Master, the fig tree that you spoke to is withered up from the root.....A lesson on the substance of faith.....deno.....please share freely

      This Psalm and Truth the Lord taught me in England events....."The Lord has destroyed the works and the attacks that my enemies formed against me THRU THE WEAPON OF HIS CHOICE which was MY TONGUE"   deno.......
       With Christ words abundantly rich in our hearts and His Name Believed on and spoken with our mouth nothing is impossible to us. All things are possible to those who BELIEVE.
       Faith is Gods great substance that His Spirit is Ever Full Of. We have this same substance in our hearts. When Jesus spoke those faith filled words to that fig tree and it withered up from the roots. He released THAT SUBSTANCE and THAT SUBSTANCE laid holt of that fig tree and withered it. Jesus using His faith in words changed the life of that fig tree forever.  That same substance poured into our circumstances and situations can make GREAT CHANGES for us also. Positive or Negative, what we believe and say believing, HAPPENS.
       Jesus Himself taught us that. In Mark 11:23-24) Whatsoever things you want or desire, then when you pray BELIEVE YOU RECEIVE THEM and you SHALL HAVE THEM.......He said also, Believe those THINGS YOU SAY SHALL COME TO PASS and you SHALL HAVE WHATSOEVER YOU SAY....God and Jesus have always lived by this RULE. It is the Everlasting Way Of God....Faith which Works By Love..... God is Love and He is A MIGHTY BELIEVING SPIRIT full and overflowing with the substance of Universe Size Creating Faith and more.
       The substance in real faith is powerful. God used it to create Creation....Hebrews11:1) Faith is THE SUBSTANCE of things hoped for. It is the assurance of things not seen. Jesus came to save us and to bless us. Repentance and real faith makes both HAPPEN......deno.

All the beauty in this picture God made from imagination, understanding, great desire and faith. Faith made God's desires, imagination and understanding A LIVING REALITY IN HIS LIFE.....It can do the same for us... All THINGS are possible and achievable to them THAN BELIEVE......

A Personal Testimony....THE WEAPON OF HIS CHOICE WHICH WAS MY OWN TONGUE.....deno....please share freely. You need not even use my name and that is with all my writings. God Bless You...


        In my upper teens back in the 70s i was battling a spirit of depression that troubled me for around 3 years or so. It was so severe that to me it was a night mare. I could not figure out how it came upon me., I was so in the dark about so many things. I needed wisdom. 
      Well to make a long long story short. Eventually the Lord did show me some things. I was given a teaching tape called, THE POWER OF THE TONGUE, by Kenneth Copeland. You should order & get THAT CD. It will change your life. Thru the light of God in the rich lessons on that tape, He taught me that my problem had been partially my undisciplined mouth. I had no bridle on my mouth. I said everything i felt and more. But in England God opened my eyes and from what i learned i began to let the words of Christ dwell in me richly as i should have been doing but wasn't. Then my vocabulary changed. 
        In time and by imposed discipline I began to fill my eyes, ears and heart with Gods Good News and to  WATCH MY TONGUE. In just a few weeks that depression had vanished, disappeared completely.  About a year later or so it tried to instantly come back on Me. I said, No you don't. This time I was ready and prepared. The Word was in me in AN ABUNDANCE..... I FOUGHT BACK SAYING, In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth you get away from me and with many other WORDS OF GOD i fought back in Jesus Name and that spirit left immediately. I felt it the second it attacked me again and i felt it when it took off. Friends Jesus always fought back the spirit and tongue of Satan with the faith of his heart in the words of HIS MOUTH. EVERY TIME. Study this. It is the truth. We must do like our Master. 
       Well this is what the Lord taught me out of that victory that day and it is this. It is a Psalm for my life and for yours.........

The Psalm..... "Blessed be the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ, For I have seen the Lord destroy my enemies attacks and works formed against me thru THE WEAPON OF HIS CHOICE which was MY TONGUE"....deno

       Jesus gets pleasure when we fight the good fight of faith. From unwavering faith in His blood, death and resurrection, to un-doubting faith in His Name for healing and the casting out of demons, etc. Faith makes the Word of God and prayer profit us. The Power of God is there Always, it just needs to be connected to and faith in Jesus (THE WORD) and faith in His Name is that connection......deno

Our Spiritual Atmosphere. The Green vs the Dry.....deno

Luke 23:31) Jesus on the Cross nearing death said to those looking at him, crying about what has happened to their hope, he said...Do not weep for me, for if they do these things in a green tree,what shall be done by them in the dry?......

      This may sound strange but I am going to share it anyway. Me and my brother and 2 sisters, we were blessed to be raised in a home full of faith, hope and love that is in Jesus Christ. Dad was a pastor, preacher and teacher of the gospel, but more than that He and Mom were super loving parents of highest integrity. They lived the love they preached...
      So I write..... Every time the word of the gospel is written, preached, taught, spoken, and lived, Great and Marvelous preserving Salt and Light is being poured into our hearts, into our lives and society.
       I remember as a small child really sensing Gods Spirit and Presence in America. Back then America was full of moral believing people in Christ. The Name of the Lord Jesus Christ  was still Politically correct most every where in those days. It was like with joy I was somehow in measure tuned into the Lords presence. Joy Joy and more Joy filled my heart and soul. It would be so rich and strong some times that as a small child i used to just break out in a joy dance jumping and running, running and jumping all over the place. I did not know that it was the Joy of the Lord rising up from within. But i knew this. It sure tasted delicious. 
      Today America and our nations atmosphere is much dryer than the green I tasted in those early years. Sin and unbelief, and demonic forces are drying this Nations spiritual green up. We must repent and start living what we all say we are believing and are preaching. We must return to real faith that changes us, to love, to holiness, to integrity and to the casting off the works of darkness and stop fellowshipping with the ways of this world and stop mingling with things and ways that Jesus will not approve. Come out from amongst them, the Lord Said and then I will receive you. 
      When we or our nation are in a state where we are believing and living in a manner that God cannot RECEIVE OR ACCEPT, we will taste little His presence. Our spiritual atmosphere will be dry instead of green and just throwing money at the situation will not mend the real problem. Such is deceitful and delusional. The world thinks that way, but not God.  We have got to repent and believe right and live right.....None of us can fool God or mock Him. He knows my friend. He knows.....Let us all repent and believe the good news afresh, refreshed in the Spirit of grace unto holiness. Because I the Lord am Holy, so be ye holy......deno......please share freely.

Noah's Wood Ark Represented The Cross of Christ That Was To Come......deno......please share freely.

Deno Smith's photo.
Noah's Wooden Ark represented the Cross of Christ that was to come. The pouring out of the mighty rain represented the shedding forth of Christ blood who came down from heaven. Noah's family inside the Ark represent Us protected In Christ... Jesus was beaten and buffeted around thru the punishment placed on Him for our sins, while we were comforted and protected from the blows inside him. He was beaten by the wrath of God this way and that way but we on the inside were sheltered from the storm of his punishment for our transgressions. The old dying off and the new day and life appearing after the flood dissipated represented you and I passing from death unto newness of life with Christ. The rainbow represents the promise and the assurance of salvation from the wrath to come. It is written. And Jesus has saved us from the wrath to come.

How God Will Fill Our Hearts, and Our Lives, And Our NATION Back Up With His Presence & Blessings.....A pleasant revelation.....deno.....please share freely

      Matthew 23:38-39) Israel was withstanding the Lord Jesus. The elders were rejecting Him as the Christ, but the Anointing upon Jesus with all those miracles, and healing's and deliverance's, plus his raising the dead back to life, all these signs and wonders together themselves preached Jesus was the Christ, meaning the one the Spirit of the Lord is upon as it was written in the book of Isaiah the prophet of the Christ.
      But though they saw and heard the Divine witness with and upon Jesus they refused to accept Him as both Lord and Christ. This rejection cost them nearly just as much as Adam and Eve's eating of the forbidden fruit cost them. As Adam and Eve's rejection of Gods warning, left them and their offspring alone and desolate and headed for all kinds of troubles being emptied of the blessing of the Lord, even so deceived and blind Israel cast out the Hope Of Israel, Jesus the sent Christ. 
     Jesus under the shock and awe of their rejection of him sits on a hill looking over Jerusalem and he deeply thinks of their history and what could have been SO GOOD AND GREAT for them had they loved and obeyed God, but they chose the curses over the blessing by their constant disobedience's and their turning away from God and His prophets to heed false tongues, and false prophets, even bowing their hope to idols.
      So Jesus in this historical contemplation of HIS PEOPLE, sighs and says I have given you these three years GREAT LIGHT and yet you still refuse Me and to hearken unto my voice and my message and my warnings. So Matthew 23:37-39, He speaks....."O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you (the chosen of God), you that kill the prophets, and stone them which are sent to you, how often I would have gathered your children together under My Wings, even as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, BUT YOU ALLOWED  ME NOT. 38) Behold, (this is there judgement for their rejection of Gods Son. They are now going to reap with God what they sowed. He is going to treat them just the way they treated Jesus) He says, Behold your house is left you desolate (Emptied of God and His Presence. He has rejected them. He has spewed them out of His mouth just as they are about to spew Jesus out of their lives by unbelief expressed thru a Cross.) Behold, he says, Your religion now is just religion. It is empty of God. vs 39) For I say unto you, You shall not see Me hereafter, not until you learn to say, Blessed is He that comes in the name of the Lord.
     Church, do you feel like your assembly is dry and empty? Do we want to SEE MORE OF JESUS?  Do you want your heart and house full of God's Presence, Spirit, and Blessings? Then like Israel we must more abundantly in faith invoke the Name of the Lord in all we say, preach, teach, and do. He shows up so to speak, Jesus manifest Himself when His people welcome His Spirit and Believe on His Name calling upon the Name of the Lord in great hope and in faiths anticipation.  
     Let us often then call upon the Name of our Redeemer Jesus Christ. Let us often say blessed is Jesus who comes in the Name of the Lord. For Jesus is the Lord from Heaven. For if not doing and saying this empties a house of Gods Spirit, Presence, and Blessings because of unbelief as Jesus said in Matthew 23:39, then invoking His Name in our lives and in our gatherings in faith will fill back up the cups, the desolate hearts, and houses with His Presence, Spirit, and Blessings. 
     Jesus in vs 39 says, You want to see Me, you desire Me to show back up in your heart, house, and life O Israel? Then in faith believe and call upon MY NAME and you will see Me. I will manifest MYSELF to you. But if you don't, I will not.......deno......please share freely.

Equalized In Christ....Christ Is All and in You All.......deno.....please share freely.

    1 Corinthians 12:25)......so that there would be NO SCHISM in the body of Christ, the Church of the Living God,
   When God made Jesus to be every believers way, every believers peace with God, every believers justification, every believers salvation, life and righteousness, He equalized us all In Him. God sure is wise and brilliant.....No one above or below another, but all the same AND CHRIST IS ALL. ...Colossians 3:11.....Christ is our everything and Christ is in us all in Him.....
     I am so glad that the God who loves us all even as He loves Jesus, did all this equalizing (John 17:23).... This is the way of God. This is heavens way and harmony. Go against this way and you will get what Satan got. He fell from heaven like lightning trying to exalt himself above God and above the other angels and above all the heavenly host (Luke 10:18 & 1 Timothy 3:6 & Isaiah 14:12-15)...... 
     Friends and family let us all walk humble before our God and thank Him for making us all One and Equal and the Same in Christ and for making Jesus our ALL IN ALL...deno.....please share freely.

P.S. Anytime we break the ranking of this equalizing rule that God established, WE CAUSE SCHISMS in the family of the redeemed of the Lord. Let the elders wash the saints feet and let the saints wash the elders feet and one another's. Jesus, God in the flesh, bowed down and washed our feet.  This is the sweet aroma of heaven where God's sweet love fills all of glory with loves finest aromas in perfect peace between God and His Creatures. 
      God is not  lifted up with evil pride. Yes He is God and always will be God and yet Jesus expressed the Fathers heart perfectly. He showed us Gods heart in the washing of our feet and in the Cross and in all he said and did.. 
      God is a mighty God for sure, but He is so loving and gentle and kind, full of compassion and long-sufferring. To bless us and to serve us is His Joy. He created a creation not from ego or vain pride, but to make a place that He could give to creatures that He would create so that He could  share His life and love with forever. God is a loving, giving God. God Is Love. Jesus said, Fear not little flock, for it gives your heavenly Father good pleasure to give you the kingdom..(Luke 12:32).....deno

It Is Written, Hope Thou In God...Another Message He Gave Me For Our Hope.....The Lord Is Inspiring His People. The Lord Is Merciful.....deno......please share freely.

  1.         Even though Peter began to sink in the water, and even though along with the other disciples he failed to cast out that demon in that boy and got rebuked by the Lord for his unbelief, and even though Peter lied, and even though Peter denied knowing the Lord, and even though Peter cut that soldiers ear off, and doubted the Lords words concerning His Resurrection....AFTER ALL THESE stumbling's, still yet the Lord of all mercies and compassion prayed for Peter that his faith would not fail.(Luke 22:31-33) Well what happened from that prayer? Lets see.

           Peter full of faith and full of the Holy Ghost said on the day of Pentecost, Ye Men of Israel hearken unto my words. The once sinking, stumbling, doubting, lying, denying Peter God used first to declare the gospel of the resurrection of His Son Jesus Christ to Israel. Thousand and thousands were saved. The grace does not stop there. 

          This same Peter full of faith and full of the Holy Ghost came up to the lame beggar and said, Silver and gold have I none but such as I have I give you. In the Name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, Rise up and walk and that lame beggar was instantly healed by the power of God. The prayer of that grace does not stop there. It cant. It was a prayer prayed by the Almighty Son Of God. 

          A little daughter had passed away. The family was mourning the loss. Friends were weeping. The daughter was so loved and so missed. Peter, yes lying denying Peter, fully forgiven, fully restored, full of faith and full of the Holy Ghost, went up to the child's lifeless body and said, Daughter I say unto you, In the Name of Jesus Christ arise. Her spirit returned to her and God raised her from the dead. And the grace from that prayer does not stop there..
          Jesus put such an anointing on Peter that in one place just His Shadow touching the sick and diseased people, healed them instantly.....And so much more could be said of what Jesus and His prayer did in Peters life, but these were written to show us something from the Lords Mercies.

         Friends what is the Lord telling us in all this.??? Though we have maybe failed the Lord a thousand times. Though we may have in the past failed Jesus miserably and stumbled and sinned and lied and denied the Lord and fought against men to the shedding forth of blood,  God by Jesus Christ can take His Sons intercessions and prayers and change us and our lives for His Glory and Honor as He did in the life of Peter, Paul, Moses, David, Jacob, Nicky Cruz and so  many others....
          Be believing. Hope Thou In God. Jesus told us all, "You trust and hope in God, trust and hope also in Me. Let us trust in Jesus. He is right now ever living, making intercessions for you and for me at the Fathers right hand. Look what His Prayer did for Peter and is still doing for him to this day in heaven in the city of God.....deno......please share freely.
