. Many people would want you to believe that Jesus was just a good man who lived in times past, others would want you to believe he was just a prophet. You even have others who would have you believe Jesus was the Arc Angel Michael! However if you cannot believe that Jesus is God, you cannot be saved. Heb 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. To deny who Jesus is, is to deny the strength of his sacrifice. We see in the Old Testament God identifying himself: Exo 3:13 And Moses said unto God, Behold, when I come unto the children of Israel, and shall say unto them, The God of your fathers hath sent me unto you; and they shall say to me, What is his name? what shall I say unto them? Exo 3:14 And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you. In the New Testament we see Jesus identify himself in the same Hebrew way: Joh 8:58 Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am. In the Old Testament we see God identify himself again: Isa_44:6 Thus saith the LORD the King of Israel, and his redeemer the LORD of hosts; I am the first, and I am the last; and beside me there is no God. In the New Testament we see Jesus identify himself with the same identification: Rev_1:11 Saying, I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last: and, What thou seest, write in a book, and send it unto the seven churches which are in Asia; unto Ephesus, and unto Smyrna, and unto Pergamos, and unto Thyatira, and unto Sardis, and unto Philadelphia, and unto Laodicea. And if you want further scriptural proof, Jesus goes on to say in the second chapter of this book: Rev_2:8 And unto the angel of the church in Smyrna write; These things saith the first and the last, which was dead, and is alive; The final bit of Scriptural proof I want to leave with you is in John: Joh 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. Joh 1:11 He came unto his own, and his own received him not. Joh 1:12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: Joh 1:14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth. The reason why I am concentrating on this so much is, if you do not believe that Jesus is God, you CANNOT be saved and all you have is a religion. The enemy has deceived many into believing they are right with God simply because of their religious activity. BUT……….. You are made right with God for one reason and one reason ONLY, because of your belief and confession of the work HE did on the cross. God came down in a physical form in the past, we have his spirit with us now and he is going to come down in a physical form again in the further. So which side are you going to be on when he comes? Luk 18:8 I tell you, he will give them justice quickly. But when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on earth?” Parallel Business Principals You have to have a true belief in what you are doing with Reliv or else you are not going last. Building a Reliv business is challenging and if you cannot rise up to the challenge you will quit. So many people told me in the past “God showed them they should be doing Reliv” or “God showed them they should be working with me,” Where are these people today? People love to jump on the spiritual ban wagon! The reality is, it is going to take work, commitment and personal growth to build your Reliv business and if you are not prepared to do any of these, you have already failed. So many disciples began to follow Jesus, but when it got a bit tough all but 12 left! So do not be surprised when people leave your business that is the sifting process to show you, who you should be truly working with. ******************************************************* Jason Gregory Business Coach & Mentor Reliv ******************************************************* We serve a God who knows all and sees all, so he timing is always perfect, every outcome of every scenario he sees. This is why we can trust that we can place everything in his hands. Faith is so important because if we are to grow in relationship with him, we need to submit and acknowledge what he can do:
Heb 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. Throughout the whole bible we can read of accounts of people who had to develop the faith in God which cause them to act and against all odds to be victorious. God always showed up right on time. Abraham had to wait years for a son from his wife Sarah and even though they were both very old, God still showed up right on time. Then when the son grew older, God further tested Abraham’s faith by asking him the sacrifice his son to him. Just as Abraham was about to do it, God showed up just on time again and provided a lamb for him to sacrifice, as he knew Abraham loved him enough and trusted him enough to make a the ultimate sacrifice a father could ever make. (You can read about this in Genesis Chapter 22) Gideon had to trust that God would deliver the army of the medianites into his hand with only 300 men, when there was over 20,000 of them, but God showed up on time and he had the victory. When the Assyrian army were threatening to destroy Israel and Israel were outnumbered, even through the odds were stacked against Israel, God showed up on time when Israel’s King prayed: 2Ki 19:35 And it came to pass that night, that the angel of the LORD went out, and smote in the camp of the Assyrians an hundred fourscore and five thousand: and when they arose early in the morning, behold, they were all dead. When King David was first anointed King he did not take up his rightful throne until years later, when it was God timing for it to happen. One of the hardest lessons for people to learn is the lesson of patience. As human being we always want things done in our time and when it does not happen, we begin to doubt. However to operate in faith, we must see the thing as completed even before it truly happens. Heb 11:1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. The enemy wants us to doubt, he wants us to be impatient because he knows it will take away the power God has given us to overcome. One of the fruits of the spirit in Galatians 5 is Longsuffering or patience and in order for us not to fulfil the lust of the flesh, we have to walk in the spirit, in other words operate and act as the Holy Spirit directs us. God will always show up on time as we trust in him, that is his promise to us and he cannot lie. Therefore we should not listen to the opinions of the world because the natural man does not receive the things of God because they are spiritually discerned, so they sound like foolishness to him. So trust God today and watch him show up for you right on time! Parallel Business Principals When building our Reliv businesses we need to put God first, we have the tendency to get so busy in our day to day activities that God takes a back seat, but this should never be the case. Our success in our business is going to be determined by our attitude towards God and towards work. God will show up on time if we show up for work! We will go through challenges in our business because it is through the challenges that our character is developed. We need to understand that in order to be successful in Reliv we have to be able to rise above the challenges of life and trust in God. He is never early, never late, but always on time. But remember, he will show up for us as we show up for work! **************************************************** Jason Gregory Business Coach & Mentor Reliv **************************************************** |
