How Big Is Your Church?

We are not trying to get a big Church going. We just want to reach people who are hungry for the truth. Like Jesus said: “For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.”(Matthew 18:20). My son James shared these verses we with me yesterday, I think because he discerned that I was discouraged about how things weren’t going for the Church. In other words, if you have two or three people gathered in His Name you have a Church. It may be discouraging if don’t have a big Church, all though he and Maria have been the most faithful to show up and help out and not just on Sunday either. We are looking for quality not quantity, People who want the truth. Like Peter said: to Jesus when many of his followers left him, because what Jesus said was too hard for them to bear, “It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life. But there are some of you that believe not. For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were that believed not, and who should betray him.  And he said, Therefore said I unto you, that no man can come unto me, except it were given unto him of my Father. From that time many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him. Then said Jesus unto the twelve, Will ye also go away? Then Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life. And we believe and are sure that thou art that Christ, the Son of the living of the God.”(John 6:63-69). We need the kind of people that will follow faithfully with you, no matter what comes our way. Your friends don’t need an explanation and your enemies wouldn’t believe you any way!! Caleb is a faithful daily reader of www.answersintheword.com, and so is Brian, and we pray that Brad will be too, and Osbaldo and his wife Laura. In fact we pray that all of our loved ones would read the web site everyday. “My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: and I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father’s hand.”(John 10:27-29) We are looking for people who want truth. People who are not coming into fellowship just because we are the closest to them. We are looking for people who are looking to find a Church fellowship that is closest to Jesus and his Word, not just their location. So there you have it. Which kind of a follower are you? How far would you travel for the truth??

Say this prayer if you want to be saved: Jesus, I want to know you, and to live forever in Heaven, I know I have made mistakes and done bad things- and I am sorry. Please forgive me. I know I don’t deserve it, but I accept your love and I accept you as my Saviour. I believed you died on the cross for my sins and rose from the dead. Please come into my heart and life and fill me with your Holy Spirit and give me peace. Amen

IT’S ALL ABOUT JESUS CHRIST

It’s not about us. Jesus said, “And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me.”(John 12:32). John the Baptist said. “He must increase, but I must decrease.”(John 3:30). Wouldn’t it be nice if everyone could be more like Jesus, then we would have a little bit of Heaven here and now. We need to pray without creasing and listen to him. He will speak back to us. He will show us many wonderful things. After all that’s the way the Lord made us, to love him and have fellowship with him. Do you teach your children to do this? The best thing we can teach our children is how to pray and hear from Jesus. After all he lives in our hearts inside of us. He is always there and will never leave us or forsake us. Everyone is seeking for self-glory and honor and attention. “How can ye believe, which receive honour one of another, and seek not the honour that cometh from God only?”(John 5:44). How about if we just seek to make Jesus happy? ” Seek the Lord and his strength, seek his face continually.”(1 Chronicles 16:11).

We should be the happiest people on the earth, so that people who don’t know Jesus Christ will see us and say, they are so loving and happy, “I want what they have. Well, you can do this. “If ye know these things, happy are ye if ye do them.”(John 13:17).

Say this prayer if you want to be saved, Jesus, I want to know you, and to live forever in Heaven, I know I have made mistakes and done bad things- and I am sorry. Please forgive me. I know I don’t deserve it, but I accept your love and I accept you as my Saviour. I believed you died on the cross for my sins and rose from the dead. Please come into my heart and life and fill me with your Holy Spirit and give me peace.

Signs

Many people are looking for a sign now days. Many will be looking at the Eclipse on April 8,2024 as a sign of they don’t know what. The Rapture, The End Times, etc., etc. Let’s see what Jesus said about signs. “But he answered and said unto them, An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas:  for as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale’s belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.” (Matthew 12:39-40). “And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years:”(Genesis 1:14). “He delivereth and rescueth, and he worketh signs and wonders in heaven and in earth, who hath delivered Daniel from the power of the lions.”(Daniel 6:27). “Behold, I and the children whom the Lord hath given me are for signs and for wonders in Israel from the Lord of hosts, which dwelleth in mount Zion.”(Isaiah 8:18).

Thus, saith the Lord,

Learn not the way of the heathen,
and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven;
for the heathen are dismayed at them.”(Jeremiah 10:2).

“which hast set signs and wonders in the land of Egypt, even unto this day, and in Israel, and among other men; and hast made thee a name, as at this day; and hast brought forth thy people Israel out of the land of Egypt with signs, and with wonders, and with a strong hand, and with a stretched out arm, and with great terror;”(Jeremiah 32:20-21). “I thought it good to shew the signs and wonders that the high God hath wrought toward me. How great are his signs! and how mighty are his wonders! his kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and his dominion is from generation to generation.” (Daniel 4:2-3).” And in the morning, It will be foul weather to day: for the sky is red and lowring. O ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky; but can ye not discern the signs of the times?”(Matthew 16:3).” For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.”(Matthew 24:24). “And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;” (Mark 16:17). “And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen.”(Mark 16:20). “and great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines, and pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven.”(Luke 21:11). “And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring; men’s hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.”(Luke 21:25-26). “Then said Jesus unto him, Except ye see signs and wonders, ye will not believe.”(John 4:48). “And many other signs truly did Jesus in the presence of his disciples, which are not written in this book:”(John 20:30).  “I will shew wonders in heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath; blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke:” (Acts 2:19). ” men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know:”(Acts 2:22). “And fear came upon every soul: and many wonders and signs were done by the apostles.”(Acts 2:43).”by stretching forth thine hand to heal; and that signs and wonders may be done by the name of thy holy child Jesus.”(Acts 4:30). “And by the hands of the apostles were many signs and wonders wrought among the people; (and they were all with one accord in Solomon’s porch.”(Acts 5:12). “Truly the signs of an apostle were wrought among you in all patience, in signs, and wonders, and mighty deeds”(2 Corinthians 12:12). Remember don’t worship the Creation more than the Creator. The devil always tries to copy God and deceives people by his limited signs. We already have the greatest sign fulfilled. The Resurrection of Jesus Christ The Only Begotten Son of God!

Say this prayer if you want to be saved, Jesus, I want to know you, and to live forever in Heaven, I know I have made mistakes and done bad things- and I am sorry. Please forgive me. I know I don’t deserve it, but I accept your love and I accept you as my Saviour. I believed you died on the cross for my sins and rose from the dead. Please come into my heart and life and fill me with your Holy Spirit and give me peace.

HAPPY RESURRECTION DAY !!!

Posted on  by admin

“E’-li E’-li, la’-ma sa-bach’-tha-ni”? (Matthew 27:46). These words mean, “My God, My God, why have you forsaken me?” That is what Jesus cried out to God his Father when he was dying on the cross for your and my sins. He couldn’t understand why God his Father had turned his back on him and had forsaken him. He was so used to having his Father be so close to him all the time, and at this time of all times, God his Father wasn’t there for him. He had to go through it all alone by himself. He did it because he loved his Father and because he loved you! I have heard many preachers say that God turned his back on Jesus because God is perfect and he can not look upon sins, when Jesus took upon him the sins of the whole world. The fact is ,yes God is perfect, but  God looks upon our sins everyday. “The eyes of the Lord are in every place beholding the evil and the good.” (Proverbs 15:3). We all deserve to be in prison and to go to hell, but The Lord had mercy upon us. Jesus could have called 10,000 Angels to destroy the world. I think God turned his back on, Jesus when he was dying on the cross, because it hurt him so much that he couldn’t take the pain of being there and watching what was happening to his Son for you and me. I can’t even imagine such love. Could you give your Son to die for a bunch evil wicked people who hate you, and are doing evil things? That is what God did for you and me. “For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son that whosoever believeth in him should not perish but have ever lasting life.” (John 3:16). What do you think? We should celebrate Easter just as much if not more than Christmas, because Easter stands for the Resurrection of Jesus Christ after he died for our sins which is what he was born into this world for. How about if we say Happy Resurrection Day instead of saying Happy Easter which  comes from the ancient Babylonians who believe a giant egg fell from heaven and  hatched the goddess Astarte (the goddess of fertility) by the Euphrates  river,hence Easter and the eggs.Today is the day that we celebrate the Resurrection of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. This really is the Holiest day of all for all Christian believers to rejoice in and be happy and thankful, even more important than Christmas! Today Jesus conquered death and the grave and through faith in him we can too. Jesus said, I am the resurrection and the life. He that believes in me shall never perish! (John 11:25,26). Today is a good day to have communion and have a fresh start with the Lord, and a clean heart ! Today is a good day for us all to have a resurrection in our own lives and hearts and with each other and in our relationship with Jesus and each other, Amen? So celebrate and have a “Jubilee” today. May God Bless You ! ! !

Say this prayer if you want to be saved: Jesus, I want to know you, and to live forever in Heaven, I know I have made mistakes and done bad things- and I am sorry. Please forgive me. I know I don’t deserve it, but I accept your love and I accept you as my Saviour. I  believed you died on the cross for my sins and rose from the dead. Please come into my heart and life and fill me with your Holy Spirit and give me peace. Amen.

PRAY TO JESUS

Posted on  by admin

I just can’t do the subject justice. When I think about all my life as I was taught to pray to God our Heavenly Father, and sometime at the end of my prayer I would throw in Jesus Name. I think the Lord had mercy on me because I would at least say In Jesus Name at the end of my Prayers most of the time. The churches for the most part have had a lot of things wrong for so long that it is pitiful. I just recently had received this revelation from the Lord, and it has really changed my life, and way of praying and thinking and I have gotten a lot closer to Jesus by his love and grace and mercy. How can you go wrong praying to Jesus? After all Jesus himself said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” (John 14:6) “I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.” (John 10:9) “Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession. For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.” (Hebrews 4:14-16) These are Gods conditions the way he wants our prayers to be. I hear so many Preachers say “Father God” and then go on with their prayer so self-righteously as if they could just bypass Jesus Christ and go straight to God. Who are we to do such a thing? “All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned everyone to his own way; and the Lord hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.” (Isaiah 53:6) “But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away. And there is none that calleth upon thy name, that stirreth up himself to take hold of thee:” (Isaiah 64:6-7a) “For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God.” (Romans 3:23) ” Behold, he putteth no trust in his saints; yea, the heavens are not clean in his sight.” (Job 15;15) If you have prayed and accepted Jesus Christ into your heart as your Saviour, then you are born again. SEE: (John 3:1-8) John 1:12 says, “But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:” ” Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.” (Hebrews 13:5) So that means Jesus Christ is living in you. “And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father.” (Galatians 4:6) “Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence?” (Psalms 139:7) So you can pray straight to him, he hears all you say and think so talk to him and he will talk back to you. It is presumptuous to pray straight to God our Heavenly Father. This means you are presuming you are worthy to go straight to God. Beloved the Lord God Almighty, The Heavenly Father only honors and hears prayers that go thru his Only Begotten Son Jesus Christ, our Lord and Saviour, and King of Kings and our High Priest. So, try it, Pray to Jesus Christ. You will be closer to him and God our Heavenly Father, and to Jesus his Only Begotten Son, and the Holy Spirit, The Trinity. Praying to Jesus is Praying to God our Heavenly Father, because your prayers go straight to him and Jesus, and the Holy Spirit also, at the same time to our Heavenly Parents, SEE our classes on the Holy Spirit for another eye-opening, shocking, and amazing truth found in www.answersintheword.com. Jesus said: “I and my Father are one.” (John 10:30) “Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father?” (John 14:9) Jesus Christ is the ultimate manifestation of God and his LOVE. Many Christians today won’t be able to accept this truth because it would mean they have been wrong and taught wrong to pray straight to the Father, and their pride is offended. Some of the hardest words in any language is “I was wrong”. I even tried to share this truth to my son-in-law in Love and he spoke. “I don’t need you or your web site, but later gave a weak apology, and said he was sorry if he had said anything wrong. He said his mom told him that this was the craziest thing she ever heard. “Am I therefore become your enemy because I tell you the truth?”(Galatians 4:16) He also said he has the Spirit and does not need any teaching. Beloved you have to rightly divide the Word of truth there are so many scripture verses on teaching. “And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also.” (2 Timothy 2:2) “All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:” (2 Timothy 3:16) “preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.” (2 Timothy 4:2) Jesus taught his disciples many things, and he said for us to follow him, and do as I do. “Jesus saith to Simon Peter, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me more than these? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my lambs. He saith to him again the second time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my sheep. He saith unto him the third time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? Peter was grieved because he said unto him the third time, Lovest thou me? And he said unto him, Lord, thou knowest all things; thou knowest that I love thee. Jesus saith unto him, Feed my sheep.” (John 21:15b-17). “Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.”(John 8:58). Pray to the eternal I AM, Jesus Christ, and by so doing you are praying to our Heavenly Father and the Holy Spirit. Jesus new that this would be a hard saying for his disciples to bear at that time. Can you receive this truth? “Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.”(Matthew 1:2-3). This verse is definitely talking about Jesus so you can pray to Jesus, who is God with us.

Say this prayer if you want to be saved: Jesus, I want to know you, and to live forever in Heaven, I know I have made mistakes and done bad things- and I am sorry. Please forgive me. I know I don’t deserve it, but I accept your love and I accept you as my Saviour. I believe you died on the cross for my sins, and rose from the dead. Please come into my heart and life and fill me with your Holy Spirit and give me peace. Amen

IS GRAVITY REAL?

Not too long ago we were driving past a large field of grazing cattle. There must have been hundreds of them and too our amazement they all were facing the same direction except maybe a few stragglers on the edge who were going their own way and doing their own thing. I thought wow the magnetic forces of the earth must have been extra strong there that day. The Bible says the Earth was hung by God upon nothing. “He stretcheth out the north over the empty place, and hangeth the earth upon nothing.” (Job 26:7). “for by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: and he is before all things, and by him all things consist.”(Colossians 1:16-17). Could this be talking about the unseen force of magnetism? Whole trains are said to be designed which run on Magnets and go up to 350+ miles per hour. What keeps the Stars, and Planets from falling off in space and running into each other? Comets and large belts of Asteroids which are independent disprove the Theory of gravity. Some say there is no gravity as Isaac Newton says. Is there some type of big Kryptonite green rock inside the Planets that hold the Universes and Galaxies in place? or very simply, it is the power of GOD. From studying The Scriptures we see that God created, “In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.” (Genesis 1:1). Then he created Jesus, his son. “And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God;” (Revelations 3:14). Then he no doubt made the Holy Spirit, and then Man and Woman. “And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.”(Genesis 1:26-27). Perhaps a better word to explain things about creation would be the magnetic fields, instead of Gravity. What do you think? Some Scientists use the word Displacement that somehow holds everything together when God created everything out of nothing. After all he is the invisible spirit of Love, that spoke creation into existence out of nothing by his WORD. “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God.” (John 1:1-2). “He that loveth not knoweth not God; for GOD IS LOVE. ” (1John 4:8). “And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.” (John 1:14). Jesus is the ultimate manifestation of God and his Love. “We love him, because he first loved us.” (1John 4:19).

So, what was it, magnetic fields, displacement, gravity or what? Should we even be asking such a question? Well, he did want us to know exactly how many feet are in the HOLY CITY’s length, breadth, and height, and wall, etc. SEE: Revelations Chapters 21-22, and how many days, months, and years in the Great Tribulation. And the exact measurements of the Temple etc. There is order with God’s Creation not confusion. “For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.” (1 Corinthians 14:33). GOD is the GREATEST, CREATOR, ARCHITECT, AND PHYSICIST OF ALL ALONG WITH HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON JESUS CHRIST AND THE HOLY GHOST!

SIR ISSAC NEWTON 1642-1726

Sir Issac Newton built his philosophy on the Theory of Gravity which was exceeded by Albert Einstein’s Theory of Relativity. It is said if you take matter and propel it faster than the speed of light (186,000 miles per second) that it will go into another dimension where time does not exist. However, the speed of light was later proven not to be constant. So you see it comes back down, as it always has, to faith, and belief in God’s Word the BIBLE. And yet at this date Newton’s theory of gravity is taught as fact along with Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution in our public schools, (Moloch) paid by our tax dollars. However Newton who also is a Theologian has been said to comment that Jesus Christ is the mediator between God and Man. You just can’t figure God and his ways out totally.” For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.”(Isaiah 55:8-9) “For who hath known the mind of the Lord? or who hath been his counsellor? Or who hath first given to him, and it shall be recompensed unto him again? For of him, and through him, and to him, are all things: to whom be glory for ever. Amen.”(Romans 11:34-36).”And Jesus called a little child unto him, and set him in the midst of them, and said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.”(Matthew 18:2-3). Children don’t try to figure everything out. They just want to play and have fun. You are wise if you are simple “But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ”(2 Corinthians 11:3).”Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.“(2 Timothy 2:15).

Say this prayer if you want to be saved, Jesus, I want to know you, and to live forever in Heaven, I know I have made mistakes and done bad things- and I am sorry. Please forgive me. I know I don’t deserve it, but I accept your love and I accept you as my Saviour. I believed you died on the cross for my sins and rose from the dead. Please come into my heart and life and fill me with your Holy Spirit and give me peace.


SPEND TIME

I THINK ONE OF THE HARDEST THINGS IN LIFE IS HAVING CHILDREN WHO GROW UP AND LEAVE YOU AND DESERT YOU AND GO ON TO WHERE THEIR HEART AND DESIRES LEAD THEM. I know it says a man shall leave his parents and cleave to his wife and a woman to her husband, but it also says in (Exodus 20:12) Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee. also in (Ephesians 6:1-3) “Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right.  Honour thy father and mother; (which is the first commandment with promise;) that it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live long on the earth” There must be a balance to be found. We have to rightly divide the Word of Truth. So love them while you can. They won’t always be with you. SPEND TIME with them, go places, do things together. Also just visit have a glass of tea and remanence together about good things. Jesus will bless you for your loving one another as he commanded us too.  “As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love. If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father’s commandments, and abide in his love. These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full. This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you. Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.”(John 15:9-13). “These things I command you, that ye love one another.”(John 15:17). I didn’t like trains stations or airplanes and Airports when I was younger because it always met to me that someone was leaving. “I love them that love me; and those that seek me early shall find me” (Proverbs 8:1) Sometimes we are forced to be this way just to keep going on. We have to harden our hearts somewhat against those that reject us to be able to bare it. He that is able to receive this saying let him receive it.

Say this prayer if you want to be saved, Jesus, I want to know you, and to live forever in Heaven, I know I have made mistakes and done bad things- and I am sorry. Please forgive me. I know I don’t deserve it, but I accept your love and I accept you as my Saviour. I believed you died on the cross for my sins and rose from the dead. Please come into my heart and life and fill me with your Holy Spirit and give me peace.

What is your religion? God’s only law is LOVE !!! Everyday is about The Love of God Through His Only Begotten Son Jesus Christ. February 14 is a Worldly event. It focuses on Hearts, Roses, Chocolates.  (1 John 4:8b), “FOR GOD IS LOVE” let that sink in.

Say this prayer if you want to be saved, Jesus, I want to know you, and to live forever in Heaven, I know I have made mistakes and done bad things- and I am sorry. Please forgive me. I know I don’t deserve it, but I accept your love and I accept you as my Saviour. I believed you died on the cross for my sins and rose from the dead. Please come into my heart and life and fill me with your Holy Spirit and give me peace.

What Does God Say About Truly Fasting?


We are to lift up or voices as a trumpet and spare not or water down the truth. “Cry aloud, spare not, lift up thy voice like a trumpet, and shew my people their transgression, and the house of Jacob their sins.”(Isaiah 58:1). “And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also.”(2 Timothy 2:2).Yet they seek me daily, and delight to know my ways, as a nation that did righteousness, and forsook not the ordinance of their God: they ask of me the ordinances of justice; they take delight in approaching to God. Wherefore have we fasted, say they, and thou seest not? wherefore have we afflicted our soul, and thou takest no knowledge? Behold, in the day of your fast ye find pleasure, and exact all your labours. Behold, ye fast for strife and debate, and to smite with the fist of wickedness: ye shall not fast as ye do this day, to make your voice to be heard on high. Is it such a fast that I have chosen? a day for a man to afflict his soul? is it to bow down his head as a bulrush, and to spread sackcloth and ashes under him? wilt thou call this a fast, and an acceptable day to the Lord?”(Isaiah 58:2-5). Jesus doesn’t want us to Fast for the praise of man and to show how spiritual we are, our only hope is believing in The Love, and Mercy of God through the Blood of Jesus.” but if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.” (1John 1:7). “All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the Lord hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.”(Isaiah 53:6). This is the Lords idea of truly Fasting. “He saith unto him the third time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? Peter was grieved because he said unto him the third time, Lovest thou me? And he said unto him, Lord, thou knowest all things; thou knowest that I love thee. Jesus saith unto him, Feed my sheep“. (John 21:17). Many Christians and Churches teach that Fasting is talking about denying yourself of food, and there are times when your so busy serving the Lord and needing to desperately pray, that you just don’t have time to stop and cook and eat and quench the spirit. “Is not this the fast that I have chosen? to loose the bands of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, and to let the oppressed go free, and that ye break every yoke?  Is it not to deal thy bread to the hungry, and that thou bring the poor that are cast out to thy house? when thou seest the naked, that thou cover him; and that thou hide not thyself from thine own flesh?” (Isaiah 58:6-7). “and he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left. Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: for I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in: naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me. Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink? When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee? Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee? And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.” (Matthew 25:33-40). “Then shall thy light break forth as the morning, and thine health shall spring forth speedily: and thy righteousness shall go before thee; the glory of the Lord shall be thy reward. Then shalt thou call, and the Lord shall answer; thou shalt cry, and he shall say, Here I am. If thou take away from the midst of thee the yoke, the putting forth of the finger, and speaking vanity; and if thou draw out thy soul to the hungry, and satisfy the afflicted soul; then shall thy light rise in obscurity, and thy darkness be as the noonday: and the Lord shall guide thee continually, and satisfy thy soul in drought, and make fat thy bones:
and thou shalt be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters fail not.
And they that shall be of thee shall build the old waste places: thou shalt raise up the foundations of many generations; and thou shalt be called, The repairer of the breach, The restorer of paths to dwell in. If thou turn away thy foot from the sabbath, from doing thy pleasure on my holy day; and call the sabbath a delight, the holy of the Lord, honourable;
and shalt honour him, not doing thine own ways, nor finding thine own pleasure, nor speaking thine own words:  then shalt thou delight thyself in the Lord; and I will cause thee to ride upon the high places of the earth,and feed thee with the heritage of Jacob thy father: for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it.” (Isaiah 58:8-14). Remember that Jesus Christ is the ultimate fulfillment of the Sabbath Day. “To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts. For if Jesus had given them rest, then would he not afterward have spoken of another day. There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God.  For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his.”(Hebrews 4:7b-10).

Say this prayer to be saved: Jesus, I want to know you, and to live forever in Heaven, I know I have made mistakes and done bad things- and I am sorry. Please forgive me. I know I don’t deserve it, but I accept your love and I accept you as my Saviour. Please come into my heart and life and fill me with your Holy Spirit and give me peace. Amen.

A CHALLENGE FOR US ALL!

Why should anyone hear the Gospel twice when some have never heard it once? We need to quit trying to preach to the choir so much, even though they need to hear it too. “not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost; which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour; that being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life. This is a faithful saying, and these things I will that thou affirm constantly, that they which have believed in God might be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable unto men. But avoid foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions, and strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain. A man that is an heretick after the first and second admonition reject;”(Titus 3:5-10). You are either a Missionary or a Mission Field !!! Which are you? It’s time to grow up in the Lord! You can’t stay a baby forever! “When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.”(1Corinthians 13:11). Take a stand for Jesus Christ. Don’t be on the fence. Don’t be a halfhearted sting noodle for a backbone Christain. “So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.”(Revelation 3:16). Lord help us not to be lukewarm which makes the Lord want to spew those that are out of his mouth. “I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work.”(John 9:4). “Say not ye, There are yet four months, and then cometh harvest? behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest.”(john 4:35). Remember “No Victory without a Battle, No Testimony without a Test No Triumph without a Trial.” Don’t waste time on People who reject the truth after two times. This is your scriptural precedence to leave them in God’s hands so you can go on to find listening ears. Jesus said: “My sheep hear my voice and I know them and they follow me.” (John 10:27). “Son of man, I have made thee a watchman unto the house of Israel: therefore hear the word at my mouth, and give them warning from me. When I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; and thou givest him not warning, nor speakest to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life; the same wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thine hand. Yet if thou warn the wicked, and he turn not from his wickedness, nor from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul.” (Ezekiel 3:17-19). Jesus said: “Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.”(Matthew 7:6). “Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.”(2 Timothy 2:15).”Flee also youthful lusts: but follow righteousness, faith, charity, peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart. But foolish and unlearned questions avoid, knowing that they do gender strifes. And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient, in meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth; and that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will.”(2 Timothy 2:22-26).”And it came to pass, when Jesus had ended these sayings, the people were astonished at his doctrine: for he taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes.”(Matthew 7:28-29). The Sheep need a Shepard who is strong in faith and the Power of his might by his Spirit. “It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.”(John 6:63). Don’t be a woost. “The wicked flee when no man pursueth:
but the righteous are bold as a lion.” (Proverbs 28:1). IT’S A HEADS UP ! ALL HANDS ON DECK ! BATTLE STATIONS ! THIS IS NOT A DRILL !
