These Simple Things...

Hello Brothers and Sisters

Luke 11:28 But he said, Yea rather, blessed are they that hear the word of God, and keep it.

Oh how those words are all we need to hear and follow. The Lord gives us all we need in this one scripture but what does it mean to hear the word of God? Is it hearing the words of the bible, is it hearing the Lord speaking to you spiritually? And how do you hear the word of God, how do YOU hear the Lord in your life? I believe the answer to these questions lay in two simple, but all encompassing things, wisdom and understanding…

Proverbs 3:19 The LORD by wisdom hath founded the earth; by understanding hath he established the heavens.

Wow...what a powerful, powerful beginning this wisdom and understanding has, that the Lord founded this very earth in wisdom and He established the heavens in understanding! If these two attributes could be this important to our Father, what place should they have in our lives?
When trying to hear God's word in any capacity, we must start from the beginning as the Lord did, in wisdom and understanding. But what does that mean?? What is wisdom from God's perspective and how does that translate to understanding, especially within our little abilities?

Proverbs 10:28 The hope of the righteous shall be gladness: but the expectation of the wicked shall perish.
Proverbs 11:23 The desire of the righteous is only good: but the expectation of the wicked is wrath.

Righteousness. Oh to follow the Lord with all you are and stay in His ways! Yes! This is to be wise according to our Father. To lay down your own will for His that is greater.
The Lord created us, in His perfect ways, to give us a life everlasting. We must trust and be wise to HIS infinite wisdom. We attain this wisdom through reading of His Holy word. And by having faith…

Psalm 101:6 Mine eyes shall be upon the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me: he that walketh in a perfect way, he shall serve me.
Exodus 31:3 And I have filled him with the spirit of God, in wisdom, and in understanding, and in knowledge, and in all manner of workmanship.

Faith brings understanding of and in the Lord. To be faithful to His will, to depend on His desires for us alone and to put into action the spirit of the Lord given to us in His word, the bible.

So if we read His word and keep it, follow it and let it be our guide, the Lord bestows His wisdom upon us, through us. And if we truly believe, through faith, in His plan, we receive His understanding!

Hearing the word of God, keeping it, honoring it is not only receiving our Lord through reading His word but by truly applying it in our lives as our number one. Through reading and sharing in His plan we grow spiritually, becoming one with Him. Through walking in that growth, with faith and hope in Him as our light, we gain understanding and a thankful heart for His amazing, amazing plan!

So, be righteous in the Lord, may your wisdom and understanding in Him never cease to grow and listen to His word and keep it always!

Proverbs 8:17 I love them that love me; and those that seek me early shall find me.

As You Walk thru a Storm...

Hello Brothers and Sisters...

As you walk thru a storm hold your head up high and don't be afraid of the dark
At the end of the storm there's a golden sky and the sweet silver sound of a lark...

Walk on thru the wind
Walk on thru the rain

Thou' your dreams be tossed and blown... Walk on..Walk on with hope in your heart
And you'll never walk alone,  You'll never walk alone...

One of my favorite songs and so very true...  As you walk with GOD you will never walk alone.
HE will never leave or forsake you.  Don't leave or forsake HIM!  It is only we who turn away from Him.  HE is always there, HE never changes.  HE is the same today as yesterday.

Mal 3:6 

For I am the LORD, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed.

In our walk of and in life on this earth I see in each one of us a manner in which we choose to live.  A manner in which we work, play, act, talk, and treat our brothers.  All of these things relate to what and how we think about ourselves and our brothers.  What we think is then acted on in our movements and deeds.  Things done, shared, and said to those around us.  I pray all these things are done with Hope in our Hearts.
 
Darkness is all around us in this day but one thing darkness cannot overcome is LIGHT!!!

JESUS CHRIST is the LIGHT!!!  Be not afraid!!!   JESUS is the Power of the Living GOD, the LORD God.  There is only one Living God.  The GOD of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.  The GOD of /in the King James Version of the HOLY WORD, the HOLY BIBLE.  The only Living GOD that proved by Physically coming and living amongst HIS creation to show HIS children the walk of Truth and Goodness.  Physically fulfilling HIS COVENANT OF GOOD written with HIS OWN FINGER for us.  The Ten Commandments of GOOD!  This GOOD is not for HIM but for us!!!
Walk in this Goodness, allow it to consume you,  ALL of you!  Abide in it,  read HIS Word constantly, fill every ounce of your being with it until you eat, live and breathe it.  Walk in this enough and the Goodness becomes you.  Remember you are what you eat...right??

Luke 10:19

Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.

John 12:46

I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on me should not abide in darkness.

 

If your house (your mind) is not completely filled, if you have left spaces empty in the furthest corners of your mind the darkness will fill in any space not occupied.

 

Matt 12:43-45  When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest, and findeth none. 

Then he saith, I will return into my house from whence I came out; and when he is come, he findeth it empty, swept, and garnished.

Then goeth he, and taketh with himself seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter in and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first. Even so shall it be also unto this wicked generation.

 

When we turn from darkness, we turn our back on what it represents and we choose not to partake of its fruits (sin),  we must turn to the LIGHT and let it  completely fill us and walk in it.  The acceptance of the LIGHT (JESUS the POWER OF GOD) is the first step.  The walk is the continued steps (action) on the narrow path.  Unfortunately not many will continue, not many will see the LIGHT at the end of the tunnel,  not many will endure to the end and walk the GOOD walk of faith.

 

Matt 7:14

Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.

Matt 22:14

For many are called, but few are chosen.

 

GOD made promises to those who will endure to the end.  GOD breaks not HIS promises.  To endure and keep walking the narrow path will prove to you beyond any doubt who GOD is.  Its the path, the journey that shows you time after time after time that GOD is real and living and very much a part of your little itty bitty life.

 

Luke 12:6-7

Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings, and not one of them is forgotten before God? 

But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore: ye are of more value than many sparrows.

 

A father corrects his children for various reasons.  Our Father corrects HIS children as well.  In our walk down this narrow path there are multitudes and I mean multitudes of side paths.  These paths are very SHORT and it is very easy to see the fruits of the detour and it'll only take a minute to sidetrack and check it out.  The sight of which looks to good to be true and guess what..........IT IS!!!

The devil comes disguised as an angel of light to deceive you into thinking wow this is great and good.  What appears to be good is often times only what man deems to be good.  There is only one set standard for GOOD and it is set by the Creator of ALL THINGS. 

 

Heb 11:25

Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season;

 

2Cor 11:14

And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.

 

Isa 48:10

Behold, I have refined thee, but not with silver; I have chosen thee in the furnace of affliction.

 

Mark 4:13-20

 And he said unto them, Know ye not this parable? and how then will ye know all parables?  The sower soweth the word.  And these are they by the way side, where the word is sown; but when they have heard, Satan cometh immediately, and taketh away the word that was sown in their hearts.  And these are they likewise which are sown on stony ground; who, when they have heard the word, immediately receive it with gladness;  And have no root in themselves, and so endure but for a time: afterward, when affliction or persecution ariseth for the word's sake, immediately they are offended.  And these are they which are sown among thorns; such as hear the word,  And the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful.  And these are they which are sown on good ground; such as hear the word, and receive it, and bring forth fruit, some thirtyfold, some sixty, and some an hundred.

 

Endure to the end...

 

Heb 12:7

If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not?

 

2Tim 4:3 

For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;

 

Not ever word you hear is from God is truly from GOD.  Discernment only comes with a CLOSE relationship to your Father.  A close relationship means you talk daily.  It means there is communication between you...talking and listening.  It is not a one way street.  The set standard has long been established by the very finger of our GOD.  Let no man persuade or sugar coat any word differently.

 

Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.

 

And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.

 

GOD's promises have and will be fulfilled as they always have been and will be...Amen

 

2Cor 7:1

Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.

 

Heb 11:33 Who through faith subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions

 

2Peter 1:4 

Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.

 

2Peter 3:9

The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

 

1John 2:25

And this is the promise that he hath promised us, even eternal life.

 

Even so...

 

1John 2:6

He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked.

 

Jas 2:17

Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.

 

Rev 22:20

He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus.

 

 

Thank you for listening...I pray for understanding for each one LORD JESUS!!!

 

The Work of Righteousness...

Hello Brothers and Sisters


Isaiah 32:17  And the work of righteousness shall be peace; and the effect of righteousness quietness and assurance forever.


Did someone say work??   Yes,  GOD did!!!  The work of righteousness,  it is a work.  It takes you wanting to do it and then doing it.  The beauty of it is you can do it anywhere and everywhere and at anytime.  You can do it when you are alone or with many.  You can do it all the time or once in awhile.  You can do it when you are at home or driving in your car or anywhere you may be.

1Tim 6:11

But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness.

2Tim 2:22  

Flee also youthful lusts: but follow righteousness, faith, charity, peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart.

What a work uh??  The effect is the payment...........this is where is gets real good.  Quietness.... oh how wonderful is the stillness of your mind.  Be still and know that I am GOD...  there it is.  Free from stress and aggravation,  free from worry and confusion.  A quiet mind is a healthy mind.  This comes with a clear/clean conscience before GOD. 

1 Peter 3:16

Having a good conscience; that, whereas they speak evil of you, as of evildoers, they may be ashamed that falsely accuse your good conversation in Christ.

 

1 Peter 2:19

For this is thankworthy, if a man for conscience toward God endure grief, suffering wrongfully.

 

When attacked for righteousness be thankful to endure a small taste of what our LORD JESUS has suffered for us.

 

You see...it is not our righteousness but JESUS CHRIST is our righteousness.  It is HE we follow and work in/of HIS example.  It is HIS righteousness and we are to work it in all we do.

 

Psa 40:10

I have not hid thy righteousness within my heart; I have declared thy faithfulness and thy salvation: I have not concealed thy lovingkindness and thy truth from the great congregation.

 

Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, and put your trust in the LORD.

For the righteous LORD loveth righteousness; his countenance doth behold the upright.

And the heavens shall declare his righteousness: for God is judge himself. Selah.

 

Proverbs....The wisest man in the world shares his wisdom with us .........  for us.  Here is some wisdom ............

 

Then shalt thou understand righteousness, and judgment, and equity; yea, every good path.

Treasures of wickedness profit nothing: but righteousness delivereth from death.

Riches profit not in the day of wrath: but righteousness delivereth from death

The wicked worketh a deceitful work: but to him that soweth righteousness shall be a sure reward.

 

In the way of righteousness is life; and in the pathway thereof there is no death.

 

Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people.

 

O How this nation is a reproach to the world in this day.  When this nation began it was in righteousness and it blessed all the world.  Sadly it has turned from righteousness and spread unrighteousness to all the world.  Stand firm people of GOD...........We are renewed in HIM......If we will let HIM use us, If we will allow HIS spirit to fill and flow thru us the power of HIS goodness and righteousness will manifest in ways we could never conceive of.

 Everyday I see HIS power at work whether it be in my small little world or in this great big  gorgeous ball we call earth.

 

Isa 41:10

Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.

 

Isa 45:8

Drop down, ye heavens, from above, and let the skies pour down righteousness: let the earth open, and let them bring forth salvation, and let righteousness spring up together; I the LORD have created it.

 

Isa 51:6-8

Lift up your eyes to the heavens, and look upon the earth beneath: for the heavens shall vanish away like smoke, and the earth shall wax old like a garment, and they that dwell therein shall die in like manner: but my salvation shall be for ever, and my righteousness shall not be abolished.

Hearken unto me, ye that know righteousness, the people in whose heart is my law; fear ye not the reproach of men, neither be ye afraid of their revilings.

For the moth shall eat them up like a garment, and the worm shall eat them like wool: but my righteousness shall be for ever, and my salvation from generation to generation.

 

Righteousness is also forgiveness in fullness.  By this I mean to the very depths of who you are without your flesh.  Who are we without our flesh.....have you ever really thought about that?

Take away this container called our body completely and what still stands there.  Standing there all by itself is only the sum of all your work.  Everything you are...........complete with a recording of your entire being from conception to physical death.  Every thought, action, non action, desire, emotion everything you interacted in/of/with/for/against.  No flesh anymore,  just you as you really are.  Standing there with no more excuses, no more buts, no more becauses.

Every true and honest feeling within you is no longer covered up by your flesh.  The covering is gone and the true contents of you are revealed.  Judgment and Mercy are given accordingly.

 

Mat 7:2

For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.

 

Mat 12:36

But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.

 

Jhn 7:24

Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment.

 

Rom 2:2

But we are sure that the judgment of God is according to truth against them which commit such things.

 

Rom 14:10

But why dost thou judge thy brother? or why dost thou set at nought thy brother? for we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ.

 

Jas 2:13

For he shall have judgment without mercy, that hath shewed no mercy; and mercy rejoiceth against judgment.

 

1 Jhn 4:17

Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world.

 

JESUS CHRIST is our example, The Begotten (planned) Son of GOD ... Gave HIS life for our forgiveness.  If HE had not made a way for our forgiveness then we would be standing there in all our chosen sin.  Remember it is HIS Blood given in love that covers our chosen sin not anything we have done in righteousness.  The Life is in the Blood,  only HIS Blood is pure and only HIS Blood sacrificed will Father accept as atonement for sin.  We are given forgiveness as a gift thru true repentance which is turning from sin.  To walk in HIS way of righteousness to be counted as worthy to aid and assist GOD in HIS house (the universe).

If we harbor feelings against our brothers, this means to show in the flesh that you have forgiven a brother but when your flesh is gone, lo and behold there is a seed hiding inside of you.  No flesh to hide these things we choose not to bring before GOD in truth,  they are very painful sometimes and for now it seems easier to bury them deep within us.  Let us pray that when we appear before our GOD in judgment there will not be seeds of corruption within us that we have not repented of. 

 

Col 1:14 

In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins:

 

Mat 6:14-15

For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you:

But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.

 

1 Jhn 1:9

If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

 

Please Brothers forgive one another and love each other as GOD loves us.  We would do well to heed HIS WORD.

 

Be Blessed!!!

 

Life is a Puzzle...

Hello Brothers and Sisters,


Imagine you are the creator of a most beautiful puzzle.  This puzzle is complete with everything needed.  It is a visual fulfillment of all things to sustain life.  In it you will find everything needed to grow your physical body to a state of strength and health.  In it you will also find everything needed to grow your spirit to a state of strength and health.  This puzzle is a picture of the path of our lives.

At birth we are given one piece of this puzzle.  We do not get to see the cover of the box, so we have no idea what the end result of what this puzzle will look like.  We have one piece and its just this blurry little mess that we cannot make heads or tails of.  It may or may not have any color on it to indicate to us if it might be part of this or that. 

Depending on our environment consisting of our parents and church leaders or lack thereof we begin to grow both physically and spiritually by what we are fed.  When we are fed we get more pieces of this grand puzzle and if we are fed good food from the creator some of these pieces will fit together.
If we are not fed good food, by this I mean food that will only sustain us physically,  we will grow only physically.  We still get some pieces to the puzzle but none of them fit together.  It is extremely hard to begin to see what this puzzle will look like if none of these pieces will even connect together.

As we go thru life we continue to collect many pieces of this puzzle.  Some are fed to us, some we collect thru the mercy of the creator.  Sometimes we could care less what this puzzle looks like or what it could mean to our lives.  Sometimes we feel this inner desire to search out pieces so we can start to understand what the cover looks like.  Until then we can only imagine what the creator had in mind when He formed this puzzle.  We know that this puzzle is complete with all things needed..... so I want to keep searching for pieces.  So because I want to know what the end result of this puzzle is I must search out the desire and purpose for us that the creator intended.

Fortunately for us His desire is for us to find all the pieces to this beautiful puzzle.  Are we searching???

Job 21:14 
 Therefore they say unto God, Depart from us; for we desire not the knowledge of thy ways.

Job 33:29-33
    Lo, all these things worketh God oftentimes with man,

   To bring back his soul from the pit, to be enlightened with the light of the living.

   Mark well, O Job, hearken unto me: hold thy peace, and I will speak.

   If thou hast any thing to say, answer me: speak, for I desire to justify thee.

   If not, hearken unto me: hold thy peace, and I shall teach thee wisdom.

Psa 145:16
   Thou openest thine hand, and satisfiest the desire of every living thing.


If we search earnestly from our hearts, the LORD will reveal wisdom and understanding with each puzzle piece given.  These two pearls are spoken of in Proverbs 3:13-35 

¹³ Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, and the man that getteth understanding.
¹⁴ For the merchandise of it is better than the merchandise of silver, and the gain thereof than fine gold.
¹⁵ She is more precious than rubies: and all the things thou canst desire are not to be compared unto her.
¹⁶ Length of days is in her right hand; and in her left hand riches and honour.
¹⁷ Her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace.
¹⁸ She is a tree of life to them that lay hold upon her: and happy is every one that retaineth her.
¹⁹ The Lord by wisdom hath founded the earth; by understanding hath he established the heavens.
²⁰ By his knowledge the depths are broken up, and the clouds drop down the dew.
²¹ My son, let not them depart from thine eyes: keep sound wisdom and discretion:
²² So shall they be life unto thy soul, and grace to thy neck.
²³ Then shalt thou walk in thy way safely, and thy foot shall not stumble.
²⁴ When thou liest down, thou shalt not be afraid: yea, thou shalt lie down, and thy sleep shall be sweet.
²⁵ Be not afraid of sudden fear, neither of the desolation of the wicked, when it cometh.
²⁶ For the Lord shall be thy confidence, and shall keep thy foot from being taken.
²⁷ Withhold not good from them to whom it is due, when it is in the power of thine hand to do it.
²⁸ Say not unto thy neighbour, Go, and come again, and to morrow I will give; when thou hast it by thee.
²⁹ Devise not evil against thy neighbour, seeing he dwelleth securely by thee.
³⁰ Strive not with a man without cause, if he have done thee no harm.
³¹ Envy thou not the oppressor, and choose none of his ways.
³² For the froward is abomination to the Lord: but his secret is with the righteous.
³³ The curse of the Lord is in the house of the wicked: but he blesseth the habitation of the just.
³⁴ Surely he scorneth the scorners: but he giveth grace unto the lowly.
³⁵ The wise shall inherit glory: but shame shall be the promotion of fools.

Imagine seeing this puzzle completed in all its Glory and Honor!!!  Seeing this beautiful Master Plan all in a panoramic view before you and not being able to be in it.  Imagine you are told "You have no cord to connect you."  You see this amazing realm with perfect clarity and it is GOOD.  Every part of your being cries out for it but your puzzle pieces are scattered and make no sense.  There is no connection for any of the pieces.  Not enough time or effort has been put towards seeking the purpose and desire of the Creator for this puzzle to be able to make some sense of what it is suppose to look like.  Then all of the sudden the cover is revealed to you.  You see the end result and it is beyond anything you could have ever imagined.


Rev 21:1-8  And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.
² And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
³ And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God.
⁴ And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.
⁵ And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.
⁶ And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely.
⁷ He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.
⁸ But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.


Rev 22 1-5  And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb.
² In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.
³ And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him:
⁴ And they shall see his face; and his name shall be in their foreheads.
⁵ And there shall be no night there; and they need no candle, neither light of the sun; for the Lord God giveth them light: and they shall reign for ever and ever.


The above scripture is but a small part of GOD's Plan for you if you have enough pieces of this puzzle connected together.  In other words if you are worthy enough to be a part of it.
To have no connection to the LORD GOD is to be isolated from all that is GOOD.  This is hell.  This is the place of weeping and gnashing of teeth.  A place of outer darkness, there is no light there.

The LORD God is the light of the Universe.

John 8:12 

Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.

Matt 25:30 

And cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

Luke 13:28 

There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when ye shall see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the kingdom of God, and you yourselves thrust out.

 

 

To see this vision that the Word of GOD describes for us.... before our death from this realm of life is of most importance.  You see..........Today is the first day of the rest of your life.  You may have years or maybe its just months or maybe its just afew days.  Whatever it may be.... Please use it wisely.

You will see this puzzle completed and I pray you will be able to be in it and not just see it from a distance.

 

We are to love our brothers and in doing so we help them in any way we can.  These good deeds we do because of the GOOD that our Father in Heaven is.  The GOOD that He has given us though undeserving.  None of us deserve life eternal.  Each piece of this puzzle, if we ingest it with prayers for understanding and wisdom from GOD, He will guide us to GOODness and GODliness  which becomes our connection to HIM.  HIS purpose is that none would choose to fall.

 

 

Deu 5:29 

O that there were such an heart in them, that they would fear me, and keep all my commandments always, that it might be well with them, and with their children for ever!

 

Ezra 10:8  

And that whosoever would not come within three days, according to the counsel of the princes and the elders, all his substance should be forfeited, and himself separated from the congregation of those that had been carried away.

 

You see when we pass from this realm of life on earth to the next realm of life.......all the stuff you have accumulated in this life will not go with you.  Only what is accumulated in your heart..........your thoughts (Good or not).......your actions or deeds (Good or not).  Everything will be weighed in the balance.

 

Dan 5:27

TEKEL; Thou art weighed in the balances, and art found wanting.

 

Psa 28:4

Give them according to their deeds, and according to the wickedness of their endeavours: give them after the work of their hands; render to them their desert.

 

Jhn 3:19

And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.

 

Rev 16:11

And blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores, and repented not of their deeds.

 

When we have iniquitous thoughts we must be able to identify them immediately and turn from them.

Are you be able to identify iniquity if it entered into you?  Imagine standing before your creator absolutely naked and I mean even without any skin.  Your every everything is completely exposed before HIM.  HE gave you life and if you want to look at it truthfully.......HE has asked very little from us in return.  Imagine the shame or imagine the joy!  We must learn and learn very well what sin is!!!   When we act on these un GODly impulses or whispers it becomes sin and all sin has to be faced before the LORD God (Jesus Christ) and repented of in truth if one is to have salvation.  This is the Grace of our LORD JESUS!!!

 

Matthew 22:10-14

So those servants went out into the highways, and gathered together all as many as they found, both bad and good: and the wedding was furnished with guests.

And when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man which had not on a wedding garment:

And he saith unto him, Friend, how camest thou in hither not having a wedding garment? And he was speechless.

Then said the king to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and take him away, and cast him into outer darkness; there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

For many are called, but few are chosen.

 

Job 36:20
 Desire not the night, when people are cut off in their place.

People are cut off in their place..........whatever place you are in when you die,  this will be your place.  Watch therefore and be sure of your place in salvation.

Romans 4:16 

Therefore it is of faith, that it might be by grace; to the end the promise might be sure to all the seed; not to that only which is of the law, but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham; who is the father of us all

 

Psa 3:8

Salvation belongeth unto the LORD: thy blessing is upon thy people. Selah.

 

Psa 25:5 

Lead me in thy truth, and teach me: for thou art the God of my salvation; on thee do I wait all the day.

 

Luke 3:6 

And all flesh shall see the salvation of God.

 

 

All flesh shall see the salvation of God, let us pray and work dear brothers and sisters that we might be counted worthy of the Kingdom of GOD.

 

 

May our LORD Bless you and keep you......

Building for Eternity...

Hello Brothers and Sisters


How little we know! If only we could realize while we are yet mortals, that day by day we are building for eternity, how different our lives in many ways would be!  Every gentle word, every generous thought, every unselfish deed, will become a pillar of eternal beauty in the life to come. We cannot be selfish and unloving in one life, and generous and loving in the next;  the two lives are too closely blended—one but a continuation of the other.

What strange ideas we mortals have of the pleasures and duties of this blessed life!  We seem to think that death of the body means an entire change to the soul.  But that is not the case, by any means. We bring to eternity the same tastes, the same desires, the same knowledge we had before death.
 If these are not sufficiently pure and good to form a part of our life in eternity,  then we ourselves may not enter. What would be the use of our oft times long lives,  given to the pursuit of certain worthy and legitimate knowledge, if at death it all counts as nothing, and we begin life eternal on a wholly different line of thought and study?  I would that all could understand that we are building for eternity during our earthly life!

 The purer the thoughts, the nobler the ambitions, the loftier the aspirations, the higher the rank we take among the hosts of heaven;  the more earnestly we follow the studies and duties in our life of probation,  the better fitted we shall be to carry them forward, on and on to completion there.

Isa 57:15

For thus saith the high and lofty One that inhabiteth eternity, whose name is Holy; I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones.

 

2Co 4:17

For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory

 

 

Your very life here means everything there.  What we sow here we shall reap there.  This day is the most important day in your life.  Open your eyes to our Father in Thankfulness for your very life.  Let Him show you all Truth.  His Plan is so very beautiful and eternal and you are a part of it.  He waits for you.  Here and now on this earth and in this life is your destiny being established.  You are establishing it.  GOD has given us all the freedom to set our own future.

 

Job 4:8 

Even as I have seen, they that plow iniquity, and sow wickedness, reap the same.

 

Psa 126:5 

They that sow in tears shall reap in joy.

 

Hos 10:12 

Sow to yourselves in righteousness, reap in mercy; break up your fallow ground: for it is time to seek the LORD, till he come and rain righteousness upon you.

 

2Co 9:6 

But this I say, He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully.

 

1Ti 6:12

Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses.

 

Gal 6:8-9

For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.

And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.

 

Do Good things for all creation, whether it is a smile for someone or helping someone across the street or sharing the LORD's Word with a friend or someone who hasn't heard or cared about it.

 

1Peter 2:15

 For so is the will of God, that with well doing ye may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men

 

1Peter 4:19

Wherefore let them that suffer according to the will of God commit the keeping of their souls to him in well doing, as unto a faithful Creator.

 

Jas 3:17 

But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.

 

Tit 3:2 

To speak evil of no man, to be no brawlers, but gentle, shewing all meekness unto all men.

 

Luke 6:35 

But love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again; and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the children of the Highest: for he is kind unto the unthankful and to the evil.

 

Eph 4:32 

And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.

 

Rom 15:20-21

Yea, so have I strived to preach the gospel, not where Christ was named, lest I should build upon another man's foundation:

But as it is written, To whom he was not spoken of, they shall see: and they that have not heard shall understand.

 

2Co 5:9 

Wherefore we labour, that, whether present or absent, we may be accepted of him.

 

1Th 11-12 

And that ye study to be quiet, and to do your own business, and to work with your own hands, as we commanded you;

That ye may walk honestly toward them that are without, and that ye may have lack of nothing.

 

Let Father's Hands guide you, not man's hands.  He so wants you to see His Beautiful Plan for us all.

When in doubt just stop and pray to Him for guidance and Be Still.  If you will listen you will hear,

This is the Way.. Walk in it!!! 

 

The Scriptures listed above are so full of Mercy and Love from our Father.  Can we not do the same for our own Brothers?  GOD is kind to the unthankful and the evil.  I guess that tells us where His heart is.  If our Father is doing that could we not do the same?

Our Best Worship is to do His Blessed Will!  Our Father never forgets us, but provides pleasures and comforts for us all, according to our Individual needs.
Be ever Thankful for all your Blessings He has surrounded you with.  They are more than you can even imagine.  His will in your life is perfect for you and trust that His love and tenderness surrounds you always.  Everything that happens in your life is for a purpose.  Embrace it.........learn from it..........relish in it.  Know that there is a reason for it and look upon it from His perspective for the growth and understanding for you.

GOD's Love has given and done so much for us that an eternity of thanksgiving and praise could never repay it.
Growing in the Spirit of Truth out of the love for it and the desire for it to fill your very being.  Not to study and labor with it out of some feeling of duty.  It is an honor and such a joy to have been provided by our Father the Spirit of HIS TRUTH, for us to be Blessed enough to be able to have access to such is a joy beyond our comprehension.  If we could only understand that this TRUTH is reality,  we would spend every hour of our life here seeking and soaking in this TRUTH!  Keeping within us the patience needed to wait for HIM to reveal to us when HE knows we are ready to receive these Truths and absorb them into our very being.  Our Father in Heaven delights to give us such things and watches our growth in HIM with love.
 

Jhn 14:2

In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.

 

2Co 5:1

For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, an house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.

 

Psa 127:1 Except the LORD build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the LORD keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain.

 

Psa 52:8 

But I am like a green olive tree in the house of God: I trust in the mercy of God for ever and ever.

 

Psa 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, to behold the beauty of the LORD, and to enquire in his temple.

 

Pro 24:3

Through wisdom is an house builded; and by understanding it is established:

 

Psa 5:7

But as for me, I will come into thy house in the multitude of thy mercy: and in thy fear will I worship toward thy holy temple.

Brothers and Sisters as you can see in John 14 our LORD JESUS has prepared a place for us.  This place is built by our LORD and kept by Him.   There will in no way sin enter in.  A place we can live eternal in His Peace and Glory, so perfect in every way we have no words to describe it.  I look at the most beautiful creations on this earth and wonder,  how could there be any more beauty than this?
But I know in my heart that this is just a glimpse of what our Father has for us.

Rev 21:4-7

And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.

And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.

And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely.

He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.

 

Heb 3:19

So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief.

 

Open your heart to its very beginnings, way back when you knew where you came from and who gave you life.  The LORD God, JESUS of Nazareth is there.  He is the beginning and the end.

He cannot help you if you are in unbelief.  Even when He was here in the flesh,  all is by choice.

 

Mat 13:58

And he did not many mighty works there because of their unbelief.

 

So you see we are now this very moment building for our eternity.  Whether you believe it or not every thought, action or deed is recorded in your very soul and will be played out one day.  We all have sinned and this is the very reason that Father came to earth in a very special begotten vessel has JESUS CHRIST to willingly give HIS Blood to atone for our sin that we might live.  You see the life is in the blood.

 

Lev 17:11

For the life of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that maketh an atonement for the soul.

 

Our Father who art in Heaven Blessed is He,  what more could He have done folks?  I know of no greater Love...Do you??   He is the living GOD of which there is NO OTHER!!!

 

HE is not made of sticks or stones or anything else that man has constructed to represent some god for them.  Making promises that will not be fulfilled.  GOD's Word is alive and His promises are true and He fulfills them all.  He has proved in the flesh, before our very eyes of resurrection and life.  No other god has done this or will do this.  Ascending to Heaven after resurrection before our eyes.  There is no other that loves you as HE loves you.

 

Build your eternity now my friends while you still can.  In doing so you are sharing this Living Word with all you meet.  GOD's Plans are fulfilling as we speak,  you are a part of that in one way or another.  Listen with your heart and you will hear...........

 

This is the Way........Walk in it

 

 

Be Blessed my friends...

 

 

 

 

Spiritually Lazy...

Hello Brothers and Sisters...

Spiritually Lazy?

What does that mean??  I think its self explanatory,  we say,  I have enough to deal with just surviving day to day in this world.
Exactly................in this world!  Remember IF you belong to LORD JESUS CHRIST we live in this world but are not OF this world.   That means your focus (desire, time in thought spent) is not spending valuable time on the things of this world.  Your time is a very precious gift.  You only get so much of it,  and you have no idea how much of it you have.  You might have a mere 80 yrs of life on this planet or you might have even less.  Every moment is a gift and we'd better use it wisely.
A Human beings life of 70 yrs is not a drop in a bucket when compared to life eternal. 

We have a huge handicap in this world......... this handicap is a an gigantic black cloud covering the entire earth.  This blackness is so heavy and encumbering that it starts its assault on us at a very young age.  Those of us not born into families that have very strong roots in the TRUTH of our LORD JESUS CHRIST, have a very arduous journey making our way thru the mire and tar of the blackness, which by the way is the absence of Light.  We grow up immersed in the world and soon realize that in order to be happy we have to have all this stuff to entertain us.  We learn by watching what others do to attain all the stuff of happiness.  We have a plethora of examples to learn from...TV, school, church, music, movies, games just to mention afew.  Good grief......what chance does a child have to see and learn of the GOODNESS that is our GOD without at least equal time allotted.  In this day and age I would say there is very little if any of the GOODNESS which is GOD involved in the above examples.

So here we are at whatever age we happen to be when we begin to realize that these things of happiness are not what they were presented to us to be.  Its a tough confrontation within us to face the truth and figure out what is the truth.
If we are so blessed to live long enough to get to this point and have a chance to really seek the truth.
Granted those born in families with strong roots, deep in the truth have a blessing of which few really realize in the beginning of their journey.  BUT........Thank you GOD,  there is hope for all of us.
No matter how many scars, no matter how many wounds, no matter how many falls there is AMAZING GRACE waiting for you! 

The circumstances of our lives will always bring to us opportunity to see above the black cloud into the SONshine.  The opportunity to see the results of our choices and turn ourselves to the narrow path of which few choose.  If we aren't lazy with our time.

Then we can actually begin to open our hearts to real truth...........GOD's Truth!!!
GOD is Spirit therefore HIS Truth begins with Spirit. 

First we have to understand that the realm of the Spiritual is just as much if not more a part of our lives than the physical realm.  We are in fact spiritual beings inside a beautiful physical body created just for us.  You know the old saying if you don't use it you will lose it, well this is true for our Spirituality also.  To acknowledge your own spirituality is key to growing in it. 

All creation began in and of GOD's Spirit, it was preformed and thru HIS Word, HIS Power the LORD JESUS CHRIST went forth and performed HIS desire.  We are a part of HIS desire, how wonderful is that!

John 3:12

If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you of heavenly things?

It is the flesh that blinds us.  It is that desire of self that keeps us from seeing and hearing the spiritual.  JESUS taught us to love one another as HE has loved us.  Before HE made that final sacrifice for us HE told us HE would send the "Comforter"   HE told us HE would never leave us alone.  We make that choice as to if we want HIM and all HE is within us.

Lam 1:16

For these things I weep; mine eye, mine eye runneth down with water, because the comforter that should relieve my soul is far from me: my children are desolate, because the enemy prevailed.

 

Jhn 14:16

And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;

 

Jhn 14:26

But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.

 

Jhn 15:26

But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me:

 

If we choose not to fill our souls with the Spirit of Truth we will open the door to the spirit of lies.  The spiritual occupies all. We are spiritual beings.  Spirit takes up no space and many spirits can fill a vehicle.  If your house is swept clean and you don't fill it with the Spirit of Truth,  the spirit of lies will jump all over it and bring his friends.

Mat 12:43-45
 When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest, and findeth none.

Then he saith, I will return into my house from whence I came out; and when he is come, he findeth it empty, swept, and garnished.

Then goeth he, and taketh with himself seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter in and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first. Even so shall it be also unto this wicked generation.

 

The spirit of lies comes from one place, the father of lies as declared by FATHER GOD has JESUS CHRIST

 

Jhn 8:42-44

Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but he sent me.

Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word.

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.

 

Shortly after making the choice to follow Satan and leave their own place in Heaven, the Fallen Angels did initiate their own creation of Aliens to satisfy their very own desire to have

their own heritage of creatures within the Universe that could represent their own being thru out the Universe.  Creatures that could be used to compete with GOD's own Human creation of Children in the Universe.

They were not created out of the dust of the earth as GOD's own creation of Human Children were, they were not given the breath of the LORD God to become a living soul.

 

Gen 2:7

And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.

 

They are created out of the biological and chemical make up of their Fallen Angel parents. Therefore they have no soul nor can they create a soul, they are clones of their parents.

They have been abducting and experimenting on Human beings for millennia in search of how to create a soul that they might have a chance as Human beings do for eternal life.

 

GOD's own decision to allow the Fallen Angels to introduce their creation of Aliens to take place upon any Wayward planet is predicated upon two very important factors:

 

1. When the degree of Knowledge & Good which is gained by man concerning their surroundings and themselves does become so influenced by Sin, that it becomes unable to be used for the betterment of God's Good and themselves upon their Planet but becomes used has a weapon of Blindness, demise, and destruction!

 

2. When the degree of Spiritual Blindness towards God Himself, His Knowledge and His Good does become accepted and enhanced by the actions and activities of Sin upon Planets, so too does this in turn cause for the attaining of 'Sons Of God' on those Planets, to become very much deeply limited!

 

 At this point man is ready for more sophisticated deception concerning GOD, His GODliness, the Fallen Angels and their Alien children.  They desperately don't want you to know their agenda or even who they are or where they came from or that they even exist!   If you become aware of them or even seek them they want you to think they are your friend, here to help mankind.  They are not your friend, they want nothing more than to see you destroyed as they will be on judgment day. 

They live within the confines of GOD's parameters for them just as all creation does. 

 

GOD's Holy Word warns us of them...

 

Jer 8:17

For, behold, I will send serpents, cockatrices, among you, which will not be charmed, and they shall bite you, saith the LORD.

 

Psa 54:8

Their poison is like the poison of a serpent: they are like the deaf adder that stoppeth her ear;

 

Num 21:6

And the LORD sent fiery serpents among the people, and they bit the people; and much people of Israel died.

The fruits of the Spirit of GOD are love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.  These are your fruits when you choose to abide in the Truth of GOD.
When your spirit is joined with your Creator's Spirit these good fruits will you project to your brothers and you will feel them within your very being.

The counterfeit of these fruits are what fill you when you are spiritually oppressed.  Examples can be:

Affection shown to others for selfish reasons, Despair and a lack of or fear of hope,  Excitement and happiness that exists only when things are good leading to mood swings.  Happiness not in God but in what he brings.  Worry and anxiety, Bitterness and resentment toward God that manifests itself in agitation or outright expressions of anger with others.   Self-righteous cynicism that pretends concern is unspiritual.

 The inability to rejoice in the good happening to others.   Hypocrisy, phoniness, and insincerity.  Being honest in an insensitive way without love.  Insincerity that pretends to be sincere.  Being ‘loving’ without any concern for truth.  Being loyal out of self-righteous pride leading to an unwillingness to address wrongs.  Thinking you are superior leading to self-absorption and self-promotion that crushes others.  Insecurity that is self-absorbed so that words of self-deprecation are said so that others affirm us.   Impulsive living in the moment.  Using willpower to stay disciplined resulting in pride over your accomplishment.

These are some of the ways we can identify within ourselves spiritual oppression and then take steps to consciously change our view and manner.  Identifying this behavior is the first step to ridding yourself of it.
Oppression is the exercise of authority or power in a burdensome, cruel, or unjust manner.

You have the LORD's power (His Spirit) within you to overcome all these things and more.  JESUS lived an example for us to follow.  GOD created a vehicle and came to earth physically has JESUS CHRIST to show us WE CAN OVERCOME SIN!!!  He lived and fulfilled the GOOD COVENANT (Ten Commandments) given us to provide a manner of GOODness and GODliness to live in.  Rewarding those that understand and walk in GOD's GOOD with eternal life. 

Jhn 16:33

These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.

If man chooses to disregard or not care much about the Spirit of GOD that created ALL THINGS including us then why should GOD care about him??  Why would GOD want a spirit that has no regard or thankfulness or wisdom or understanding about anything of GOD's Plan for all creation nor the desire to know.

Why would GOD want a human being that not only disregards HIS GOODness but chooses to act and dwell in and of everything that is opposing HIS Creation and GOODness and Life!!!

Think about it...........If YOU had created all this wondrous universe and created living life within it.   The love and care and time taken to make all things work perfectly together within it to provide everything needed to sustain life.
 Then over time the children you created with Intellect and Glories of great measure... growing very arrogant and filled with a spirit of entitlement ........... forgetting where they really came from and refusing to acknowledge this gift of life or more importantly the ONE TRUE LIVING GOD. Willfully lacking the desire to work and help their brother in any way to continue to grow.  Their houses have become filled with spirits that want to kill, steal and destroy.

Would you allow any degree of this spirit to spread in the wondrous universe teeming with life and beauty that you had created?  Like an infectious disease creeping into the flesh and spirit of man.
I think not............neither will our Father in Heaven.

  For those without a strong immune system,  roots deep in the Fathers Truth the deception will be too much and with no foundation of Truth how can you not be deceived?
Remember the fallen angels and their minions have been around for many thousands and thousands of years in man's time,  they have seen many downfalls of mankind and what works and doesn't work in aiding this process to destroy as many souls of men as possible from becoming "Sons of GOD"

Sighting and accepting this reality of GOD's Spirit and HIS Spiritual Ability does afford us the ability to truly sight things of, in and surrounding our own Spirits in existence which directly relates to the Spiritual world around us.
This acceptance better allows us to apply the knowledge of GOD's Spiritual Ability to our own Spiritual existence.  It allows us to better understand our own Spiritual reality relevant to GOD's own Spiritual reality.  It allows us to better bond and relate our own Spiritual existence to and with the things that GOD has undertaken Spiritually and Physically.

No existence of Intellectual Life is able to survive Long-Term without the acceptance and assimilation of that positive nature of GOD's Knowledge of and in what is GOOD, or what is not GOOD being established fully within their very existence and being! 

Being Spiritually lazy is what we all have done or are doing now.  As long as we are alive on this earth there is hope to grow and learn.  If we truly seek for Truth, We will find it. 
The Spiritual World is more real and more alive than you could ever imagine.  Use the Spiritual to interpret the Physical not the Physical to interpret the Spiritual.


Thank you for listening...
Love and Blessings...
