BEING BORN AGAIN.

Good morning. I want to write about Jesus and his own words. The book of st.John chapter 6 starting with verse 53. Then Jesus said unto them,VERILY ,VERILY,I SAY UNTO YOU ,EXCEPT YE EAT THE FLESH OF THE SON OF MAN,AND DRINK HIS BLOOD,YE SHALL HAVE NO LIFE IN YOU. WHOSO EATETH MY FLESH,AND DRINKETH MY BLOOD,DWELLETH IN ME,AND I IN HIM. AS THE LIVING FATHER HATH SENT ME,AND I LIVE BY THE FATHER:SO HE THAT EATETH ME,EVEN HE SHALL LIVE BY ME. THIS IS THE BREAD WHICH CAME DOWN FROM HEAVEN:NOT AS YOUR FATHERS DID EAT MANNA,AND ARE DEAD:HE THAT EATETH OF THIS BREAD SHALL LIVE FOR EVER. These things said he in the synagogue,as he taught in Capernaum. This was from from verses 53 thru 59. Notice in the following verses 60 thru 66. The disciples commented that these were harsh words. Jesus being God already knew their thoughts. They were murmuring and Jesus knew they were offended.He made it clear that what he was talking about was Spirit. Then he made it clear no man can come to him unless the Father(Heavenly)sent them to him. No man can come unto me ,except it were given unto him of my Father ...Jesus said. Notice that from that time some followers went back and walked no more with Jesus.This all sounds very familar because some do this today. I know most preachers and or teachers today,do not wish to say that Christ offended some people. That Christ words still offend some people. As a matter of fact many people reject Christ. At least the real Christ that teaches repentance,accountability.If you go to a church that does not preach repentance and accountability then ask God to find you a real church family to worship with.These scriptures teach us that Christ was sent from Heaven,shed his blood and redeemed our spirits back to God from whence they came.They teach us that there is no other way to Heaven except him.Listen up.....Christians are under attack today in America but we must remember that we are saved by an incorruptible seed.We were as sheep going astray;but are now returned unto the Sheperd and Bishop of our souls.1st Peter chapter 2 verse 25.

INCORRUPTABLE SEED? YOU BETCHA.

Being born again,not of corruptable seed,but of incorruptable,by the word of God,which liveth and abideth for ever.For all flesh is as grass,and all glory of man as the flower of grass.The grass withereth ,and the flower thereof falleth away:But the word of the Lord endureth for ever.And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you. Oh how encouraged we should be,to see that though we will pass from this life,we will be saved by the promise of God thru JESUS CHRIST.His word his promise lives for ever.And when you repent and turn your soul,your life over to Christ,then you and i both will live with him in his glory.Oh he's not corrupt,neither is his word.Believe it ,accept it,trust it......and live forever with Christ.Oh i am so happy in my soul that i trust his word that was preached to me 50 years ago,and is the same yesterday, today ,and for evermore!

PRAY FOR ME AS WELL.

Something short but not judgmental. Yet very important. In the book of 1st Peter chapter 3 verses 1 and 2. This is something that in america we do not put enough emphasis on. But yet in other countries its over board in its treatment of women. Wives ,be in subjection to your husbands,and if any obey not the word(the husbands pertaining to the Holy Scriptures,the Bible,they will by hearing your pure moral conversation,be won over.This is above all the proper way to make yourselves of very much value. Like fine jewels.My goodness how many men ,even ruff unsaved men look at their wives and say wow,"i am a brute and she is so precious far above Rubies" I will not pretend to tell women what to do that are abused.Except leave that situation with little bitterness and hate.Pray for this man and mean it. God will protect you and hear your cry.I know its very difficult not to air the dirty laundry,but according to this scripture,that is not the way to win him.I personally know the pain,the rejection and the agony of separation from a spouse and how not to deal with it.I pray for myself and all that experience divorce or abuse in their marriages. Outside of Jesus in our lives,we cannot handle such matters correctly. I salute all who are hurting male and female in relationships. I know perfection is what we would seek,but it will not come in this body of flesh.I pray for all the kids that have to hear the pain. I have been on both sides,and i cannot handle it correctly if i let my emotions,regardless of who is at fault rule the day. I pray for each and everyone going thru this,those who have bad memories,and you pray for me as well. God bless you and God guide us all.

PEACE BE UNTO YOU ALL THAT ARE IN CHRIST JESUS.

1st Peter chapter 5. #1. Feed the flock which is among you.Taking the oversight thereof,not by constraint,but willingly;not for filthy lucre,but of ready mind; #2. neither being lords over God's heritage,but being ensamples to the flock. #3.When the chief shepherd shall appear,ye shall receive a crown of glory that fadeth not away. #4.Younger people submit yourself unto the elder. All of you be subject one unto another,and be humble: #5. God resisteth the proud,and giveth grace to the humble. #6.Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God,that he may exalt thee in due time. #7. Cast all your care upon him;for he careth for you. This morning whatever you have on your heart,whatever issues, troubles, whatever there is that is eating away at you. Cast it ON Jesus and he will help because he cares. I pray for you this morning. Some having medical issues,some marriage issues,some having money issues,housing issues.People for sure these days are more about themselves. Selfish. Pray about anyone you know who is like that. Watch and believe God will deliver them.Stay prayed up,never give up on Christ,the heavenly Father and Holy Spirit.This is what the Apostle Paul means by fighting the good fight. Verse 8 of the 5th chapter is very important as well. Be sober ,be vigilant; because your adversary the devil ,as a roaring lion ,walketh about seeking whom he may devour: Do not allow this devil to win in your life. You cannot do this alone.God the Heavenly Father with overwhelming grace is waiting for our pleas. This chapter tells us to love one another and bear each others burdens.Lets do it,and watch our almighty GOD work. And just think.......oh how he loves us. Verse 11......To him be the glory and dominion for ever and ever.AMEN.

OH WHAT A NATION,OH WHAT A GOD.

Good morning from America,and greetings from our our Lord Jesus Christ who knew no sin,yet layed down his life to redeem us.Last night i listened to a message via video of Dr. Billy Graham from back around 1998.His humility struck me,his inherent belief in Christ redemption power and his acknowledgement of his own mortality.A couple things he mentioned struck me even more as i awakened early this morning.He spoke of a couple super intelligent men who before their life was over,received Christ as their redeemer.I believe they both were mathematical wizards.I believe at least one of these guys was atheist.Anyway.....in todays world it reminded me of a college student who told me how science and math were his god. Oh well,it is his decision to make,but its awesome to hear that men way before him,regardless of science and math,came to know the person of Jesus Christ,after being shown by the Holy Spirit that they were sinners lost.Dr Graham was speaking to an organization that prides its self in research and finding cures.Grahams speech was about how man has never cured sin,death,or evil.But yet Christ is the cure and men reject him.These 2 men realized they had discovered the cure.Jesus Christ,the son of God.Oh how my heart shutters and stirs within me,when i hear of poor men,rich men,unlearned men as well as educated men coming to Christ.Two types of men such as this,The apostle Paul,and of course The apostle Peter.One very educated and religious,and the other a very ruff and tuff fishermen.Peter of course not easy to persuade.More on this in the next blog.This morning,i thank my Lord Jesus for my nation.A nation of Bible believing Christians,loving one another,edifying one another and teaching and preaching Jesus.This my friends is what makes America Great.I thank God for the internet this morning.Where we can do library research,and share our thoughts together.And i thank those that stand in pulpits,and preach Jesus,and sunday school teachers that teach Jesus. Anyone who reads this can experience Christ in their souls.The world has nothing like this.GOD be with all of you today.Don't waste this day.We never know it could be our last.

WHEN HE PLEADS.

Good morning everyone. This morning i want to mention how the Lord regardless of our sinful nature,pleads with us. In the following case Israel was ignoring all that the Lord had done good for them and going their own way. God gets upset with them according to the book of Jeremiah chapter 2 verses 9-13. " Wherefore yet i will yet plead with you,saith the Lord,and with your childrens children will i plead"In verse 11 he gets smart with them.Hath a nation changed their gods ,which are no gods? but my people have changed their glory for that which does not profit" The Lord then told the heavens about them. He said Be ye astonished ,o ye heavens,at this ,and be horribly afraid,be ye very desolate,saith the Lord.For my people have committed two evils;they have forsaken me the fountain of living waters ,and hewed them out cisterns,broken cisterns,that can hold no water. So lets not leave God out of our lives. Read that Holy Bible and pray Gods Holy Spirit shows you how to live your life,teaches you his word.By the way the man here Jeremiah,God spoke to him and gave him imformation that we all need to know.Before we were formed in our mothers belly,God knew us.Don't say you can't because God says you can. The Lord says that you will go to all he sends thee,and whatsoever he commands you to say you will say.Then he says do not fear their faces because he (The Lord) is with you.Then the Lord put his hand on the mouth of Jeremiah,and told him now i have put my words(the Lords) in your mouth.Then just as in the 10th verse you will see exactly Gods purpose for you. The latter verses were from Jeremiah chapter 1 verses 4-10. Trust the Lord,but you have to speak with him when he calls.When he pleads!

Times in America.......that try a mans soul.

Good evening,this is saturday evening in America. College football is king,tommorrow pro-football is king here in America.Fyi: in my short 62 years,i have seen many changes in society here in the states.I'VE never seen it this way before,and from my studies of AMERICAN HISTORY,I am postive it has never been this bad before.There were pockets of the later to name issues,but now thru the propaganda of the television,liberal,Godless dogma is taking over the mindset of American life. No regard to God our creator,making up our own ideas of how we think he thinks.Ignoring the pure word of God (The Bible) and believe me thats just the tip of the ice-berg!Americans care more about Entertainment today than learning about the Savour. Ive never seen so much hate for Christ but whats worse,the attacks on Christians.According to scripture it is to be expected.But none the less it has not been the norm until very recently.Judgements from God are sure to be coming if our nation and its leaders do not repent.How arrogant does a person need to be,to gamble with their soul and then spew hate about a God he or she does not believe exist?Why spend most of their lives trying to prove God is not real? Then speak evil of the Lord?The homosexual movement does the same thing and in some cases denies the words of God forbidding them to practice their abominable sex acts.They have actually started homosexual churches.Wow!Can you believe that evil? We have leaders in America condoning Isalm which is evil,and murderous.Our President is one,some presidential candidates,as well as congressional members.They have turned their backs on Gods chosen,Israel.Racial divide,hatred for White people unwarranted.Disrespect for law and order.Godless laws being passed.Redifining marriage by our supreme court.From my observations,i will have to say it starts in our homes and in each of our hearts.We love pleasure more than God!Is America going to have to literally collapse before the heady and high minded humble themselves? And cry out to God to heal our land?2nd Timothy chapter 3 says all this.It describes millions.It describes Todays America to the tee!Perilous times will come vs.1 LOVERS OF THEIR OWN SELVES,COVETOUS,BOASTERS,PROUD,BLASPHEMERS,DISOBEDIENT TONPARENTS,UNTHANKFUL,UNHOLY.Do you see any Of that in your family?I bet you do.I do. Vs.3 Without natural affection,truce breakers,false accusers,incontient,fierce,despisers of those that are good.Traitors,heady ,high minded,lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God.Vs 5 is for our church goers.Having a form of godliness,but denying the power thereof:And then the Bible says from such turn away.Wow!Are you licking boots today? Do you realize some of your worst enemies are those of your own household.Think on this.If you haven't offended someone preaching Jesus,then your probably not in Gods will.Yes i said it.I did not say to offend people just because you can,i am saying if you preach Christ,against sin,you will offend some of the above mentioned people. EXPECT IT. Verse 7 says ever learning ,and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.Vs. 8 tells of men who resist the truth,men of corrupt minds,reprobate concerning the faith.But their folly shall be made manifest unto all men.vs.9.I could go on and on,but i want for the sake of time. I wish to finish this way......."These are times that try a mans soul.

99 AND 9/10ths never.

A small change in my message today.How about a few points on Joe Biden running for President? Today he spoke of Obama's legacy. Joe we all know what Obama's legacy is. It is being the worst President of the United States ever in history.My examples pretty much describe the entire Democratic positions in our government.(Democratic Party) Now lets begin with national security. I can assure our foes in the world that that the good ole USA. has the power to unleash death and destruction at scary levels never known by mankind.Most of the years in our history,since WW2 our overwhelming power has been a deterrent to war. At least a big war between our strongest foes. So what is Obama's legacy? Lets see. How about making our military so weak that our enemies now actually are starting to get aggressive in the world.They feel Our President is weak and will do nothing to stop their aggression.FYI: This brings The USA closer to war with our foes.One of these days our enemies will write a check that their behinds will not cover.....as old folks use to say! Then America will have to use her arsenal of nukes and all out war to defend herself.I know Obama wants to rewrite history,and that's all nice,but history says otherwise. We Americans pray this never happens,but it very well could. How about Biden's remarks on speaking out clearly during this Presidential campaign. Ok Joe....go ahead. Tell us all again how much greater America is now than 8 years ago. Tell us how great you guys have been or how great you are gonna make our lives. FYI: joe,you have been in power 7 years and you have fundamentally changed America for the worse. So much so that it could be to late to turn things around.You spoke of the middle class. How about it almost does not exist.If you call the working poor in America becoming larger and larger your idea of saving the middle class.... Then oh my what delusion!The gap between the rich and the poor has gotten larger than ever under your leadership,Joe.And i will say this....the Bush's haven't got a clue on how to improve things any better than a Democratic liberal.Free public education? Seriously? Yor talking about 16 years of it instead of 12 yrs. I will give you that one.Only problem is Joe....you Dems don't know how to grow and economy large enough to sustain that idea. And neither would most of any of the other politicians or candidates.Now you mentioned compromise not being a dirty word. AND you said Obama was the one who said that first. Obama and all the Dems..... do believe in compromise. Only problem,when do they ever do it? I can answer that,how about 99 and 9/10ths of the time NEVER!Before i forget it lets mention you saying this was a fight for the soul of the country.Social stability you said.If attacking the police,defending law breakers,creating racial tension,taking away the 1st and 2nd amendment rights,attacking Christians,then shoving Islam down our throats,is your idea of social stability.....omy what idiotic thinking. Let us not forget you and Obama have taken God almighty on and redefined marriage. Not even mentioning that Even Islam knows better than that. How about trying to get as many illegal immigrants the power to vote by giving them free tax payers money? Or drivers license so they can vote? Well let me tell you. None of this is a winning ticket mr. joe. Unless something crooked goes on. And i'm expecting rigged elections from the democrat party perspective. I hope not but i will not be surprised.Okee dokee....thats it for that. lol.

THE LORD WILL PRESERVE HIM.

Blessed is he that considereth the poor. The Lord will deliver him in time of trouble. (Psalm chapter 41:1) The lord will preserve him and keep him alive and he shall be blessed upon the earth and thou wilt not deliver him unto the will of his enemies.I am pretty sure that the USA has done this more than any country in the world.Just thought I'd mention that, not bragging but that's a very important issue.But there is an issue that's more important than that.Two parts of that other issue, Psalm chapter 7 verse 11, it says God judges the righteous, and God is angry with the wicked everyday.And over in Psalm chapter 9,verse 17 the wicked shall be turned into hell, and all nations that forget God.So it is extremely important we do not forget God.The God of the Holy Bible,the Son of God....Jesus Christ.Christ died for our sins,taking them on himself in order to redeem our souls back to the heavenly Father.Yet when he returns,he will return as the King of Kings and Lord of Lords.And he will be coming back as The judge!

JUST PASSING THROUGH?

Good morning and good evening depending on where you are at this writing. I hope you have a blessed day and if someone is not saved then i pray you will search for the Lord with all your heart and soul.Read Gods words to you.(Jeremiah chapter 29:13) This scripture applies to ALL people. Hebrews chapter 11 verse one."Now faith is the substance of things hoped for,the evidence of things not seen. Faith is moral conviction,a belief in,it even can be described as assurance.Without it.....it's impossible to please God without it.(Hebrews 11:6) So this morning if you really want real life,real joy,and a all knowing all powerful God who died for you and me to defend us and be an advocate for us if we sin,then know this. VERSE 3 CHAPTER 11 OF Hebrews. "Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God,so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear" Oh my goodness me! Things that are made not made by what we see. I do not see my parents anymore,but i was made by them.I do not see planes made or medicine invented,or almost anything made that is made,but yet i have faith it is made.By the same token i sit on furniture all the time in faith that it will hold me up.I did not build it,nor did i see it built.Yet i trust it. I must say that in my 50 years as a born again Christian,i have done many things on faith. Faith that God thru his Son was going to always do whats best for me.I prayed he would guide me and protect me.And i am a living testimony that he did and continues to do so.I am just briefly touching on the 11th chapter of Hebrews but please read it all. If you do not know the men and women mentioned in this chapter,look them up. They were awesome believers.They are mentioned here in the scriptures for a purpose. The Heavenly Father wants us to look to them and what they accomplished as an example.I ......like them.....am just a stranger in this world. Put here for a purpose and that's to Glorify the Lord Jesus Christ.Do i do a great job of it? Absolutely not.When Jesus knocked on my hearts door,he did not find a perfect human being.(Verse 13) "These all died in faith,not having received the promises,but having seen afar off,and were persuaded of them,and embraced,and confessed,that they were strangers and Pilgrims on the earth. You may be American,German,Russians,you may be from central america,South America,Europe,China,The UK......regardless. If you Trust Christ as your redeemer,then you have the right faith,and your just passing through this world to a better place with Christ in his glory.We have that assurance.

GOTTA RUN SO I WANT BE LATE.

A quick note here on this Sunday evening before i run off to Sunday night church service at my small little church.Another person Baptized this morning,and the Lord blessed the preaching. So here is my scripture for today then i have to run. (THE BOOK OF JAMES CHAPTER 2:VERSE 1.)"My brethren,have not the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ,the Lord of glory,with respect of persons. Read the rest of the chapter and you will see this. Don't look down on people that do not dress the best,or have the riches friends,drive the best car etc. The Holy Spirit convicts sins of all people,and leads them to the death burial resurrection of Jesus Christ.Gotta run so i want be late.

WHERE IS YOUR TREASURE AND YOUR HEART?

Good evening in the USA. I must study the times in other parts of the world.I have noticed overnight reads of my blogs from several other nations. So to you i salute you from America and from my Lord Jesus Christ. You say where do i get that authority? Well i just read again,Acts chapter( 1 :verse 8.)Directly from the mouth of Jesus himself."But ye shall receive power,after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you:and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem,and in all Judea,and in Samaria,and to the UTTER MOST PART OF THE EARTH.) It's my responsibility to spread the Gospel good news to everyone possible. Matthew 29:10,Matthew 24:14,Galatians 6:9,Psalm 96:3, 2nd Timothy 3:16,2nd Thessalonians 2:14-15,John 12:48,John 14:6,1st Corinthians 11:1-2,Ephesians 5:1,and 6:24,John 15:1-27. You see this is what every born again Christian is commanded to do. Not to kill unbelievers as some religions are.But to share the love of Christ and his story.If we pray and read Gods Holy Bible,then our desires change.We want to hear more and more from our Lord. And we get burdened for a lost and dieing world. Where is your heart? Luke chapter 12 :verse 34,For where your heart is ,there will your heart be also.Better yet what do you treasure?

FOR GOOD MEASURE?

O foolish Galatians,who hath bewitched you,that you should not obey the truth,before whose eyes Jesus Christ hath been evidently set forth,crucified among you?(GALATIANS CHAPTER 3:VERSE 1) Paul is still trying to explain to these Galatians that law mingled with works saves not one soul.I should say .....sanctifies no one.He went a little farther in the 2nd verse. "This only would i learn of you,Received ye the Spirit by the works of law,or by the hearing of faith?In the 3rd verse he ask them are they foolish? having begun in the Spirit,are you now made perfect by the flesh? I know from personal experience that by faith in the word of God i heard preached,is when the Holy Spirit entered me.It was not my ability to obey every one of the Ten commandments. oh...i just through that in for good measure.Galatians chapter 3 starting with verse 5. Another question." He therefore that ministereth to you the Spirit,and worketh miracles among you,doeth he it by the works of the law,or by the hearing of faith? So now comes the firm explanation from Paul. "Even as Abraham believed God ,and it was accounted to him as righteousness. Know ye therefore that they which are of faith,the same are the children of Abraham.And the scripture ,forseeing that God would justify the heathen through faith,preached before the gospel unto Abraham,saying,in thee shall all nations be blessed.So then they which be of faith,are blessed with faithful Abraham. Oh what a blessed day when Christ washed all this sinners sins away.Nothing i can do to achieve it,nor should i expect that i could sanctify myself.The Holy Spirit has done it already. And this promise was made to all nations. Including the ones who read my blogs. "For by grace are ye saved through faith;and that not of yourselves :it is the gift of God: Not of works ,lest any man should boast. (EPHESIANS CHAPTER 2:8-9.

ANATHEMA???

Good saturday morning from the USA. God be merciful unto all of us,and place grace in our hearts and in our minds.The Galatians oh my....the Galatians.They were converts of the Apostle Paul,but while he was gone from them they allowed preachers of another Gospel to come into their lives.The Gospel that says that being good and obeying all stated commandments(The Law)then mingle it with the Gospel of grace and you will be sanctified!Rubbish! Yes Rubbish means to critize severely,and reject as worthless.This is what i do and i am in great company. The Apostle Paul who led these Galatians to Christ,did exactly that when he returned and found how they had been deceived. The ten commandments and the law of Moses had by the time of Christ turned into hundreds of laws and rituals.Paul preached the Gospel of Jesus Christ.He preached that at the appearance of Christ,the teaching changed.The old mosaic laws were of no more effect. He preached that Christ died ,was buried ,and had risen again,and that because of that we now have redemption through the shed blood of Jesus.This is referred to as GRACE. Definition of grace is.....the free unmerited favor of God. We cannot earn it.Another definition is ...simple elegance or refinement.Refinement? Well lets look at that.Definition:The process of removing impurities or unwanted elements from a substance. Wow!!! The unwanted here is our sin.The guilt of it.The substance here is our souls. I feel from living in AMERICA today,we need a reminder of what grace is and reaffirm our vows to accept the truth of the True Gospel.No man made laws no matter how well the intentions are can sanctify us.Definition: to make holy,set apart as sacred. Neither can any church ritual,or church law.The book of Galatians chapter 1 verses 1 through 9). I have to add that the entire chapter 1 needs to be read. Its clear. Verse 9 is clear about the title of my sermon.Anathema...."As we said before,so say i now again,If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received,let him be accursed.

IT IS NOT EXPEDIENT

Good afternoon. In this message i wish to speak on legalization of the christian walk. In the book of Galatians chapter 4:verses 15-18. It must have been that The Apostle Paul had been to this area known as Gaul once before and he was received with his Gospel Of Jesus Christ very well. They loved his message. History records that these people were very ruff people sometimes referred to as barbarians by some biblical scholars. None the less they received the gospel that Paul preached with zeal.Then from all my studies i see that Paul is asking them what in the world happened.He is getting on them for falling for false teachers who came in after he had left and flattered the galatians with new doctrine,just so they could gain from it. But he then told them that it is ok to be zealously affected by a good person with sound doctrine. Both when he was present with them and also when he was not present with them.The point is that old rituals and legalistic doctrine,which gives no place for grace,is not truthful.Paul preached salvation by grace through faith.Gods grace,our faith.Not pretending to do good enough as by the law to reach the kingdom of Heaven.Paul clearly taught grace cannot co-exist with law.So in the( 5th chapter of Galatians verses 1-5 )The apostle tells us this. Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ has made us free,and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.Behold,I Paul say unto you,that if ye be circumcised,Christ shall profit you nothing.For i testify again to every man that is circumcised,that he is a debtor to do the whole law. Christ is become of no effect unto you,whosoever of you are justified by the law;ye are fallen from grace.For we through the Spirit wait for hope of righteousness by faith. And a very huge footnote. Losing salvation had nothing to do with what Paul was speaking about.He was calling these so called converts out on there believing the law can save.He makes it clear in the context of these two chapters 4 and 5 that if you believe the ten commandments,or circumcision,or anything else other than Grace through faith can save you.....then your WRONG! And he was clearly upset.I will tell you that grace does not mean its expedient to disregard Gods commandments,it just gives us an advocate with the Father....that being the person of Jesus Christ.

JEWELS?

The following will be Three things the Lord has shown me this morning. #1.we are not gonna get away with mocking God.We will reap what we sow. #2.when we sow (or satisfy) our flesh,from the corrupt rewards of the flesh we shall reap. #3.But if we sow(satisfy)the Spirit,then we will reap eternal Life. Add a 4th point. #4.Don't get lazy,and wearied,because in due season we will reap. Actually the word faint is used for lazy. The actual text? (GALATIANS CHAPTER 6:VERSES 7,8,9) Be not deceived;God is not mocked:for whatsoever a man soweth,that shall he also reap. For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption;but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.And let us not be weary in well doing:for in due season we shall reap,if we faint not. The thought comes to my mind this morning concerning thoughts some have had. The thought that well......the scripture old and new Testament has been around for centuries so whats the use in continuing to preach it?What is the urgency? Let me say this. I know its a DAH,question for some,but every day as we breathe many are born,many pass from this life,and you may be very surprised at how many are ignorant of Gods salvation plan,knowing very little.Millions do not know Gods word has in it jewels to live by. Jewels that will make them spiritually alive. Regenerated is a good word. While many will say they don't want to hear it,God is preparing the hearts of many to receive it.The risk of spending eternity in a burning hell is just not acceptable. So preachers load up ,or reload,and pray for passion in your message. Teach everyone that we must feed our Spirits and not our flesh.Very hard to do,but The Spirit of God(HOLY SPIRIT) will do it for us.

HOW GREAT THOU ART.

Be merciful unto me ,O God,be merciful unto me:for my soul trusteth in thee:yea in the shadows of thy wings will i make my refuge,until these calamaties be overpast. I will cry unto God that performeth all things for me.(PSALM 57:VERSES 1 AND 2) Oh my....pastors,evangelist,teachers? Are you taking the time this morning to reflect on Gods goodness. Have you taken thought of the calamities that God has saved you from. By allowing you to huddle safely under his wings while he dealt with the storm? Have you cried out to him because you trust him entirely in your soul? You are in a hostile world.You cannot fight these spiritual battles on your own. Go ahead and read the rest of the 57th Psalm but stop at verse 7. Look at this. This should be us.Our hearts should be fixed. Fixed on the heavenly Father through his Son Jesus Christ.Over the years of history ,many debates have been raged over how much man has to do with his salvation,and does he have a choice.I say from my years of being a Christian i believe we have everything to do with it.We cannot save ourselves for certain but we can choose to accept Gods only Son and the death burial and resurrection of Christ.PROOF....MY heart is fixed,I will sing,I will praise ,I will awake.All this is his choice,this can be our choice.Keep preaching the Full council of God,Old and new testaments and present everyone with this choice. (my prayer)Dear Holy, Heavenly Father....Oh how long have you drawn me unto you and placed me under your wings,as i dealt with the storms of life.Oh Father as i thought i knew what was best for me,and you let me wonder in the wilderness doing as i wished.Yet i felt your presence around me and your wings of protection. And i am sure i could feel the prayers of other saints as they came before your Throne.I ask that many souls will choose your gift,and i pray you pour out your Spirit upon men so they can see truly HOW GREAT THOU ART!!! In Jesus name i ask these things. AMEN.

The further study of men of God gone down in history as Gods great men.While i find it very interesting i do not claim i believe each ones theology.One thing i do know.....that i as they are born again,not by our own power but by the grace of God,through Jesus Christ.

THE ONE BEFORE?

NO, one generation does not have to live as the one before! Gods laws which include Commandments by the Son of God in the new testament,should be made known by fathers to their children and their children to their children.(Psalm chapter 78 verses 5 and 6.) why? why? why? That they might set their hope in God,and not forget the works of God,but keep his commandments.vs. 7. So then there is a might not... listed in here. vs. 8 And might not be as their fathers, a stubborn and rebellious generation; a generation that set not their heart aright,and whose spirit was not steadfast with God.I know many people in my life that their fathers took them to church all the time,and they learned of God,and accepted his son JESUS CHRIST as their saviour.They hid Gods words in their hearts and though some may have strayed,they came back to the Lord,repented of being a prodigal son or daughter and came back to Jesus.This being their testimony to the next generation.You see its very important what we leave our kids. Not just money,or property,you may not have any. Not how to be adulterous,dishonest,full of anger and bitterness towards anyone etc.But most important is a testimony of getting our hearts right with God,thru his son Jesus Christ and teaching them to do the same.The entire Psalm 78 is loaded with things the Lord did for Israel. What has he done for you. Think about it.Then share with the next generation how Great God has been to you. I could give testimony of my salvation experience but that's another day.

THAT DEER IN THE HEADLIGHT LOOK?

And they remembered that God was their rock,and high God their Redeemer.Psalm chapter 78:verses 35 -39. Never the less they did flatter him with their mouth and they lied unto him with their tongues.For their heart was not right with him,neither were they stedfast in his covenant. But he ,being full of compassion,forgave their iniguity ,and destroyed them not:,yea many a time turned he his anger away,and did not stir up his wrath.But he remembered that they were but flesh; a wind that passeth away,and come not again. My my my......oh how i shutter to think on how mankind still regardeth not God and his word.These people in this scripture knew God,and that he was their Redeemer and yet they spoke good of him and lied to Gods face.The Bible says their hearts were not right with God.Oh my oh my......but listen up God forgives sin and is this case he did not destroy his people.The Bible says he was full of compassion.The Lord remembered that his people were but flesh.Here,for a while then gone. Gone then does not come back.This sounds all so familiar.It seems sometimes when i speak with people and mention just how mortal we are,they give me that deer in the headlight look."Lord this day and every day i pray i never forget that you are my redeemer.Meaning you paid the ultimate price for my soul.That you are my rock. Lord i never want to try and flatter you with my words or lie to you with my tongue.Thank you for reminding me i am just flesh.But....thank you for turning away your wrath from me.I love you Lord and i pray for the conviction of souls.Thank you Father for babying me as you did the people of Israel all thru your scriptures.Providing for me my needs while all the time forgiving me my iniquity.(sin)

WHO WOULD NOT FEAR THEE.

Who would not fear thee O King of nations?for to thee doth it appertain:(concern) forasmuch as among all the wise men of the nations,and in all their kingdoms,there is none like unto thee. But they are altogether brutish and foolish: the stock is a doctrine of vanities.(JEREMIAH CHAPTER 10 VERSES 7 AND 8.) Skip to verse 10.But the Lord is the true God,he is the living God,and everlasting King:at his wrath the earth shall tremble, and the nations shall not be able to abide his indignation. Wow! In the following verses The one living God gives us the answer to what happens to all the little gods that man has created.verses 11 thru 15.I love it when the Heavenly Father says these little gods have no breath in them,and they are false gods.(verse 14) Verse 13 shows how powerful our God is. When he uttereth his voice ,their is a multitude of waters in the heavens and he causes vapors to ascend from the ends of the earth;he maketh lightnings with rain,and bringeth forth the wind out of his treasures. At this point the Lord would have me say this to all of us.Do not fear death.....chapter 2 of the book of GENESIS. And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground,and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life;and man became a living soul. So remember ,every breath you take belongs to the one who gave it to you.Its his to take and his to give.So with every breath praise him.(Psalm 150:verse 6). Let everything that has breath praise the lord. (prayer).....This morning Father i stop asking for things for just a minute, And i say All glory in life be yours. All glory for being longsuffering to me.All glory for saving my breath so many times.Giving me this chance to praise you while i am here.And how could i not fear thee. I bow my knees to you. And i continually confess thou art the Lord.(Amen)

SUPERNATURAL,NOT NATURAL!

A message this morning to all young men.Psalm chapter 119:verses 9 thru 19. Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way? by taking heed thereto according to thy word. With my whole heart i have sought thee: O let me not wonder from thy commandments.Thy word have i hid in my heart,that i might not sin against thee. Blessed O Lord:teach me thy statutes.With my lips have i declared all the judgments of thy mouth.I have rejoiced in the ways of thy testimonies,as much as in all riches.I will mediate in thy precepts,and have respect unto all thy ways.. I will delight in thy statutes:I WILL NOT FORGET THY WORD. I was once a young man,exposed to both the evil and the good.At the age of 12 yrs. i cried out in God to save me. To save my soul.He never forgot me. He never forsook me. I forsook his ways many times,but he protected me all thru those times.He has always had his word here in the HOLY BIBLE to lead me. But like many i thought i had to help him. No i did not have to help him. His faithfulness to his own word kept me.So here i am. Take my word for it,young men and women. There is pleasure in sin but only for a short season.Case in point Hebrews chapter 11:verse 25. Look back at all the wasted years,months days etc. living in sin,going the way of man Rather than following Christ and letting him guide our lives.God is a great God,and its all about him. Jesus Christ the same yesterday ,today and forever more.(HEBREWS CHAPTER 13 :VERSE 8) If we have issues that trouble us,learning to do our best,and turn over to Jesus all the rest is not a natural course to take. But....it is imperative that we do so,because it's a super natural thing to do. Do not forget the Lord and his statutes. Study the Holy scripture and ask the Lord to give you wisdom.If you are not a believer....you can still pray and ask God to forgive you,and accept and believe on JESUS CHRIST as the son of God. It will turn your life and the way you see it all around.Then apply this to your everyday life.

LIFTED TO THE LEVEL OF DEVINE LOVE!

I find this very encouraging."When thou makest a dinner or a supper,call not thy friends,nor thy brethren,neither thy kinds men,nor thy rich neighbors;lest they bid thee again,and recompence be made thee. But when thou makest a feast call the poor,the maimed,the lame,the blind:And thou shalt be blessed;for they cannot recompense thee:(i love this part)for thou shall be recompensed at the resurrection of the just.( THE WORDS OF THE LORD Jesus Christ) Luke chapter 14 verses 12 thru 14)Oh my ....this is a real ministry.Christ is the resurrection and the life(JOHN CHAPTER 11:VERSE 25 AND 26) "I AM THE RESURRECTION AND THE LIFE:HE THAT BELIEVETH IN ME,THOUGH HE WERE DEAD,YET SHALL HE LIVE:AND WHOSOEVER LIVETH AND BELIEVETH IN ME SHALL NEVER DIE.BELIEVETH THOU THIS? So have a heart for the needy.Do what you can and your reward will be awesomely powerful. I recall a distant ancestor of mine,actually my Grandfathers cousin.The testimony she left behind is powerful. At the age of 15 i traveled with a couple of family members to a small town in rural Alabama.This was the summer of 1969.My Granddad had just past away,and we did it out of respect. Upon arrival at this church,i recall it sat back from the road and people parked their cars in the field in front of the church under trees.Wow there were cars everywhere. All over the front,back,down the country road. I do not recall my reaction. But as time went on i never forgot that trip. We got inside and oh my,one half of this big old church house sat almost all Black folks.The other side white folks. So many that people were all over the outside could not get in.I had never heard happy shouting at a funeral before. But it came mostly from the black folk. Fast forward 30+ years and i dropped in just down the street from this church to the little town hall. A lady was locking up city hall but i stopped her to see if i could find this church again,and the home of my Granddads cousin. This lady was married to a guy who was kin to my granddads cousin. She told me the reason for so much respect from the black community in town was because back before Welfare etc,that my grandads cousin would take many people ,mostly black into her home a nurse them back to health after them being very sick.She fed the hungry and nursed the sick.The town has made her home a museum.WOW! What an example of Jesus words.I am sure she has gotten her reward for the just,as Jesus was talking about.I never knew her,but one day soon i shall see her. And her testimony of following Christ is still alive.Some 46 years later. Oh but if we all loved Jesus that much,and learned to love people the way he does.

NO TITLE!

This morning i wish to for the sake of stirring interest,mix a little election politics with pure undefiled religion. The Lord Jesus Christ himself made a few points in the gospel according to Luke verses 8 thru 11. He made the point in these verses to tell us that if your a guest to a wedding,do not sit at the best table,or room voluntarily. In case the Host comes and tells you to let a person of higher esteem have your seat.Then you will give up that seat in shame and take a lesser seat.Jesus said go sit in the lowest seat first then the Host may come and say to you go take the greater seat.The Lord then said in verse 11("FOR WHOSOEVER EXALTED HIMSELF SHALL BE ABASED,(ACTS IN A MANNER AS TO DEGRADE THEMSELVES,OR BELITTLE THEMSELVES);AND HE THAT HUMBLETH HIMSELF SHALL BE EXALTED. This is what the son of God says we should do. Well i must say that many do not like Donald Trump because they feel he is not humble. I say he probably is more than we give him credit.He is in a dirty business right at this moment and some see his arrogance as bad,and some see it as he is a strong individual. Little David could have been considered arrogant When he approached the leaders of the Israelites and declared he would fight The giant and he would win! Being strong and of good courage is not arrogant! Please know the difference.I pray for Mr. Trump everyday. That God will lead him in the way he should go. Media despisers of Trump are actually not supporters of anyone.Why do i say that? Because one minute they are for you,the next they try to destroy you.That my friend is evil.An example is if the man or women they are for is doing poorly,then they will do everything in their power to destroy the one who is winning.(just an observation). But i believe God is in control. God will humble Trump if thats indeed what Trump needs. He doesn't need our help. FYI: many of the Republican candidates are decent people,but I feel Trump towers(no pun intended)over them all. He appears to be a huge cut above. Can i be wrong? Of course. That's why i pray. I just like THE DONALD.....Want whats best for America.News flash,Trump cares much more about the needy in this country than most of the other candidates. That's this mans opinion,and at this point i still support him. I also have to say that some of the excuses some give for being against him are so lame and petty.You guys have got to do better than that.Draft dodger,when he actually got college deferments. He is against gun owners rights,when in fact he is all for gun owners rights. Any way.....i just wanted to make this blog a little more interesting. Please do not attack me for using my Freedom of speech right. If your person wins,then more power to ya.Hope you found it interesting,because i remember a time,twice,1976,and 1980 where i was attacked for supporting Ronald Reagan,and guess what? We see how that worked out. He made America Great Again.Which included religious liberty,help for the poor,a strong military,and the collapse of the Soviet Union.And all that without a take over of another country.Sounds like Trump to me. If you didn't like those values...then vote for a weaker President. I support your right to do that. (AMEN)

IT MATTERS!

Good morning world. This morning i would like to touch briefly on whats profitable for the Gospel of Christ and whats not. I do not claim to be an expert on the scripture. But i can read. I read that the Holy Spirit will tell me what to say,what to write,what to think,and all this at the Heavenly Fathers discretion! My advise this morning is to read all commentaries with caution.But first pray over every single study session.Don't make claims that are not clearly stated in scripture.If we are not sure about what one is saying,its ok to say we are not certain. Look at the subject matter and use the Hillary Clinton claim. What does that matter. This morning i say without hesitation that i believe the Holy Bible makes it clear,Hell is real and the fire is never quenched there.It also makes it clear that Heaven is where The Heavenly Father and His Son Jesus Christ reside.And if you accept Christ you will spend Forever and ever with Jesus Christ in heaven.The afore mentioned beliefs of mine for certain do matter.Argueing over theology is not profitable for the Gospel. I am not certain that some commentary about who will see what from heaven is correct. BUT,i will also say i may be incorrect. This i do know....Jesus said himself in luke chapter 13 verses 24 thru 28,that we should strive to enter in at the strait gate:he also said many will seek to enter in,and shall not be able.He also that once the master has shut the door it's to late. Many will call on him to open the shut door and it will be to late.Then in the 24th verse he tells us all what unbelievers will see. This i know for certain.He says that teeth gnashing and weeping will be going on when the lost soul sees all the prophets in the Kingdom of God,and themselves thrust out.Those my friends are the actual words of Jesus Christ the son of God.If i have left out anything concerning what believers will actually see in that day,its because i am not 100 percent sure of Isaiah chapter 66:verse 24's literal meaning concerning the saints.But i understand clearly what Christ himself said.So on this note i know this as well. Fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.

LIFE IS UNFAIR????

So millions say life is unfair? In many nations,poverty is the reason for that feeling along with the usual dictator oppression! I can see how that would make them complain. In America we have both poor,and rich people. Yet they also say life is unfair.WOW! Ok, so now we have Solomon in the Holy Bible stating exactly why this is. (Ecclesiastes chapter 8:verses 11,12 ,13.) Here Solomon makes a few points. #1. Men, because God does not execute judgement speedily the hearts of men decide to do evil. #2. Solomon admits that though a man do evil his days can be prolonged. #3.He then shows us that he surely knows that for those that fear the Lord it will be well with them. #4 He then states that it shall NOT be well with the wicked. #5.Because he feareth not before God. So the point is that regardless of a mans life span mankind with God in his life is better off with him not in his life. Don't be so sure of how long you may live.The condition of the soul and what it takes to redeem it,is whats important!For the believer there is the promise of eternal life following death which is the hope for living. Please never think God is not watching. But he is also waiting.Waiting for men and women to repent of their sin and be saved.Starting with Adam in the Garden of Eden we all have rebelled against The great I AM.(God)Romans chapter 3:verse 23. "For all have sinned ,and come short of the glory of God"And "While we were yet sinners,Christ died for us.(ROMANS 5:8) Then always remember this......(Isaiah chapter 65:verse 24.) And it shall come to pass,that before they call,i will answer;and while they are yet speaking I will hear. CHRIST is the son of God.No matter how bad you think you have been,God wants you to listen to him,and when he calls you,hear him.Choose him for that is what delights him. (Isaiah chapter 66:verse 4)

MANY A HOLY HOUR.

The famous Godly man F.B.Meyer once said....while rushing through the country at express speed he had Spent many a holy hour" As a Hauler of freight,across this great nation of the United States i can truthfully say i know a little About that.But not near enough.

ON MY HEART.

WHO CAN FIND A VIRTUOUS WOMEN? for her price is far above rubies. The heart of her husband doth safely trust in her,so he shall have no need of spoil.She will do him good and not evil all the days of her life.She seeketh wool,and flax and worketh willingly with her hands. She is like the merchants ships;she bringeth her food from afar.She riseth also while it is night,and giveth meat to her household,and a portion to her maidens.(This all is from the 31st chapter of Proverbs verses 10 thru 15. The rest of the chapter is also great read.This was a king that had a his mother was giving him advice on how to live as a king.She told him in the previous verses not to drink wine,lest he forget the law ,and pervert judgement of any of the afflicted.She then said something very at odds with some beliefs. She said give strong drink unto him that is ready to perish,and wine unto those that be of heavy hearts. This scripture speaks of the dignity and honor of a women. Seems to me that this women was an honorable women and that its very important that a mother teach her son the values of living for the Lord and the fear of the Lord. This mother cared for the poor and needy,and told her son that as king he should also do that. While i feel in America we have very poor leadership many times....some leaders plead the cause of the poor and needy.But i am not sure which ones do it for filty lucres sake,and which ones actually care. I will not get into the entire chapter ,that is for another time. My prayer this morning.......dear heavenly Father i pray for all people on this earth,that their kings will heed this advice.For the sake of their needy which are many. Many hungry children walk streets of many countries,many mothers and Dads grieve for themselves and their families.Oh God hear their cries and speak to the heart of their kings.Speak to the hearts of the Kings of America. Thank you for Godly women that fear you,and look well after their households.This is what the Lord has laid on my heart this early morning. (AMEN)

THEY SERVE THEIR OWN BELLY

Good afternoon,i hope everyone has had a very special day. A blessed Day. Most people if truthful have issues of somekind. Many issues they did not invite.Some they did. For all of you i pray the Lord use those issues to draw you closer and closer to him. Now....to what i wish to share. Romans Chapter 16 verses 17 and 18. I know i'm not the first to ever speak about this but i must do what i must do. Here the apostle Paul was teaching by writing to the gentile believers.Although there are many lessons all humans could extract from this.For me personally...i have a relationship with the Heavenly Father through his son Jesus Christ.So because of that i with much love and humility,yet Holy Boldness speak these things i learn from The apostle Paul and i rejoice because it draws me closer and closer to him(CHRIST).There are many many false prophets in our world today.I could call names but i will not.But in these 2 verses are some of the greatest warnings and a commandment to us Christians.Paul starts out being very tactful and gracious.He ends in a commandment.Today i know people who watch TV evangelism.Seems many on there fit the bill for what the apostle Paul was speaking of. So thus begins his warnings. Mark these people. Watch beware,take aim. These people will sow discord,tearing apart,disunion,and they will incite people to rebel against authority.He says mark them for they will do all this against what you have already learned from study of Gods word,or intellectually from others in the faith. Galatians chapter 3:verses 1 and 2. The Bible says avoid them.The bible says they serve not Jesus Christ,but their own belly;and by good words and fair speeches they deceive the hearts of the simple. Simple in this case meaning unsuspecting.This is not me being a judge,its the word of God. some of the a for mentioned modern day preachers,have even called for an apology from the apostles.They should be ashamed of themselves. The apostle Paul was warning born again brothers and sisters here to be united.My word is support your local Bible believing church. Get in the word(The Holy Bible)Pray without ceasing,and salute the brethren and like Romans 16:2....assist your pastor teachers etc. in whatever business that they have need.

God bless all who are reading this! Go to church Sunday,and worship the Lord,spread the gospel,and pray for me,as i pray for you all. I must rest now.Remember.....the Lord never sleeps or slumbers.(night from the USA.)

FEARLESS ADOPTED CHILDREN AND JOINT HEIRS!

For as many as are led by the Spirit of God,they are the sons of God. For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear;but ye have received the Spirit of adoption,whereby we cry Abba Father.The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit,that we are the children of God: And if children,then heirs;of God,and joint heirs with Christ;if so be that we suffer with him,that we may be also glorified together.(the book of Romans chapter 8:verses 14 thru 17.) Do not fear,we have been adopted into the family of God,Gods Holy Spirit bears witness with our spirit they we are his children,and last but not least we are joint heirs with Christ. If we suffer with him we also will be glorified with him. Awesome words to retire to bed having put it in my heart.I love you dear Lord for all you have done and will continue to do in my life.

THE WASTED YEARS OF MY LIFE.

Behold ,I shew you a mystery;We shall not all sleep,but we shall all be changed, In a moment,in the twinkling of an eye,at the last trump:for the trumpet shall sound,and the dead shall be raised incorruptible,and we shall be changed. For this corruptible must put on incorruption,and and this mortal must put on immortality.(1st Corinthians chapter 15:verses 51,52,and 53.) In this passage it is clear that all believers will not die.It explains exactly what is to happen to many believers and exactly how it is to happen.I have to tell you it will be a glorious day when this occurs.I personally have known many who have perished over my life time,that were believers.Yes i miss them,and i am looking very much forward to seeing them again.Their life is over here on this earth but mine still remains.So i must share Gods plan of salvation to as many as i can,the best way i know how.I also wish to encourage as many believers as i can as well.I wish to thank my Pastor,our church choir,our Sunday School teachers,our special singers. Every single person that works at our church to assure me that Gods people go on. I've seen things get tight,and i have also witnessed members step up and keep things going during those brief times. Once we were without a piano player for a Sunday,and i personally was concerned and figured that we would sing without instruments. To my surprise,there was a lady playing that morning,and a gentlemen that night,and they both did marvelous.I found out how they got there. An elderly lady,who raised 3 or 4 wonderful Christian kids,who is front and center working different jobs for our little church had stepped up and taken care of that issue. God bless her.Then on another occasion our Pastor was very very sick,was absent from Sunday service.I did not know this until announcements were made that another elderly member was gonna preach both services. I thought oh my.Guess what,that man was at one time the pastor at our church(before i became a member) years ago. He also had filled in over the years as pastor a few times. I know...whats my point and what does it have to do with 1st Corinthians chapter 15:verses 51,52,53? By the way both theses people i mentioned are in their 80's. Attend church every time their is a function. IT'S relevance? These Godly people,raised christian children,sent them out into our world,they love Jesus,and one day i will be able to live in Glory(heaven)with these faithful people. And millions like them. FYI: I wasn't sure where the Lord wanted me to go with this but now i know. Watching them makes me so ashamed of the wasted years of my life.

Be watching.

Watch ye therefore:for ye know not when the master of the house cometh,at even,or at midnight,or at the cockcrowing,or in the morning:Lest coming suddenly find you sleeping. And what i say unto all,Watch.(The book of Mark chapter 13:verses 35 thru 37) Jesus is coming soon!It may not be while you live,but he's coming.If you are saved you will come back with him.For all those that say where is the promise of his coming....its right here in these 3 verses!

BRETHREN MY HEARTS DESIRE.

I'd rather have Jesus than silver or gold, I'd rather be his than have riches untold; I'd rather have Jesus than houses or land, Yes i'd rather be led by his nail scared hand. Than to be the king of a vast domain And be held in sin's dread sway I'd rather have Jesus than anything This old world affords today. These are the words of a beautiful Christian song.And i am sure this is what R.A. Torrey had in mind when he said these words in front of a British audience in the early 1900's. He said I WOULD RATHER WIN SOULS THAN BE THE GREATEST KING OR EMPEROR ON EARTH;I WOULD RATHER WIN SOULS THAN BE THE GREATEST GENERAL THAT EVER COMMANDED AN ARMY......MY ambition in life is to win as many as possible. Oh,it is the only thing worth doing,to save souls;and men and women,we can all do it. As i was studying the life od R.A.Torrey that song came to my heart. Torrey's words inspire my soul to preach,and my heart to win souls. Today there are so many young people,old people,middle aged folks that need Jesus Christ.Just listen to the news about wars and rumors of wars,killings of young students that profess faith in JESUS.World religions that claim they are the way you should live,yet their way leads to death. Jesus offers everlasting life.As i was out and about today,i looked around me and saw people going in bars in the middle of the day,going to and fro busy working to pay for their earthly goods etc. Some to pay for entertainment.I had this thought. I said self,is all this worth the exchange for my soul? Of course it isn't! R.A. Torrey was just as i was at some point in his life. Then we both realized that the carnal life was not working out so well for us. Many different men and women have different testimonies,but in the end we are brothers in Christ as we share the Words of Romans chapter 10 verses 9,10,11,12,13. SOULS SOULS SOULS SOULS! My friends,this is what weighs in the balance.Matthew 16:26.....what shall a man give in exchange for his soul? Please today,exchange your sin filled life with all its temporary pleasures for a life living for Christ,and eternal life. If your backslidden,then come back home to Jesus.

Searching the heart.

THE HEART IS DECEITFUL ABOVE ALL THINGS,AND DESPERATELY WICKED:WHO CAN KNOW IT? I THE lORD SEARCH THE HEART,I TRY TE REIGNS,EVEN TO GIVE EVERY MAN ACCORDING TO THE FRUIT OF HIS DOINGS.(JEREMIAH CHAPTER 17:VERSES 9 AND 10.) As i go to rest,i humble my heart towards the one that knows it.I pray he searches my heart to see if there be any wicked way that needs to be purged from me.I love you Lord,my redeemer.Forgive me all my sins,even the ones i am not aware of.Be not a terror unto me:thou art my hope in the day of evil. (JEREMIAH 17:17)

BEFORE ITS TO LATE.

HEAR MY PRAYER,OH LORD,AND LET MY CRY COME UNTO THEE. Hide not thy face from me in the day when i am in trouble; incline thine ear unto me:in the day that i call answer me speedily.(psalm 102) This entire chapter expresses the feelings of many who do not believe,but the Lord can and will save you. And he want waste time doing it. If you read this chapter,and you feel the way King David did in this Psalm,then call on the Lord.Verse 17 says it all. (He will regard the prayer of the destitute,and not despise their prayer. Omy....he is a loving kind merciful God who cares about each of us and what is good for us. PSALM 103 VERSES 1 AND 2.Bless the Lord,o my soul: and all that is within me,bless his Holy name.Bless the Lord ,oh my soul,and forget not all his benefits. Oh my i'm tired,its been a long day for me.I regret i have to sleep while the Lord is on my heart so much at this time. The Lord is merciful and gracious,slow to anger,and plentious in mercy. He will not always chide:neither will he keep his anger forever.(Psalm 103 verses 8 and 9. Please grow closer to the one that loves us so.And if you want everlasting life then give your heart to Christ and turn your life over to him.Before time runs out. For he knoweth our frame;he remembereth that we are dust.

THY FAITH HATH SAVED THEE.

As we here in America sit back and watch the world emplode,Russia on the march in the middle east,Iran threaten Israels existence,our President seemingly supporting ISALM our enemy.........how can we not see that the blessed day of the Lord Jesus return is eminent?How can we sit by idle and watch our fellow man deny and even scoff the Lord and his return. This time yesterday there were 13 people in Oregon that never thought for a million years that they would be in eternity today.Yet tonight,on social media there are Haters of Christ spewing out some of the most ignorant comments known to God and man about Jesus. Mocking him as imaginary,speaking total ignorant doctrines they believe in. Listen to the words of Jesus himself."Whereunto then shall i liken the men of this generation?and to what are they like? the book of LUKE chapter7:verse 31. Skip to verses 33 and 34. For John the Baptist came neither eating bread nor drinking wine;and ye say,He hath a devil. The son of man has come eating and drinking;and ye say,winebibber,a friend of publicans and sinners! This is an example of how Jesus exposed the unreason of unbelief. You cannot please some people regardless of what you say to them. I say this,just as my Lord said....Thy faith hath saved thee;go in peace.
