FEARLESS ADOPTED CHILDREN AND JOINT HEIRS!

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

THE WASTED YEARS OF MY LIFE.

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

Be watching.

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

BRETHREN MY HEARTS DESIRE.

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

Searching the heart.

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

BEFORE ITS TO LATE.

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

THY FAITH HATH SAVED THEE.

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