BEING BORN AGAIN.
Good morning. I want to write about Jesus and his own words. The book of st.John chapter 6 starting with verse 53. Then Jesus said unto them,VERILY ,VERILY,I SAY UNTO YOU ,EXCEPT YE EAT THE FLESH OF THE SON OF MAN,AND DRINK HIS BLOOD,YE SHALL HAVE NO LIFE IN YOU. WHOSO EATETH MY FLESH,AND DRINKETH MY BLOOD,DWELLETH IN ME,AND I IN HIM.
AS THE LIVING FATHER HATH SENT ME,AND I LIVE BY THE FATHER:SO HE THAT EATETH ME,EVEN HE SHALL LIVE BY ME. THIS IS THE BREAD WHICH CAME DOWN FROM HEAVEN:NOT AS YOUR FATHERS DID EAT MANNA,AND ARE DEAD:HE THAT EATETH OF THIS BREAD SHALL LIVE FOR EVER.
These things said he in the synagogue,as he taught in Capernaum. This was from from verses 53 thru 59.
Notice in the following verses 60 thru 66. The disciples commented that these were harsh words. Jesus being God already knew their thoughts. They were murmuring and Jesus knew they were offended.He made it clear that what he was talking about was Spirit. Then he made it clear no man can come to him unless the Father(Heavenly)sent them to him. No man can come unto me ,except it were given unto him of my Father ...Jesus said.
Notice that from that time some followers went back and walked no more with Jesus.This all sounds very familar because some do this today. I know most preachers and or teachers today,do not wish to say that Christ offended some people. That Christ words still offend some people. As a matter of fact many people reject Christ. At least the real Christ that teaches repentance,accountability.If you go to a church that does not preach repentance and accountability then ask God to find you a real church family to worship with.These scriptures teach us that Christ was sent from Heaven,shed his blood and redeemed our spirits back to God from whence they came.They teach us that there is no other way to Heaven except him.Listen up.....Christians are under attack today in America but we must remember that we are saved by an incorruptible seed.We were as sheep going astray;but are now returned unto the Sheperd and Bishop of our souls.1st Peter chapter 2 verse 25.

INCORRUPTABLE SEED? YOU BETCHA.
Being born again,not of corruptable seed,but of incorruptable,by the word of God,which liveth and abideth for ever.For all flesh is as grass,and all glory of man as the flower of grass.The grass withereth ,and the flower thereof falleth away:But the word of the Lord endureth for ever.And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you.
Oh how encouraged we should be,to see that though we will pass from this life,we will be saved by the promise of God thru JESUS CHRIST.His word his promise lives for ever.And when you repent and turn your soul,your life over to Christ,then you and i both will live with him in his glory.Oh he's not corrupt,neither is his word.Believe it ,accept it,trust it......and live forever with Christ.Oh i am so happy in my soul that i trust his word that was preached to me 50 years ago,and is the same yesterday, today ,and for evermore!
PRAY FOR ME AS WELL.
Something short but not judgmental.
Yet very important. In the book of 1st Peter chapter 3 verses 1 and 2.
This is something that in america we do not put enough emphasis on. But yet in other countries its over board in its treatment of women.
Wives ,be in subjection to your husbands,and if any obey not the word(the husbands pertaining to the Holy Scriptures,the Bible,they will by hearing your pure moral conversation,be won over.This is above all the proper way to make yourselves of very much value. Like fine jewels.My goodness how many men ,even ruff unsaved men look at their wives and say wow,"i am a brute and she is so precious far above Rubies"
I will not pretend to tell women what to do that are abused.Except leave that situation with little bitterness and hate.Pray for this man and mean it. God will protect you and hear your cry.I know its very difficult not to air the dirty laundry,but according to this scripture,that is not the way to win him.I personally know the pain,the rejection and the agony of separation from a spouse and how not to deal with it.I pray for myself and all that experience divorce or abuse in their marriages. Outside of Jesus in our lives,we cannot handle such matters correctly. I salute all who are hurting male and female in relationships. I know perfection is what we would seek,but it will not come in this body of flesh.I pray for all the kids that have to hear the pain. I have been on both sides,and i cannot handle it correctly if i let my emotions,regardless of who is at fault
rule the day. I pray for each and everyone going thru this,those who have bad memories,and you pray for me as well. God bless you and God guide us all.
PEACE BE UNTO YOU ALL THAT ARE IN CHRIST JESUS.
1st Peter chapter 5.
#1. Feed the flock which is among you.Taking the oversight thereof,not by constraint,but willingly;not for filthy lucre,but of ready mind;
#2. neither being lords over God's heritage,but being ensamples to the flock.
#3.When the chief shepherd shall appear,ye shall receive a crown of glory that fadeth
not away.
#4.Younger people submit yourself unto the elder. All of you be subject one unto another,and be humble:
#5. God resisteth the proud,and giveth grace to the humble.
#6.Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God,that he may exalt thee in due time.
#7. Cast all your care upon him;for he careth for you.
This morning whatever you have on your heart,whatever issues, troubles, whatever there is that is eating away at you. Cast it ON Jesus and he will help because he cares.
I pray for you this morning. Some having medical issues,some marriage issues,some having money issues,housing issues.People for sure these days are more about themselves. Selfish. Pray about anyone you know who is like that. Watch and believe God will deliver them.Stay prayed up,never give up on Christ,the heavenly Father and Holy Spirit.This is what the Apostle Paul means by fighting the good fight.
Verse 8 of the 5th chapter is very important as well. Be sober ,be vigilant; because your adversary the devil ,as a roaring lion ,walketh about seeking whom he may devour:
Do not allow this devil to win in your life. You cannot do this alone.God the Heavenly Father with overwhelming grace is waiting for our pleas.
This chapter tells us to love one another and bear each others burdens.Lets do it,and watch our almighty GOD work. And just think.......oh how he loves us.
Verse 11......To him be the glory and dominion for ever and ever.AMEN.

OH WHAT A NATION,OH WHAT A GOD.
Good morning from America,and greetings from our our Lord Jesus Christ who knew no sin,yet layed down his life to redeem us.Last night i listened to a message via video of Dr. Billy Graham from back around 1998.His humility struck me,his inherent belief in Christ redemption power and his acknowledgement of his own mortality.A couple things he mentioned struck me even more as i awakened early this morning.He spoke of a couple super intelligent men who before their life was over,received Christ as their redeemer.I believe they both were mathematical wizards.I believe at least one of these guys was atheist.Anyway.....in todays world it reminded me of a college student who told me how science and math were his god.
Oh well,it is his decision to make,but its awesome to hear that men way before him,regardless of science and math,came to know the person of Jesus Christ,after being shown by the Holy Spirit that they were sinners lost.Dr Graham was speaking to an organization that prides its self in research and finding cures.Grahams speech was about how man has never cured sin,death,or evil.But yet Christ is the cure and men reject him.These 2 men realized they had discovered the cure.Jesus Christ,the son of God.Oh how my heart shutters and stirs within me,when i hear of poor men,rich men,unlearned men as well as educated men coming to Christ.Two types of men such as this,The apostle Paul,and of course The apostle Peter.One very educated and religious,and the other a very ruff and tuff fishermen.Peter of course not easy to persuade.More on this in the next blog.This morning,i thank my Lord Jesus for my nation.A nation of Bible believing Christians,loving one another,edifying one another and teaching and preaching Jesus.This my friends is what makes America Great.I thank God for
the internet this morning.Where we can do library research,and share our thoughts together.And i thank those that stand in pulpits,and preach Jesus,and sunday school teachers that teach Jesus.
Anyone who reads this can experience Christ in their souls.The world has nothing like this.GOD be with all of you today.Don't waste this day.We never know it could be our last.

WHEN HE PLEADS.
Good morning everyone. This morning i want to mention how the Lord regardless of our sinful nature,pleads with us. In the following case Israel was ignoring all that the Lord had done good for them and going their own way.
God gets upset with them according to the book of Jeremiah chapter 2 verses 9-13.
" Wherefore yet i will yet plead with you,saith the Lord,and with your childrens children will i plead"In verse 11 he gets smart with them.Hath a nation changed their gods ,which are no gods? but my people have changed their glory for that which does not profit"
The Lord then told the heavens about them. He said Be ye astonished ,o ye heavens,at this ,and be horribly afraid,be ye very desolate,saith the Lord.For my people have committed two evils;they have forsaken me the fountain of living waters ,and hewed them out cisterns,broken cisterns,that can hold no water.
So lets not leave God out of our lives. Read that Holy Bible and pray Gods Holy Spirit shows you how to live your life,teaches you his word.By the way the man here Jeremiah,God spoke to him and gave him imformation that we all need to know.Before we were formed in our mothers belly,God knew us.Don't say you can't because God says you can. The Lord says that you will go to all he sends thee,and whatsoever he commands you to say you will say.Then he says do not fear their faces because he (The Lord) is with you.Then the Lord put his hand on the mouth of Jeremiah,and told him now i have put my words(the Lords) in your mouth.Then just as in the 10th verse you will see exactly Gods purpose for you.
The latter verses were from Jeremiah chapter 1 verses 4-10.
Trust the Lord,but you have to speak with him when he calls.When he pleads!

Times in America.......that try a mans soul.
Good evening,this is saturday evening in America.
College football is king,tommorrow pro-football is king here in America.Fyi: in my short 62 years,i have seen many changes in society here in the states.I'VE never seen it this way before,and from
my studies of AMERICAN HISTORY,I am postive it has never been this bad before.There were pockets of the later to name issues,but now thru the propaganda of the television,liberal,Godless dogma is taking over the mindset of American life.
No regard to God our creator,making up our own ideas of how we think he thinks.Ignoring the pure word of God (The Bible) and believe me thats just the tip of the ice-berg!Americans care more about
Entertainment today than learning about the Savour.
Ive never seen so much hate for Christ but whats worse,the attacks on Christians.According to scripture it is to be expected.But none the less it has not been the norm until very recently.Judgements from God are sure to be coming if our nation and its leaders do not repent.How arrogant does a person need to be,to gamble with their soul and then spew hate about a God he or she does not believe exist?Why spend most of their lives trying to prove God is not real? Then speak evil of the Lord?The homosexual movement does the same thing and in some cases denies the words of God forbidding them to practice their abominable sex acts.They have actually started homosexual churches.Wow!Can you believe that evil? We have leaders in America condoning Isalm which is evil,and murderous.Our President is one,some presidential candidates,as well as congressional members.They have turned their backs on Gods chosen,Israel.Racial divide,hatred for White people
unwarranted.Disrespect for law and order.Godless laws being passed.Redifining marriage by our supreme court.From my observations,i will have to say it starts in our homes and in each of our hearts.We love pleasure more than God!Is America going to have to literally collapse before the heady and high minded humble themselves? And cry out to God to heal our land?2nd Timothy chapter 3 says all this.It describes millions.It describes Todays America to the tee!Perilous times will come vs.1
LOVERS OF THEIR OWN SELVES,COVETOUS,BOASTERS,PROUD,BLASPHEMERS,DISOBEDIENT TONPARENTS,UNTHANKFUL,UNHOLY.Do you see any
Of that in your family?I bet you do.I do.
Vs.3 Without natural affection,truce breakers,false accusers,incontient,fierce,despisers of those that are good.Traitors,heady ,high minded,lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God.Vs 5 is for our church goers.Having a form of godliness,but denying the power thereof:And then the Bible says from such turn away.Wow!Are you licking boots today?
Do you realize some of your worst enemies are those of your own household.Think on this.If you haven't offended someone preaching Jesus,then your probably not in Gods will.Yes i said it.I did not say to offend people just because you can,i am saying if you preach Christ,against sin,you will offend some of the above mentioned people. EXPECT IT.
Verse 7 says ever learning ,and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.Vs. 8 tells of men who resist the truth,men of corrupt minds,reprobate concerning the faith.But their folly shall be made manifest unto all men.vs.9.I could go on and on,but i want for the sake of time. I wish to finish this way......."These are times that try a mans soul.
