JOY THIS MORNING!

That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you, that you also may have fellowship with us, and truly our Fellowship is with the Father and with his son Jesus Christ. And these things write we unto you that your joy may be full. Taken from the King James version of the Holy Bible. 1st John chapter one vs3 and 4. A prayer: dear Heavenly Father, I praise you and I am deeply touched and moved in my spirit, by the fact that you had the Apostles write these things of encouragement for those of us who remain. That we might have joy and confidence and holy boldness, and then we can stand blameless Before the Throne because of the shedding of your blood on Calvary. And because you rose from the dead we shall rise. And be with you forever. AMEN.Thanks for reading my blogs.

Direction....the perfect direction.

Some more encouragement and also a strong explanation. Faith assures us of things we expect and convinces US of the existence of things we cannot see. God accepted our ancestors the cause of their faith. Faith convinces us that God created the world through his word this means what can be seen was made by something that could not be seen. Abel, Enoch, Noah, Abraham, all these people died having faith. They did not receive the things that God promised them but they saw these things coming in the distant future and rejoiced. They acknowledged that they were living as strangers with no permanent home on Earth. Those that say such things are looking for their own country. If they had been thinking about the country that they had left ,they could have found a way to go back. Instead these men were longing for a better country. That is why God is not ashamed to be called their God he has prepared a city for them. This scripture his from the book of Hebrews chapter 11 vs 1 through 16. What kind of faith do you have. The Bible says without faith it's impossible to please God.A prayer: dear heavenly father strengthen my faith, strengthen my faith so that I will be willing to follow your direction. Amen and thanks for reading my blog.

WHAT TO BE BURIED WITH? WHAT CAN WASH AWAY MY SIN...NOTHING BUT THE BLOOD OF JESUS.

A man buried in a casket in Liverpool England with his old Bible placed in his hand in the coffin. On his gravestone the scripture Ephesians chapter 2 Verse 8. And 2nd Timothy chapter 4 verse 7. Which says I have fought a good fight I have finished my course I have kept the faith. Yes indeed this would be a fantastic finish for any born again Christian who serves God with all of his heart and all of his soul and loves the Lord with all of his soul and all of his might. The man buried with his Bible was John Charles Ryle. This information was taken from a book called 50 people every Christian should know. Brother Ryan was truly a man with a big heart... But do not be mistaken... He was a man like so many men and women before and after him, that exercised the courage of his or her convictions. I sit here on my front porch reading about this man, already having a devotional with the Lord myself in the house. Just can't get enough studying what God has to say, and all the men and women of God that have gone on before and are experiencing the glory of God in person in heaven. Dare to be these kind of people. Especially to the young but not to exclude the elderly. A prayer... Dear heavenly father thank you for the time you've given me to spend alone with you.Amen,and bless you for reading my blog.

A CHECK,A PIN NUMBER,AN I.D. OR SIGNATURE?

A prayer:You do not want me to sin.But you paid for my every evil act....not only my sins,but the sins of the whole world.(AMEN)1ST JOHN CHAPTER 2:VERSES 1 AND 2.My dear children,i am writing this to you so that you will not sin.Yet,if anyone does sin,we have Jesus Christ ,who has God's full approval.He speaks on our behalf when we come into the presence of the Father. He is the payment for our sins,and not only for our sins,but also for the sins of the whole world. My dear children,and God's full approval,and he is payment......wow. These are the things i like to hear early in the morning,when i am having a ruff day...not feeling very well....then God gets a hold of me and my soul and gives me so much joy.I am his child,okay i know John said this about being children,but you can bet Christ told him to say it.God's full approval makes me shout in my soul for the fact we all should understand this.It's wonderful honest truthful doctrine we MUST understand.Oh my then there is THIS! HE (CHRIST)IS PAYMENT FOR OUR SIN.Notice...is....not was.People you can go to him everyday all day anytime and he has the check written out,the pin number for the debit card,the signature and I.D for the charge side of the card,that blots out our sin debt. There is a clear difference between knowingly willingly sinning,and just by human nature being a sinner.In both cases he has us covered by his blood.Trust me,it is not easy to sin when we are in fellowship with the Lord.In my case,i know i feel so humble when i read verses like these. Why you may say? Because i am reminded of The book of Revelation where a mighty angel ask who is worthy to open the seals on the book of life.....and i did not hear my name.I heard Jesus name and the new song that they are going to sing.Worthy is the Lamb who was slain.Oh my...this alone should make us bow our knees to him,ask for forgiveness,then repent and move on.Just make very sure your name is written in this book.The book of life. Thnx for reading my blog.

FLYS AND KNATS...ARE YOU KIDDING ME?

It's been interesting to read up on past very Godly men in our life. It's been interesting to find out that they were actually human just like the rest of us and had opposition. So I made a few notes about one particular man... Taken from the book 50 people every Christian should know! An awesome book with short biographies. The man I am speaking about today he is a man whose name is John Charles Ryle. Born 1816 passed away 1900. Apparently Brother Ryle was a member of the Church of England. He was a member of the Evangelical wing of the Church of England. Here are some notes about what was going on within the church.#1. Brother Ryle was known for the following saying. Beware of divisions. Be at peace among yourselves. The children of the world, if they cannot understand Doctrine; they can definitely understand quarreling and controversy.#2. As I previously said brother Ryle, belonged to the Church of England and was a part of the Evangelical wing of the church. The hierarchy of the Church of England was leaning more towards the Church of Rome.#3. Evangelicals we're not recognized by those in authority. They were not promoted or offered the better Churches. The majority of the clergy endured their presents like fishermen do flies and gnats. You have to love that comparison. Evangelicals we're not appointed to the boards of various Church Ministries. Or ask to preach an important church functions. #4. Evangelicals practiced their faith and pushed such social issues as stopping slavery etc.#5. They shocked there more proper Brethren by daring to preach out of doors as Jesus and Paul did.#6. For all of this they were of course criticized. In this short lesson today my point is to encourage as long as it scriptural to stand your ground, but at the same time keep moving forward in finding ways to disciple you

ng, middle-aged, and older members of your flock. Try to avoid being a stick-in-the-mud. Dare to be just a little different. Preaching Outdoors caring for the needy is not a terrible thing to do. There can be Joy serving the lord with passion and of course perseverance. You may belong to a church small or large and you're feeling defeated rejected. You don't always have to leave the church and go join another one and you don't have to be combative all the time with your fellow brothers and sisters. But you do have to stay in the word of God fall more and more in love with Christ and the heavenly Father. You must pray without ceasing never let God Rest until he tells you what you need to know and what you need to do. Always remember it's all in God's time line, not yours. If you will but study the notes I gave you,you will see, adversity is not new to the church or to any organization. You don't want to create Discord among the brethren. But being zealous about the work of the Lord and spreading it is not sowing Discord. Notice in point number 3... The word endured, and flies, and gnats LOL. You very well may be treated this way. But keep it up. God has many places in the church house for you to work.Amen.and thanks for reading my blog.

MEMORIES.

DINKY STEALS FLAG AT CEMETARY....I FUEL BIG TRUCK ON I-81 IN VIRGINIA.

THE WRONG KIND OF LOVE.♡

Don't love the world and what it offers. Those who love the world don't have the Father's Love in them. Not everything that the world offers, physical gratification, greed, and extravagant lifestyles... Come from the father. It comes from the world and the world and it's evil desires are passing away. But the person who does what God wants, lives forever. This scripture from the book of First John chapter 2 starting with verse 15 going through verse 17. A prayer: my sins? Forgiven. I know you will and I am winning against the evil one. So don't let me fall for the world or anything it offers. None of it comes from you. It's all passing away. Amen and thanks for reading my blog.

AND OF COURSE BUDDY-BOO.

JOHN WAYNE AND DINKY.

NEVER UNDER ESTIMATE.

When Jesus went to Capernaum, a Roman army officer came to beg him for help. The officer said, sir, my servant is lying at home paralyzed and in terrible pain. Jesus said to him I will come to heal him. The officer responded sir, I don't deserve to have you come into my house. But just give a command and my servant will be healed. As you know I'm in a chain of command and have soldiers at my command. I tell one of them go, and he goes... And another,come, and he comes. I tell my servant do this and he does it. Jesus was amazed when he heard this. He said to those who were following him and ,I quote, I can guarantee this I haven't found Faith as great as this in anyone in Israel. I can guarantee that many will come from all over the world. They will eat with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and in the Kingdom of Heaven. The citizens of that Kingdom will be thrown outside into the darkness. People will cry and be in extreme pain there. Jesus told the officer go, what you believe will be done for you and at that moment the servant was healed. This scripture comes from The Book of Matthew chapter 8 beginning with verse 5 ending with a verse 13. Never underestimate the power of your prayer or the level of response you will get from the Lord. Never underestimate the power of your faith in Christ. This soldiers powerful belief in the power of God made Jesus change his mind. Jesus waved his trip to see the soldiers sick servant. Hey bypassed his normal protocol. Ain't that great. That because of our fervent prayer and strong faith in Christ he is willing to bypass time itself, the time it takes to work through our issues and possibly travel, to reward our faith immediately. The Lord doesn't always choose to do things this way but he wanted us to know about this Soldier for a reason. Again he cares about what we care about. A prayer:Lord, you do what you promised no matter how wide the distance or overwhelming the problem. You give the word and your will is done. Teach.. Me.. Trust. Amen and thanks for reading.

NEVER EVER FORGET THIS.

Enter through the narrow gate because the gate and road that leads to destruction are wide. Mini enter through the wide gate and the road that leads to life are full of trouble. Only a few people find the narrow gate. Beware of false prophets they come to you disguised as sheep but in their vicious wolves. You will know them by what they produce. These scriptures taken from The Book of Matthew chapter 7 beginning with verse 13, ending with verse 15. Never forget this. And our minds hearts and lives,we often believe we have to capitulate to the majority. This is absolute truth about the most important issues we face concerning eternity and our lives here on Earth. Many times choosing to go the way the masses go, is the wrong way. Don't follow false prophets and stay on the Narrow Path that leads to life.

JUST....WORSHIP.

I saw heaven standing open. There was a white horse and its Rider is named faithful and true. With Integrity he judges and wages War. His eyes are flames of fire. On his head are many crowns. He has a name written on him... But only he knows what it is. He wears clothes dipped in blood and his name is the word of God. The scripture taken from The Book of Revelation, chapter 19 beginning with verse 11 ending with verse 13. A prayer... The word of God wages just War. His eyes blazed and his clothes are bloody. He defeats the nation and Treads the winepress of your Fierce anger. He is king of kings and Lord of lords.Amen. thanks for reading my blogs. FYI: this is just taking a moment to worship the Almighty.

Judging! IT AIN'T PRETTY.

Good morning, I will try to make this as short and sweet as I can. Despite popular opinion in the entire world today judging is a very huge part of walking with the Almighty. Just one example The Book of Revelation chapter 20:verses 1 through 6. Quoting John the Revelator... I saw an angel coming down from heaven holding the key to the bottomless pit and a large chain in his hand. He overpowered the serpent that ancient snake named devil and Satan. The angel chained up the serpent for 1000 years. He threw it into the bottomless pit. The angel shut and sealed the pit over the serpent to keep it from deceiving the nations anymore until the 1000 years were over. It must be set free for a little while. I saw Thrones and those who sat on them were allowed to judge. Then I saw the souls of those whose heads had been cut off because of their testimony about Jesus and because of the word of God. They had not worshipped the Beast or it's statue and we're not branded on their foreheads or hands. They lived and ruled with Christ for 1000 years. The rest of the Dead did not live until the 1000 Years ended. This is the first time that people come back to life. Blessed and holy are those who are included the first time that people come back to life. The second death has no power over them they will continue to be priest of God and Christ. They will rule with him for 1000 years. There is much theology that can be preached from these few verses. The object of me quoting the scripture is not to get into an in-depth study of these verses. It is too raise the eyebrows of those that are following unsound preaching of the Gospel. In my country of the United States for sure there are millions following mushy preaching and teaching. This is not rose petal preaching or teaching yet it is the truth. The kind of preaching you here these days speaks only of the crucifixion of Christ his resurrection and his love. I can tell you men like the Apostle Paul did not sit in prisons and have their heads cut off for a mushy Christianity! They knew about the grace of God the Forgiveness of our sin by the Lord Jesus Christ. The cleansing of our sins by the blood that he shed. But, be not deceived they did not ever teach the theory that a loving God would not judge sin. Most people understand where I'm coming from and they've read a lot of this. But lost people who do not accept Christ are spreading this new narrative around that there should be no judging. This foolishness is deadly. This kind of preaching is foolishness because it implies that there is not and should not be any Judgment of any kind. In other words no accountability for sin. When the Bible speaks of judging it means God is the judge of people and their souls... Not us. Butt what do you call it when the same scripture teaches over and over,that we are to walk away from certain types of people,and situations etc etc.? That is a type of judgement that is permissible. Just because we see people do wrong does not give us the power to condemn their souls that's up to the Lord. I believe sometimes the only scripture people ever read or hear is when they attend a church service. That is sad. God gave us all of brain he breathes life into our bodies and each and every single one of us can read his word study his word and learn. The lost an evil world Translate anything a Christian stands against as judging. I say they're correct. And Christians should judge situations. Homosexuality transgenders pop stars that do drugs and died from drugs. Think about this this Satan in this 20th Chapter of Revelation is The Great Deceiver. When you judge me... Judge what I do not my soul. Yes God loved Hitler Saddam Hussein Mussolini old evil dictators of the world. But yet we will all agree that he uses Mankind and Nations to judge the evil of these people. Do not be Bewitched buy mushy preaching. The almighty God of Abraham, Isaac, King David ,Isaiah, Elijah, on and on and on, is Jesus Christ. Yes the judge came and died even for evil men. But in the end he will judge them. And it looks like in the verses that I quoted that some people will be allowed to judge in the last day. My writing today as I have stated is not to get into a deep theological study of the 20th chapter of Revelation. It's merely a steering wheel to help guide Born Again Christians away from a false narrative. It's an awful horrible thing that's going to happen to people that reject Christ. It ain't pretty! A prayer: your angel Hurls Satan into the bottomless pit you are martyrs all who died for speaking the truth about you rule for a thousand years. Amen and thanks for reading my blog.

NOBODY LIKE HIM..

Who has measured the water of the sea with the palm of his hand or measure the sky with the length of his hand? Who has held the dust of the Earth in a bushel basket or weighed the mountains on a scale and the heels on a balance? Who has directed The Spirit of the Lord or instructed him as his advisor? Whom did he consult? Who gave him understanding? Who taught him the right way? Who taught him knowledge? Who informed him about the way to understanding? The nations are like a drop in a bucket and are considered to be like dust on a scale. The weight of the islands is like fine dust. All the trees in Lebanon are not enough to burn an offering. It's wild animals are not enough for a single burnt offering. All the nations amount to nothing in his presence. He considers them less than nothing and worthless to whom then can you compare God? To what statue can you compare him?( the book of Isaiah chapter 40 beginning with verse 12 ending with Verse 18. A prayer no one can measure the sea or the sky. You need no advisor for you alone have understanding. The weight of the world amounts to dust nothing compares to you. Amen.Thanks for reading my blog.

PUT THEM IN A CORNER?

A word this morning for pastors and teachers and church leaders. I know people are people whether they're in church or not. Pastors and teachers and leaders in our local churches first responsibility is to be spiritually qualified. So much is placed on what a person looks like dresses like which Bible translation he reads. The number one qualification to be a leader preacher, teacher, Deacon, trustee, whatever you are in church or even leading people in music in church... Is are you born again are you sure of it is your faith only in Christ and not in man? Do you obey God and not man whenever there's a conflict between the two. In America more than one out of every two marriages end in divorce. So much debate has been ignored about the meaning of the Apostle Paul's words about marriage and how many times or whatever you can be married. I do not read one single word anywhere in the scripture that says that being divorced makes you unqualified to preach teach sing be a deacon or anything. The custom of the day when the Holy scriptures were being written.... Was that many men had many wives at one time. Yet in our society today which seems to be getting more evil, more disrespectful of God, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God.... I would say thousands upon thousands of divorced people who have realized that sin in their life not just a marriage Sin hinders them from worshipping and serving the lord. So let's just get a corner of our church to take a vote, on how many people been married divorced and then if you want to,even how many times, and let's cordon off a certain section of the church and make him sit there like they had the leprosy. Let's let him listen to the singing, drive Church vans, take out the trash... But by all means never ever let them be a deacon and trustee or anything of any importance in the church. Now I'm being sarcastic, but everyone reading this Blog,that has ever been to church knows exactly what I'm talking about. I have just got the jewels and the nerve to bring the subject up. Of course I'm not advocating divorce because the Bible said God hates it. But the Bible also says that the Lord allows it. It also says he allows it because of the hardness of our hearts. You cannot get any plainer than that. I am totally convinced that if the Apostle Paul... And many of the disciples and followers of Jesus in the New Testament scripture, if they were alive in the local church today in the United States of America they would not be accepted. Are we as guilty as some of those who feared the Apostle Paul? Why he was a murderer. Murderer of who? Christians members of the first church. I can see why people didn't trust him but he kept preaching the gospel and he was hated by many. Run out of town for his own safety and when in the book of 2nd Timothy he was in prison, many of his followers deserted him. You know I'm telling the truth and I'm also probably making you angry. The Bible says a Workman is worthy of his hire.Preachers, you deserve a raise and many of you need to be fired and run out of town. You don't like to think about the scripture that reminds us ,to remember before you point your finger , that you were once people like that. Yes these aren't Kumbaya words, let's all have a group hug words! But if we don't read the scripture and put it in our heart like King David did... You know the guy who lusted after Bathsheba made sure her husband was killed so he could have her yet repented of his sin and made good on his repentance cried out to God for forgiveness and mercy and he received it. I venture to the Say many people today would not listen to David they would not listen to Solomon ,they would not listen to Paul ,and oh my goodness those nasty foul mouth fisherman who repented of their sin felt unworthy, knew that mankind felt that way about them but yet they heard the gospel and they heard the call to preach the gospel to teach the gospel start Church. Why? Because Christ accepted them he did not reject them. He told them that it was them that he had come to save. So what's my point I think I made it pretty clear. Not advocating divorce. I'm not advocating being married to more than one person at a time... But if those of you who are more about control than mercy, you need to search your heart and search your reason for why you do what you do. Stop fighting over who has a key to the back door who's going to put up the sign at the church, who's going to sing What song, who's going to teach what Sunday school class. I've been a Christian for almost 51 years and I have seen these type things for 51 years. In my studies of the church,from the past several hundred years.... fighting and control of the business of the church has been going on since the beginning of the New Testament Church. Most likely it will continue. But like Paul in the book of Galatians when he had already been to galatia started a church and left, came back to find it practicing some real ding-a-ling activities. Read it in the book of Galatians. Paul had to rebuke them and even at one point he starts off by saying who has Bewitched you. "I know you heard our preaching to you when we first started your church, now you have invoked rules that are not scriptural that we did not teach you that we didn't say or practice. So we want to know what in the world happened. So then he embarked on teaching them dicipling them Again! You know Church I think it's high time that we start dicipling ourselves again. And yes it starts with salvation that you must have. You have to offer something totally different than what the world offers. The rock band explosions and drama that you want in your church ,it's not a lasting activity. I visited a church in a Revival this past week ,and I saw a choir full of young people singing... Some of them raising their hands in praise... No rock bands are fancy strobe lights... Just singing a wonderful song about the blood of Jesus Christ. It sent chill bumps all over my body and stirred my heart. I think we need to get back to the basics. Young people need to be discipled on what's appropriate and respectful in God's house. But stubborn old folks need to be re discipled again. I was once Young and now I'm old... And I still have to read the scripture and let it re disciple me. Everything I say ,I say because I love people. The Almighty God has set down in His Holy Bible all the things we need to know. If we needed to know anything else he would have let us know. I'm looking forward to that day when I see him and I don't have to worry or fret over the Sin in my life or anyone else's. I don't think everyone's evil of course, but church goers like me, Need to remember to tell the truth when we're witnessing to lost people who bash the church and refuse to repent and turn to Christ. They will attack us ,it's all our fault they won't no responsibility, for their own soul, but the Bible clearly teaches that they will give an account to God. We cannot lie, water everything down, just stand in our pulpits and ignore the problems we are looking at, being more concerned over whether we are liked or not liked or if someone is getting offended. It's time to let the Lord lead... The local church attendance is dropping and you wonder why? Hey I even know some preachers that are satisfied with their small attendance. They say Many things negative about anyone who wants their Church to actually grow. They're Evangelical churches around them that are growing while they are not. Well let me say this. That's not the number one priority... Or is it? Jesus said go out in the highways and byways and every ways... And compel people to come in. Now either some of these preachers are not studying as much as they say they are, or there's something very spiritually wrong with them. Awh... (judge) come on now use that word again. LOL. You know that famous excuse that lost people give for not repenting of their sins that they love or people that are satisfied with the status quo. Or people who make rules so strict in their Church ,that sinners can have no part because they're not seen as good enough or dressed good enough. Anyway I hope that I have touched a nerve. And don't let me get started on the business of preaching... Because I could tell you a lot that I know and I could even call names but I will not. I have to be real careful, cuz I'm one step away from sounding like John the Baptist... Oh God forbid! You know I'm not worthy to tie the shoelaces on the shoes of Christ. I'm not worthy just spend one second in eternity. But you know Christ in my heart... Sanctifies me justifies me. Let's rethink and get serious in our praying! You don't have to always pray for something for yourself. Pray for your friends pray for your family pray for your pastor your teacher Your music director the young people going to your church. But it may cost you. I think one of the saddest stories but most Glorious stories... is in the book of 1st and 2nd Timothy. Visualizing the Apostle Paul sitting and writing a letter in prison knowing he was about to die but looking forward to being with Christ in glory. Also knowing that most of his friends and comrades had deserted him. But this man had a Damascus Road experience where he actually met Christ, the resurrected Christ. Are you a deacon, preacher, Pastor teacher music director trustee and not actually had a Damascus Road experience? Then you need one. Read 1st and 2nd Timothy and you will see the results of following Jesus. I think many people, leaders in churches, may not have had such an experience. Otherwise they would bring more into God's house then just their business experience or there bad Music Experience or there bad philosophy experience, or their home problem,their physical ailments only. Make it all about Jesus so he can make it all about others. Just placing a cross or some kind of saying about Jesus is not good enough. You cannot wait till church to read the Bible and pray. You need to make time for it every day every night. Open up Bible and let the Lord talk to you. Then go teach your Sunday school class, then go do the music ,then go preach your sermon. Watch the difference... the Holy Spirit makes. Now be instant in season and out of season. It's not all about feelings. More about perseverance. Well I could go on and on and on, but we seriously need to rethink how to involve the people, Christ called into our fellowship and our assembling together. If the righteous scarcely be saved... The Holy Bible says, then where shell the sinner and the ungodly appear. I did not know where these scriptures came from, the Holy Spirit burned them in my heart many years passed and bingo here they are again. A prayer: Lord You Came to the world as an act of pure love offering true life that starts now and lasts forever. You did not come to condemn me but to rescue me from my evil actions. Amen and God bless each one of you for reading my blog.FOOTNOTE: do not confuse the sinner with a sin. It is biblical... That God accepts the sinner but not his sin. Those that reject Christ are the way they are ,because they want God to agree with them not them agree with God. Thanks again for reading my blog.

DO YOU LIVE OR DO YOU DIE?

The Book of John chapter 3 verses 35 and 36. The Fatherloveth the Son, and has given all things into his hand. He that believeth on the Son have everlasting life and he that believeth not the son will not see life but the wrath of God abideth on him. The scripture was from the King James version. Another interpretation from the God's word translation is this, and I quote.. The Father loves his son and has put everything in his power whoever believes in the Son has eternal life but whoever rejects the Son will not see life. Instead he will see God's constant anger. A prayer: You came to speak God's message. You are the Messiah a man who has a limitless Spirit. If I reject you I face constant anger but because I believe you I possess eternal life. Let these words speak for themselves. Amen... Thanks for reading this blog.

WHEN IT STRIKES THEM............TIME

I saw something under the sun. The race isn't won by fast runners,or by fast runners,or the battle by heroes.Wise people do not necessarily have food.intelligent people do not necessarily have riches,and skilled people do not necessarily receive special treatment.But time and unpredictable events overtake all of them.No one knows when his time will come.Like fish that are caught in a cruel net or birds caught in a snare,humans are trapped by a disaster when it suddenly strikes them.(ECCLESIASTES CHAPTER 9:11-12) Yes we are all going to face this some day.Disasters and death.It should keep us all well grounded.This is a book written without the new covenant made with us by the death and risen Lord....JESUS CHRIST.THIS BOOK IS ACTUALLY VERY TRUE.All these issues still plague us,but Christ is our cover.We are not saved from these things,but we have a savior to walk us through it. Trust is imperative! When we are in situations that are seemingly impossible you can believe Christ is not dead. He cares about every single issue in your life.And he knows your end.Do you?No you do not.The race is won by Jesus Christ our Lord. This book in the Bible is the best man can do apart from God,understanding God alone will bring everything into judgement.When i was young i prayed for much wisdom. I got it.Did not use it. The following scripture explains.ECCLESIASTES CHAPTER 1:VERSE 18,For in much wisdom is much grief:and he that increases knowledge increases sorrow. That is just the way life is.BUT.... For God sent not his son into the world to condemn the world;but that the world through him might be saved.(St John chapter 3 verse 17.) God does not condemn us of our sin...we do.We have Christ as the one who has paid the price to redeem us.)Ya see there is hope.My hope under the sun is in the person of Jesus Christ.Whatever my lot.....i must say....it is well with my soul.

WHO TEACHES WHO?

These two have taught me faitfulness,and loyalty.Better than any person could have.God blessed me with them.In other words...they....trained me.

VERY HARD,WE NEED HELP.

Remember this my dear brothers and sisters everyone should be quick to listen slow to speak and should not get angry easily. And angry person doesn't do what God approve of. So get rid of all and moral behavior and all the wicked things you do. Only accept the word that God has placed in you. This word can save you. Do it God's word says do not merely listen to it or you will feel yourself. If someone listens to God's word but doesn't do what it says he is like a person who looks at his face in a mirror studies his features goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like. However the person who continues to study God's perfect laws that make people free and who remains committed to them will be blessed. People like that don't merely listen and forget they actually do a God's laws say. The Book of James chapter 1 vs19 through 25. This of course is something very important for all people. And should be taught in discipleship classes and our local churches. Must be stressed to everyone. Some of the things I've seen and heard by young people in church is deplorable especially the disrespect for God's house. But I have seen Pastor stand right up there in the pulpit and ignore it. I have also seen much older people carrying their Bibles following the scripture the pastor is reading... Yet being very stubborn about things pertaining to the church service rules excetera in the church. I think there needs to be a coming together all round the word of God in some of these churches. Then and only then can the Holy Spirit be free to roam inside the church house. I know it's not popular but some of these things that I'm thinking about are sin. Quenching the holy spirit of God in the church house is sin. It nullifies the entire reason you should be there. When we step into the church house we should feel the presence of the Holy Spirit. I know the Apostle James was pretty tough in his writings... But he just doesn't want us to be worthless. Much more could be said about this but I prefer to keep my message short and simple and let you study these scriptures yourselves. A prayer... Lord make me quick to listen slow to speak even slower to anger, rid me of my Wicked habits. I will do more than listen to your work. I will do whatever your teachings say. Amen and thank you for reading my blogs.

DID HE JUST CALL US FOOLS? ONLY SOME.....

Oh my goodness... Brother James was very upset! In the book of James the second chapter beginning with verse 20 and going through verse 25 let's make that verse 26. Well here we go. You fool! Do you have to be shown that Faith which does nothing is useless? Did your ancestor Abraham receive God's approval as a result of what he did when he offered his son Isaac as a sacrifice on the altar? You see that Abraham's faith and what he did work together. His faith was shown to be geniune by what he did. The scripture passage came true. It says Abraham believed God and that faith was regarded as the basis of Abraham's approval by God. So Abraham was called God's friend. You see that a person receive God's approval because of what he does not only because of what he believes. The same is true of the prostitute Rahab who welcomed the spies and sent them away on another road. She received God's approval because of what she did. A body that doesn't breathe is dead. In the same way Faith that does nothing is dead. Oh my... I guess this just about says it all. These words by the Apostle James we're pretty stout. A true born again Christian lives out his or her faith. I've heard many arguments about this over the years. Some say that the phone the cross didn't have a chance to do this so he could not have been saved. Wrong because he acted on his faith when he spoke to Christ. You cannot just merely sit on your Duff and say nothing do nothing. When the Holy Spirit enters the soul of a man he brings that soul to life. Then the Regeneration of this person begins. A prayer I show my face buy good things I do through faith and actions working together. My good deeds prove my beliefs are genuine. Oh Lord give me a living faith! Amen and I sincerely thank you for reading my blog.

BITS IN THE MOUTH OF HORSES! SAVE ME FROM MYSELF.

Why? Okay some say that's bad We should not control.Listen up You better have Faith in your beliefs before you write or speak. The Book of James chapter 3 verse 1-12. Brothers and sisters not many of you should become teachers. You know that we who teach will be judged more severely. Verse 2 all of us make a lot of mistakes if someone doesn't make any mistakes when he speaks he would be perfect. He would be able to control everything he does. We put bits in the mouths of horses to make them obey us and we have control over everything they do. The same thing is true for ships they're very big and are driven by strong winds. Yet by using small ruters, pilots steer ships wherever they wanted them to go. In the same way the tongue is a small part of the body but it can brag about doing important things. A large Forest can be set on fire buy a little flame. The tongue is that kind of flame it is a world of evil among the parts of our bodies and it completely contaminates our bodies the tongue sets our lives on fire and is itself set on fire from hell. People have tamed all kinds of animals birds reptiles and sea creatures yet no one can tame the tongue it is uncontrollable evil filled with deadly poison. With our tongues we praise our Lord and Father. Yet with the same tongues we curse people who were created in God's likeness. Praise and curses come from the same mouth. My brothers and sisters this should not happen! Do clean and polluted water follow out of the same spring? My brothers and sisters can a fig tree produce olives? Can a grape vine produce figs question mark in the same way a pool of salt water cannot produce fresh water. The message here is clear... Speak wisely! A prayer I've achieve Perfection if I speak without mistakes. But I confess I am far from that. My small tongue sets my life on fire. He gets its fuel from hell. I can't tame my tongue it's uncontrollably evil I use it to curse people and praise you. Oh Lord Save Me From Myself! Amen and thanks for reading.

ARE YOU DEAD? OR ARE YOU GUILTY? OR ARE YOU FREE?

You were once dead because of your failures and your uncircumcised corrupt nature. But God Made You Alive with Christ when he forgave all our failures. He did this by erasing the charges that were brought against us by the written laws God has established. He took the Chargers away by nailing them to the cross. He stripped the rulers and authorities over there power and made a public spectacle of them as he celebrated his victory in Christ. Therefore let no one judge you because of what you eat or drink or about the observance of annual holy days... New Moon festivals or weekly worship days. These are a shadow of the things to come... Butt the body that cast The Shadow belongs to Christ. Let no man who Delights in false humility and the worship of angels tell you that you don't deserve a prize. Such a person whose sinful mind fills him with arrogance gives endless details of the Visions he has seen. He doesn't hold on to Christ the head. Christ makes the whole body grow as God wants it to through support and unity given by the joints and ligaments. If you have died with Christ to the worlds way of doing things... Why do you let others tell you how to live? People will tell you... Don't handle this don't taste or touch that! All of these things deal with the objects that are only used up anyway. These things look like wisdom with their self-imposed worship... False humility... And the harsh treatment of the body. But they have no value for holding back the constant desires of your corrupt nature. The book of Colossians chapter 2 vs 13 through 23. Some points and it scripture to study. #one... You were once dead but God Made You Alive. #2 he Christ erased your son. #3. The method he used was being nailed to the cross. After these points real freedom CAME.#4. Because of this new-found freedom do not let anyone judge you because of your failures or your corrupt nature. #5. Ask yourself if you died with Christ to the world's way of doing things why should or why do you let others tell you how to live? Even in today's world many denominations or many religions believe in the harsh treatment of your body... They call that sacrifice this scripture beginning with verse 20 tells you clearly not to listen to that garbage or follow it. You are free you are free you are free! A prayer once I was dead because of my failures. But you made me alive by nailing the charges against Me to the Cross. You stripped every ruler of any authority over me. I will not be bound buy human rules. I'll hang on to you instead of letting my simple mind make me arrogant. I will not let other people dictate how I live. Their rules can't hold back the constant desires of my corrupt nature. I died with you to the world's way of doing things. Amen... And thanks very very much for reading my blog.

SHOWING YOUR HOSTILE ATTITUDE.

He is the image of the invisible God the firstborn of all creation. He created all things in heaven and on Earth visible and invisible. Whether they are Kings or Lords rulers or powers, everything has been created through him and for him. He existed before everything and holds everything together, he is also the head of the church which is his body. He is the beginning the first to come back to life so that he would have first place in everything. God was pleased to have all of himself live in Christ God was also pleased to bring everything on Earth and in heaven back to himself through Jesus Christ. He did this by making peace through Christ's blood sacrifice on the cross. Once you were separated from God. The evil things you did show your hostile attitude. But now Christ has brought you back to God by dying in his physical body. He did this so that you could come into God's presence without sin fault order blame. This is on the condition that you continue in faith without being moved from the solid foundation all the hope that the good news contains. It has been spread throughout all creation under heaven. The book of Colossians first chapter beginning with verse 15 ending and verse 21! A couple of prayers: you're the image of the god I cannot see you created everything that exists and you always existed. You hold everything together. Amen another prayer you were the first to come back to life and deserve the prime place and everything. All of God Lives in You your sacrificial blood makes peace. Amen one last prayer I wants was cut off from you... Hostel in every action and attitude. But your death brought me back and welcomed f me into your presence without fault. I have faith in this good news. Amen and thank you for reading my blogs. I must say a couple of things about this blog. Once I was separated from God and if I had not receive him into my heart 51 years ago I would still be separated from God. This is a new testament explanation for who exactly Jesus Christ is. I'm blogging about it because Many people distort who Jesus was and who Jesus is. Keywords in the scripture image creator... the heavenly father was pleased to give him everything. If you will read in the Book of Revelation you will see that Christ is coming back as the judge. But he still gives mankind the option to accept or reject. He's not going to make you love him any more than a parent would make their child love them. I have children but I do not want to force them to love me. It's all about choices to reject or accept.

HATE?

Let those love the Lord hate evil. The one who guards the lives of his Godly ones Will rescue them from the power of the wicked people. Light Dawns for righteous people and joy for those whose motives are decent find joy in the Lord the righteous people give thanks to him and you remember how holy he is. Scripture taken from Psalm 97 beginning with verse 10 ending with verse 12. So what does the Bible say about hate? All the way back to the days of King David hate is mentioned in the scripture and the Bible clearly says that it's ok to hate evil. There's not one thing about hating the person committing the evil. But those that commit evil and those that tolerate evil should understand that this will reveal your standing in the eyes of God. If you love evil you hate God and that includes your hate for God's people are people who love God I've seen everything imaginable to man on the internet concerning every subject possible. I've seen websites that say that it's okay to hate people who are evil. No it's not ok I cannot find any Scripture supporting that theory. The only hate that is condoned by God almighty is evil sin. That's why we must.... I say pray without ceasing,God will instruct your heart concerning hate what to the hate what not to hate. A prayer... You will make Dawn break through my darkness. You'll give me joy and you. You're holding it makes my heart well up with thanks. Amen and thank you for reading my blogs

MANY ARE ON TELEVISION!

Many people who deceive others have gone into the world. They refused to declare that Jesus Christ came in flesh and blood. This is the mark of a Deceiver and an antichrist. Be careful that you don't destroy what we've worked for but that you receive your full reward. Everyone who doesn't continue to teach what Christ taught doesn't have God. The person who continues to teach what Christ taught has both the Father and the Son. If anyone comes to you and doesn't bring these teachings... Don't take him into your home or even greet him. Whoever greets him shares the evil things he is doing. A prayer the world is full of deceivers who said you weren't real flesh-and-blood. I won't partner with people who deny reality. Amen and thanks for reading my blogs. Above scripture came from the book of 2nd John chapter one vs7 through 11.

LETTERS....GOOD AND BAD.

2nd Corinthians chapter 7 beginning with verse 8. The Apostle Paul wrote Spoke of two letters. One was good one was bad. If my letter made you uncomfortable I'm not sorry. But since my letter did make you uncomfortable for a while... I was sorry but I'm happy now not because I made you uncomfortable but because the distress I caused you has led you to change the way you think and act. You were distressed in a Godly way so we haven't done you any harm. In fact to be distressed in a Godly way causes people to change the way they think and act and leads them to be saved. No one can regret that. But the distress that the world causes brings only death. That was verses 8 9 and 10. You see,more of a reason not to give up on people.Not to capitulate! In today's world all social media, thousands of people claiming to be atheist, make statements like like Christians should not judge... When they are not judging they are just sharing the gospel sharing the word of God and it makes unbelievers very uncomfortable. Sometimes in the Christian Realm the true gospel makes church-goers uncomfortable. People out of the world who once were believers who have now turned back into the world... it makes them very uncomfortable. The Apostle Paul makes it clear that we should not be sorry if we make them uncomfortable because it may very well lead to their salvation. He also explains the difference in the world and it's distress,which causes death. A prayer... I want to do my brothers and sisters no harm. But I can't stay away from causing them Godly distress. A pain that causes them to change how they think and act. In the end it saves them. Amen and thanks for reading my blogs.

REFUSE TO CAPITULATE.....

A short blog! Respect Human life.(Genesis chapter 9:verses 5-thru 6) Starting with the last part of verse 5..."I will demand the life of any person who kills another person""Whoever sheds human blood,by humans his blood will be shed,because in the image of God,God made humans. Think about the nation of the USA. Where we coddle murderers,we allowed our supreme court to redefine God's law of marriage.To the point that Godly people will be punished if they do not capitulate!America has murdered millions of children,shown more respect for criminals than the unborn.Our government leaders defy Gods wishes.They lie about who he is,and what he tolerates. No, God is not tolerant of sin and he has fixed judgement for those that do sin.He is full of mercy but there are requirements.If someone out there are reading this,and you tamper with Gods law to the extent as to murder or redefine who God is.....please reconsider.America spends billions of dollars because they do not follow Gods rules of engagement.Man without God is dangerous! Man cannot control himself.He has tried since the beginning of time.Cost to incarcerate has reached mammoth highs.Seems America attacks anyone who wishes to jerk this nation back into reality.Do not accept the world of the bias media. Its pure propaganda.Read God's word,repent,trust him and pray without ceasing.Do not under any circumstance CAPITULATE!! A prayer:You blessed Noah and his descendants.You told us to fill the earth and appointed us as masters of our world.Do not let us abuse your trust.You created us in your image and made our lives sacred. No one who sheds human blood will escape your justice.(AMEN) And thanks for reading my blog.

EMBARRASSED .

A sound is heard in Ramah,the sound of crying in bitter grief.Rachael is crying for her children. She refuses to be comforted because they are dead. This is what the Lord says... Stop your crying and wipe away your tears you will be rewarded for your work declares the Lord you will return from the land of the enemy your future is filled with hope declares the Lord your children will return to their own territory. I have certainly heard from Ephraim mourn and say,You disciplined me,and I was disciplined.I was like a young,untrained calf.Turn me and i will be turned,because you are the lord my God. After I was turned around I changed the way I thought and acted. After I was taught a lesson I hung my head in shame I was so ashamed and humiliated. Because of all the stupid things I have done ever since I was young. The book of Jeremiah chapter 31:verses 15 thru 19. A prayer... You quiet me when you hear my crying you see my tears and wiped them away oh Lord my God you turned me around I change the way I thought and acted I'm embarrassed at all the stupid things I've done. Amen And thanks for reading my blogs.

WHAT TO DO WITH THEM?

Book of Romans chapter 3 beginning with the verse 10. As scripture says.. Not one person has God's approval, no one understands no one searches for God, everyone has turned away together they have become rotten to the Core, no one does anything good not even one person their throats are open Graves their tongues practice deception. Their lips hide the Venom of poisonous snakes. Their mouths are full of curses and bitter resentment. They run quickly to murder people. There is ruin and suffering wherever they go. They have not learned to live in peace. They are not terrified of God. Oh my... I believe this covers just about everybody including myself. Sometimes... Okay I'll just admit it all the time it takes staying in prayer and reading of the Holy Scripture to defeat this evil that lies within us all. When being born again and becoming a believer there are many of the things in the scripture that God's holy spirit take care of. Let us learn to live in peace and respect the power of the Almighty. A prayer: everyone is under the power of sin. Not one person has your approval. Not a single one understand you word searches for you. Like everyone else I just do what I want. Amen and again from the bottom of my heart thank you for reading my blogs.ALL SCRIPTURE (ROMANS CHAPTER 3:VERSES 10 THRU 18.)

THEY HAD THEIR CHANCE?

And now a controversial comment. People like Mussolini, Hitler, Stalin, Saddam Hussein, Gaddafi, Castro and his brothers, Osama bin Laden, and the list goes on and on and on and on. Surprise... Romans chapter 3 first 22... everyone who believes has God's approval through faith in Jesus Christ. There's no difference between people. Because all have sinned they have fallen short of God's glory. They receive God's approval freely by an act of his kindness to the price Christ Jesus Paid to set us free from sin. That's scripture starting with verse 22 went through verse 25. What is my point? My point is that we are to love our neighbor as ourselves. I am white many are black many are Asian Arab... And many are decent people and many are evil people. It may shock you to know that Christ loves everybody... He died for everybody. If man chooses to do evil then God Alone will deal with him. The Bible is full of warning after warning to those who choose to be evil. As history has shown and the Bible has solidified, God will use entire nations of men to punish the Deeds of evil people. But never question the fact that Christ died for the sins of all people including evil people. They had their chance. A prayer.. There's no doubt I have sinned and fallen short of your perfection. But you approve me as an act of pure kindness. You paid the price to set me free from sin, and I gain your approval through faith in your blood. You make a friend of everyone who believes. Amen and thanks for reading my blog.

COUNT YOUR SELF LUCKY?

ENTER THROUGH THE NARROW GATE BECAUSE THE GATE AND ROAD THAT LEAD TO DESTRUCTION ARE WIDE. MANY ENTER THROUGH THE WIDE GATE.BUT THE NARROW GATE AND ROAD THAT LEAD TO LIFE ARE FULL OF TROUBLE. ONLY A FEW FIND THE NARROW GATE. Another translation,vs 14......Because straight is the gate,and narrow is the way.Which leads unto life,and few there be that find it.(KJV) Regardless of which translation you read.........READ it! The meaning is clear.Those of you that walk through life and see nothing but the world around your job,your family and fun....please understand the risk you are taking. Is the life you live worth dieing for? Do you wish to stand before an Almighty God in the condition your life and soul is in? Here these words.(MATTHEW CHAPTER 7:13&14) And Matt. CHAPTER 7:24) What Christ says about it all.....is in the 24th verse.Count your self lucky or having Christ show you mercy and grace long enough for you to realize the real prize of life.Every man or women has an existence that is measured by the Lord.He alone knows our end.Better be on his side every second of every day.God does not accept sin.He does not support it.Scripture clearly states he demands repentance.The world has gone crazy trying to convince itself that Jesus supports sin,but folks that just is not correct.A prayer:Lord show me the narrow gate that leads to life.I do not want to get caught up in the masses choosing the easy way.(AMEN)Thanks for reading my blog.

WHAT RULES YOUR HEART ???

Two things. Number 1......When you pray ,don't ramble like heathens who think they will be heard if they talk a lot. Do not be like them. Your Father knows what you need before you ask him.This is how you should pray........(MATTHEW CHAPTER 6:7-9) Number 2....Stop storing up treasures for yourselves on earth,where moths and rust destroy and thieves break in and steal. Instead,store up treasures for yourselves in heaven,where moths and rust don't destroy and thieves don't destroy and thieves don't break in and steal. Your heart will be where your treasure is.(Matthew chapter 6:19-24) Keep the latter in mind,then watch how you pray. A prayer:Nothing i own will outlast moths,rust,and thieves.I set my heart on things in heaven,and things on earth no longer rule my heart.Your my one-and -only master.AMEN. In the end of your life,this is all that matters.The only catch is...if you reject Christ,then the rust and moth eaten things are all you will have in exchange for your soul.

DO NOT FORGIVE THEM?

Isaiah chapter 2 starting with verse 6 Lord you have abandoned your people the descendants of Jacob because they are filled with Eastern influences they are fortune tellers like the Philistines and they make deals with foreigners their land is filled with silver and gold and there is no end to their treasure. Their land is filled with the horses and there is no end to their chariots their land is filled with idols and they worship what their hands have shaped and what their fingers have molded. People will be brought down everyone will be humbled do not forgive them go in among the rocks and hide underground because of the Lord's terrifying presence and the honor of his majesty. The eyes of the arrogant people will be humbled high and mighty people will be brought down on that day the Lord alone will be honored. A prayer I consider myself wise and well-connected. I feel powerful and Rich. But you will bring me down because you alone deserve honor. Amen thanks for reading my blog.

BRAG ABOUT EVIL AND DEFIANCE?

Isaiah chapter 3 starting with verse 1... See now the Lord the Lord of armies is going to take from Jerusalem and Judah every kind of support. Their entire supply of food and water he will take their Heroes and soldiers judges and Prophets fortune tellers and Statesman... military leaders and civilian leaders counselors skilled workers and experts in magic I will make boys their leaders children will govern them. People will oppress each other and everyone will oppress his neighbor. The young will make fun of the old and common people will make fun of their superiors. A prayer: you bring chaos on people who claim to evil. You bring down leaders and let children rule in their place. Everyone lacks courage. Amen and thank you for reading my blog.

YOU WILL SEE NO CHANGE !!!!

DO NOT LET MERCY AND TRUST LEAVE YOU.FASTEN THEM AROUND THY NECK.WRITE THEM ON THE TABLET OF YOUR HEART.THEN YOU WILL FIND FAVOR AND MUCH SUCCESS IN THE SIGHT OF GOD AND HUMANITY.TRUST THE LORD WITH ALL YOUR HEART,AND DO NOT RELY ON YOUR OWN UNDERSTANDING.IN ALL YOUR WAYS ACKNOWLEDGE HIM,AND HE WILL MAKE YOUR PATHS SMOOTH.DO NOT CONSIDER YOURSELF WISE.FEAR THE LORD AND TURN AWAY FROM EVIL,THEN YOUR BODY WILL BE HEALED,AND YOUR BONES WILL HAVE NOURISHMENT.(PROVERBS CHAPTER 3:VERSES 3:8)Amen to these words....fasten around your neck,write them in stone in your heart,success and and favor will come from God and humanity.The words that follow thru this passage are awesome.If you do as this scriptures says....and things seem to not happen the way they should.....then reexamine your actions because most likely there is some dishonesty going on here!You have to be honest completely with the Lord,and hold nothing back from him. You may fool men but never GOD.If you are not turning away from evil,continue to lean on your own understanding,and your not acknowledging him in ALL your ways....then you will see no change. A prayer: I trust you with all my heart.Your wisdom is so much bigger than mine.I count on you to lead my every step.Smooth my path.(AMEN)Thanks for reading my blogs.

AMEN......

A prayer for wisdom. Your wisdom pleases me .It guards me and saves me from evil. It guards me and saves me from evil.It protects me from people who want to pull me down dark crooked paths.

WISDOM

The lord gives wisdom,From his mouth come knowledge and understanding.He has reserved priceless wisdom for decent people.He is a shield for those who walk in integrity in order to guard those on paths of justice and to watch over the way of his godly ones. Then you will understand what is right and just and fair--every good course in life.Wisdom will come into your heart. Knowledge will be pleasant to your soul.Foresight will protect you.Understanding will guard you.(Proverbs chapter 2:verses 6 thru 11) Lots of people need this tonight. Millions have been blinded by Satan because they refuse to agree with God. They think with their own wisdom,make decisions based on that.Gods spirit troubles my heart in this time.Way to many people live an entire life regarding nothing God thinks about them.I am beginning to be troubled by people who have not turned their souls over to Jesus.Godly wisdom will save you from lots of things.Do you know someone or many that have abandoned paths of righteousness to walk in ways of darkness? Read verses 12,13,14,15! So great advice is in verses 20,21. Walk in the way of good people and stay on the paths of righteous people.Decent people will live in the land.Repent of your sins,Read the BIBLE....trust God.It will change your life.. but you have to want it.
