Unusual, and Extenuating Circumstances?

Maria, my daughter-in-law told me just the other day “we sure do move a lot” I told her “yes, I guess that is one of our problems.” Seems like we are always on the move.” Jesus said, “The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.” (John 3:8). “And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.” (Matthew 4:19). If there’s anything I’ve learned in my brief time of life of serving the Lord of some 50 + years, is that God always has something up his sleeve, something new that surprises me. You never know what He’s going to do next. It’s like the old preacher said “I have been in the way for 50 years” Well it’s about time I got out of the way so I don’t get ran over. You can be on track, but if you stay still you’ll eventually get run into and over. “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).So don’t sew your sleeping bag to your mattress or get stuck in a rut, because the Lord may have something else in store for you. Bigger or smaller. However there are no smaller things of God, Because everything we do or say effects someone, some where and their eternal state of being. “What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?” (Romans 8:31). “This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, without natural affection, truce breakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, traitors, heady, high minded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.” (2Timothy 3:1-5). Living for Jesus is the most exciting, fun, and rewarding life that you could ever find. “Jesus saw Nathaniel coming to him, and saith of him, Behold an Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile! Nathaniel saith unto him, Whence knowest thou me? Jesus answered and said unto him, Before that Philip called thee, when thou wast under the fig tree, I saw thee. Nathaniel answered and saith unto him, Rabbi, thou art the Son of God; thou art the King of Israel. Jesus answered and said unto him, Because I said unto thee, I saw thee under the fig tree, believest thou? thou shalt see greater things than these.”(John 1:47-50). “Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.”(John 14:12). “But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light: which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy.”(1 Peter 2:9-10).The Bible says during these end times that his children will do great and mighty exploits and he will pour out his spirit on all flesh. “And such as do wickedly against the covenant shall he corrupt by flatteries: but the people that do know their God shall be strong, and do exploits.” (Daniel 11:32). “And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions:” (Joel 2:28). So hang on tight to Jesus, strap yourself in with the word, because Gods mighty roller coaster is stopping at the station to pick up a new group of passengers soon to be taking out of the station and your in for a thrilling time culminating with the Rapture and Marriage Supper of the Lamb which is the beginning of another great adventure following Jesus. He is calling you to get on board. Just like a loving Father who loves us and loves to surprise with His Blessings, and good things. Seems like my son James is like this too because he loves to inspire his children with new blessings and places to go see all the time. Ready to go, Ready to stay, Ready my place to fill. Ready for service lowly or great, Ready to do his will. Remember our purpose is to Love the Lord and enjoy his creation forever and to help others to do the same. “But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.” (1 Corinthians 2:9).

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 your peace. Amen.

Responsibility

Most people who are business owners or managers or leaders have a deep sense of responsibility. They are concerned about the people they work for and the people that work for them. They are concerned that they do a good job because that is a reflection on them personally and their relationship to Jesus Christ, and their witness and testimony. People should look at us and say “there is something different about these folks.” They are concerned about their employees and making their payroll, and making their clients and customers happy first of all, and paying their bills before even themselves . This feeling of responsibility comes from God who made us and all things. It’s like birds who take long flights during the winter out of instinct knowing that it must be done to survive and flourish at great personal sacrifice and even danger. In other words it’s not a natural thing that the flesh wants to do. “Then cometh Jesus with them unto a place called Gethsemane, and saith unto the disciples, Sit ye here, while I go and pray yonder. And he took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and began to be sorrowful and very heavy. Then saith he unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful, even unto death: tarry ye here, and watch with me. And he went a little further, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt.

And he cometh unto the disciples, and findeth them asleep, and saith unto Peter, What, could ye not watch with me one hour? Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.” (Matthew 26:36-41). “For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.” (Galatians 5:17). The flesh just wants to flesh out and be a couch potato but the spirit wants to rise up and go on to greater victories for Jesus.

This personal sacrifice gives leaders a great sense of satisfaction and even JOY in helping others. Remember a great way to spell and receive JOY is Jesus Others and You. We need to pray and ask Jesus to give us a sense of Responsibility knowing that we will all appear before Jesus Christ. “For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.” (2 Corinthians 5:10). Will he say unto you “Well done, good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.”(Matthew 25:23). This is what we all should be living for, is to hear Jesus say this unto us personally!

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 your peace. Amen.

VAIN THOUGHTS

I hate vain thoughts: but thy law do I love.” (Psalm 119:113). “Thou puttest away all the wicked of the earth like dross: (dross means the impurities that are removed and discarded after, gold and other precious metals are refined in the hot fires of the metal worker), therefore I love thy testimonies. My flesh trembleth for fear of thee; and I am afraid of thy judgments.” (Psalm 119:119-120). This is one of the major problems in the World today, people have little to no fear of God. “There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.” (1John 4:18). “He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.”(John 3:36). You can’t keep the birds from flying over your head, but you can keep them from landing, and making a nest in your hair. So it is with vain thoughts sent from the Devil and his demons, designed to waste your time and even destroy you.Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:” (1Peter 5:8). Like the little child said, “If a thought tells me to do good, then it is from God, but if it tells me to do evil and bad, then it is from the Devil!” “A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.” (James 1:8). Our best hope is to stay focused in our minds and heart, and thoughts on Jesus and his WORD. Jesus faught the Devil by quoting the Scriptures to him. “Jesus said unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.

Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them; and saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me. Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve. Then the devil leaveth him, and, behold, angels came and ministered unto him.” (Matthew 4:7-11). Jesus said, “Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you.”(John 15:3). Would you rather go into battle with a dull butter knife or a strong twoedged sword. “For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.” (Hebrews 4:12). Since you know that you are going to have to go into battle against the Devil and his demon armies shouldn’t you be sharpening your sword by memorizing and reviewing the scriptures? Just like a soldier who cleans and prepares his weapon for battle! An idol, or idle mind is the Devils work shop! What we listen to determines what we are and will be! Remember this when you are responsible for teaching your children. “casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;” (2 Corinthians 10:5). “The thoughts of the diligent tend only to plenteousness; but of every one that is hasty only to want.” (Proverbs 21:5) “Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.” (Philippians 4:8). When we enter into the World of thoughts we are entering into the Spirit World. BE CAUTIOUS, CAREFULL, AND PRAYERFULL OUT THERE!!!

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 your peace. Amen.

DO YOU NEED A SPIRITUAL BREAK THROUGH?

Do you feel sometimes that you can’t make any real progress toward your goals and that you keep running into a brick wall, or spinning your wheels? Well, you probably need a spiritual Break through. The Prophet Daniel had to fight in the Spirit for 21 days with the chief Demon Spirit of Persia to get the revelation that is why the ARC Angel Gabriel came to him and told him he was greatly loved by the Lord and gave him the powerful revelations of The Book of Daniel Especially Chapter Nine which is one of the most powerful faith building Chapters in the whole Bible, proving that Jesus Christ is the Messiah ! He was gratefully loved because the Lord saw that he didn’t give up he didn’t throw in the towel, he kept fighting even though after the spiritual Battle he was sick certain days. The Lord even sent Michael the Arch Angel to help Gabriel fight the Demons for Daniel. Sometimes we need help from powerful Angels. (Daniel 10:11-21). There are times we need to get desperate with the Lord Jesus in Prayer, with strong crying out and in tears and even on our faces alone crying out to Jesus to get a breakthrough and don’t give up! Quote the terms of the Contract (THE BIBLE) To The Contract Makers, (God, Jesus, and The Holy Ghost). KEEP THE FAITH !!! Be a Fighter in the Spirit, a Prayer Warrior for Jesus! No Victory without a Battle No Testimony without a TEST ! No Triumph without a trial. I will Not doubt Though All My Ships Come Home with Broken Sails. “I Have Not Yet Began to Fight”! Rebuke The Devil and His Demons in The Name of Jesus Christ!!! Don’t take No for an Answer! Where there is a will there is a way. “Be Thou Faithful unto death and I will give thee a crown of Life! “Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him” (James 1:12). “Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer: behold, the devil shall cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have tribulation ten days: be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life” (Revelations 2:10). The Lord wants to make a Spiritual fighter out of you. Not a bed of roses, but of spiritual war is what he has promised 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 sins, 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

RIGHTLY DIVIDE THE WORD OF TRUTH ! Part 2

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). You can’t just take one or even two verses and base a whole doctrine on that. You have to take the Whole Bible and put the verses together to get a more accurate understanding. It’s like putting a great puzzle together. “These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.” (Acts 17:11). The Lord loves a mystery because he wants to see who are his sheep and who wants to find his Truth and who loves him. “For unto you it is given in the behalf of Christ, not only to believe on him, but also to suffer for his sake;” (Philippians 1:29). An example of this would be the false teaching of “You Can Lose Your Salvation” Where the scripture says; “work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.” (Philippians 2:12). This is Clearly referring to searching all the scriptures on this subject to get a clear picture of what the Lord is saying to us. The next verse (Philippians 2:13) Says “it is God which worketh in you both the will and to do of his good pleasure.” See how the next verse ( Philippians 2:13) explains the meaning of verse 12. If you only took verse 12 you would get the interpretation that we had to work our way to Salvation. Also the false doctrine of Pre Tribulation Rapture, (Please read the teaching “Is Pre-Tribulation Rapture True or Not?” In www.answersintheword.com.) This false doctrine of Pre-Tribulation Rapture makes the Whole BIBLE sequence of events impossible to clearly understand by throwing off the correct sequence of events. The devil always tries to bring confusion, division, and chaos. Jesus said to some of the so called learned Scribes and Pharasses “Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.”(John 8:44). So do you see how important it is to take all the scriptures and study them and put them together for your own foundation of faith so you can be a “good soldier”? “Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. 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. Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.”(2 Timothy 2:1-3). “For the eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to shew himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward him. Herein thou hast done foolishly: therefore from henceforth thou shalt have wars.”(2 Chronicles 16:9). If you want to make the Lord pleased and happy with you then show him you love him by doing this. “This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.”(Joshua 1:8). “Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a merchant man, seeking goodly pearls: who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had, and bought it.”(Matthew 13:45-46). There is a great treasure map put before you. Study it carefully to find the prize.

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 sins, 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

MOVING FORWARD

being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:”(Philippians 1:6). “Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ” (Philippians 3:13-14). The future is bright as the promises of God. When we follow Jesus the light at the end of the tunnel is not an on coming train. “But the path of the just is as the shining light,
that shineth more and more unto the perfect day.” (Proverbs 4:18). “looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God” (Hebrews 12:2). “Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.” (Matthew 25:21b). “I waited patiently for the Lord;
and he inclined unto me, and heard my cry. He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings.”(Psalms 40:1-2). “Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content.” (Philippians 4:11). “There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.” (Romans 8:1). Don’t let THE ENEMY, the Devil and his Demons drag you down and get you hung up in the dumps of Your Past. Jesus wants you to get a new start and free from what’s slowing you down. When you WORK, WORK, with all your heart, and when you PLAY, PLAY, with all your heart and don’t mix the two. An idol or idle mind is the devils workshop.
We as Christians, believers in the promises in the Bible should be the happiest people on the face of the earth so much so that we actually shine with joy and expectation of the future so that people will want what we have got that they don’t, but can have, if they will only listen.

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.

KINDNESS

The Bible says “and be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ’s sake hath forgiven you.”(Ephesians 4:32). Be kind to people you meet along life’s way because you never know what they are going thru. Where there is hatred let me show love. Where there is sadness let me sow joy, where there is strife let me bring peace. All the things of this life are soon to pass. Only what’s done for Christ shall last. Jesus was always the true witness even when he was dying on the cross. He was a Faithful Witness. Jesus Christ is the ultimate manfestion of God’s Love and Kindness. We can have a little bit of Heaven right now if we would only be like Jesus. Life is like a boomerang it comes back to you according to how you throw it out. “Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets.”(Matthew 7:12). In other words, treat others the way you would like the Lord to treat you. Kindness can come in different forms like telling people, things they don’t necessarly want to hear but need too. If you have a hard time loving people, or some people, ask Jesus to show them to you through his eyes. Mercy, forgivness, and love are three gifts of the spirit that go along with kindness, aren’t they? Jesus said, “This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you.”(John 15:12). Jesus even commanded us to love our enemies. “But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; that ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven:”(Matthew 5:44,45a).

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

DO YOU KNOW JESUS?

Known unto God are all his works from the beginning of the world. ” (Acts 15:18). Do you have knowledge about Jesus or do you personally know him also? He knows all about you and he lives in you 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). He knows every thought you take and every move you make, and why you do what you do. You can not hide from him. “Whither shall I go from thy spirit?or whither shall I flee from thy presence?”(Psalm 139:7). You can’t find a better closer friend than Him: “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). “All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.” (John 6:37). You can’t know the Love of Jesus Christ until you give him your heart. “We love him, because he first loved us.” (1 John 4:19). “Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.” (Jeremiah 1:5). “The Lord is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart;
and saveth such as be of a contrite (which means crushed) spirit.” (Psalm 34:18). “ And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.” (Matthew 7:23). To know Jesus Christ is the most important thing of ALL. Knowing Jesus is not just Religion. It’s all about a Relationship. “ And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity (LOVE), I am nothing.” (1 Corinthians 13:2). Would you like to have peace in the midst of a storm, even when an earthquake strikes and a mountain is being moved? Would you like to have JOY when there is no JOY to be found? Try Jesus, Others, then You. Would you like to hear His Voice when there is confusion and stress and Crisis all around? Just cry out to Jesus with all your heart, and he will immediately stretch out his hand and save you.” “And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart.” (Jeremiah 29:13). Jesus is one in Spirit with God our Heavenly Father and The Holy Spirit, called the Trinity and they are Omniscient, Omnipresent, and Omnipotent, meaning all knowing, always present and all powerful. You can’t get better than that ! Remember three men were walking on a wall, feeling, faith, and fact. Feeling had and awful fall and faith was taken back, only fact remained. Fact pulled up faith, and faith pulled up feeling and they walked on the wall again. He never promised us a rose garden, but a cross and a crown.

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

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 !

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 sins, 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

HAVE YOU HIT ROCK BOTTOM YET?

One thing good about hitting rock bottom is that there is only one way to go, which is up, and also you’ll find that Jesus is the Rock that you have to stand on to climb up and out. “I waited patiently for the Lord; and he inclined unto me, and heard my cry. He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings.”(Psalms 40:1-2) “And whosoever shall fall on this stone shall be broken: but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.” (Matthew 21:44). Jesus is the “Rock of Ages”, the Chief Corner Stone, and the Keystone which we must build our house upon. “Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock: and the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock. And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand: and the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.” (Matthew 7:24-27). Sometimes I feel a little bit like the Lord must feel when the Bible says: “And they all forsook him and fled.”(Mark 14:50). But then I realized our children have busy lives to take care of and I should be thankful that they take time to read the daily postings that the Lord gives us. “I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth.”(3 John 1:4). “I love them that love me; and those that seek me early shall find me.” (Proverbs 8:17).”Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law.” (Romans 13:8). Remember Jesus said: “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). “teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.”(Matthew 28:20). You can lose everything but you can’t lose Jesus. “All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out. “(John 6:37). Jesus is not just my crutch, but my wheel chair or better yet my stretcher, and the Angels are my Stretcher Barrers.” I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.” (John15:5). Remember the Old Hymn “I Have Decided To Follow Jesus” I have decided to follow Jesus! I won’t turn back! I won’t turn back! You can take the whole World just give me Jesus, You can take the whole World just give me Jesus,…You shouldn’t join a Church because it is closest to you, but you should go to a Church that is closest to the Bible and Jesus Christ! Go the extra mile or miles for Jesus. I could never find a Church that I could totally agree with so the Lord lead us to start a Church and teach the whole truth and nothing but the truth to his sheep, and don’t water the message down and be lukewarm and on the fence! Jesus said: If you LOVE ME, feed my sheep! “For I have not shunned to declare unto you all the counsel of God.”(Acts 20:27).

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 sins, 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
