Minds that are darkened.

It is time once again to worship celebrate the birth a Jesus Christ. The Gospels teach a very powerful message about Elizabeth the mother of John the Baptist, and Mary the mother of Christ. I should say the Christ. How afraid the Shepherds were when the angel of the Lord came and appeared unto them, the story of all the host of angels in heaven praising God at the birth of the Savior. Yet this is not but just a stopping off point for me, because my main topic was about the noetic affect of sin on human life. Adam and Eve's sin darkened the spirit of Adam and Eve, and from then on every human being born. The Apostle Paul made a statement concerning the minds of pagan people. That is to say those who do not follow Christ those who he is not their lord. He said since they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, he gave them over to a depraved mind otherwise known as a reprobate mind. In order to do what ought not be done oh, you can read that in the Book of Romans the first chapter and the 28th verse Paul told the Corinthians in 2nd Corinthians 4:4 that the God of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so that they cannot see the light of the Gospel all of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God. My goodness are you spiritually blind tonight? Are you living a life bragging about it. Homosexuality adultery fornication, being a thief thinking it's alright to steal ,that the person the company you work for or whoever has plenty of money and O's you. Paul said in 2nd Corinthians that the God of this age oh, he's speaking of Satan, has blinded your eyes. Do you want your eyes to be blind do you want to walk through life even entertaining the thought that the way your thinking is so against the way of God, that it's got you spiritually blind and dead. I know God is all-knowing, I know that he knew from the beginning of time and ordained it as to who would be called who he would seek after and who would hear and accept him and follow him and make him their lord. But I cannot take the chance because I'm not all-knowing, and assume that your a follower a Christ. Think of this, Satan himself and his fallen angels all are very knowledgeable of the scripture and they actually know Jesus Christ my Lord. Yet so many millions reject Him. Those that are blinded by Satan..the god of this world, cannot see the light of the gospel of the glory of God. Oh I pray for all of those. The almighty Lord knows who you are. I pray it is not too late for you, this is an urgent matter that cannot be delayed not another day not another year or month or even another second. Get on your knees Wherever You Are in private, and beg God for forgiveness please. For those that reject the gospel of Christ it's going to be a horrible horrible end. The Lord knows what you are in need of, this is not to glorify any of us but for the glory of the Almighty. The Lord is the Potter I Am The Clay, I don't care how healthy he has made me in my life or how wealthy, it all came from him everything good that ever occurred that has come to pass in life has come from above. I love you all may God forgive you and be with you forever and you with him.Amen.

What it takes.

 Many in American culture, and from what I have observed of other nations or culture, seem to have invented there own means of salvation. I'm speaking of course to the subject that concerns our souls. Unfortunately many wish to bypass Jesus Christ. Many refute what the Bible says and or hate to even hear that term mentioned. The Bible alone has the message of salvation. In view I've God's General revelation, all men are without excuse you can see that in Romans 1:20 for all who sin apart from the written law will also perish apart from the law Romans chapter 2 verse 12 General Revelation is sufficient ground for men's condemnation, however, it is not sufficient for salvation. One can tell how the heavens go by studying General revelation, but he cannot discover from it how to go to heaven, quote there is no other name under Heaven except Christ name given to men by which we must be saved Acts 4:12 in order to be saved people must confess Jesus is Lord and believe in their hearts that God has raised him from the dead Romans 10:9 but they cannot call upon someone of whom they have not heard and how can they hear without someone preaching to them Romans 10:14 does preaching the gospel and all the world is the Christians Great Commission you can find that in Matthew chapter 28 verses 18 through 20. So let me add, this is indeed what the word of God, the Bible, says. Please take this short message to Heart. If you rejected you reject Christ. If you reject Christ the outcome is severe. When we die one of two places we go. Either Heaven or Hell. I love you all goodnight sweet dreams and Godspeed.

Only Once.

What a reassurance of belonging. for those that insist on faith plus something else read Hebrews chapter 10 which explains Christ suffered and died once for our iniquities. Roman Catholicism insist on works with your faith. So do the followers of the charismatic movement. Please do not get entangled with any of these.God bless you and g

oodnight.

Appropriate Retribution

How shall we escape if we neglect and refused to pay attention to such a great salvation.As is now offered to us, letting it drift past us forever? For it was declared at first by the Lord Himself, and it was confirmed to us and proved to be real and genuine by those who personally heard Him speak..,.Chapter 2 verse 3 of the book of Hebrews. Look at verse 4.... Besides this evidence, it was also established and plainly endorsed by God. Who showed his approval of it by signs and wonders and various miraculous manifestations of His power and by imparting the gifts of the Holy Spirit to the believers according to His own will. Listen up folks, there is no doubt in my mind that regardless of what goes on in this world in any Nation at any time in history this same Jesus that was seen and heard to preach his gospel he is great news of shedding his blood and dying and being resurrected also is in control of all the activities of mankind. Jesus knows the end because he is the alpha and the Omega the beginning and the end. Place your trust today while there is time, in him. Place your thoughts and actions hopes and dreams and every breath You take into his hands. Probably since birth you have heard of the name Jesus yet mini neglect, and reject and plain out refuse to follow Him. Appropriate retribution is what we deserve so even if you trust completely in Jesus Christ do not neglect the salvation he has given freely to you, but at the cost of His blood. Amen.

My deepest desire.

Psalm 27:4......One thing have I desired of the Lord, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, too old the beauty of the Lord, in this will I be confident. Oh yes this is what I would wish to be remembered by.o

Get ready.

Please seek God ,the only true living God,before it's to late. Jesus said he that is of God heareth God's words: ye hear them not, because ye are not of God. You must be born from above. Jesus came to this earth to do the will of his Father. He did exactly what his father demanded. Jesus did this to redeem us to the one and only true God. Who is Jesus? He is the fleshly manifestation of God himself. After his crucifixion and burial he was resurrected to be with the Father in heaven. Please read the 8th chapter of the book of John. Christ is coming back again, before he does he's going to rapture his church. You don't want to be left behind. I love my Lord and His words. Remember this, all scripture is given by the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. No one is saved unless they are drawn by the spirit to the Father. I am still the sinner, yet the Holy Spirit continues to point me to Christ, whom I love. Amen.

Take care.

Take care for what your saying. Take care and be careful who you are talking to.

Tonight I got an unexpected text or instant message I should say, from a truck driver who apparently was looking at some of my post about Christ. He used a four-letter word and he really let me have it. He told me to F...k myself and the Jesus that I serve. He also later said to have oral sex with Jesus. A few years back a young lady did this same thing. After four hours with her I never heard from her again but she did compliment me without knowing. At the end of our time together she asked me a question. She wanted to know why was I so passionate about Jesus. And let me tell you I let her know. So tonight I want to read from the book of Romans chapter 1 beginning with verse 18. These words AR for that young lady and this young man that talked so ugly about godliness. Here it is and I quote starting with verse 18 for the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness an unrighteousness, of men. Who hold the truth in unrighteousness. As the famous Charles spurgeon once said sinful people do not let the truth work in their hearts. They do not allow it to operate in their minds; instead, they try to make it an excuse for their sins. some people attend church for years and the truth has pricked them, troubled them, made them lie awake at night; but they hold it down, when we are afraid all the truth we would do well to be afraid of hell also. Spurgeon farther said when we and the truth quarrel , we had better and are fighting soon, for we will have the worst of it if we do not yield. Now strange as it may seem these words of spurgeon were exactly what I said to this trucker this afternoon. I told him I was going to pray that the Holy Spirit Will jerk a chain in him. Rattle his cage. He almost beggingly asked me not to pray for him. He told me he knew the Bible better than me, I told him so did his father the devil.I was not trying to insult the man I was trying to rattle his cage so he would understand that Christians are not afraid. He asked me why were Christians so afraid of dying. I found that a strange question for I am not afraid of dying and I don't know any Christian that is. You guys pray for this man before something happens and it's too late. I explained to him how brief life can be and that he need not wait till it was too late. I asked him did his mama and daddy no he was like that and he said they were worse than he is. So I was brief and to the point and I told him that you and your parents will burn in eternity in a devil's hell with Satan for eternity.then I reiterated that I was going to pray for him and his parents for their salvation. You guys pray for him too. He's driving big trucks up and down our highways. He appears to be disturbed. I know how it is I drove for many years over the road. But remember and I will stress it again in verse 20 of the first chapter of Romans for the invisible things of him speaking of the Lord from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and godhead so that they are without excuse. The heavenly father has made creation and all 66 books of the Holy Bible To be all we need so we can be redeemed by the blood of Christ. I told this young man this evening that I was washed in the blood made righteous by my faith in Christ. Sometimes we just have to be blunt tell it like it is and start praying for these people. There could be people I know in my family, people I have worked for who are decent people, people I worked with, but yet they do not take the gospel of Christ into their heart and lives seriously. It is not my job to save people it is my job to warn people of the impending judgment that is coming their way. If you are my brothers in Christ sisters as well pray for these people for me please before it's too late for them. Godspeed to my brothers and sisters and if you're lost May the holy spirit of God get a hold of your cage and rattle it. Amen
