I'm praying to a powerful God.

Good early morning again. Philippians chapter 4 verse 13. I can do all things through Christ who strengtheneth me. A very short verse indeed. So this being true, let's look at Christ's power. We see there are about seven scriptures that can be used to show the power of Christ. Number one he has saving power Isaiah 63:1 who is this that Cometh From Edom, with dyed garments from Bozrah? This that is glorious in his apparel, traveling in the greatness of his strength? I that speak in righteousness, mighty to save. He has pardoning power Matthew 9 verse 6. But that ye may know that the Son of man has power on Earth to forgive sins, then said he to the sick of palsy, arise take up thy bed and go unto thine house. He has infinite power Matthew 28:18 and Jesus came and speaking to them saying all power is given unto me in heaven and in Earth. He has the power over nature Luke 8:25 and he said unto them where is your faith? And they being afraid wondered, saying one to another, what manner of man is this! For he commanded even the wind's and water, and they obey him. He has the power over his own life, look at John chapter 10 verse 18. No man taketh it from me but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment have I received of my Father. He has life-giving power John 17:2. As thou Hast given him Power Over All Flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou has given him. He has a wonder-working power acts 10:38. How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power, who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed all the devil; for God was with him. He also has demonstrated his power by his resurrection. Romans 1:4 and declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead. You can reference that with Hebrews 1:3. Those we're all good reasons we need to remember what powerful a God we serve. You see we can do all things through Christ who strengthens us. And you can't be living in sin practicing it as a habit. And you also cannot be living in sin and refusing to repent. God will hesitate to help us and he could bring us down. Later this morning is church service. When you go don't put your eyes on people any more than you have to. Go remembering what kind of powerful Lord we have and that he can take our issues as long as we're not praying amiss, he can fix them. This is the same Lord that has the power to save the power to pardon the infinite power and the power over nature and the power over his own life the power to give life a Wonder working power demonstrated by his resurrection. So when you pray remember this. Claim the Lord, his Mercy and this power in your life. When you're praying for people you know that are not believers, people who are running from the obedience that Christ requires, people with financial issues and health issues. Pray to this powerful Lord named Jesus Christ. If you feel your prayers are bouncing off the ceiling, either you need to repent of something, or just don't give up till he gives you a blessing. God bless get up and go to Sunday school and then church. And then go back again tomorrow night.
Amen.

Stop...go no farther!

Hello.Good evening. A subject many have dealt with and many more will. Ever been in a relationship that was contentious? It's not always the way you think. Lets look at what the word of God says about this. Romans chapter 2:verse 8. " But unto those that are contentious, and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, indignation and wrath, vs 9 Tribulation and anquish, upon every soul of man that doeth evil, of the Jew first, also of the Gentile. The above is what the consequences of sin are. Contention  means likely to cause disagreement or argument. No one should like that. Yet we see that even on the subject of what is unrighteous, many people will contend. Look at Titus 2:12...Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and wordly lust, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world. The previous verse, 11 says its the grace of God that bringeth salvation, that hath appeared to all men...is what teaches us to live this way. This is not an option on how to live. If your saved, u should be living this way. Now look at Romans chapter 1: verse 18. Here is an example of what many do. And the results. Don't fall into this category. " The wrath of God revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men,who hold the truth in unrighteousness.
God's wrath is upon you, because you sin and do not change. Let's look farther into Roman's 6:13. It says" Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God. In other words the Apostle Paul here in the Book of Romans is trying to tell us that we are to yield ourselves to God because we are alive from the dead and our bodily instruments are to be yielded [ faculties] to God. In other words, before sin has power over us, it  must pass through our will. This of course is concerning the believer. We can have control.Romans 1:18 shows us clearly that many know exactly what they are doing when they sin in Gods face. THE WRATH OF GOD WILL BE UPON YOU. In verse 19 of chapter 1( Romans) The Bible says GOD has shown it to the people that know better but sin anyway. Wow. Someone reading this may be guilty of this behavior. Your involved in living an unrighteous life and yet you know better. Please repent. Go no farther into your sin. Let the Holy Spirit change your heart. Amen.

IT'S IN A SONG.

Holy, Holy, Holy.
Two seraphim,in the book of Isaiah chapter 6 verse 3. Oh my, they covered their faces because they could not look on God. He is so Holy. Yet they sang His praises Holy holy holy. God is sinless, God is to be praised. In Romans chapter 1 verse 23 we see that fallen man has refused to glorify God. So you see...when we approach His throne boldly with our petitions first acknowledge Him with praise. He is faithful to us, be faithful to Him. Focus on the Lord first, trust Him with the rest of your life. Do not love the gift of life, better than the giver of life. So let me cheerlead for a second.....Holy holy holy, Lord God Almighty, God in three persons Blessed Trinity. I believe that's a song. So sing it loud He loves us to worship  God just Him, more than anything we may do. I'm going home to see Him soon,and i will bow down and sing Holy holy holy. He has forgiven me my transgressions. His mercy endures forever. God just laid it on my heart, that He is love, and when we focus on him first we realize what he is. Then we realize our Lack of showing proper love to each other. I love you because your you. A prayer... dear Heavenly Father, please help me keep my eyes and thoughts on you first. Then you will supply all my needs according to your riches in glory. HOLY, Holy ,Holy !

Do not waste TIME.

Good morning.
We have two things here i wish to cover. Insensibility and Impenitence. While taking the good news of Christ to some people, there are obvious things i notice. I find their hearts are hard. For example, Acts chapter 28:verse 27. For the heart of this people is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes have they closed; lest they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them. A thought that comes to my mind, while reading this, is how insensitive so many people have become. Their hearts have become hardened towards the things of God. So they will not see nor hear nor understand with their hearts. So the Lord will not always strive with man. He will run out of patience. Look at Ezekiel 33:9. Nevertheless, if thou warn the wicked of his way to turn from it; if he does not turn from his way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou has delivered thy soul. So here are two things we should warn about. Do not play games with eternity. Repent and be saved. Once we share and try to point out the importance of salvation, and the person or people we are speaking to rejects repentance,the Bible says in Ezekiel that this man or woman will die in their sin, but we have delivered our souls. So here we have the fact that the Lord was speaking about a prophet who warns about repenting of sin. He says if he warns, he is not to be judged.But the one who fails to warn would be held accountable. By the way this would be counted as unfaithfulness to God and God will Chasten. So stop already with this garbage about "don't judge me"
Get over that. The people use the don't judge me phrase, are being insensitive because their hearts have waxed gross.I understand it is the Holy Spirit that must point the way ro Christ. Which will require you to repent.Turn from excuses,change your mind about sin in your life. Start living differently and thinking differently. Caring what Gods word says. Being obedient to Christ. Or else die in your sins.Wow. As Isaiah the prophet did, he humbled himself towards God, and by being profoundly aware of His sin made himself available for service to the Lord. Reference Isaiah chapter 6: verse 8.

Stop the bleeding.

Oh my gosh. As i was studying i ran across something important. Malachi chapter 2: verses 13-16. Seems the people in this chapter were weeping at the alter because the Lord no longer accepted their offerings with favor. Why? Apparently the Lord had been a witness to marriages which they were now breaking so readily. He had intended them to be one pure people, producing godly offspring and separated from the corruption of the heathen. God hates unscriptural divorce and its resulting violence. Here is the link between Divorce and violence. Its not what you think. He sees divorce to be like covering one's garment with violence, a figurative expression for all kinds of gross Injustice which, like the blood of a murdered victim, leave their Mark for all to see. Now people, if you have ever been divorced, or know people that have, then think about it. The effects last a life time. I know God hates divorce, and so do i. It makes you feel like a murder victim.  1 in every 2 marriages in America end in divorce. Thats horrible. Our Society sees it so much, we now hear people say if you are not happy, get divorced and try again.  If your thinking about it, don't do it. Generations of your children and their children will live with the effects of it. I'm not saying dump your mate,  and go back to your kids dad or mom, you made a new vow, someone commited adultery thats true, but don't muddy the water up by divorcing again. Wow....What a tangled up mess that would be. Hold the line, seek God's help. That my friend is His will. Nothing like being on God's side and Him on yours. Notice God was extremely unhappy with these people and He withheld His blessings. It is terrible to walk around without God's favor on your life.If your separated, straighten up, and reconcile with your mate. Husbands, love your wives like Christ loves the church and gave his life for it. Wives respect your husbands, be a good help mate. Okay....i needed that. More than you know. Marriage is sacred, let No one tell you different. If there is a slight chance, save your marriage. God bless.

Previous post CORRECTION scripture lesson is from The gospel of John. Not 1st John. Sorry.

NOT EVEN.

ST John chapter 1:vs 3.
Continuing on in ST John.
Look at all the beautiful heavens, water, forest, land...etc everything in existence through Him it was made. The Bible right here declares, makes clear,that not ONE thing without Him....came into being. Now this is the Christ i worship, i serve, i place all my trust and existence in. You must know Christ is the only begotten Son of God. God has fully expressed himself in the person of the Lord Jesus Christ. By coming into the world Christ has perfectly revealed to us, what God is like. The Bible declares that Christ is the Express image of God Himself. So as you struggle and look for answers, for peace in you souls, look to Jesus. If your not sure of your Salvation, you can be. 
Surely you must know that this awesome God can save you, and he will if you repent. Change..you must change, that's what repentance means. To turn from your sin, and choose a life of faith in Christ. AMEN.

POWERFUL...FULL OF MERCY.

The trying of my faith? You betcha. The following scripture is what Satan and the world want to separate me from.Look at 1st John chapter 1 verse 1. In the beginning  [before all time] was the Word(Christ),and the Word was with God Himself. [Isaiah 9:6] if you wish to reference.
Just think on that.Christ did not have a beginning Himself, but existed from all eternity. As far as the human mind can go back, the Lord Jesus was there.He never was created. Wow....i serve a God that was never created.
Look at verse 2.
He was present originally with God. So when we get weak, family, friends ,co workers, all give different advice...come to Jesus. He's with God..
He is God. He's bigger than my problems, bigger than my fears. I Hit those knees, and make my request known to this powerful full of mercy God. Amen

Don't do it.

Because of the hardness (stubborness and perversity) of your hearts Moses permitted you to dismiss and repudiate and divorce your wives; but from the beginning it has not been so ordained. In this throw away age and the culture in America, parents have said to their children, if u marry and u don't like it.....throw them away and get u another one. Or live with them have babies etc...it's  the same. No it's  not. The marriage union should be very hard to dissolve. Commit then work through all problems.Surely if your vows meant nothing, then the consequences will overtake you as you try to create another life.By the way...this was scripture from Matthew chapter 19 verse 8.God created marriage in the beginning...not divorce.

True love...has TRUE GRIT.

Something i read the other day that best describes my feelings for those with trials in their marriages. It said...A perfect relationship is not actually perfect. A real relationship is one where both parties NEVER GIVE UP. God bless.

God is pruning, serve him worship Him regardless.

Good morning to all who are reading. I'm  doing a study on pruning. The book of St. John chapter 15. As usual there is much more than meets the eye. Of course pruning is pretty obviously cleaning something up. Could be said to be cleaning something out. In this chapter Jesus speaks in an agricultural manner. Remember to keep in context. Agriculture was very big in this area of the world. So I'm going to introduce us to this concept again because it never has changed,and never will. It's about fruit bearing the old way, and fruit bearing the new way. It should make you think. If u are a true believer, are u bearing fruit, and how? In this modern age, how is it done? Are you reaching people,and how?
I'm asking this twice, because that is probably what has changed over the years. Just a hint, you can use technology to assist in the reaching of people. Let me caution that technology and church worship should go hand-in-hand. Do not let technology stop you In going to church and worshipping with fellow believers. Just a warning that the Bible teaches not to forsake yourself from assembling as the manner of some is. Again good morning, time will not permit me to spend much time blogging today because of church. Go to church this morning. And tonight. Get hungry to hear the word of God in person. Pick a bible-believing church. So much has watered down today in the preaching and teaching. But go. Go any way. Amen.

Why mess it up.

Chapter 11 1st Corinthians verse 12. King James Version says it this way ,for as the woman is of the man, so is the man also by the woman and all things of God. In the Amplified Bible it says this, for as woman was made from Man, even so man is also born of woman and all whether male or female go forth from God. As their author. What an awesome thing God had created. Why do we want to mess it up. God bless.

What shall we say ( to all this )?
Are we to remain in sin in order that God's grace(favor and mercy) may multiply and overflow?
Certainly not! How can we who died to sin live in it any longer? This is Chapter 6 of Romans verses 1 and 2.
We are not to play games with our blood bought salvation. We are not to remain in Sin, that is habitually sinning. As if to crucify Christ over and over. How can we live
In our sin any longer? Do not use your liberty to continually sin. Because if you do, Christ will have to die for you over and over and over. The Bible says certainly not. You're not walking around playing the dangerous game a being saved yet falling backwards into your Old sinning habits. Just a little short listen before I go to rest. God bless

What God can do, when man will not.

Good morning. The book of Jeremiah chapter 23 beginning with verse 1 time does not permit made to go over this entire chapter but it is nonetheless awesome. The Bible says woe to the Shepherds who destroy and Scatter the Sheep of my pasture  says the Lord. Prophets Kings civil leaders all those who failed to tend the Lord's flock(israeli people) yet the Lord decides to intervene. In verse 2 we see the Lord begins to tell them what they have done and then tells them what he's going to do. Here he says therefore thus says the Lord the God of Israel, concerning the Shepherds who care for and Feed My People: you have scattered my flock and giving them away and have not visited and attended to them, behold, I will visit and attend to you for the evil of your doings says the Lord.My goodness this shows the seriousness of this problem. Something comes to my mind this morning, what has happened to America? Looks like the Sheep of God's pasture those who founded our country and fear God and trusted in him, may have been scattered by our governmental Civic leaders. Right here in the case of Israel the Lord declares to these leaders that he will visit them for their evil and attend to these leaders for what they have done.Well in verse three 3 He begins to tell us. He says and I will gather the remnant of my flock out of all the countries to which I have driven them and will bring them again to their Folds and pastures and they will be fruitful and multiply. And this third verse we begin to see clearly that the Lord is speaking of the last days where he will gather up his people from all around the world and send them home and they will be fruitful and multiply. That is important to note. In verse 4, and I will set up Shepherds over them which shall feed them and they shall fear no more nor be dismayed neither shall they be lacking saith the Lord. In verse 4 we see the Lord promises that in that day none would be missing or lost. Meaning every man will be accounted for not ignored. Yep....thats you and you and you. If you're getting up going to work this morning and you think that you're hidden in your own little world,and no one cares or is watching....God said He is.He said do not be affraid.In verse 5 the Lord begins to tell Israel that there is coming a day that He will raise up Jesus and He(Jesus) will reign wisely, justly, throughout all the land. I will stop right there in verse 5. Jesus has already come the first time. He has raised up many Shepherds, to help tend His flocks. This shows me, how serious it is to accept the calling of Pastor. It's a hard job, not for the timid. If not done properly, serious consequences will follow. In better words you will be judged by God. But before that happens God will take control of his flock. If you really want to get into this entire situation, you must read the rest of the chapter. Now for the flock, there is good news that's in verse 3 and verse 4. Until later God bless.

Pray.

I pray for a man who just walked up to me,said he had a ringing in his brain that never stops(24) hours aday. No cure he says. Has had it 48 yrs...he is 55 yrs of age. So much illness,in our lives. Pray for him.

Hello hello hello!

Good early morning again. When God calls He calls.Today it's psalm 17. An awesome prayer of David. I wish to start by mentioning one of the things David said to the Lord. I believe there are many out there reading this that have found themselves in the same position and maybe they did the opposite. I pray not. Vengeance has to be God's.  Listen to this. David told the Lord" My footsteps haven't sliped. I haven't resorted to violence against my enemies when i had plenty of chance to do so.You find this in verses 4 and 5.
Chapter 17:1 David said Lord,Hear the right,my righteous cause,hear my shrill ,piercing cry! Give ear to my prayer,that comes from unfeigned and guiltless lips. This i can say i have done,in my ever praying day to day walk. I've never before been able to say this to God from the position i am in.I realize my fight is with principalities and Power, far above my head, yet it seems they swirl all about me during my day. They're waiting and watching to see what I might do. They have done this after accusing me before the Father and his throne daily. Just as the Bible teaches. I'm confident God knows my every thought, knows what i will do before i do it, yet he wants me to Trust Him. And i am working on that thru my grief. So in verse 2 i as David ..
Move along."Let my sentence of vindication come from you!!! May Your eyes behold the things that that are just and upright. I have had many times in my walk with with God, had to ask for this very thing...and He delivered.Read verse 3. He has proved my heart He has visited me in the night,He has tried me and foumd nothing[ no evil purpose in me] I have purposed that my mouth shall not transgress. And of course verses 4 and 5 i mentioned in the beginning. People, this is why i am up this early. I wrestle with my God, over so many issues. With utmost respect for His power,and Holiness. I will continue until i win. But realizing He (God) always has my best at heart.
After all, He gave his utmost for my highest.  Meaning i show my respect to Him by regarding Him all the day long. He is full of mercy and grace towards me. Many times our battles in life, are chances for a mighty move of God. So i am battling on with my Lord, as Satan has dug in to watch. Who will win? The Lord?  Me? Watch while God snatches victory from the jaws of defeat. He hears my prayers, my request, and thru it all, i am learning to trust in Jesus I've learned to trust in God. As a pastor told me last week, something very profound, if God has allowed me to do battle with Him, then all is not lost because he's not through with me. If He were I would not be able to write this to you. I must say I've heard that many times before in very critical situations. Now it has a more deeper meaning. I sit here every day waiting for him to come, or to take me yet He hasn't. He must be having fun with me. Do you think? I just chuckled a little just now visualizing God chuckling at me as He knows my frame. Minutes turn into hours hours into to days, days in to weeks, weeks into months. I am still here grasping every minute of every day seizing it and the opportunities for prayer. I love you Lord I respect you Lord you are every fiber of my being. You are the reason for me to exist. A vessel to be used in whatever way you Deem necessary. You know without you in my life nothing is possible. If we are able to continue together, you alone will have to be faithful. Faithful to you're calling of me. Amen

CORRECTION.

Correction is to the blog sometimes. I'm speaking to already married people. And i
must lead you to read 1st Corinthians chapter 7 especially verses 10 and 11. I apologize

Sometimes.

You know sometimes....thats what we all say. Lol. Anyway, sometimes they say people fall out of love. I say only if you let yourself. If u ever loved someone, u can stay that way if u choose to. That person was good enough in the beginning, so they changed a bit. So did you. They still love you. And i bet they more than love u. I bet They're entire life is wrapped up in you. People are not throw away objects. My advice, is Don't do it. Just saying.

Read Galatians chapter 6:verses 1: thru 5.

Good morning. Galatians chapter 6 beginning with verse 1. OKAY, This is clear GODLY orders. You who are responsible to, and controlled by the Holy Spirit, should restore,and SET RIGHT, then reinstate
a brother or sister in the Lord, who is over taken in misconduct or sin of any sort. This should be done without any sense of superiority and with all gentleness. Keep an attentive eye on yourself, lest you should be tempted as well. Now that is in verse 1 of Ephesians chapter 6. I think it's self-explanatory and very difficult to do in a busy world. First of all if i we're sitting at home and not going to Fellowship in a church with other believers, this usually is not going to occur. No matter what you may think or say you know that to be true. We are wrapped up so much in the cares of the world, that we never would get around to doing this. Has anyone noticed on the way to church all the people out in their yards playing with their shrubbery mowing lawns jogging,with or without the dogs lol.
In some cases sitting in a restaurant having breakfast talking about world events family problems all these things. Well people that's what lost people do, if we're doing it with him how can they tell the difference? The scripture is actually to the elect, meaning those who put all their trust and rely on Christ their savior for everything. So if you're in a small or big church you must keep these things in mind. Now this doesn't go on during the church service it goes on afterward. For small churches easy to notice because many in the small churches will go out to eat after church or socialize and at the church. But are we busy about the Lord's business if we're not doing this. According to this scripture we're not. We're supposed to Bear which means to endure and carry one another's burdens and Troublesome moral faults, and in this way fulfil and observe perfectly the law Christ Our Messiah and complete what is lacking in your obedience to it. Now people what I just said about burying and enduring and carrying one another's burdens, is inverse 2 of Galatians chapter 6. 
Okay in verse 3 for if any person thinks himself to be somebody [ too important
to condescend to shoulder 
anothers load] when he is nobody[ of superiority except in his own estimation] he deceives himself and cheats himself. Now this is found inverse 3 of Galatians chapter 6. Now simply put way too many Christians feel this way about themselves. Or at least they seem to be this way especially when we're talkin about events or activities going on in the world around us and abroad. But this clearly tells me that when I act that way I probably need to check up and remember that God knows that I am just flesh and i need to watch what i say, and pay more attention to the needs of others. Stop thinking more highly of yourselves as you should. In verse 4, the Bible says but let every person carefully scrutinize and examine and test his own contact and his own work. He can then have the personal satisfaction and joy of doing something commendable, meaning in itself alone, without resorting to boastful comparison with his neighbor. In this verse this could be not only speaking about spiritual gifts, people in church jealous of another's gift. I think it also to be speaking of, like it said, your neighbor. I am not acting as though I am a theologian writing a commentary. This is just a Blog that is not supposed to be too long. I'm just sharing. Let's look at verse 5 Galatians chapter 6. For every person we'll have to bear which means be equal to understanding and calmly receive. His own little load of Oppression faults. Now this is true no one out there has a life of gravy like we're told they do. According to the world of television, and I have to say so many Christians take counsel from the ungodly. That is a shame because this scripture clearly states that every person will bear his own load of oppressive faults. Our world today, and I mean American society European Society especially is way too busy 2 think on these things. Is easy in our daily chores things we have to do to not 
I wonder how many are suffering and we don't know. They are to embarrassed to tell us. There's also the fact that its hard to tell in America because our culture says we must work for it. And we should as long as we can. So many have chosen to not work, and now it's hard to tell who needs help. I'm just Saying slow down some need financial assistance, and so so many need spiritual assistance from Godly Born Again Christians. Arrogance appearing to think we're something when we're not, the Bible is simply saying we should scrutinize our own selves examine our own selves test our conduct and then as Christians we can have a personal satisfaction and joy of doing something commendable. Before you get scared and start grabbing your wallets, I didn't mean handouts, this is for people that we know are in need. Not just some person standing on the street begging. Whether you know it or not I have to throw this in there, some beggars in America make more money then you do working by simply begging. This blog is my reflection on myself. The scripture is 4 anyone who is over taken in misconduct of sin, and how we should treat them. That's all. God bless I'm going to step out of this scripture move on to something else in a while. There are those out there that I have not seen in awhile, I want to tell you I love you with all of my heart. That's all I can do.

THIS MORNING URGENT. IT CAUSES U TO TRULY LIVE.

Real quick this morning before church. I've been looking at Ezekiel chapter 37. The entire chapter is awesome especially the part about the dry bones. I wondered how I could be stirred up in the Lord this morning in light of the things going on in my life. You know I thought I was having it bad until I looked at Facebook and I saw a man his picture, and I read some of the things he said. He was holding a baby child in his profile, that should have been awesome. But it wasn't. I read a couple of his post, he obviously had a situation where his wife had left him. He did not say why. But I had a very sad feeling about this situation. He obviously has a dead life. Not one regard at all for the Lord anywhere in the post. Yet he seemed to be miserable unhappy. I had such a heavyweight on my spirit this morning reading his post. I got down on my knees prayed and cried Convict him Holy Spirit of his sin and he would turn to Jesus and be saved. I also had a feeling that he, if he did this he could possibly save his marriage. Wow. What did I get out of this? I read Ezekiel chapter 37 and I thought about this man's dry bone. I thought about how if I could not trust Jesus I too would have dry bones. I also was reminded by the Holy Spirit that as long as I regard God, how could I not love him as powerful as He is. (Tears).
I also was made to realize that there are worse things in this world than this man losing his wife. The main one would be, what would it profit a man, if he should gain the whole world yet lose his own soul. Please read Ezekiel 37 .I've got to get ready for church. But the Lord in this chapter is so powerful. The Lord tells Ezekiel to prophesy on some dead Dry Bones of once-strong warriors.  oh look at verse 12 people the Lord told Ezekiel therefore prophesy, and say to them, thus says the Lord God: Behold  I will open your Graves and cause you to come up out of your graves, oh my people and I will bring you back home to the land of Israel. You can reference that in Hosea chapter 13 verse 14. And reading on in verse 13 and you shall know that I am the Lord your Sovereign ruler, when I have opened your Graves and cause you to come up out of your Graves oh my people. Verse 14 and I shall put my spirit in you and you shall live and I shall place you in your own land then you shall know understand and realize that I the Lord have spoken it and performed it says the Lord. People this morning wake up get up Stirrup dress up clean up go to church it's not going to kill you it could end up being the day that God raises your dead bones it causes you to really live.

Good morning, I'm up early with barely a nap. Idle time i suppose bothers me some. I'm looking at something that i have been teaching on for sometime the past few months. The book of Hebrews. Also reading from passages in a book called the essential works of John Wesley.
After Mr Wesley taught in Hebrews chapter 10.....He had some profound remarks. Lets look back at what was the topic.Christian persecution is the topic. Lets start with this.
Luke 6:22...Christ says the following " blessed are ye, when men shall hate you, and when they shall separate you from their company, and she'll reproach you, and cast out your name as evil, for the Son of man's sake."
Here we see Christ telling us  something we will be blessed for. Yes and i will warn those...that I think this is an excuse to be angry forceful belligerent. Absolutely not this is something that will happen to some. And this is what will happen to those few. Now some according to the book of Hebrews, will come to the point of shedding blood. Their own blood. Men's said all kinds evil all of them even as had been said of the prophets who were before them. And whatever any opposers would  afirm, others would believe so that the offences grew as the stars of Heaven for multitude. Now some for a Season suffered only shame and reproach, some, the plundering of their goods, some, scourging, some chains imprisonment, and others resisted to blood. And that of course is all in the book of Hebrews chapter 10 verses 32 through 34, chapter 11 verse 36. Brother Wesley's conclusion is as follows Thus did Christianity spread itself in the Earth. But how soon did the tares appear with the wheat and the Mystery of iniquity work as well as the mystery of godliness! Right here is the point of this discussion.  In our churches tares sit among the wheat. Question, how to deal with this. I say preach to them and teach them knowing full well that the tares are acting as though they are the elect.This can cause issues that can cause harsh feelings. In a large congregation we usually see where there are members of the staff that can deal with these issues before they get out of hand. And what I have in mind is a differences of doctrinal beliefs. Thats if they believe they are the elect. If they are truly born again it may just be a difference in doctrinal beliefs. How did i get off on that subject? Lol.
The real issue in these verses, is concerning the different ways persecution will come. And I'm considering that if you're a pastor or a teacher you cannot preach the gospel to the Lost edify your congregation when over half of the congregation sees thru different lenses.  This very thing becomes a form of persecution. It can hinder what the man of God is preaching or teaching. Brother Wesley and his statement about Christianity spreading itself in the Earth, then as soon as you do that the tears will appear with the wheat then this all becomes a mystery. A mystery of how iniquity works and a mystery of godliness and how it works. Think on these things examine these things pray on these things. We must not give up we must continue, even when dealing with stressful issues in the house of God. Satan will certainly have his army ready to fight you and try to sift you like wheat. Look at what the scripture said. What some of these godly people went through. They lost their financial Goods. They were mocked. And from what I've read historically many Godly men, had their marriages and homes attacked. And I'm sure many we've never heard actually lost their families. The attacks come like job's wife when she said Curse God and die. These have to be painful. And difficult to go through. Now my brothers and sisters, oh how there's much for us to pray about. Truly loving one another, will accomplish much. I just wanted to touch base on this issue. Because I have seen it first hand mostly in the smaller churches. Because they're understaffed unable to deal with the issues in the flock properly. I will say this we must before we consider growth, we must or May have to purge what's in our congregation. If we cannot win them we may have to separate from them. Course that is not the goal but it may have to happen. Now my personal opinion is after a while then get moving. The mystery of iniquity mingled with the mystery of godliness can keep you occupied. If not fixed it can hinder a move of the Holy Spirit. It can quench the Spirit. In our modern times I find that everybody thinks they know everything. Their opinion is all that matters. Yes even in the church house. Therefore we lose respect for the authority all of our leaders. And I might mention, that the loss of respect can occur in the home, and then carry over in the church house. That is awful, it's destructive, and if not gotten control of can cause churches to fail. The Bible says if a man cannot handle his house, then he cannot handle the church or the house of God. Now that's not a separate subject all of this is caused by the mingling of Tares. I'm gone for now. I love ya, keep the faith

BEAR THIS.

What hinders? It is this.that men say all manner of evil about those whom God is pleased to use as instruments in His work? O you fools, did you suppose the devil was dead? Or that he would not fight for his kingdom? And with ,if not with lies? Is he not a liar,and the fatherof lies? Bear then,thus far: Let the the devil and his children say all manner of evil of us. And let them go on deceiving each other,and being deceived.But you need not be deceived also; orif you are,if you will believe all they say, be it so: thst we are weak,silly, wicked men without sense, without learning, without even s desire or design of doing good. YET I INSIST ON THE FACT: Christ is preached and sinners are converted to God. None but a madman can deny this. We sre ready to prove it by a cloud of witnesses. Neither,thetefore,can the inference be denied that God is now visiting His people. O that all men snd women may know, in this their day, the things that make for their peace! The above was taken from the writings of  JOHN WESLEY....An Earnest Appeal To Men Of Reason And Religion.
The words concerning the devils fight i found enlightening. I can for one, guarantee Satan is Alive and Well he has an army of demons to enact his deeds for him to put stress on anyone preaching teaching or even trying to live a life pleasing to God. My life being an example. I hope these words from Brother John Wesley will be of encouragement to those who stand in the pulpit those who are serving their church as Deacons Sunday school teachers Bible study teachers Etc. I will also say that if everything seems to be going good, something must be wrong.

Opposition to Jesus, means.oppostion to us.

Confronting Jesus. You know sometimes we had to confront things. But right here in the Book of John Chapter 11 we see Jesus makes a decision 2 challenge the Jewish authorities the high priest all of the Sanhedrin Court. It's never and enjoyable thing to confront wrong and it is true that the way we do it should be considered. But something terribly wrong sometimes has to be dealt with in our churches with our brethren. Or our sisters in today's Church. More and more churches I have noticed are full 

Of people attending and some even in Bible School Bible studies. Some Churches real small have half of their congregation leaning towards a totally different set of doctrines other than the one they're attending. If we're faced with a situation like this there needs to be a sit-down meeting to discuss these issues. Before the church can go on any further. I have been absolutely amazed at what I found and some of these small churches. Now let me say I do love and have learned to love these people dearly. But most of the ones I have in mind cannot tell me why they are attending the church that they are. After teaching them for months and months how about salvation plus does not exist. When you read Ephesians Galatians Hebrews on and on, you see that Christ dying for you once is enough. And in most of those Epistles the apostles were speaking to their Jewish brethren who had become Christians. But many in the congregations wanted to carry past doctrines from the Jewish synagogues into the Christian church. Well I'm going to be blunt people today in our nation of the United States, are horribly doing the same thing. I'm not complaining about denominations here I'm just saying that if you're born again you can go boldly Before the Throne of God with your petitions without having to go through any man to do it for you. That is good news not bad news. There is some that believe what I just said to be correct, but then they think you had to validate your salvation by speaking in unknown tongues. Here's an example hablando baba baba baba baba baba baba. Did anyone understand that is there an interpreter out there that can tell me what that is. Please people stop playing religion. I do not need to speak in tongues to validate my salvation it is nowhere written in the scriptures. When I chose the denomination that I'm in, it's because their beliefs as far as I'm concerned are more in line with the reality of the scripture. And as long as I'm on this planet in this body I need to be led by the Holy Spirit and have the Liberty to tell the truth. Now what does this have to do with what I started talkin about Jesus in this lesson? It's because Jesus made a decision to confront the Jewish authorities by raising the Dead in Galilee. When Jesus raised a person from the dead in Galilee that was kind of sort of okay. So when he raises someone within 2 miles of the walls of Jerusalem this got The religious leaders attention. How Could these Jewish leaders deny the resurrections when they were so close to the center of the Jewish domain? Well they couldn't and if I went very much farther in the story we will find that this kind of thing is what ultimately led to the crucifixion of Jesus. When Pharisees reported Lazarus being raised from the dead the high priest call the Sanhedrin Court into session immediately. Here's their quote, what are we going to do since this man does many signs? If we let him continue in this way everybody will believe in him! Then the Romans will come and remove both our place and our nation you can find this in the Book of John chapter 11 verses 47 and 48 they were concerned about their place first, then their Nation if they didn't do something to stop Jesus they feared a revolution against Rome, which to them would result only in defeat for the nation and their removal from Power. Okay I could go on further and further but the whole store and purpose of me mentioning this was to say that either we're born again and the Holy Spirit in dwells us and leads us,what to do or not.  we do not need to be ugly about these things that I had before hand mentioned yet I see so much fear in church leadership as to the results of Liberty to speak the truth. We have to have these things ironed out immediately in some little churches even if it means the possible demise or should we say end of the organization. If Jesus can face death, if the apostles faced death and the shedding of their blood, then we need not worry over the doctrinal differences just set them straight. nobody's going to kill you for it. but you must liberate your congregation if the Holy Spirit be not hindered. then you can worship in one mind and one Accord and free up the Holy Spirit to do his work to grow your church. Not to those this does not apply I do understand. But these are issues that I have actually taught under for a few years and have seen absolutely nothing addressed. anything that's done must be done in much prayer. Bathed in prayer. just a little short blog I hope you understand God bless. PS. expect push back, Jesus did.

This saith the Lord.Heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool.What kind of house would you build for me? And what kind can be my resting place? [REFERENCE
Acts 17:24] oh my goodness let's look at Acts chapter 17 verse 24, The God Who produced and formed the world and all things in it. Being Lord of Heaven and Earth, does not dwell in handmade shrines. Watch look at verse 25 of Acts 17, neither is he served by human hands as though he lacked in it for it is he himself who gives life and breath and all things to all people reference Isaiah chapter 42 verse 5. So let's look at what kind of house I clean prayed up cleaned up spiritual house in our bodies. A putting God first every time we get up as we walked through the day and as lay down at night. Then where do we go from there? We make sure we have a clean vessel and then God's holy spirit can rest within us. As I'm speaking of the spiritual body I'm also thinking of a clean spiritual body it may be trying to build a church building with people in it. Well my mind really wonders at with my heart over what I would do if it were me I would have that building with plenty of alter space and it would be built with intent of real actual worship. If you're not clean I would tell you you need to come to this altar and confess to the father your Sins ,then clean ur act up. Then we can now have real worship.Sinners all over town welcome to our prayer worship service. Let the right mind be in you. The only tradition I would like to have in his church, is a church where we act as if we were Abraham. Abraham moved in faith and by faith and everywhere he moved he constructed a new altar to pray to lay his sins, to stir up the Holy Spirit so that he can move through his day in a faithful manner. Anyway my mind's just wondering along with my heart. I would open the doors to this church to all serious searchers for answers and I would say don't talk it walk it. Walk it right after this altar get down on those knees and get busy with the Lord and serious with the Lord. Trust me everything after that would be filled with the Holy Ghost and answers would come and true worship would happen this is a short blog but a subject I find very intriguing. Now I know most churches are going to go strictly by denominational practices. But maybe that's what's wrong why there's not a mighty moving of the Holy Spirit anymore. If anyone who is in charge of church services think on that. Talk to you later

Good late evening here on the east coast of America. Vs 6 of the book of Isaiah chapter 64. Tell me, is the life your living worth dieing for. Think hard on this. The book of Isaiah chapter 64 verse 6 says this. But we are all as an unclean thing and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags, and we all do Fade as a leaf and our iniquities like the wind have taken us away. Verse 7 and there is none that calleth upon thy name that stirreth up in self to take hold of the day for that has had that face from us that has consumed us because of our iniquities. Couple things here the best we have to offer and the most simplest times that we think we're living in, are not and never will be good enough. They will be like filthy rags dirty filthy rags. Of course we think better of ourselves than that. Dinner course we see that there is none that calls upon the name of the Lord. That stirreth up himself to take hold of the for that has head that face from us and has consumed us because of our iniquities It says a lot to put that in today's perspective. We are as filthy rags are very best. Yet they're still not very many at all that will dare to reach and grasp Christ. To be transformed by the newing of our minds. I challenge us all to recognize where we stand before the Almighty. Then may it humble us and give us boldness to reach out and grab. Listen up to live is Christ and to die is gain.

Good morning.
Oh my,what follows is something I've never cared to think about yet I've had to on accaision. Here it is, 1st Corinthians chapter 7 beginning with verse 10. This was and still is an example of the Apostle Paul's concern for the sanctity of marriage. And I can imagine many people probably came to him with all their different questions and all their different situations concerning marriage. So he was led by the Holy Spirit to write these words verse 10 and by the way he was speaking to Gentiles here in other words non Hebrew people. He said unto the married I command, yet not I, but the Lord, let not the wife depart from her husband. But and if she depart, let her remain unmarried, or reconcile to her husband, and let not the husband put away his wife. Now that's some pretty good stuff ignored by so many people which causes so many problem now and down the road. Unnecessary problems. And not only hurts the two people involved now this is man and woman that I'm speaking of,not gay couples. Like I started to say it not only devastates the married couple, if you have children that can devastate them.It can show scars on their lives for many years to come passing all the way down through the grandchildren and so on. These are simple rules set according to the Apostle Paul here, by the Lord. Lean on these words trust in God. When you do that you have done all you can do. This is not a source of pride it is a source of uplifting because when you believe this scripture you are totally on the side of God and this issue. Pray for anyone you know going through this situation.

Consequences...u cannot run.

Morning! Some notes much needed in todays world.
Therefore a man leaves his father and his mother and cleave to his wife, and they become one flesh. You can read that in Genesis chapter 2 verse 24. This Unity is not only a physical Unity it is also a spiritual and emotional Unity of profound dimensions. A husband and wife joined together in marriage are people that God has joined together Matthew 19 verse 6. Sexual Union with someone other than one's own wife or husband is a specially offensive kind of sin against one's own body. You can reference that in 1st Corinthians chapter 6 verse 16, and verses 18 through 20. And within marriage husbands and wives no longer have exclusive rule over their own bodies, but share them with their spouses. Reference that 1st Corinthians chapter 7 verses 3 through 5. These are important notes. The term emotional Unity a profound dimensions wow.
Listen up please when divorce is contemplated and then a person begins down the road of adultery and fornication while married actually any time but specifically I'm talking about right now marriage. No one seems to know how to control or console anyone going through divorce or separation. I believe it's because it has extreme emotional disturbances. Now those have gone through it certainly should know this. But yet most people try to put on the best face and hide whats Within. What I'm speaking to is what's Within that people hide. An example of this would be others trying desperately to guide you console you etc. yet you begin to feel like something is going on inside your soul and spirit and heart, an emotion that even if you're in a crowd of supporters you can't seem to shake it. Well I hate to break the bad news but when we say I do to someone we're vowing a vow in front of God and the public to love honor and cherish one another until death do us part. When I break that Bond oh my goodness, internal emotion pain is unleashed. Trust me you're wasting your time if you are praying for God to help you get a divorce. I know that sounds crazy to some but I have known people throughout my life that actually believe that God wants them to be happy so He's going to support your efforts to flee a commitment. I'm speaking to the emotional aspect at this point. There are many other things to mention like the spiritual aspect and the physical aspect that I'm not speaking of it  at this time and here's why. The union between husband and wife is not temporary but it's lifelong. Two examples, Malachi 2:14 through 16. And Romans chapter 7 verse 2 . It is not trivial but is a profound relationship created by God in order to picture the relationship between Christ and his church Ephesians chapter 5 verse 23 through 32. We must all start looking at the relationship more than we look at the big wedding parties photographs and kisses and hugs. If you truly want happiness in your marriage it would be absolutely wonderful if you are born again and married a born-again person. But what if you don't? Your marriage he is always urgent in God's eyes. Saved or not saved God is not going to go back and change his reasons for creating man and wife. He did all this in their image. Their who? The Father the Son and the Holy Spirit. All three created you, created me and created your marriage and wanted us to create a family. So this should bring questions to your mind. Like what if we're already divorced and we remarry. Well let's put it this way, what a tangled web we weave, when at first we practice to deceive. How does that fit in this blog? Let's put it this way deception is what gets us divorced to begin with. We deceive ourselves that we know better than God and that we must not be married to this person after all they disappointed us and hurt our feelings. While that's probably true that is not grounds to totally wipe out what God has joined together. You say God didn't join it together? Well that's not correct. He did because of the hardness of our hearts he allowed us to get a divorce. Allowing is not condoning and it does not, now listen up carefully it does not and never will do away with the consequences of our decisions to get a divorce. God's not going to change his creation ideas Just to suit our petty excuses. I hope I don't offend anyone here but let me tell you I have experienced this for going on 47 years. It has taken me this long to truly understand the sincerity the importance and the absolute creation of marriage and what it is and what it represents. Time does not permit me to continue,so I will leave you with this. always pray for your marriage do not give up on your partner because believe me the world will tell you there's something better and God says no there's not. Consequences consequences consequences consequences. when all the people that advise you wrong have gone back to their lives, and you're left alone with your decision now welcome to consequences, because they're coming. Trust God trust his plan not our plan. Talk to you later God bless.

Just a short comment. I apologize for personal comments that were coming from a hurt man. This is not the direction i wish my life to go in. I love my mate, and honor my marriage. The previous blog i just deleted, does not reflect this. Once again I apologize pray for me and God bless you.

IS THIS WHERE WE ARE?

Is this where we are ? 1st Peter chapter 4verses 17 thru 18. For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God : and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God? And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and The Sinner appear? My friends we must begin first, and do this on a regular basis examine each and every one of our members in our local churches. Now previous verses Peter was of course speaking about the ways that us Christians should suffer if we're going to suffer. And then he says that we must begin at first with ourselves, the church the elect. And if we are in need of judgment then where in the world are the people that obey not the gospel of God. So there 4 if I am scarcely saved then where do all the ungodly people I know even if you're in my family, where do they appear what happens to them. This is why it's urgent for us to pray for those we are pretty sure are not believers. I mean believers meaning followers of Christ obeying the gospel as much as they can. We should be in our altars in our home in our church weeping an agonizing over our own sin and the sins of those who do not believe in Christ. The good Lord is our only hope. Look at all the broken homes, decade after decade after decade passed on from one generation to the other. Now we have young people and old alike taking up weapons to the street killing. We must learn to really love and show it. And I mean love even the ones that are not obeying the gospel those that are wrecking their homes, kids that have turned out bad. Kids that grew up and their parents knew not Jesus Christ as their savior, and the sins of the fathers have passed down to generation after generation. Yep, just because I go to church does not mean I'm perfect. It just means that I want to follow Christ Serve him ,do it after I've been to the altar and ask for the holy spirit's leadership and guidance. Ask him to Humble your heart, he will. That's hard to do on your own. Let me say this, it's impossible for me to do it on my own. I have to stay in the word of God stay in prayer in order for everything in my life to be at peace. Once again I love you all and let's begin right now, the Christians that are listening, let's begin with judgement in the house of God. In our house of God. Until later God bless.

1st Peter chapter 3....gives us many ways to treat each other as man and wife. Its awesome. Yes there will be push back on the woman's role according to the Apostle Peter. And yes being in subjection to her husband, and verse 6 it is mentioned where's Sarah obeyed Abraham. YET in American culture here in the 21st century, this spiritual Insight is rejected. In most cases both the husband and the wife misunderstand this scripture. Let's read verse 1 of chapter 3. It says likewise ye wives be in subjection to your own husbands that if any obey not the word they also may without the word be won by the conversation of the wives. Lots of ways to look at this. One thing I see is if a believing wife has a stubborn husband that does not obey the word of God if she is humble and submissive to her husband he could very well get saved just bye listening to the conversation of her and other wives that are believers. This is awesome. But then I skipped down two verse six no let's back that up to 5. For this manner in the old time the holy women also who trusted in God adorned themselves  being in subjection to their own husbands. You might want to back up also and read verse 2 3 4 and 5. Then in verse 6 the word obey is mentioned again. Where Sarah obeyed her husband Abraham calling him Lord. I believe every word of that. But but yet let's skip over here to the husband. The Bible tells me here that I am to dwell with my wife according to knowledge giving honor unto my wife as unto the weaker vessel and as being heirs together of the grace of life that your prayers not be hindered. Now listen people this is a great way to live. In this type of life the wife is to be honored not treated like a slave. And one of the reasons for that is because she ......here's that bad word, obeys her husband. She is in subjection to him. When he speaks all things concerning the church, or the spiritual condition of his home, these things are his responsibilities. His wife is not supposed to blabber every single word he has said to her concerning spiritual manners. Yes I said manners the way we conduct ourselves in God's house the way we conduct ourselves with one another as man and wife in God's house. This kind of living makes me love my wife more and more not less. And of course it should make her respect her husband more. Not be in competition with him to get attention. She has a tremendous role in God's business by supporting her husband in his service for the Lord at church or home.
When this is not done, love in the home diminishes, and we treat each other disrespectful. I love my wife, i try so hard to honor my wife. But what to do when this is not happening in the home. Thats another lesson.But I will tell you this no matter how bad it becomes the marriage commitment should be honored at all times. Feelings come and go the commitment always stays the same. Thank almighty God for commitment.

What's good for your soul gives you peace.

Confession is good for the soul. Confessing to personal
uncleanness,admit our best deeds are as filthy rags.
Listen up,we are as fading leaves driven away by the wind of our own iniquities. Isaiah chapter 64. There is spiritual deadness in America as in Israel at this particular time in history.Notice there are no intercessors to be found. Why? Because the Lord has abandoned them to the consequences of thier sins. Listen, could it be God has turned from us because of our overwhelming Sin? Yep just like in this story, there may  be some redemption because the Lord is our Father. In this story there is a remnant of Gods people in Israel, left over since the day of severe punishment Could there be a remnant left of Christians of old. Children or granchildren of previous Godly founders just waiting for God to make a move?
Still hope the potter will do something with the clay. So we must plead with God to relax His anger. To forget and forgive our sins,and acknowledge us as still being His people.We are afflicted, a powerless church. All talk and no testing. Having a form of godliness yet denying Gods power.In verses 10-12 we see Israel was devastated,  especially Jerusalem and the temple. According to the scripture these are good reasons for God to release his anger and act decisively in behalf of his afflicted people. The sins of our nation or probably even worse than Israel's were. A nation like ours passing laws to kill unborn babies yet support the so-called rights of same-sex relationships and marriages. The Bible teaches that these things are an Abomination to God. Yet America keeps doing them while the eyes of the world look upon us. Even some pretending Christians go along with these laws and believe they're correct. How can that be? How can you read God's word and come to that conclusion? The sin against marriage. The marriage between a man and a woman clearly laid out in the Book of Genesis. Marriage that was instituted before the fall of Man. God considers it to be sacred and we are not 2 go back on our vows made between Him,man,and women.There are obviously Sins that God will judge right here on Earth in our lifetime. By defiling the marriage bed between a husband and a wife, we bring into that bed fornication and of course adultery. The book of Hebrews chapter 13 clearly states that the adulterer and the fornicator God will judge. Look at our nation 1 out of every two marriages end in divorce. What do most of these people do? I tell you they get another mate. They commit fornication with him or her then they claim to be in love with them and then they marry them. Furthermore if one of the persons in the relationship does not wish to be out of the relationship, if that person down the road gets another bedmate, then the mate that did not wish to be divorced is forced to commit adultery as well I tell you from experience that that's the way it occurs. If there were children involved then everyone's life becomes soupy. I also tell you that that God says we all shall be judged. Right here in our lifetime. Ex husband's ex wives children involved on both sides, marriage remarriage, what a mess. And no it does not run smoothly. Yet couples tend to continue to believe their way is correct and God's way if there is a God they say , is wrong. Let me tell you the pain coming from this type of living never leaves you. Millions lie in their beds at night with their new lovers but go to bed thinking about their previous mate. Where are they , who are they with ,wonder how they're doing? Now you know I'm telling the truth it's a hard truth. But I've also lived that experience. I've had previous mates married or not married contact me 30 to 40 years or longer later expressing horrible remorse for what they did 40 45 years earlier. Panting
Hinting heavily of the desire for me to return. Oh my goodness, which makes me think of the old saying quote Oh what a tangled web we weave when at first we practice to deceive. If anyone reading this has a new lover ,they have an abandoned a mate that they were married to, then repent and go home if that is possible. If you have not entangled yourself in a new marriage. Release your torture of your own heart and brain. Then the Lord will see your repentance and you turn to him and he will make your marriage strong and he will bless you and turn his back on his own wrath. Then in America if enough people do this we will see God's blessing back on this nation. And his protection just like an Isaiah chapter 64. if you look further on,you see where God pleads tirelessly with a people who give themselves over to abominable things associated with idolatry and hedonism. When we live a holier-than-thou ,we know better than God life concerning these matters . they are a continual irritation to the most high. The Bible teaches us that he will repay them for all their idolatry and sin. He did this to Israel and Isaiah's day and I promise you he will do that now. Please run from your misery while you can. Stop defying our Holy God. I pray for all those in this state of mind at this time. That you will repent and spare yourselves this agony. Do not listen to any others wether family or friend.
Your family or friends are complicit in this crime against  Gods holy dictates. He's not trying to show meanness he just knows how he made us and he knows what is best for us. Love you all.  Think me not to be a judge. It should be clear in this scripture and in
 other scriptures in the Holy Bible, that it is God almighty that is and will be the judge. God bless you.

He was stripped naked,spit on,smote Him on the head with a reed,He was mocked,whipped with a cat of nine tails, then led away to be crucified.Think you have problems? Yes you do, and this same Christ knows them and He's on your side.Scripture on the crucifixion are Matthew chapter 27:27 -31.
 He is the good shepherd .John 10:11. This is a short blog this morning, but with God's help i will return. JESUS SAID" I am the light of this world,he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness,but shall have the light of life. ( John chapter 8:12 ).Let me add a footnote, Many people cause their own problems by trying to hurt someone. Stop it. God is not supportive of spiteful, hurting situations. Pray my friend pray. Do not pray AMISS.

CONTEND OH LORD.

Contend ,oh Lord,with those that contend with me. Fight against those that fight against me.[ Psalm 35 ]verse 1. Good morning. In this passage of scripture, King David's feelings after so many attacks on his life. Right when we think we are safe, we find we had actual disloyal friends and sometimes family. I have always dreamed of being the best Dad, husband,employee.....yet right now i feel like such a failure. I look around and back at my life, i see very much pity. God had so much pity for me. I had no skills,just cast out in the street to survive.  I promise i did my best, in business,being a freight hauler. Did way to many jobs, looking unstable to many folks. Always concerned about what image i portrayed. I was a natural in the drycleaning business. Yet i was never satisfied. This caused much unrest in marriage. Wow did it ever. Who was the unrest with? Mostly me. Never satisfied with my performance. Hard on myself
So now on top of all this,when i finally realized how to be steady, my arteries hardened and 4 surgeries later( heart) i am retired. Finally get to be a Sunday School teacher,imagine that. What has this to do with this scripture? I've learned that we in modern American churches we can find enemies. Yep i said it enemies. I've uncovered some in my own home.
Wow...i guess it doesn't pay to have conviction.
This is my prayer concerning this matter. Look at verse 3. Draw out also the spear and javelin and close and close up the way of those who persue me and persecute me. Say to me, I am your deliverance! Meaning the Lord. Look at verse 4. Let them be put to shame and dishonor who seek and require my life. Let them be turned back and confounded who plan my hurt. Oh my look now at verse 6.
Let their way be dark and slippery places, with the Angel of the Lord pursuing and afflicting them. Look at verse 7.
For without cause they hid for me their net;  a pit of destruction without cause they dug for my life. Then in verse 9 David said let the net they created for him,catch them. Then in verse 9 David declares when this happened he would rejoice in his deliverance.
Oh my goodness. I believe as a born again Christian, i am entitled boldly to go to the throne of God and make my request known. So here it is.Heavenly Father u alone are Holy. Your Son Jesus Christ,
being my mediator,forgive me for my sins, those i know about and those i do not. Lord i claim David's request as my own. You alone know for whom,  and why i have this request.
Avenge me speedily.  In Jesus name Amen.

The book of Zephaniah we learn about the moral state Jerusalem in the prophets time, and inverse 17 are the third chapter of Zephaniah the Bible says this the Lord thy God in the midst of thee is mighty he will save he will rejoice over the with joy he would roll over thee with singing. I know but in this third chapter of Zephaniah the Lord is speaking to Jerusalem but he could also be talking to people this applies to that are haughty living ungodly making ungodly choices and decisions yet they need. Out there today people hurting so many hurting unnecessarily. To those doing the hurting this is the type of God that you got to deal with. In verse 7 the Lord says I said, surely thou Wilt fear me, that will receive instruction so their dwelling should not be cut off however I punished them but they Rose early and corrupted all they're doings. In verse 13 or chapter 3 the Bible says the remnant of Israel shall not do any equity nor speak lies neither shall a deceitful tongue be found in their mouth before they shut feed and lie down and None Shall make them afraid. The remnant in this case is verse 12 after he spoke to the haughty the prideful. Verse 12 I will also leave in the midst of The Afflicted and tour people and they shall trust in the name

Thou hast known my reproach,and my shame,and my dishonor: my adversaries arr all before thee.Reproach hath broken my heart;and i am full of heaviness: and i looked for some to take pity,but but there was none; and for comforters, but i found none. All this is in Psalm 69 verses 19,20. Turn your attention to verses 22 23 and 25.
Let their table become a snare for them. And that which should have been for their welfare,let it become a trap.let their eyes be darkened,that they see not. And make their loins continually to shake.Let their habitation be desolate; and let none dwell in their tents.

I am reading over 100's of quotes on marriage, many are biblical. Ya know I've began to think of my relationship with my wife. She was so cold anx indifferent from day one of our marriage. This has lasted over 5 years. We were on and off on our dating. She was never faithful, nor loyal. Always arguing with me, to marry her.Finally i did.
Text after text, accusing me of fear of commitment. Wow now she's  flipped it and abandoned her marriage. So i sit here thinking even with me teaching, her involved in our little church,  where we missed out. So many ways to love each other. But then, i realized i did try millions of times, and she shunned me. At church, she gossiped about our private life. I I was very suspicious but in the end I turned my face away from it. Hoping and praying that my trust in her was the right thing to do.Please forgive me for bringing this up but on my blogs I really like people to see The Human Side of me as well as spiritual. Even though it is a marriage that I'm talking about I was reading Ephesians chapter 4 vs 2 and 3. With all lowliness and meekness with long suffering forbearing one another in love endeavoring to keep the unity of the spirit in the bond of peace. The general subject here I was about the walk and service of the believer as in Christ. This scripture remind me that our love in our walk in Christ Jesus should include the way we treat our spouses. With gentleness and love. The Bible here is speaking of a Christian workers walk being Worthy of the position he holds. I was afraid in one day it would come to this. My spouse murmuring complaining to everyone in our small Church about her relationship with me. Shameful.
I'm sorry but it's very very difficult to remain focused when your spouse has abandoned you. It's difficult to wrap your spiritual arms around Christ and ask for mercy. Our spouses are humans just as we are and where they spend eternity is ever ever so urgent.

SO WE MUDDLE.

As you know not what is the way of the wind,or how the spirit comes to the bones in the womb of a pregnant women,even so you know not the work of God,who does all. Ecclesiastes chapter 11 verse 5. I saw my wife today, first time in a month. I must say she had a glow about her, even though she was surely troubled by my appearance. She shined as if she were a spring flower in a large field of blowing grass. It was great to see her.
Yet i wrestle with my Lord, over the true women inside her. Believer or not, born again or not. All i can say is it would kill me if i never saw her again. Then I say,(when i arrived home) after A short nap. Quote....i must get with God, AND the spirit leads me to this book of Ecclesiastes. And what do I learn?
I learn that we muddle through life since we do not know everything,with what knowledge we do have.We do not understand the movements of the wind, nor how bones and spirit are formed in the womb of a pregnant women.Neither do we understand what God does or why he does it. There could be many things,productive during a day we could lend our hands to. Maybe a few will prosper, maybe all. Spreading the word of God is successful, yet some methods are more fruitful than others. I believe the word is telling me i must press on early in the morning, and late in the evening. I feel from experience, that only service to God is the service in life i have to do at this time in my life and i can carry it successfully to my end. As i do this i will think on my little flower in the green field , and continue to love her, ask God to protect her from evil, and put a smile on her face. Ya see...what i am saying is i would love her to be in Gods glory with me some day. Think about someone you want to make it to heaven with you. We have not much way to know for sure , but we must pray for it hard. Never cease. We are not as smart as we sometimes think. I pray this makes sence to u.Amen.
