Love, knowledge, talking,reasoning.

 Morning. Our knowledge is fragmentary. So is our teaching. Love never fails. Our prophecy will be fulfilled and pass away. As for speaking in tongues,they will be destroyed and pass away. Knowledge will lose its value and be superseded by truth. But when the complete and perfect (total) comes, the incomplete and perfect will vanish away. It will be antiquated, void, and superceded. 1st Corinthians chapter 13 vss 8-10.

Then let's look at verse 11. This is a verse that was quoted to me often, as I became a young adult. Here it is. When I was a child; I reasoned like I was a child; now that I have become a man, I am done with childish ways and have put them aside. Remember....when we see Jesus, our imperfect will put on perfection. Also let me remind you. All are God's creation, but a few are His children. Amen.

All the while.

 My prayer today, is please come quickly Lord Jesus. Once Jesus performed a miracle, then slipped into the crowd unnoticed, and the healed man didn't even notice who He was. All the while evil doing Jesus haters searched for the healer. What had been accomplished was done on the Sabbath. Later Jesus found the healed man in the temple. Christ said "see you are well". Now Jesus said "Stop sinning or something worse may happen to you". At this point the man told the Jews looking to kill Jesus, that it was in fact Christ that had healed him. Theses Jews began to torment and annoy Jesus. Jesus told these men that the Father has not ceased to work, and He (Jesus) continue to do divine work. This is all found in the book of St. John chapter 5. This is a wonderful testimony, the entire 5th chapter, of healing, evil doers who hate Jesus, and Christ relationship with the Heavenly Father.Wow!

People, this is just one example of what awaits us after we pass from death unto life. How can anyone prefer the Sin that separates from The Father and Son and Holy Ghost? If all who have perished could speak to you now, they would resoundingly tell you don't waste another second. Come to Christ wholeheartedly holding nothing back right now. No need for me to say too much, because the power of God does not rest in my words. But in his Son Jesus. The most important things we can accomplish while walking on this planet will fade in the sight of eternity. Read the entire chapter 5 of The book of John. Read about the angel of the Lord going down at appointed seasons into the pool and stirred the water. The first to step in was cured of whatever disease with which he was afflicted. Follow Christ, give him your life, He will stir the waters of your life. Amen So be it.

Personal Repentance.

 The minor Prophets book ZECHARIAH chapter12: vss  10 . This is what true repentance looks like. And I will pour out upon the House of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem the spirit of Grace and of supplications and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced and shall mourn for him as one morning for his only son. I will stop right there until you did if the holy Spirit speaks to your heart about your sin your response would be as if you mourned after your own son your only son or your only child if they passed away or were harmed in any way. Wow if you read through verse 14 you will see how widespread the prediction all of remorse by Israel. Now the scripture specifically mentions Jerusalem here this is a future prophetic prediction and this would be the Lord speaking through Zechariah.The book of Zechariah speaks of both the coming of the Messiah, the first time and the second time. The ministry of Zachariah overlapped haggai, they both had a ministry of encouragement. You might say well you mentioned remorse and repentance. I did, but looking back on my own salvation many years ago and watching others that the holy Spirit has touched and led them to Christ, it's impossible not to know met along with this remorse for what my sin caused my God to have to go through in order to redeem me, also I noticed that after my remorse and I receive my salvation, much joy comes, and that my friend is what the entire New testament teaches about the Christian Life even though there comes much persecution. The connection is very powerful. First comes Grace then mercy all of this after repentance. And I will say again God does not play there's no halfway, it's all the way, which is what true repentance does to us and for us. Although I continued to have much pain, whether it be physical or spiritual, there is a comfort unlike any thing I have ever experienced and ever do experience. This is encouragement on like anything man can do. I know people personally that are constantly battling emotional issues. And because they do not have the piece of the love of God the love of Christ in their hearts, they cannot seem to ever be satisfied. I as a Christian still have to battle after the other exactly like someone who rejects Christ. But the difference is that the Holy Spirit puts into the soul of a man who follows Christ, a level of encouragement extremely hard to explain. You can go to the first few books, excuse me, the first few chapters of the book of Acts and when you get to the part, I believe it's chapter 4 of Acts and you read about Stephen a devout man of God, where he was jailed for preaching the gospel. Falsely accused of saying things that he did not say. But read his response when he was called before the Sanhedrin. And of course they stoned him, and notice what happened during his stoning and who all was there. What I mentioned in Zachariah and of course in the book of haggai, the predictions of the first and second coming of the Messiah Jesus Christ. And some of the things that would occur surrounding those events. God will judge, should I say his only begotten son Jesus Christ has been given the power and authority to be our judge  God bless you, and go all the way with Jesus understanding who God is. I'm afraid in our cultures today we've turned Jesus into something he is not. Until next time amen.So be it.

History ALWAYS repeats itself?

 In some cases for sure it does. In biblical Israel it did and still does. The same patterns. When confronted with God's message so many people do not understand.They refuse to live as God?'s message request. When God sent or sends a messenger, people refuse to listen. Human nature so many declare exist.... rebellious, ungrateful, foolish. God Remains the Same. The God who spoke to Moses was the same God who had spoken to his ancestors. This God hears when people are troubled he comes to deliver he leads his people from Death To Life he surrenders to their own desires those who willfully reject him. Such as our great God he is merciful powerful and holy he is always the same whatever happens. When Steven in the book of Acts was preaching to his accusers these words are a warning not to trifle with God. It's also an assurance that every promise of God stands firm forever .. footnote: some of the words written here are taken from a commentary. The words were reflecting the issues that The Devout man named Stephen  were used to defend the gospel to his accusers. Amen..

Issues to pray about.

 Does anyone actually care. 

Marriages and if your in one (traditional) you must be loyal,faithful,and remain trustworthy.

The pain you all are in.People who are homeless.Our nation and our local state and federal governments. Our children grand and great grand children. Jobs for all that need them or desire them.Pray for forgiveness because so many are angered, and hurt each other. Pray we love our neighbors as ourselves...even if our neighbors are crazy. You pray to God the only God..in the name of Jesus. Amen.

Stephens last sermon.

After he was seized, he was full of the  holy Ghost. He stood before the high priest, and being full of the Holy Ghost, was asked were the things he was accused of  true. Man what a message the Holy Ghost gave him. ACTS CHAPTER 7. The Holy Ghost explained how the  Jews had refused all the prophets and the message. How they had murdered the prophets.  How when the Son of God came the did not accept him, and murdered Him as well. The short of this is that in today's world, Born from above people are being slaughtered as well. In America we are being targeted more than ever before. Speak out against sin and corruption and watch the evil come against you. But we must. Do not fear,do not be ashamed of the gospel of Christ our redeemer. Christ is not one of a number of Gods, or prophets,  He is not one of many ways to heaven, He is the only begotten son of God, and the ONLY way to heaven. Amen.

Falsely accused???

Honestly? Have you ever been falsely accused of anything of consequence? Of anything that would cause you to lose something you deserved or needed, or wanted. I have. I once had to file bankruptcy at a time when my wife was pregnant because of it. Not a shred of Truth to any of it.I will have to say...some of my accusers lost their lives, were eventually fired, even contacted me to help them fight the very people they teamed up with , against me. These people ranged from a friend of mine, his wife, supervisors, HR VP....all the way to the top. It took 8 years, then I was Vindicated. From the least to the greatest they all tumbled the same way they treated me. What's this all have to do with the words given Holy Spirit inspiration in the Bible?

I just told this brief story to give you some kind of idea as to an answer to my initial question. The intriguing story in the book of Acts chapter 6. The arrest of Stephen was because some of the men accusers could argue with him because he was full of the power of God and His favor. So what did they do? Since. Stephen was filled with he Holy Spirit, some men were bribed to lie about him.They were saying he spoke things he did not say, or things he did not mean.They took him by force to stand in front of the Jewish council. Before Stephen was allowed to speak..Everyone who sat in the council saw Stephen's face looked like that of an angel. I'm sure it was because of him being filled with the Holy Ghost. To end this short theme let me say, we must all be prayed up, repentant, so we can be filled with the Holy Ghost.So when we are delivered up...if we are...we 2 can speak with power and the unction of God's words to mankind. Speaking and obeying Gods law.Forgiveness and obedience will follow. Nothing on this earth is more important the glorification of God. Thru the death burial and resurrection of Christ I have the forgiveness of all my sins. If you are truly born from above, you will be led by God's Spirit straight to him and His gospel. Good night..i hope because you may wake up in eternity. Cry out to God in remorse so u will be certain of your place in the kingdom of heaven. Not hell.

When death occurs, false accusations will not matter.Gods speed my brothers and sisters, the rest.....REPENT so ur sins will be blotted out.My prayer: I will gladly suffer dishonor, for speaking up ABOUT you.

I will continue to tell the truth about the Gospel...your my Messiah. In Jesus name Amen.
