    Mark 16:15–19 KJV
    15 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. 16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. 17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; 18 They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. 19 So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God.
    The phrase "I have a charge to keep and a God to glorify" is from the hymn "A Charge to Keep I Have," which emphasizes the Christian's duty to serve God and fulfill their responsibilities. The hymn reflects on the importance of living faithfully, serving one's generation, and preparing one's soul for eternity. It highlights the sacred responsibility of glorifying God through one's actions and fulfilling the divine commission entrusted to each believer.
    Do me a Favor, Pull Out your Phone, and yell out what percentage is your battery is.
    When I wrote out this message my phone was 93%.
    For you Scholar’s i am going to do a play on words tonight. So work with me.
    When we think about the Charge we must, imagine our phone was the indicator of the percentage of how well we keeping the Charge God has giving us. (thank on that)
    Several Questions:
    What do You Use to Maintain Your Charge?
    Do you have a habit in using after- market devices, from 5-below, flea market & amazon to keep your Charge?
    Or do you stick with the manufacturer no matter the Cost?
    4. Do you often loose charge through out the day?
    5. Is your battery Life Weak?
    Tell someone who wished they was a fly as you…I have a charge to keep
    John 3:16 KJV
    16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
    Here is the Charge Beloved:
    Mark 16:15 KJV
    15 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.
    Why Don’t We See A Large Harvest Of Souls Being Saved?
    The Church has become self Centered On Blessings.
    And has abandoned the Charge
    Luke 12:31 MSG
    31 Steep yourself in God-reality, God-initiative, God-provisions. You’ll find all your everyday human concerns will be met.
    Matthew 19:29 MSG
    29 And not only you, but anyone who sacrifices home, family, fields—whatever—because of me will get it all back a hundred times over, not to mention the considerable bonus of eternal life.
    The Charge promises if we put the Charge First, blessings will come automatically..
    Can i talk to all the Money Chasing Christians, Put God before your Money and watch money come in unusual places.
    Someone Post this on social media: #God Over Everything 2026
    Recently within the last year or so, it was an upgrade with my phones software. And normally when i jumped in my car and plugged my phone into the Carplay it would automaticlly sync.
    But the up-grade requires me to either use facial recognition or punch in my passcode.
    Once the my phone unlocks I have completed access to the screen in my car, to text, call, listen to music, zoom all that.
    See Many of us are Christians but was haven’t upgrade to believers….
    Some of us think because we come to church every Sunday, and we tithe twice a year. That the treasures of the kingdom should be unlocked for us to enjoy…
    You attend bible study but your not charged, you help people but your not charged..
    At its core, a charge or mandate is a solemn assignment entrusted to you by someone who carries recognized authority. It’s more than a suggestion and deeper than a task list—it carries weight, expectation, and accountability.
    A charge is:
    A formal responsibility
    Given with urgency and seriousness
    Often spoken in a moment of transition, commissioning, or trust
    Paul charging Timothy to preach, guard sound doctrine, and endure hardship—not casually, but before God and witnesses.
    A charge answers the question:
    👉 “What am I being held responsible for?”
    A mandate goes a step further. It is:
    Authority-backed permission
    Coupled with expectation to act
    Often ongoing, not temporary
    A mandate says:
    “You are authorized to do this—and you’re expected to move in it.”A mandate answers the question:
    👉 “What have I been empowered and released to do?” Charge Mandate
    Responsibility Authority
    Stewardship Authorization
    Accountability Empowerment
    Guard this Go do this
    When a charge or mandate comes from God—or through God-appointed leadership—it implies:
    Trust has been established
    Alignment is required
    Obedience matters
    Fruit will be evaluated
    It’s not just about activity—it’s about faithfulness.
    “To whom much is given, much is required.”
    Jude 23 TPT
    and snatch others out of the fire to save them. Be merciful over and over to them, but always couple your mercy with the fear of God. Be extremely careful to keep yourselves free from the pollutions of the flesh.f
    Marks Of A Believer
    Mark 16:16 NLT
    16 Anyone who believes and is baptized will be saved. But anyone who refuses to believe will be condemned.
    I. Saved & Sanctified with a mighty burning fire Baptized
    Mark 16:17 KJV
    17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;
    II. In Jesus name, Believers cast out devils & speak with New tongues
    Mark 16:18 KJV
    18 They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.
    III. Believers take up serpents,
    Biblical passages indicate that believers are given spiritual power over serpents, with Jesus promising his followers the ability to take up serpents and not be harmed (Mark 16:17–18; Luke 10:19). Paul was bitten by a viper while gathering sticks for a fire. Despite the venomous snake attaching to his hand, Paul suffered no harm, which so amazed the onlookers that they initially thought he would die, but then changed their minds and declared him divine when he remained unharmed (Acts 28:3–6). The Psalms also metaphorically speak of treading on dangerous creatures like lions and adders, suggesting spiritual dominion over potential threats (Ps 91:13). These passages suggest a spiritual protection and power granted to believers, though they should not be interpreted as an invitation to deliberately seek out dangerous encounters with serpents.
    Believers die hard,
    Believers don’t throw hands they Lay hands. Recovery is the end result
    We can become frustrated because you feel like your doing everything you are suppose to be doing and don’t see any results.
    Matthew 19:27 NLT
    27 Then Peter said to him, “We’ve given up everything to follow you. What will we get?”
    Matthew 19:28–29 NLT
    28 Jesus replied, “I assure you that when the world is made new and the Son of Man sits upon his glorious throne, you who have been my followers will also sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel. 29 And everyone who has given up houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or children or property, for my sake, will receive a hundred times as much in return and will inherit eternal life.
    What do You Use to Maintain Your Charge? i continue to remind myself why he saved me.
    Do you have a habit in using after- market devices. My Only device i Use is Word of God, Prayer, fasting practicing forgiveness
    do you stick with the manufacturer no matter the Cost? Serving & sticking with God has always placed me in position to make hard sacrifices but its been worth it.
    Do you often loose charge through out the day? When this happens i know i have moved away from him (fasting & Consercration) is my upgrade
    Lets Pray:
    A charge to keep I have, A God to glorify, A never-dying soul to save, And fit it for the sky.
    To serve the present age, My calling to fulfill:Oh, may it all my pow’rs engageTo do my Master’s will!
