Good evening...the word forgive, and what happens to us when we spend alone time with God himself, and let Him work on us with His Holy Spirit. Ya know here is a shocker! Push away from whatever or whoever is hindering you(us). Get alone with God,do not let sin rule your life,your body. A yielded heart makes for a useful Christian.
When i get alone with God the first thing he wants to know is who have we not forgiven? So tonight i announce that i have forgiven someone for a very hurtful thing they have done to me.....and i now look to the Author and finisher of my faith, to carry me thru the hurt,with my eyes (of my heart) on Christ. You see we will leave this flesh one day, and so will those that hurt us. Do you really wish for them to be separated from Christ ,burning in Hell, just because of a hurt they put on you in this life..
Please don't do that. See them the way Jesus does ,with a sincere
heart. I promise you God Himself feels that is a great thing to do. He will forgive you of anything you have done to others.
I heard this for years and could not stand to hear it. Why?
Because i just did not put enough emphases on forgiving.
Maybe i wasn't ready to forgive. Listen,if someone is not ready to forgive you...........then let them be and turn them over to God.
Now, if you think that God'd gonna just let you hop and skip along
all happy and blis while someone out there hates you, or loves you but cannot get along with you? Well believe me God will not let you rest. It may not be your fault, but that person is hurt, and God sees their hurt, and your name is attached to it.
We must forgive, its an absolute must. If you want to experience the glory of the Lord when you enter God's house ,the people there must be forgivers. Read EZEKIEL chapter 44:verse 4. Under the new covenant of Christ, the law is gone. The rules are vanished. Replaced by new rules. New commandments. Love the lord ur God with all your heart,all your might. Love thy neighbor as thyself.
And especially love and protect the elect. The elect being the believers in Christ. Unlike the commands of the Lord in The 44th chapter of Ezek. Please learn to look at others who know about Jesus, but do not know Him as their King and redeemer.
Forgiveness is not possible if it is not first bathed in the love of Christ in your heart. Now i pray for all of us and....for forgiveness.

Must we do this continued.
Here we are again. Isaiah chapter 65 beginning with verse 5 and 6.
The jews were following other idols. Had made vows to them. Vows to idols. They were telling the lord and others to stay away from them because they were much better than them,and more righteous.
Ever had smoke run up your nostrils? Imagine the face you would make. God said these sins by His people were like a fire that burns all day. I will remind you,this is our creator,and for me and others He is my Lord. By reading and studying the Holy Bible i begin to understand this Lord i love more than my family and friends. The lord that has shown me in his word and in my recent life that to follow Him take up my cross, will cost me respect,love,and understanding. Back to the scripture.
In verse 6 the Lord makes it very clear He has had enough. He will not keep silent but will repay. Oh me, in verse 7 He is so disgusted
that He will make them pay for their fathers sins before them.
Idolatry and sin is what they are guilty of, all the way back to their fathers. Okay so in verse 8-12 of the 65th chapter the Lord decides
to spare the faithful remnant. He describes them as a cluster of grapes. Oh my goodness,my Father watches,judges, then remembers all of His elect, even to this modern day.
I have to mention right here something that broke my heart today.
A person i love, i am not sure if they truly are born again, and no matter what they have done to me, it rips my heart to think ....hell
awaits them. Hell prepared to swallow them up. Oh God,but that i
can stop that for them. God says no i have not that ability.Who do you know that does not pass muster on eternity?
Think about it tonight while you try to sleep. Someone you love
,maybe in your household, your spouse,your children.
Obviously if we can sleep well maybe we are not praying enough.
Think on this. Long before they close the casket lid on someone,if they were not written in the lambs book of life,they are in Hell.
It is a scary thing to fall into the hands of a living God. I believe the apostle Paul said that. I say yet it is a glorious victorious thing to be a believer trusting in Christ and to be held in His outstretched hands forever. What joy and peace comes when a believer passes from this sinful world to Heaven in the presence of Christ.
Listen up...in the 12th verse God told those who rejected Him,and raised their fist in His face,and scoffed Him,and told Him they were better than Him, that He (the Lord) was going to destine them for the sword. He said it was because when He called they did not answer,when He spoke,they did not listen or obey.But they did what was evil in God's eyes, and they chose what God did not delight in.
vs 13,He said His servants shall eat but they shall be hungry. His servants shall drink,but the lost shall be thirsty. Behold...Look....watch....God said His servants,the elect,the forgiven,shall rejoice,but the lost shall be put to shame.
vs 14...The Lord's servants shall sing for joy of heart, but the lost and rebellious shall cry out for pin and sorrow of heart and shall wail and howl for anguish,vexation,and breaking of spirit.
The closing verses of this chapter declare the end time and the awesome events and lives that true believers will have.
Listen, i am not afraid i might rock someones boat, make them doubt their salvation, so what about it. Are you playing church, acting out like a believer? Trust me, if your not sure,get on your knees cry out to God. Tell Him to save you,and then repent of your sins, everyday all day. Then trust the Holy Spirit to keep you. God is faithful the Bible says to do the things for you He promised. I cannot save you, church alone can not save you, but after you receive salvation.The local church Body is where you need to be. This chapter 65 of the book of Isaiah is only one of tons of chapters that God uses to reach out to you. He's at the door knocking right now. He can change your destiny for you, right now. Do it.....Just do it. I pray for you. We must all do this! Amen.

Must we do this?
Goodmorning. Hope i find everyone just fine. I am thinking of you
more than i think of myself. Why? Because we are all very much alike. This morning i wish to speak about God and His feelings.
Isaiah chapter 65. Before i begin....He hears people and their crying.
I am aware that in this chapter the subject is Israel. But this is the God i serve. He hears me. And no...you folks who insist on saying that God speaks audibly to you, He speaks through His word,The Holy Bible.
He allowed thru the inspiration of the Holy Spirit for certain men to write of the story of His involvement with these men,and His willingness to deal with us as well as them. Chapter 65 God speaks to the remnant of Israel. The few that had not bowed down to false gods. I will venture to say that in today's world many do not believe....or have faith. But for those of us that do, God has assurances that He is watching,and waiting, and He will bless us. In ways we know not, and some we already do know.
Here in this book God says He was ready to be inquired of, by those who asked not. Isaiah 65:1, He was ready to be found by those who sought me not. He said here i am (says the Great I AM) to a nation {ISRAEL}
that has not called on my name {Exodus 3:14; Isaiah 58:9}
In verse 2 ..He (the lord) said He had spread out His hands all day long to a rebelliou people,who walk in a way that is not good, after their own thoughts.
In verse 3 God says that these same people provoke Him to His face continually. Then He says they sacrificed (to idols) and burned incense on alters made of brick,instead of the way He (God) prescribed His alter to be built.
In verse 4...look at what they were doing. They sat in grave yards trying to talk to the dead, they went to caves,or secret places where familiar spirits were thought to dwell.They ate loathsome things in their vessels. Things God had not allowed them to do. In verse 5....God says what they were doing was arrogant and it was an on going irritation to Him.
Commentary: oh my gosh, i am having the thoughts that Israel and the saved elect of God today,still practice these types of things. Watching to much TV, following the advice of Tv preachers and talk show host with all their worldly advice. Some who deny God all together,or(the newest craze) try to rewrite scripture,twisting it so they can do what u are not aware of, getting your tithes and offerings. Wow. It's happening folks. Christians finding it easier to follow Tv preachers than to attend a local church. It is obvious that the doctrines preached on most Tv shows are doctrines the apostle Paul taught in his epistles that should be accursed. Yes both the preachers of it and their false doctrine. Oh well for the sake of time, i will end here. BUT....i will pick up later on "When God has had enough" verse six.

Yesterday was a decent day,but today i hurt. Can't seem to get it together. I feel the need to be planning things,yet i'm in to much pain to stay focused. You know how when we have bad days,but we snap back into reality and all seems to go better? Well what if the snap back is to the reality that all has changed? So you feel more desperate than u did. I seem to have NO drive today. If only i could sleep then wake to a better world.I am trying to share others hurts with them. Sometimes that makes me feel better.Oh well i am trying to push thru.Let me take a little break and i will return.Okay i took a Short nap. Feel some what better. Yet today and yesterday Satan and his crew of demons have been on me like ink on paper. But the word of God says my God is a consuming fire. Well, i did not say it, the writer of the book of Hebrews chapter 12 i believe the last verse. Do i believe it. Yes i do. So as i travel my time in this flesh,through this world i will remember this. I am also reminded of 2nd Corinthians chapter 12:verse 9...Christ tells me that His grace is sufficient for me. That His (CHRIST) strength is made perfect in weakness. I am in a warfare that is beyond this atmosphere. Beyond the thoughts and opinions of any man or woman. My eyes are evenly fixed on the battle, and the call is for God to take up my offense. He is. If any pastor, teacher, etc that's not in this battle with me, is doing himself a disservice and is not dressed for this battle.
Thus defeat would come. This warfare is a test of the will and promises of God.
The scars are in my body, and i sense in a very powerful way,Demons swirling over me and around each side of me.
I feel the Holy Spirit swirling over me as i sleep, protecting me and preparing me for the next battle. Spiritual battles that drag down your body and tire you. Every time i write or teach the battles become more intense.Sometimes they come from places we do not expect. People we do not expect to be our enemies. Very sly attacks. God humbling me as a person among these folks as i realize that God must do this to keep me from the fight, so He can be made perfect in order to fix the issues in accordance with His will.
Why am i writing this.....because the question is should i advance as in the flesh,taking control and fixing things somewhat faster? Ya know...the way i have done for 50 years. Now i must start anew and wait upon the Lord? I have had much advice, yet im not confident with that advice. I see some, itching to tell me, yet they fear. They fear my confidence in Christ.(How much faith do i have?)
Man the pain of waiting on the Lord. The Lord loves those that wish to destroy my trust in Him. Just like He loves me. So now... lets proceed and view this battle. Lets sit on the shoulders of the Lord, on the mountain top and watch Satan Destroy, see if God allows it, and then picks up and rebuilds. Father i'm waiting and watching.
Time is short. For a fixer like me.....it hurts, just to sit idle.
My life my car ,my home, my animals, my food, my medicine, my teaching ,where i attend worship,my finances,ALL are waiting to see which way you take me.You guys if you really care pray for this.
Amen.

JUST A LOT OF THOUGHTS THE LORD WHO KNOWS ALL.
Goodmorning. Had a dream this morning where i actually was shown i still had some worth. I was sent back many years to my Dry cleaning days in management. I was in my last cleaners i ran, but it was in today's world. I went in and talked to the help,told them to keep working but watch me as i ran their business. It was mostly for the manager. I ask her(the manager) did she wish to be successful?
Of course she said yes. I then said"watch me and all of you do what i tell you when i tell you.So i got busy because they were overrun with customers coming in and out of the lobby. i moved just like i did in the day, lol. Barking out orders...you go there,you do this while i do that, from the lobby with customers dropping off and picking up cloths.Cloths everywhere but in order,in neat piles,and neet bins to place them in until cleaning them. Me helping my employees in methodical but a fast way,watching things come together. Me knowing that even during the seemingly overwhelmed way,that it was going to come together and customers and employees were going to be happy.AND IT DID.
So when it slowed down i looked across at the manager and the employees and said " if you want to be successful,this is the way you must do it" End of my dream.
What happened next, was that i woke up, feeling i had a sense of worth again. I was thing and it made me sad,that i never ever had a successful marriage. My partners never wanted to hear what i was saying about anything. I listened to them,went way far out of my way to encourage them in their jobs ,and later their spiritual lives.
I found myself sometimes with little money, and sometimes with more money. In both cases i gave it my all. Doing house work (constantly) watching for their needs of their work,so i could pitch in where needed, and i did. But i found an issue i never thought about.
Once the girl i married (later) had a room mate that was gay.(Female) I had a nice but small place to live for about 10 yrs,but we decided i would give up my place,and move in hers.(She rented as well).
I set out to clean ,paint,scrubb mildew rearrange furniture etc. I made it look like a doll house.I set up an extra room as a place to study my bible,pay bills etc. The Gay renter lived in the back and shared the kitchen, and laundry room. I told her to feel welcome and she could use the entire house if she wished.I am very much against
gay living. To me as well as to the LORD, its an abomination. Yet i treated her graciously regardless,staying away from her when she discussed relationships with her female partner.and i promise you it sounded like a normal relationship between a man and a woman.
So what does this have to do with my dream of feeling some worth here on this earth. Well here we go. To shorten it some what, one night she came from her room, drunk and loud. She jumped on my wife about something,and i tried to calm it down by changing the conversation.It did not work. I was listening to Donald Trump on the news.(Before he was President.) Oh my.....she then jumped me, called me a bible thumper among other things,jumped me for cleaning her room washing her clothes( they were holding up our cleaning our clothes.) I never complained. I bought her a new bedspread and curtains for her room. She cursed me out for that.
She then revealed some things my wife had been saying about me,while my wife just stood there not opening her mouth. Okay here it really is. Apparently people do not want or like me to help.
They keep it in waiting for an opportunity to attack me. WOW.
This is once again has caused the breakup of a marriage. A just walk away break up. Not caring about the commitments we have made together and leaving me holding the bag. Going out saying things to others i never knew were felt. I am not rich with money,so i can't buy my way thru life. I have to bust a gut Physically to make up for it. I have learned that people do not like me to do that. To clean for them,cook for them,cut their grass for them, bragg on them for their success in their business. Ain't it strange that my relationship now is said to be incompatible. (I didn't say it)
So i have no other choice or say so in the matter. She walked away without a word while i was at a church function she was suppose to be involved with.She is talking to everyone in the world but me.
Is this my dirty laundry? What wrong cupcakes,you can't handle it?
Everyone already knows you dirty secrets,your just to cowardly to share it? lol.
I have a strong feeling that the Lord is going to see me through this situation i did not desire.If people do not want to love and respect you while you try to struggle to be on their side, Then we just have to learn and move on. I must be messed up. I'm not a party animal, womanizer, like i used to be,so i am no longer of any value.
Or maybe this dream was given me because the Lord who knows all, knows all!
All my hard work, my being protective, My mental and spiritual sharing, is not in demand anymore. So i will stop trying,give it to the one who knows it all. I love him with all my heart, i trust Him even if it's difficult. You do that as well,if you truly find yourself in this kind of situation.
Notes for all the ones that know me better than i know me,some are distant family that are suppose to be close to me but over the years chose to stay away from this crazy guy.lol.
Thanks after i bust my behind trying to do good,for reminding how blessed i am.(speaking to me as though i did not deserve to have great kids but i do.) Or a good marriage.)
Listen up.....i have learned that no matter how hard you try, sometimes love just ain't good enough. Some will never give you any credit.
By the way.....i write these things to show people that they are not alone with their problems,their broken hearts etc. I have my share and just don't share it. So i shared just a little. Down the road the Lord Jesus Christ will get the glory for my life. It's truly about him.
God bless you all, protect you, and truly love you by not holding your past against you. I love you guys.
Until later.
Of course she said yes. I then said"watch me and all of you do what i tell you when i tell you.So i got busy because they were overrun with customers coming in and out of the lobby. i moved just like i did in the day, lol.

Good evening.
The word of God,Matthew chapter 5:verses 13 thru 16.
You cannot hide your candle under a rock.
You must let it shine before men. Yes those that may scoff you,yet you must keep that candle lit and shining. We are the light of the world. We are a city that is set on a hill,and it cannot be hid.Troubles come but there is no turning back. If you do you are not worthy of the Lord.What am i talking about? Right now i am under attack by Satan's demons because i made a choice to follow Christ and i have declared to all who will hear that i am following Jesus. I teach Sunday School and have been in a relationship not started by including what the Lord wished for my life. I have been secretly dealing with it from time to time in my soul. Knowing that i may have to be alone some day. It is here now. I have declared to the Lord many times in the past months that i wanted to love Him more than anyone or anything. I have thought about quitting,seriously quitting. Give this teaching to someone else. Then this answer from heaven is "You are the salt of the earth." "Ye are the light of the world". So i will continue on.Trusting God.Verse 3 chapter 5
Blessed are the poor in Spirit: for their's is the Kingdom of heaven"
Until later, i love you all. Pray for me.

A TOUGH YEAR.
Good early morning. Sorry to not have written a blog in a while.
But iv'e been extremely busy starting a new Sunday School,helping take care of old and new church business. Something of which i am not use to doing. Only the Sunday school part has my heart. As i wonder through the issues of church business i learn many lessons. Number one is that i do not like it. Yet someone has to do it. I think from now on i will place a time limit on my involvement of it all. Why? Well try this.....Its much like being a pastor regardless of your desires. Small churches over the past 40 some odd years had been unable to work out the differences they experience. Sadly i find such things as hard headedness, pride,ignorance, hatefulness,competition,to be rampant in so many cases. All of this is practiced by Pastors, poor teachers, people involved in music, in church functions etc. I've seen neglect of church property, bad doctrine,including dropping Sunday School members not willing to commit to anything except their own interest.
Now,all of these things are warned about in scripture. They just simply must be dealt with. How? Start with loving one another just like the Scripture teaches. Not just in lip service. Then move over to do not be in competition with each other. Then move over to do unto others as you would have them do unto you. Remember this important fact. You cannot control others treatment of you but you can control your treatment of them. Oh my goodness,i recall a comment a dear friend made to me while we were in business together years ago. He said the world would be a great place to live if it were not for people. I'm not so sure. People make up our lives. We must remember God Himself created us all. Therefore He loves us all. Especially those of the Faith. Those that place their trust in and rely on Jesus Christ as their redeemer.When things seem to overload....take it to Jesus. Read His word to you. The Holy Bible.
Then speak with Him....its called Prayer. He will hear your troubles,and like the song says...He will answer bye and bye. If your not a believer, one of the elect, then by all means you must repent of sin and be born again.This is urgent. You are leaving this world one day,one way or the other. Give Christ your life now. Pay no attention to bickerings in churches. Unless you are involved. Then get uninvolved. Battlelings in church are not worth the pain it inflicts. Respond to God's call on your life,and let no man hinder it. Do not boast, or be arrogant. But stand firm, and be protected by tghe mighty right hand of Jesus. I am in such a situation as that right now. I feel i want to Quit. I feel like these folks are not worthy of my hard work and dedication. But guess what, God says He died for them and rose again for them, and He will decide what to do with me. Jonah did not feel the people of Nineva were worth saving. But God did. Yes it took a miracle to get that Job done, but the lesson for us is before we just Quit....Take it to the Lord. I'd like to ring some of these professing Christians neck, but i cannot. Tell ya what i will do.
Lord i have had enough. This all is your battle, not mine. I never created the world or universe,or people or even myself. You did. I know i am on a close enough footing with you, that i can come boldly to the throne of grace and ask for your help. You handle it.Anyone else out there feeling the same way, help them Lord.
God bless and goodnight.
