COME HOME...YOU CAN BE ALSO...I FEEL IT.

Lord,how are they increased that trouble me! many are they that rise up against me.Many there be which say of my soul,there is no help for him in God.Se-lah.A psalm of David psalm 3 vss 1-2.
Is there some one out there lost,or backslidden away fro the lord this early morning. Has your life slipped away from you? Are you feeling like no one cares. Are you possibly thinking of ending your life. Saying what is it worth? Let me tell ya.......Almighty God made himself man,and paid the supreme price for your soul,and He cares what happens to you.Get on your face,knees,or however you have to so you can say these words from the 3rd verse of psalm  3. But thou oh Lord are a shield for me,my glory,and the lifter up of my head.Praise God today,that he spared my soul from a devils hell,and regardless of what man may say,i am washed in the blood,saved by the grace of God forever.You can be also,and if you are,and living like the devil,come home......come home where you belong.God loves you,and so do i. MY PRAYER: DEAR HEAVENLY FATHER,AS I WRITE,SOMEWHERE OUT THERE IN THIS WORLD,THERE ARE MANY MILLIONS OF SOULS IN TROUBLE.NO PEACE IN THERE HEARTS. CONVICT THEM,AND DRAW THEM TO YOU.SPEAK TO THEM...THEY NEED YOUR HELP NOW. I FEEL IT.AMEN. I love you all ,goodnight.

TURN.... THE EVIL HE THOUGHT.

ISN'T IT A SHAME,THAT BACKSLIDING IS SO EVIDENT IN OUR LIVES. ISN'T IT SAD THAT UNBELIEVERS REGARD NOT, GOD JEHOVAH? LOST OR A BACKSLIDER,THE REQUIREMENT TO RECEIVE GODS MERCY IS PURE SINCERE REMORSE AND REPENTANCE.IF WE TRY TO FOOL THE LORD WE ARE THE FOOLISH. VERSE 12 OF THE BOOK OF JOEL,CHAPTER 2. WE MUST TURN WITH ALL OUR HEARTS,WITH FASTING AND WEEPING,AND WITH MOURNING!!! WHO KNOWS..VS 13,HE MAY REPENT OF THE EVIL HE HAS PLANNED FOR US.REMEMBER,AFTER JONAH PREACHED TO NINEVEH,NINEVEH REPENTED AND GOD SPARED THEM,YET ROUGHLY A CENTURY LATER GOD DESTROYED THEM. THEY BACKSLID.IN THE 1ST AND 2ND CHAPTER OF JOEL,THE LORD FIRST SENT HIS ARMY OF LOCUST TO DESTROY THE ECONOMY OF JUDAH. THEN HE TOLD THEM TO REPENT AND HOW TO REPENT,AND THEN HE WOULD SHOW THEM MERCY.
BY THE WAY,THE SUBJECT OF THE STORY IN THE BOOK OF NAHUM,WAS STRICTLY FOCUSED  ON THE DESTRUCTION OF NINEVEH.MY POINT IS,WE MUST REGARD GOD. WE MUST UNDERSTAND THAT ALONG WITH THE ABSOLUTE FACT THAT GOD BEING HOLY,HE MUST JUDGE AND PUNISH SIN.YET HE ALWAYS SHOWS US HOW WE CAN RECEIVE HIS MERCY.NINEVEH AND JUDAH.ANY NATION,THAT REGARDS NOT THE GOD OF THE HOLY BIBLE,CAN TURN AND RECEIVE HEALING AND FORGIVENESS.READ JEREMIAH CHAPTER 18:VS 8.GOD WILL REPENT OF THE EVIL HE THOUGHT TO DO UNTO THEM. MY PRAYER: DEAR HEAVENLY HOLY FATHER,FORGIVE ME MY SIN. DRAW ALL MANKIND TO YOU.IN THESE PERILOUS TIMES. AMEN.

SPLIT.

HMM....split? Where on earth is this going?Israel was definately split after King Solomon's death. Split into.The northern Kingdom,and the southern kingdom.The southern Kingdom was called Judah. Now in this short lesson we can go many places with it,but,what is in this History of Israel that is so interesting to us? Two things for sure. God's judgement and then his merciful Love.
My Sunday School lesson this week at church is on a portion of the book of Joel,9 vss to be exact. But first the Lord leads me to research who in the world is Joel? Turns out He was one of the 12.
Another question.12 what? According to most Bible experts there were twelve minor prophets,and five major prophets.Joel was one of the 12 minor prophets....called that because their books were shorter and more focused.In this book of Joel,we see God dealing with a nation that was split. in chapter one we see how God can intervene in the economy of a nation. In chapter two we see a huge warning about what else is about to come upon this little split nation.Then the Lord tells them exactly what they must do. Then The Lord repents. WOW! We do not here of much of that in our pulpits. I started to write something else,but seems people repenting these days is not a popular message in churches anymore.Seems feel good,pat on the back services is what people want.My thoughts are going to the part where God repents.My research of scripture shows me the Lord does do that. If we repent!!!!! My thoughts go now to my country. America. A nation,the one true God has blessed ,because we regarded him in all our doings. What on earth has happened? We left our first love{REV.2:1-7} The one that first loved us 1ST JOHN CHAPTER 4:VSS 19-21}As you watch American news,all you here is how America is split.This appears to be true...3 ways. One part friends to ISLAM,another part the left over of our Christian founders,the other part Carnal secular people. If America is to suvive....vss 17 and 18 of the second chapter of Joel must happening NOW! I pray you will read the 1st and 2nd chapters of Joel,study it,let the Holy Spirit teach you.God is a Holy God,a just God,and will not allow sin to reign. Yet He always has ,and always will provide mercy. We must pray.
MY PRAYER:Heavenly Father,my nation,and me,have gone our own way. Today i fall down between this podium,(the porch) and the alter.Spare me,and my people(my country)Be jealous for our land,and pity us...your people.Amen.

HOPE INTENSIFIED.

Our sense of the future .....can become intensified as we grow in our hope of living with God forever..{quote from Wayne Grudem,systematic doctrine(the book)in reading) of Scripture and Prayer,our moral sense can become greater.Study the references such as 2nd Corinthians chapter 7:vs 1,1st Peter 1:16. We are to perfect our holiness,in the fear of God.Paul was showing through his preaching the source of his comfort in his afflictions.Are we doing that,or have become weak,and non interested? I say the latter. All my Christian brothers and sisters need reminding on a daily,weekly basis. I need reminding as well. The more i study,the more i feel the need to pray,and praise God.
The more i do this the more my hope is intensified.How can we raise children,feel the pain of our fellow brethren and sisters in the Lord,and function daily in our lives,without regarding God? There are so many to pray for,so many to help.You can research the book of Joel,one of the minor prophets,in the first 2 chapters.Its a story of sin and disobedience,and the need for men to repent.It also speaks of God himself repenting of evil He allowed to befall the nation of Israel.This is just one story out of many in the Bible that shows Gods judgement and then His mercy.Wow i could talk,write,pray and praise and never stop.Much to do in service for the Lord and His Kingdom before i die.Or before He raptures me.
My Prayer. I will fast and mourn,i will tear my heart and return to you.I know you are merciful,and forgiving,i pray you will forgive me and change your mind and not destroy me.Maybe i will see your blessings again.(A prayer from the Pray the scripture bible) AMEN.

ABIDE.

IN THE BOOK OF JOHNS GOSPEL,CHAPTER 15,THE WORD ABIDE WAS USED BY OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST AT LEAST 6 TIMES AND THE WORD ABIDETH ONE TIME.
THIS WAS ALL SPOKEN BY CHRIST AS HE WAS PREPARING TO BE LED AWAY TO BE BEATEN,CURSED,SPAT ON,HIS FLESH RIPPED TO SHREADS,THEN CRUCIFIED FOR MY SIN,AND TRESPASSES! HE WANTED TO GIVE THE DISCIPLES A LAST MINUTE PLEA FOR HOW HE WANTED THEM TO CONDUCT THEMSELVES.JUST A NOTE:THE WORD ABIDE APPEARS 82 TIMES IN 77 VERSES IN THE ENTIRE BIBLE.
IT SIMPLY MEANS TO REMAIN IN THE RELATIONAL (PERSONAL) STANDING YOU ARE IN WITH JESUS.MANY BIBLE EXPERTS WILL TELL YOU THAT THE ONLY WAY TO ACTUALLY GROW AND BARE FRUIT AS A CHRISTIAN IS TO ABIDE IN CHRIST. AND HE WITH YOU. THIS INVOLVES PRAYING,AND STUDYING THE WORD OF GOD DAILY.ALSO READ THE 1ST FEW VERSES OF THE GOSPEL OF JOHN,AND YOU WILL SEE WHO EXACTLY THE WORD IS.WHEN WE ABIDE IN HIM,THE WORD SAYS WE WILL ASK WHAT WE WILL AND IT WILL BE GIVEN TO US. DO NOT ASK AMISS,JUST TO HEAP ON YOURSELVES YOUR LUST. ITS ALL ABOUT JESUS,AND HIM REDEEMING US BACK TO HIM,FOR THE PROPER FELLOWSHIP,JUST LIKE IN THE BEGINNING.BEFORE ADAM FELL.THIS IS A SHORT BLOG,BUT A PLEA FOR THOSE LOST TO COME TO CHRIST BEFORE ITS TO LATE. AND FOR THOSE BACKSLIDEN TO RETURN TO FELLOWSHIP WITH JESUS.MY PRAYER:HEAVENLY FATHER,I LOVE YOU AND WANT TO OBEY YOUR COMMANDMENTS.STARTING WITH LOVING YOU WITH ALL MY HEART.AND LOVE MY NEIGHBOR AS MYSELF.BLESS THE SONG AND PREACHING AND TEACHING SERVICES AT MY CHURCH TOMORROW(ALL DAY).HELP ME AS I ABIDE IN YOU.....AMEN.

BEFORE THE WORLD WAS.

EARLY THIS MORNING I WISH TO GIVE GLORY AND PRAISE TO MY LORD JESUS FOR HIS NEVER ENDING LOVE FOR ME. FOR HIS MERCY AND GRACE TO ME FOR MY ENTIRE LIFE. TO TELL HIM I FORGIVE ALL THOSE THAT HAVE TRESPASSED AGAINST ME IN MY LIFE.I PRAY THAT HE DRAW ALL MEN TO HIMSELF THROUGH HIS HOLY SPIRIT.CHRIST IS IN HEAVEN COVERED IN THE GLORY HE HAD BEFORE THE WORLD WAS.{JOHN CHAPTER 17:VS 5.}
HIS PRAYER OF INTERCESSION FOR ME HUMBLES MY HEART,AND CONVICTS MY SOUL.JESUS SAID I AM NOT OF THIS WORLD ANYMORE THAN HE WAS.READ THE 17TH CHAPTER ALL THE WY THROUGH.A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO I HAD OPEN HEART SURGERY.....I STILL AM IN RECOVERY,WITH MONTHS LEFT TO GO. YET THE THING I HAVE THE MOST PASSION FOR,IS TO LEARN MORE OF HIM. I DO NOT FEAR DEATH,BUT I PRAY THE FATHER,THAT HE WILL USE ME IN A MIGHTY WAY AS I FINISH MY COURSE HERE ON THIS EARTH.I OWE HIM A DEBT OF GRATITUDE I CANNOT REPAY...BUT WITH HIS STRENGTH I CERTAINLY WILL TRY.ANYONE AT THE OTHER END OF MY WRITING,IF YOU ARE NOT ABIDING IN CHRIST,LET ME INVITE YOU NOW.YOU WILL NOT REGRET THE RELATIONSHIP YOU WILL HAVE.I AM ONE OF THOSE MENTIONED BY CHRIST IN THE 20TH VS OF CHAPTER 17. I HAVE READ THE GOSPEL,AND I DO BELIEVE ON CHRIST THROUGH THE APOSTLES WORDS.
PRAISE YOU FATHER FOR KNOWING ME BEFORE THE WORLD WAS.BEFORE I WAS IN MY MOTHERS WOMB.I LOVE YOU JESUS.MY PRAYER: FATHER FORGIVE ME MY SINS AND TRESPASSES,AS I FORGIVE THOSE THAT TRESPASSED AGAINST ME. AMEN.

DO NOT MISS VSS 51,52,53. YOUR ETERNITY DEPENDS ON IT.

No matter our end,if we have been saved,there is a glory we can rely on.1st corinthians chapter16:vs 43......actually beginning with verse 42.Concerning the
Resurrection of the dead.We are sown in corruption,raised in incorruption.We are sown in dishonour,raised in glory,sown in weakness,raised in power.All this...remember,especially,when ur Christian heart,condemns you.You will rise again,to live with Christ.This is an awesome promise.Read the entire 15th chapter of 1st corinthians.You will be blessed.Do not miss out on verses 51,52,and 53.My prayer: Father,draw all lost to you,and all backsliders back home.Amen.

WINKING AT IGNORANCE.REPENT!!!

Then Paul stood in the midst of Mars hill and said,ye men of Athens ,I perceive that in all things ye are too superstitious.For as i passed by,and beheld your devotions,i found an alter with this inscription,TO THE UNKNOWN GOD.Whom you ignorantly worship,him declare i unto you.{the book of Acts chapter 17 vss 22 and 23.}The the following vss of this chapter,we see that our God made the world and all things in it. They were not made with mens hands and Our God does not dwell in temples made of men's hands.
Since God gives all life,breath,and all things.
I know that in our times in this world ,Pagan gods still exist. Men worship them and they profit them nothing.I also noticed in this chapter,Paul rebuked these people very sternly.Yet he also told them of how the Lord is not very far from any,(vs.27).
And we are His off Spring,and because of that we should know that God is not gold or silver ,or stone or graven by men.In verse 30,it says that God had winked at this ignorance,but not any more. Now He commands us to repent. MY PRAYER:Heavenly Father,i repent of my old life.I repent of my backsliding,i repent of my old desires,and ask that you forgive me.Draw all men to you. AMEN.

LEARNING TO LEAN....

Understanding,the Lord and his purpose for us,is given by the Holy Spirit,more and more as we dig into his Word.The Carnal side of a man,does not know this.Trust is something we battle with. As we realize how much man cannot be trusted,we must learn to Ttust Jesus.This is not a natural thing to do.Often i have in the course of my life,felt the need to believe the old saying"The Lord helps those that help themselves" Well...what about when we cannot help outselves? When we find ourselves in situations we had no power over,or did not bring  on ourselves?I promise you,He said ,He (Christ)would never forsake us.I truthfully can say,despite
Myself,He never has.Even when was taking
Care of myself.Yet i am still learning to lean.
As the song says,Learning to lean on Jesus.My prayer:Heavenly Father,give me much grace,as i learn to Trust you more.Amen.

Open my eyes.

Tonight after much studying of Gods word,this week,i realize that i need prayer.
Psalm 119:18....Tells me "Open my eyes,that i may behold wonderous things out  of your law." The book of James chapter 1vss 19 thru 20....and 3rd chapter vss 13, 17 -18. Tells me to not be puffed up or arrogant.The Holy Spitit gives me my understanding.(1st corinthians 2:14; Ephesians chapter 1:vss 17-19.
My prayer.Father draw all mankind to you.
Those lost,and all backsliders.I pray when they come to you,you will give them a strong passion to worship you,and serve.Amen.

I AM A WORK.

A i speak constantly of the Lord re-teaching me,i am also reminded by Him,that i am called a son of God.Wow! As unworthy i know i am,He(the Father)bestows upon me that honor. He is making me a work of His hands.Does this mean that i am super spiritual? Absolutely not.Two things that i see in my life,#1...i once thought i sought Him,but know He loved me first. He knew me before i was in my mothers womb.(JEREMIAH CHAPTER 1:VERSE 5.)and Jeremiah 29:13.
1st John chapter 3:verse 1-3.....Behold what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us,that we should be called sons of God:therefore the world knoweth us not,because it knew him not. Beloved ,now are we the sons of God,and it doth not yet appear what we shall be:but we know that,when he shall yet appear,we shall be like him:for we shall see Him as He is. And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself,even as he is pure.In verse 25 of the 2nd chapter of 1st john...it is told to us as a promise we have ,is that we have eternal life.This is a short message,but powerful ,in that (HE) CHRIST IS ASSURING me that i have eternal life and i am a son of God.As He is teaching me about my conduct in my Christian walk.MY PRAYER: HEAVENLY FATHER,draw all men to you.Show them how great it will be to be welcomed into the kingdom of God.Amen.

THAT THING WE CALL LOVE.

The Lord is
 teaching me real love. Well it goes against the flesh.
This is not love as the carnal mind knows it to be.It is the love that is inherent with the Lord himself.It is who he is,not just something he exhibits now and then.We ,when walking in the Spirit can exhibit love as well. But when in the flesh,that thing we call love,is not really love at all.(In this blog i am referring to the 4th chapter of the book of 1st John.)Many good things in this chapter. One big lessons it teaches us is,that Love is not just something God exhibits every now and then ,but it is who He is. It is inherent in Him.I have realized lately,that being Christ like is inherent in me.It is who i truly am. Yet i am also of the flesh.God is struggling with me to keep me walking in the Spirit.I love Him for doing this.Vs 8 of the 5th chapter(1st JN) says He that loveth not,knoweth not God.vs.10,Herein is love,not that we loved God,but that he loved us,and sent His son to be the propitiation for our sins.Propitiation?
What is that?....well....it is also called expiation,the act of appeasing a diety,thus incurring devine favor,or avoiding devine retribution.In verse 11 it says "beloved if God so loved us,we ought also to love one another.This lesson from the Lord is evident in the book of 1st John,chapter 4:verses 7 through 21. Much more can be said of this,but....i will Pray at this point.{MY PRAYER}HEAVENLY FATHER,DRAW ALL MEN TO YOU. Then place within their hearts the passion and desire to study your Word.Then to pray for one another.In Jesus name i ask these things,AMEN.
