AWAITING!! Watching & Praying

ACCORDING TO YOUR OWN HEART

Psalm 20:4 Grant You according to Your Own heart, and fulfil all Your counsel.

Wow, this really struck out at me this morning. How many times do we pray to God to give us the desires of our heart? How many times do we pray for such "petty things" in our life, and never once consider what He wants, what He desires? Do we ever stop and consider what is well-pleasing to Him?

Holy Father, I pray You will forgive us for walking about like spoiled, rotten brats, wanting this, wanting that! Cleanse Your people from the error of our way. Lord God, this morning I want You! My only desire is to be in Your Presence! I pray with my whole heart that Your Will be done on earth as it is in Heaven!! Instead of granting us our "silly" petitions, may we all give our hearts and lives to Grant unto You, LORD God, according to Your Own Heart, that Your counsel will be fulfilled!

For Jesus Christ came to seek and to save that which was lost. It is not The Lord's Will that any should perish, but that all should come to Repentance. Holy Father, right now, I pray for the lost of the entire world, that they will receive the Message of The Gospel and be Saved!!! Yes, I pray the "lost man" will be found. May someone, somewhere this morning began to sing....

" Amazing Grace... how sweet the sound... that saved a wretch like me.... I once was lost, but now I'm found, was blind, but now... I see!!!!!!!!!" Amen and Amen.

It Is The Father's Good Pleasure!

Luke 12:22-32 And He said unto His Disciples, Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what you shall eat; neither for the body, what you shall put on. The life is more than meat, and the body is more than raiment. Consider the ravens: for they neither sow nor reap; which have neither storehouse nor barn; and God feeds them: how much more are you better than the fowls? And which of you with taking thought can add to his stature one cubit? If you then be not able to do that thing which is least, why take you thought for the rest? Consider the lilies how they grow: they toil not, they spin not; and yet I say unto you, that Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. If then God so clothe the grass, which is today in the field, and tomorrow is cast into the oven; how much more will He clothe you, O ye of little faith? And seek not ye what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink, neither be ye of doubtful mind. For all these things do the nations of the world seek after: and your Father knows that you have need of these things. But rather seek ye the Kingdom of God; and all these things shall be added unto you. Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the Kingdom.

This has brought much tears to my eyes, I am overwhelmed with His Awesome Presence as I feel His Love and Mercy and Grace this morning! It is The Father's Good Pleasure to give unto you Everlasting Life, it is His Good Pleasure to give unto you joy unspeakable! It is His Good Pleasure to give unto you life and give it to you more abundantly! It is Your Father's Will for you not to seek after the things the world seeks after. It is your Father's Will for you not to have little faith in Him! As He does clothe the grass, how much more will He clothe you? Do not insult His Care for you with the worries and cares of this life. For this life is fading away quickly and He is coming for those who have a burning desire to be with Him.

You know you are ready, when nothing this world has to offer, appeals to you anymore. You know you are ready when nothing, outside the Presence of God, can satisfy your hungry soul. You know you are ready when this world is not your home, I'm just passing through! I am looking for a city, whose builder and maker is God and I know I'm a stranger and pilgrim on this earth. I desire a country, that is an Heavenly, and I know by Faith God is not ashamed of me. For He has prepared for us a city!! For one day very soon, The Lord Jesus Christ will bring down the New Jerusalem where He will forever reign as King of kings and Lord of lords, and wherein will dwell Holiness and Righteousness.

Yes your life is more than meat and your body more than clothes. If you have tasted the Good Word of God, then your life should be about Him, the Author and Finisher of our Faith. O Praise God for His Mercy endures forever! I can testify if you will only seek after His Righteousness and His Kingdom first, and pay tithes into His Storehouse, that He will open unto you the windows of Heaven and pour you out such a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it! Praise His Holy Name and let out a shout, a loud Pentecostal shout, for He is worthy to be praised!

Remember Jesus said not to have a doubtful mind! Only believe His promises are sure and true and will come to pass. Let us love The Lord our God with all our hearts, soul, mind, and strength and love our neighbors as ourselves, for this is well pleasing to God! Amen.

WOE, WOE, WOE!!!

Rev. 18:4-8 And I heard another voice from Heaven, saying, Come out of her, My people, that you be not partakers of her sins, and that you receive not of her plagues. For her sins have reached unto Heaven, and God has remembered her iniquities. Reward her even as she rewarded you, and double unto her double according unto her works: in the cup which she has filled fill to her double. How much she has glorified herself, and lived deliciously, so much torment and sorrow give her: for she said in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow. Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong is the Lord who judges her.

Babylon is a literal city that will be rebuilt! It was no accident that former President George Bush sent our troops to Iraq and helped to change the government there. God used him as an instrument in fulfilling prophecy. In the last days Babylon will be the Capital of evil and the habitation of demon spirits. Not only is it a literal city, but also represents false religions of the entire world.

Now to this country, the "good ole U.S.A." What is good about it anymore? This is not a Christian nation as a whole and people have turned their backs on God. Oh they serve a god alright, the god of their own selves. America's mentality is "me, me, me" and how one can please their own fleshly lusts.

Sins and abominations against God, our Father of Mercies and our Savior Jesus Christ, are before His Eyes and The Judgments of The Almighty are ready to be poured out. The swine flu, which is just but one plague, is nothing compared to the death, mourning, and famine that is about to take place.

For strong is The Lord God who judges evil and wicked men who legalize sodomites for marriage! The cities of Sodom and Gomorrah were your examples. For strong is The Lord God who judges wicked Doctors who suck live babies from a Mother's womb. Yeah, I say woe to the ones who hold up their signs supporting a woman's right to choose. May I add, strong is the Lord God who judges wicked and deceitful men who drive their young wives to have their first born to "pass through the fire" for their own evil desires. Woe is you, you mighty hypocrite!!

For strong is The Lord God who judges those who lay heavy and grievous burdens upon the honest working men and yet, freely hand out to those who are called minorities. Yes, woe to those who "think" they are entitled to government funding (taking the honest's man's taxes) In reality these people are heathens, too sorry to lift a finger and work, which God has ordained. The Bible says if a man will not work, he shall not eat!

For strong is The Lord God Almighty who will judge the leaders and unjust Judges of this nation. They have taken the Authority of the Holy Bible, The Word of God out of public offices and out of our Schools. And this nation wonders why it's going under? Woe unto State courts for supporting the homosexual (sodomy, I call it what it is!) agenda and pushing acceptance of their wicked, perverse, and evil lifestyle down our children's throats. His Wrath will come upon you in an hour you think not!!!!!

Yes your sins have reached unto Heaven and God has remembered your iniquities. God's answer to man's rebellion will be your own destruction. You have not regarded The Lord God who bought you with The Precious Blood of The Lamb. You have chosen to forsake the Word of God and to obey His Holy Commandments. You have treaded underfoot the Son of God and have counted the Blood of The Covenant an unholy thing. You have done despite unto The Spirit of Grace and have continued to walk in your evil ways and the thoughts of your evil imaginations.

For strong is The Lord God Almighty who will judge first and foremost Preachers and Teachers of His Word. You will be held accountable for what kind of Gospel you preached. Did you lead people to The Lord Jesus Christ or did you lead them astray with false doctrine and a false way? Have you Preached the whole Counsel of God and warned the people of the coming wrath of the Lamb of God? Will you be able to stand before The King of kings and Lord of lords and boldly declare, "Lord, I tickled no man's ears!"

You think the economy is bad now? You have not seen anything yet! Unless you repent, Thus saith The Lord, If I shut up Heaven that there be no rain, or if I command the locusts to devour the land, or if I send pestilence among My people. (2 Chron. 7:13) Make no mistake friends, The Lord does such things, all because of sin, it is always because of stinking, filthy sin!

But America listen up, for the Lord says, If My people, which are called by My Name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways; then I will hear from Heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.

So how about it, do you want His Cup of Wrath or His Cup of Blessing? You choose, after all, it is your God given right. But just remember one thing.... For we know Him who has said, Vengeance belongs unto Me, I will recompense, says The Lord. And again, The Lord shall judge His people. It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of The Living God.

In closing, as the Angel from Heaven spoke out, so I speak out, Come out of her, that you be not partakers of her sins and that you receive not of her plagues. Believers you better depart from the world's ways, In Jesus Name I pray, Amen.

TRUTH FROM THE LATE GREAT

PROPHET: AW TOZER

Preaching: Truth Divorced From Life

But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. --James 1:22

There is scarcely anything so dull and meaningless as Bible doctrine taught for its own sake. Truth divorced from life is not truth in its Biblical sense, but something else and something less....

No man is better for knowing that God in the beginning created the heaven and the earth. The devil knows that, and so did Ahab and Judas Iscariot. No man is better for knowing that God so loved the world of men that He gave His only begotten Son to die for their redemption. In hell there are millions who know that. Theological truth is useless until it is obeyed. The purpose behind all doctrine is to secure moral action....

Any man with fair pulpit gifts can get on with the average congregation if he just "feeds" them and lets them alone. Give them plenty of objective truth and never hint that they are wrong and should be set right, and they will be content.

On the other hand, the man who preaches truth and applies it to the lives of his hearers will feel the nails and the thorns. He will lead a hard life, but a glorious one. May God raise up many such prophets. The church needs them badly. Of God and Men, 25-28.

A TIME OF REFESHING!!

Acts 4:31 And when they had prayed, the place was shaken where they were assembled together; and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and they spoke the Word of God with boldness.

Oh Hallelujah and Praise the Lord, THANK YOU, THANK

YOU, THANK YOU, JESUS FOR THAT

REFRESHING. FOR THE MIGHTY

INFILLING OF THE HOLY GHOST!!!!!!!!!

Sunday night was a time of refreshing indeed. My Lord Jesus Christ gave me a dose of the Holy Ghost! I can't stop praising HIM for that. God is good, all the time!! The Lord has energized me in a mighty way. Last night was proof of that, as I taught my class with a greater enthusiasm and joy about the Prophet Moses.

I want to tell the whole world to rise up and seek to be filled with the Holy Ghost, because that, and that alone is the cure for the "ails" of man. Sunday night was not about me. I went to the Altar to pray for others. The Lord impressed upon The Preacher Man to stand in front of me and pray that I would receive a fresh infilling of the Holy Ghost. The whole place may not have been shaken, but this little woman was shaken mightily!!

Thank You Holy Father for Your great Mercy and Love, Thank You Lord Jesus for Salvation, Eternal Life, the Mighty Baptism of The Holy Ghost, and Thank You Holy Spirit for infilling me and teaching and guiding me into all Truth.

Holy Father, I pray You will send Your people a mighty wave of Your Spirit. May You come alive once again in peoples' hearts, that they will stand up and give You all the Praise and Glory. Make your people aware of this great and awesome reality... Romans 14:17 For the Kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but Righteousness, and Peace and Joy in the Holy Spirit. vs. 18 For he who in these things serves Christ is acceptable to God and approved of men. - Have Joy in the Holy Ghost, In Jesus Name I pray, Amen.

THE LAW OF FAITH

Mt. 9:29 Then touched He their eyes, saying, According to your Faith be it unto you.

Oh how my very soul yearns within me, greatly desiring that God's people would get a hold in their spirits the Awesome Power and Authority that is in The Name of our Lord Jesus Christ!

I have witnessed so many sick people with different ailments and diseases. Some have suffered greatly, some have left this world in misery, great pain and suffering. I see others around me who are still fighting the battle, and I sense a doubt in their spirits. And they all say the same thing, pray for me. I pray my very heart and soul out before the Lord God, that Christians will have Faith as a grain of mustard seed. With that grain, they can claim complete and total healing in their bodies, so that God Almighty will receive the Praise and Glory. For nothing shall be impossible with Him!!

Mt. 21:21 Jesus answered and said unto them, Verily I say unto you, If you have Faith, and doubt not, you shall not only do this which is done to the fig tree, but also if you shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; it shall be done. Verse 22 And all things, whatsoever you shall ask in prayer, believing, you shall receive.

Child of God, place your Faith in The Cross. Let it rest in Christ and Him Crucified, do not trust in anything else! Every morning you arise, be mindful of what Jesus done for you and me at Calvary! When God sees you are trusting in His Finished Work, He will enable you, by the Power of The Holy Ghost to walk and talk a most victorious, overcoming life. OH Hallelujah! Give God some Praise!!

When a sickness comes upon you, REMOVE IT in the Name of Jesus. Do not ever allow Doctors and pessimistic doubting Thomas' to put fear and doubt into your minds! Jesus rebuked His Disciples for having doubt, for having fear, for not believing in Him.

Whatsoever you shall ask in prayer, believing you shall receive. Now we all know, if it is not according to God's Will, we will not receive. Oh, but for us to be in good health, well it's my understanding that it is The Father's Will. For the Third Epistle of John 2 reads, Beloved, I wish above all things that you may prosper, and be in health, even as your soul prospers. - Psalms 103:3 Who forgives all your iniquities; who heals all your diseases.

Why don't you rise up, right now, and reach out to The Great Physician. Reach out and touch, by Faith, The Border of His Garment. Hallelujah! We read in Mark where Jesus heals many sick people. As a matter of fact if you will only read the Gospels, you will find He healed all who came unto Him! Mark 6:53:56 And when they had passed over, they came into the land of Gennesaret, and drew near to the shore. And when they were come out of the ship, straightway they knew Him, and ran through that whole region round about, and began to carry about in beds those who were sick, where they heard He was. And whithersoever He entered, into villages, or cities, or country, they laid the sick in the streets, and besought Him that they might touch if it were but the border of His garment: and as many as touched Him were made whole.

Oh Praise The Name of Our Lord Jesus Christ, our Healer, Deliverer, soon coming King, Alfa, Omega, Lord of Everything!!! Holy, Holy, Holy is Your Name.....

Do you want to be made whole? No really, do you honestly, with everything in you, with every ounce of energy in your body, desire with your whole being to be made whole? Have Faith.

As Jesus said to the woman with the issue of blood and to blind

Bartimaeus. GO YOUR WAY; YOUR FAITH HAS

MADE YOU WHOLE!

Holy Father I pray in the Name of Jesus Christ that You will give your people, who call upon Your Name, Faith, as You have given unto me. That they will know and believe with their whole hearts the healing power in The Name of Jesus. Send Your Holy Spirit as The Teacher and Comforter to quicken Your people this day, that they may once again see and hear of Your Great Miracle Working Power. Thank You Father for Salvation, Thank You for Your many and mighty blessings You have bestowed upon us. For we know without You we would have nothing or be nothing. We give You all the Praise and Glory for the roof over our heads, the clothes on our backs, the food upon our tables, our income, and our GOOD HEALTH!! We thank You for the trees, the green grass, the butterflies, the song birds, and the beautiful blue skies, just for everything Lord, in Jesus Name I pray Amen.

"ASLEEP ON A PILLOW"

Mark 4:37-38 And there arose a great storm of wind, and the waves beat into the ship, so that it was now full. And He was in the hinder part of the ship, asleep on a pillow: and they awake Him, and say unto Him, Master, carest Thou not that we perish?

Carest thou not that we perish? Wow, His own Disciples did not get who Jesus Christ was. Not only could He heal all manner of sickness and disease, as well as cast demon spirits out of man, but Praise be to God, He was also THE MASTER OF THE WIND and THE MAKER OF THE RAIN! They would soon discover they had no reason to fear the passing storm, but would exceedingly fear The Lord Jesus Christ, who said, Peace be still! And instantly the wind ceased, and there was a great calm.

Personally, I've been afraid many times at night, when the "storm of darkness" sets in. I have also asked the same question, carest thou not that we are home alone scared? Not only am I a wife and mother but have been forced to be the "protector" of my home and child at night going on eleven years. Once you experience the terror of a robbery, it puts you into a greater awareness of the evil that truly surrounds you. You are in a constant "watchman" mode. Fear overshadowed me for years, fearing someone was going to bust down our back door again. The dogs barking would immediately get me up and looking out the window trying to see if someone was out there.

Do you know I realized that was no way to live! After unsuccessful attempts of pleading with my husband to work day shift, I resolved to the fact that my Lord Jesus is our Protector and that no weapon that is formed against me shall prosper!!

Sometimes at night my daughter and I can still get shook up from unexpected sounds or from a simple bark from the dog. That is nothing more than fear trying to drawn out the sound of my Master saying, Peace, Be Still. Every night I say the same prayer before I go to sleep. "Heavenly Father protect us from all manner of evil that surrounds us, protect us from anyone breaking in on us, place your hedge of protection about us because I know only evil and wickedness is in the darkness. I pray that we will sleep safe and sound tonight and we will wake up in the morning safe and sound, in Jesus name I pray, Amen."

At night only by the Comfort and Presence of the Holy Ghost can I lay my head down and fall asleep on my pillow. As the Disciples were on that boat with Jesus, we who are saved and called, are on a journey with Christ. We cannot perish, because He will sustain us. He will say Peace, be still and most assuredly, there will be a great calm. The same question Jesus asked then, He is asking now, why are you so fearful? How is it you have no faith?

I think that broke my Lord's heart more than anything, and that is us not having faith in Him. When the storms of life start approaching you, may you calmly retire into the hinder part of the ship and be found asleep on a pillow. In Jesus Name I pray, Amen.

HIGH MORAL STANDARDS

Ephesians 4:17-32 This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that you henceforth walk not as other Gentiles walk, in the vanity of their mind, having the understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart: Who being past feeling have given themselves over unto lasciviousness [ a complete surrender of self unto evil ], to work all uncleanness with greediness. But you have not so learned Christ; If so be that you have heard Him, and have been taught by Him, as the Truth is in Jesus: That you put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts; and be renewed in the spirit of your mind; and that you put on the new man, which after God is created in Righteousness and true Holiness. Wherefore putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbour: for we are members one of another. Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath: Neither give place to the Devil. Let him who stole steal no more: but rather let him labour, working with his hands the thing which is good, that he may have to give to him who needs. Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may Minister Grace unto the hearers. And grieve not the Holy Spirit of God, whereby you are sealed unto the Day of Redemption. Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice: And be you kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake has forgiven you.

Eph. 5:1-8 Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children; And walk in love, as Christ also has loved us, and has given Himself for us an Offering and a Sacrifice to God for a sweet smelling Savour. But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not be once named among you, as becometh Saints; Neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not convenient [out of character]: but rather giving of thanks. For this you know, that no whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, has any inheritance in the Kingdom of Christ and of God. Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things comes the Wrath of God upon the children of disobedience. Be not ye therefore partakers with them. For you were sometimes darkness, but now are you light in the Lord: walk as children of Light:

Therefore, in these last days, we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things which we have heard. Hebrews 2:1 tells us, lest at any time we should let them slip.

Today draw near with a true heart in full assurance of Faith, having your heart sprinkled from an evil conscience and hold fast the profession of your Faith without wavering. May we consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works.

Almighty God did not call us and save us to walk and talk like the unredeemed, who refuse to repent and live for the Lord Jesus Christ. He said be renewed in the spirit of your mind and put on the new man! He has shown you, O man, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God [Micah 6:8]

This my friend is the results of true Salvation. May all Believers truly understand this, in Jesus Name I pray Amen.

GOD'S KINGDOM

Romans 14:17-19 For the Kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but Righteousness, and Peace, and Joy in the Holy Spirit. For he who in these things serves Christ is acceptable to God, and approved of men. Let us therefore follow after the things which make for Peace, and things wherewith one may edify another.

This is what it is all about. Pure Holiness and Joy filled my soul as I read these Verses this morning. Being apart of the Body of Christ is not about rules and regulations. It is not about murmuring, complaining, and back-biting one another. It is not fighting and quarreling over place or position in your Church.

If everyone could just step back, take a deep breath, and saturate yourself in the Word of God, then you will know Righteousness, and Peace, and Joy in the Holy Ghost. Our righteousness is through the Faith of Christ, the Righteousness which is of God by Faith. Where does our Peace come from? Romans 5:1 Therefore being Justified by Faith we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. Joy we have, because the Comforter has come! Jesus clearly stated when He went away that He would send the Holy Spirit unto you. Indeed He did!! The Pentecostal Experience is for everyone who desires to be filled with His Presence. That is our Strength, our Joy, our Hope. Furthermore, we can rejoice with Joy unspeakable and full of Glory because we believe upon Him whom we have not seen. Praise the Lord!

Yes, most definitely if we serve the Lord Jesus Christ in this capacity, we will be acceptable to God and approved of men! We will not have to worry what is going on around us, for we know we are doing those things that are right and pleasing in His Sight.

Walking according to this rule and being led by the Holy Ghost, we each will follow after things which make for peace, wherewith a sound mind, we can with Godliness and boldness edify one another. In Jesus Name I pray, Amen.

WAKE UP!!

Isaiah 56:10 His watchman are blind: they are all ignorant, they are all dumb dogs,

they cannot bark; sleeping, lying down, loving to slumber. vs.11 Yea, they are

greedy dogs which can never have enough, and they are shepherds who cannot

understand: they all look to their own way, everyone for his gain, from his quarter.

( Israel lost her way because of these "blind watchmen" - Preachers! These "dumb

dogs that cannot bark" means they do not Preach the Truth of God's Word nor do

they warn of false doctrine. vs.11 simply means they do not have the spiritual

discernment which would enable them to lead people aright. They are worldly and

not spiritually minded, they are greedy after gain.)

Holy Father, I pray you will give your people discernment to know the True Prophet

among them from the false shepherds who are leading them astray. Lord Your Word

declares plainly that we are sinners and our righteousness are as filthy rags. Sinners

must repent of their wicked ways and ask Jesus Christ to forgive them of their sins.

The Doctrine of Jesus Christ is not a "feel good" Gospel. I will not pat you on the

back and say, 'ok my child your sins be forgiven you.' No, if you are walking in a

lifestyle of sin and serving divers lusts then you shall not partake in God's Holiness.

For we serve a Holy God and He looks away from sin.

Woe to the Preachers who corrupt the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hold the

Truth in unrighteousness. If you are not pointing souls to the Cross, to the shed

Blood of Christ, then you are a FALSE PROPHET. The Christian life is all about

Jesus Christ, and what He did! Whatever we do in this life should be done with the

intention of bringing glory to His Name, and not ourselves. I plead with people to

understand we are justified by faith. Titus 3:5 declares, 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 Spirit; vs6-7 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 Christian walk was

made possible because of what He did at the Cross. Do not ever forget that it was His

Work that He finished for you. You can enter into His Rest (He.4:10) and cease from

anything or anyone who would try to pull you away from the Cross of Christ.

Do not be fooled, do not be led astray. There are many speakers, so called, who are

telling pleasant words to tickle your ears, to make you feel good about yourself. The

Bible says we are to die to self. We are never to feel good about ourselves if we are

apart from Christ. Those self esteem promoters out there are deceivers, they are

trying to make you believe a lie. You are to die to pride, self will, selfishness, self

esteem, and all things that would cause you to think about yourself and not God.

Matthew 16:24-25 says, Then said Jesus unto His Disciples, If any man will come

after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me. For whosoever

will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for My sake shall find it.

The problem with a majority of people today is that they only want to take up that

"little cross" that hangs so pretty around their neck and follow the "Dr. Feel Goods"

of this world. They have no desire to follow the one who will reprove and rebuke you

of your sins and unholy way of living. God forbid for that topic to be preached on a

Sunday Morning. The Pastor of a 1000 member plus congregation in the Modern

Church might loose the majority of its people, not to mention the tithes coming into

the Church. God forbid that a Pastor might actually say something that might

offend the "good brother or sister." People this is the day we are living in, where the

Gospel is being compromised. Our world is all about quanity and not quality. Forgive us Lord.

Isaiah 56:11 speaks of the Preachers who are greedy dogs which can never have

enough, they are shepherds who cannot understand, they all look to their own way,

every one for his gain. I'm afraid one too many have made the 'CALLING OF

GOD' into a 'PROFESSION OF GOD.' This money Gospel has to be stopped in the

Name of Jesus Christ. 1Timothy 6:3-5 If any man teach otherwise, and consent not

to wholesome words, even the Words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the Doctrine

which is according to Godliness; He is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about

questions and strifes of words, whereof comes envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings,

Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the Truth, supposing

that gain is Godliness: from such withdraw yourself. (Have no dealings with these

Preachers) We should be grounded in this Truth: vs 6-8 But Godliness with

contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain

we can carry nothing out. And having food and raiment let us be therewith content.

(You will not here this from those big-wigs on TV, they Preach something else)

It sickens me this morning to think of Shepherds who look to their own way, for his

own gain. The True Shepherd, Jesus Christ, was a Servant unto all. He ministererd

unto sinners, even to those who hated Him. How many of us are willing to serve and

minister to those who despise us? Jesus did. He is our example, we are to have the

Mind of Christ. That is Scriptural, not humanistic psychology.

Wake up and speak as the oracles of God! Speak His Word bodly as if there is no

tomorrow. Isaiah 55:6-7 Seek ye the Lord while He may be found, call ye upon Him

while He is near: let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his

thoughts: and let him return unto the Lord, and He will have mercy upon him; and

to our God, for He will abundantly pardon. - Amen.

WHAT IS GOD'S PURPOSE FOR YOU?

Colossians 1:9-10 For this cause we also, since the day we heard

of it, do not cease to pray for you, and to desire that you might

be filled with the knowledge of His Will in all wisdom and

spiritual understanding; That you might walk worthy of the

Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and

increasing in the Knowledge of God;

God's Purpose and His Will for you is clearly laid out in

these two verses. You do not need to run out and buy some book

to find out about your "purpose driven life." Dearly Beloved, it

is the Father's Will that you have wisdom and understanding in

the Word of God; that you walk worthy of the Lord unto all

pleasing. Your behavior in this life time should be led in such a

Holy, and God-Conscientious manner that others around you

will know you have been in the Presence of The Almighty! The

Holy Spirit enables the Believer to walk worthy before the

Lord when we place our Faith solely upon the Finished Work at

the Cross. When we daily acknowledge that Jesus Christ paid

a terrible price for our Salvation, we understand that is how

we are able to walk about, in this day of Grace. With that

said, we ought to be fruitful in every good work and always

increasing in the Knowledge of God. Hallelujah! When it is in

the power of your hands to do good to others, just do it. With

Jesus in your heart and reading and studying His Word daily,

your knowledge of God will increase. And that Dear Saints is

the Father's Will for you. When you are alone in His Word, you

are learning of Him. And in closing, 1 Co. 15:58 Therefore, my

beloved Brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always

abounding in the Work of the Lord, (telling others about Jesus!)

forasmuch as you know that your labour is not in vain in

the Lord.

Amen.

"Christ"Mas, When Christ Was Born!

Luke 2:7-11 And she brought forth her First-Born Son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn. And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. And lo, the Angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid. And the Angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.

This morning a message is going out to the whole world. It does not matter about the color of your skin, your religious background, if you are rich or poor, the President of a Country, or a scrooge of scrooges. I am here to proclaim that Christmas Day is all about Jesus Christ and not about Santa Claus, Christmas Trees, spending all your money, Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer and such like. Jesus Christ came in the flesh to redeem lost man back to God. Period! This is a most precious and Holy time to celebrate the birth of our Lord God. For if Almighty God had not allowed His only Begotten Son to be born into this world, every single human being on the face of the Earth would be lost to this day. But Glory be to our Most High God the day Jesus was born and the glorious light from Heaven shone down on that manger.

Let us be so very thankful for our Lord Jesus Christ's ULTIMATE sacrifice. For a time He gave up His glory with the Father to come down to sinful, fallen man. We were unworthy for such love Christ bestowed upon us. May Your Holy Spirit convict hearts all over the world this month, that December 25th is to celebrate Your Birthday! May souls get saved, and the backslider in heart turn back to you. I pray the true Spirit of Christmas will fill every heart far and wide - which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.

How about it people? Are you lost and without a Saviour? Do you feel that void in your heart? Santa Claus will not fill it, not even a tree filled with presents under it. But I know someone who will, and His Name is Jesus, the sweetest and most powerful Name you will ever know. All you have to do is repent of your sins, and ask Him into your heart and He will forgive you of all your sins. The Bible says, Romans 10:9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised Him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. vs. 10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. Say this prayer, Jesus I ask you to forgive me of all my sins, come into my heart and be the Lord of my life. I believe you died and rose again that I might be saved. Thankyou for saving me, In Jesus Name, Amen! If you said that prayer sincerely, go tell someone. Confess with your mouth, Ro. 10:11 says, For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on Him shall not be ashamed.

Receiving the free gift of Eternal Life, by your expressed Faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, is the best gift you will ever receive! So how about sharing the gift of salvation to a lost loved one this Christmas Season. You have freely received, so freely give. It is the greatest joy to know you are saved and on your way to Heaven. To have the Sanctifing Peace of God in your soul is a blessing indeed.

Please get out of the world's ways. For they think their much spending, fancy decorations and teaching their children to believe in Santa Claus is the way to celebrate. It is all deception! Our children should grow up believing and trusting in Jesus Christ, the Saviour of our souls. May God Bless everyone through out the whole world of this knowledge. And I want to close with saying, Happy Birthday Jesus, I love you with all my heart and soul. Amen.

BE NOT DIVIDED! please...

1 Co. 1:11-13 For it has been declared unto me of you, my Brethren, by them which are of the House of Chloe, that there are contentions among you.

Now this I say, that every one of you says, I am of Paul; and I of Apollos; and I of Cephas; and I of Christ. is Christ divided? was Paul crucified for you? or were you baptized in the name of Paul?

1 Co. 3:3-4 For you are yet carnal: for whereas there is among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are you not carnal, and walk as men? For while one said, I am of Paul; and another, I am of Apollos; are you not carnal?

I want to ask the same question the Apostle Paul asked, is Christ divided? Is there a Baptist Christ, a Pentecostal Christ, a Methodist Christ, a Jehovah Witness Christ, or a Catholic Christ? Paul also posed the question, "am I crucified for you?" My question that I bring before the table, was the Pope crucified for you or for that matter was any of the 'late great' of our times who brought Reformation to the Church crucified for you? No! Our one and only Lord Jesus Christ was Crucified and Resurrected to redeem lost man back to God.

Too many Christians in the world get caught up in their Denominations, whereby comes envying, strife, and divisions. People in the United States are divided because of their beliefs and stands for their political party. But I perceive too many Christians are divided one from another on how they believe about God through their Denomination. This greatly hinders the work and move of the Holy Ghost in our lives. God is not divided. It is God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. These three agree as one and are in perfect unity. We, as His Children, should not be divided! As Paul said in 1 Co. 1:10 Now I beseech you Brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ that you all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that you be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment.

This Thanksgiving Season let us remember our Creator, The Lord God Almighty. Let us remember His only Begotten Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, who was nailed to that Cross for you and me. Let us be forever thankful for the All Powerful, All Knowing, Abiding Presence and Comfort of the Holy Ghost, whom Jesus Christ sent down to us after His Resurrection.

This Thanksgiving Day let us lay aside our Denominational differences, our 'spiritual pride and arrogancy,' that has been the down fall of many a Christian. Let us come together in the unity of the Spirit as a Member in this Remarkable Body of Christ wherein we are called. The Believers, which is the Beautiful Bride, who is washed in the Blood of the Lamb and has made herself ready for the Bridegroom. Our Lord Jesus Christ is coming down with Great Glory and Power to receive us up where we will forever be with Him. He is not coming after a certain Denomination, but my Jesus is coming for those who believe upon His Name. Those who have repented from their sins and have asked for His forgiveness. Yes, He is coming for those who are looking for Him! Let us ever be so very Thankful for our many and mighty blessings He has bestowed upon us. In Jesus Name I pray, Amen.

Sister Tracey- Nov. 20th, 2008

Psalms 95:2-7 Let us come before His presence with thanksgiving, and make a joyful noise unto Him with Psalms. For the Lord is a great God, and a great King above all gods. In His hand are the deep places of the Earth: the strength of the hills is His also. The sea is His, and He made it: and His hands formed the dry land. O come, let us worship and bow down: let us kneel before the Lord our Maker. For He is our God; and we are the people of His pasture, and the sheep of His hand.

IN DEFENSE OF GOD'S WORD!!

Hebrews 4:12 For the Word of God is quick, and powerful, and

sharper than any two-edged 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.

The Word of God is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. I wonder is this the reason most people would rather not read the Holy Bible? Is it because they do not want to feel the convicting power of the Holy Ghost upon them? When you read and study the "True Word" of God, the Holy Spirit convicts and deals with the heart of man. It is for this reason I am writing to you today, to stand up and defend the Authorized King James Version of the Holy and Sacred Scriptures.

Many versions of the Bible are in print, with more to come. Recently I read in the newspaper about a new Bible coming out. They call it, "Bible Illuminated the Book: New Testament. The article describes it of Martin Luther King Jr graces one page, Angelina Joline the next. A photo of a man on fire opens the Book of Revelation and laid across a two page image of gasoline spilling from a pump is the quote that begins, "The whole Earth was amazed and followed the beast." This is outright blasphemy! Dozens of different versions of the Bible come out each year to adhere to the "itching ears" of people of every culture. Now people are moving away from print reading to this latest version of idolatrous and wicked images.

Another popular Bible I must address is entitled The Message. People this book is NOT the Bible!! Most certaintly it is a message from the devil, trying to deceive even the elect. The Message is not a true word for word translation of the original Greek and Hebrew text. The man who wrote this book is not of God, and he is not filled with the Holy Spirit! The spirit that would drive such a one to write such blasphemy is demonic and trying to take you and your children to Hell! The author's name is Eugene Peterson and if you have his book in your home, GET IT OUT! Take it outside and burn it and ask Almighty God to forgive you for forsaking His Holy and Sacred Scriptures.

2 Peter 1:20 Knowing this first, that no Prophecy of the Scripture is of any private interpretation. ( this refers to the fact that the Word of God did not originate in the human mind.) vs. 21 For the Prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but Holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Spirit. 2 Peter 2:1 But there were false Prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord who bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction. The Message delves into the occult, using esoteric and New Age philosophy. The Author (Peterson) is a proponent of contemplative/ mystical spirituality. I came across this eye-opening information by reading The Evangelist Magazine in which Frances Swaggart exposed the truth on this most evil and hideous book. Here is an exerpt of the article word for word....

[ More discerning readers will be able to sense that The Message does not bear witness to the Holy Spirit, but rather a strange spirit will begin to move upon their hearts, actually making The Message quite dangerous to read! This satanically-inspired distortion of Scripture has arrived just in time for the advent of the Antichrist's interfaith "church," having sold over 10 million copies thus far. The real tragedy is that much of the "church" which is endorsing it, professes to be the Christian Church. Rick Warren references it 83 times in The Purpose-Driven Life }published by Ruper Murdock through Zondervan Publishing} Interestingly, though, Eugene Peterson does not even consider The Message, the Word of God. It was never his intention to use it as such. In an interview in Christianity Today, Peterson says, "When you're doing a paraphrase translation like I've done.... there's more of an imagination and poetic aspect to it, because you're trying to re-create those rhythms or those images and metaphors in this culture... I would never recommend it being used as saying, 'Hear the Word of God from the Message.' It surprises me how many do." I guess it does not surprise him, considering that, in his own words, he tells us that part of the process involved something as blasphemous as "re--creating" the Scripture. Furthermore, he said, "... in a congregation where somebody uses it in the Scripture reading, it makes me uneasy." Now, if Peterson has enough fear of God not to use his own personal paraphrase from the pulpit, where is this same respect for the Holiness of God among other Pastors? Perhaps, another reason Peterson is not comfortable calling The Message the Word of God is because he cannot even guarantee that his interpretation is accurate. He says, "I just kind of let go and became playful... I did the Beatitudes in about 10 minutes." When asked about his feelings regarding The Message, Peterson, says, "To tell you the truth, I'm quite detached from it... it's almost like it's happening to somebody else. I'm surprised at how little emotion I feel about this." ---taken from The Evangelist April 2007 issue, by Frances Swaggart.]

Now with that said, here is what my Bible, The King James says concerning the very heart of this man and his readers. 1 Timothy 4:1-2 Now the Spirit speaks expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the Faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron; - Without doubt, this author's conscience is seared indeed. I plead with every man, woman, and child under the sun to stop reading such foolishness. Not only is it wicked, it is dangerous! I feel like Jeremiah of old when he said in Je. 6:10 To whom shall I speak, and give warning, that they may hear? Behold, their ear is uncircumcised, and they cannot hearken: behold, the Word of the Lord is unto them a reproach; that they have no delight in it.

Come back to the old fashioned Authorized King James Bible and take delight as you read the life changing, soul saving, Holy Spirit convicting, and uplifting comfort of the Holy Scriptures! God will bless you mightily. I can confirm and testify that the Lord will open your heart and give unto you understanding, if only you will ask for it! James 1:5 says, If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. Please stop running to the book stores and purchasing all these new versions of the Bible 'man' is inventing. The Word of God does not change, but man changes the Word. Man rewrites God's Word to appeal to the lusts of his flesh because he savors not the things that be of God! Jesus has a stern warning to these people in the Book of Revelation. Re.22:19 And if any man shall take away from the words of the Book of this Prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the Book of Life, and out of the Holy City, and from the things which are written in this Book.

Now in my closing, this is to all the NIV Bible readers out there. Did you know that Zondervan publishers (who publishes the NIV Bible) is owned by Harper Collins? Harper Collins also publishes The Joy of Gay Sex and The Satanic Bible. Many professed Christians know this yet continue to use their corrupted NIV Bible. Do you have enough confidence and courage in the NIV, to tell God, that the NIV is correct in deleting words and phrases? One final thought... the NIV Bible is copyrighted, the KJV is not. There's no need to copyright the Word of God. One only needs to copyright the words of men. Think about that.

The Apostate Church is here, alive and kicking. It uses corrupted Bibles that blaspheme and dishonor our Lord Jesus Christ. They take away from the Holiness of Almighty God and most certainly the convicting power of the Holy Ghost is not present. In your day of judgment, have mercy Holy Father, have mercy, in Jesus Name I pray, Amen.

Revelation 22:11 He who is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he who is Righteous, let him be Righteous still: and he who is Holy, let him be Holy still. vs. 12 And, behold, I come quickly and My reward is with Me, to give to every man according as his work shall be. vs. 13 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last.

THE CRUCIFIED LIFE

Ga. 2:20 I am Crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live: yet not I, but Christ lives in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, Who loved me, and gave Himself for me.

Our "True Churches" are not full today because people are not walking the 'Crucified Life.' Oh yes, they say they are Christians and no I am not doubting their testimony of faith in Christ. But the Believer must understand it is much more than just saying you are a Christian. Paul said in James 2:18, Yes, a man may say, You have Faith, and I have works: show me your Faith without your works, and I will show you my Faith by my works. This means the fact that a profession of Faith is profitless. Christians have so much misery and uncertainty because they refuse to deny who they are. I want to deny myself, because I am nothing but stinking, filthy, rotting flesh apart from Christ. I realize the moment I look away from the Cross, I resort back to the 'old man.'

I say again too many Christians are not walking properly before the Lord their God because they have not allowed the Holy Spirit to "Crucify" them. It is just the truth! I HAVE BEEN THERE. To truly become Christ's Disciple, you must stay in His Word. His Word must become your whole life. You must crave His Word more than you crave food. You must desire His Perfect and Holy Will to be done in your life even if it contradicts how you think it should be. Again, I'VE BEEN THERE! I have been guilty of telling God, 'no, I want it this way, this is the desire of my heart.' After all, did not God tell us He would give us the desires of our heart? But praise be to God for protecting us from our own stupidity the days we attempted to walk in the flesh and spirit at the same time. The days we thought we knew best. God has told me no for a reason. And the day one accepts that and can have peace in their heart over a matter, then one is truly walking the Crucified Life. For Him to increase and you to decrease, is to say Lord your Will be done, no matter how painful.

How many times have you heard of "Christian Marriages" having trouble? Have you ever wondered how two people who claim Christ as their Saviour, yet they end up fighting like heathens who know not God. I perceive it is because one is Crucified with Christ and the other is walking in self, worshipping the work of his own hands, seeing how he may please himself. The couple who is trying to maintain a relationship in this capacity will have no true peace and joy in their marriage. For the one knows that Jesus Christ alone is the answer. And He alone can enable you to have life and have it more abundantly. They know it is about the Spirit of God and not their own. This person becomes unselfish and willing to sacrifice, even their own life, to put the needs of others first. On the other hand, the Christian partner who does all the telling and finger pointing, and yet rufuses to surrender the matter to God, is walking in the flesh. This person totally trusts in his own abilities and strengths. This person has no true peace and joy, they know deep inside they are wrong, yet will not change. Selfishness and controlling are their nature, they have a form of Godliness but deny the power there of. They proclaim and confess Christ but in works they deny Him. ( And I am not talking about Church attendence or handing out flyers on the street corner. The works I speak of are the little things.) They get offended easily and lash out with their tongue. Yes they know how to crucify others but will not surrender to their own Crucifixion. The Word says be ye not unequally yoked together with an unbeliever. God I know you tell us not to add unto your Word. But I strongly feel in my spirit for the sake of the family unit, not to be yoked together with a man or woman who proclaims to be saved, but yet walks and talks like the average 'Joe.' Brothers and Sisters flee from such a one. The Apostle Paul stated very clearly that in marriage one would have trouble in the flesh. IT DOES NOT HAVE TO BE THAT WAY! If you say you are Christlike, then act Christlike. If not, then quit taking the name of the Lord my God in vain.

I commend Christian men who truly honor their wives as the weaker vessel. Thankyou for abiding by the Word and walking humbly before the Lord your God. And women you do the same, with all love, humilty and forgiveness. You know we only have one chance down here on Earth. Jesus Christ will judge us for our motives one day. Let us redeem the time wisely, unselfishly, and walk the Crucified Life. Amen.

HOW MUCH LONGER?

Isaiah 40: 28-31 Hast thou not known? hast thou not

heard, that the everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator

of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary?

there is no searching of his understanding. 29 He giveth

power to the faint; and to them that have no might he

increaseth strength. 30 Even the youths shall faint and

be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall: 31 But

they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their

strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they

shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and

not faint.

This goes out to all my fellow, like minded Believers who

are experiencing "burn out." He gives power to the

faint; and to them who have no might He increases

strength. What a mighty and powerful promise we have

to stand on! No matter how "low" you feel, God will give

His Power to sustain you. We have to abide by and

believe what He says to be so. If not, then most

certaintly we are of all 'men' most miserable.

Lord God, help me to "wait upon you." You have

promised to renew my strength where I can run, and not

be weary, and to walk and not faint. Forgive me for

wanting to stop this fight and give up. Forgive me for

having a bad attitude of not wanting to wait upon You

anymore. Forgive me for allowing discouragment to set

in, only to weaken my Faith and Confidence in You,

Lord Almighty. I ask You to exalt the valley of the

hurting and weeping and bring down the mountain and

hills of the oppressors of this world, that they may know

they can no longer touch Your anointed, and above all,

may they know You are God, the Almighty, the First and

the Last and all flesh will see Your Glory! Amen.

LET'S REDEEM THE TIME!!!

Colossians 4: 5- 6 Walk in wisdom toward them who are without, redeeming the time. Let your speech be always with Grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer every man.

My heart's desire is to walk in such a way, that all I say

and do will bring glory and honor to our Lord Jesus

Christ. There are people in this world who are hurting

and lost. May the time I have left here on Earth be used

wisely to proclaim the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ.

May gracious and pleasant words flow through my

mouth to bring edification to the hearers around me and

comfort to those who are cast down. May my speech be

seasoned with the Word of God, which is quick,

powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword!!

When the Word of God becomes your whole life, (your

food) you will know how to answer every man for the

reason of the hope that is in you. With the power of the

Holy Ghost leading and guiding you, you will be able to

let your light so shine before all men. I call upon the

saved in Christ Jesus to truly walk in wisdom, redeeming

the time by giving your testimony and the Word of God.

When someone asks of you, how do you carry on? May

you boldly declare you serve the Lord Jesus Christ, who

came to this Earth and suffered greatly and died on the

Cross. May you say 'I have been washed clean, white as

snow, in the Blood of the Lamb.' May you say, My Master

is preparing a mansion for me and one day soon that

trumpet is gonna sound, and we will be caught up to be

with Him forever more! Praise the Lord and Hallelujah!

May God richly bless you and anoint you with power

and boldness to proclaim the mighty Word of God.

HE IS!

Isaiah 28:29 This also comes forth from the Lord of Hosts, which is wonderful in counsel, and excellent in working.

This verse is so absolutely beautiful to my heart

and soul. My God is " wonderful in counsel." How

awesome is that? His Counsel is pure, His Counsel is

upright, His Counsel is life changing (if your life is not

changed, then you have not received His Word), His

Counsel is soul saving, His Counsel is life everlasting,

His Counsel is the Word of God! Read it, read it and

weep. Read it, read it and rejoice. Read it, and

tell others about the Living, dynamic, Holy Ghost

inspired Book that will change your life, set you free

and put you under such an anointing that you will cry

out, Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord God Almighty, which

was, and is, and is to come!

To read and understand that He is "excellent in

working," sets me in a peaceful valley this morning! For

only God, by the work of the Holy Ghost, can recreate

the heart of man to worship Him in Spirit and in Truth.

Only in His Excellent Work can He take man in

his self centered, arrogant minded, and self-willed flesh

and make a new creature in Christ! I praise your Holy

Name Father, even this morning as I reflect on the work

you have done in me. When you come to Christ and get

saved, you walk around like you are on "cloud nine."

You are elevated and have a desire to tell everyone about

Jesus. I don't care to burst anyone's bubble, but there

will come a day of purging. You see, when you get

saved, God is not through with you yet. He wants you

prepared and meet for the Master's Use. He desires that

you walk Holy and blameless before Him all the days of

your life. [Eph. 1:4] But far too many of us still hang on

to our old ways, the old sinful, carnal nature.

John Chapter 15, verse 2 says, Every branch in Me that

beareth not fruit He takes away: and every branch that

bears fruit, He purges it, that it may bring forth more

fruit. I looked up the proper definition of purge, which

means to cleanse, clear, or purify by separating and

carrying off whatever is impure. I suppose it is how

stubborn you are that will determine how " painful"

this process of purging will be. I can testify that I

underwent great pain and torment in times past as I

went through God's Reconstructive Surgery. It is a

letting go of your way and a full submission to His Will.

Proverbs 14:12 says, There is a way which seems right

unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.

If you truly want to serve the Lord and walk humbly

before thy God, you must allow Him to "purge" and

"crucify" you from your self. Today ask God to make

you Christ-Centered. It can be a painful process or it

can be easy. It is up to you if you want to hang on to

"you" or get a hold of Christ. But one thing, never

forget, it is Him who Is Excellent in Working. It is a

great Work of the Holy Spirit that Sanctifies you. Let's

give God all the Praise and Glory, in Jesus Name I pray,

Amen.

SAVE YOURSELF

Acts 2:37:40 Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the Apostles, Men and Brethren, what shall we do? Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the Name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and you shall receive the Gift of the Holy Spirit. For the Promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all who are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call. And with many other words did he testify and exhort, saying, Save yourselves from this untoward generation.

The end of all things as you know it, is coming to an end soon. We are living in the last Chapter of the Church Age. It is high time to awake out of sleep and examine yourselves, whether you be in the Faith. As John the Baptist proclaimed in Matthew 3:2, Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.

Sinners MUST repent and believe the Gospel, the backsliders need to repent and serve the Lord thy God with love and a thankful heart. The "lukewarm" needs to wake up and get on fire for Jesus and rise up out of your "spiritual lazy chair." We who are saved and know the Truth should reach out to a lost and dying world. We should let our light so shine before men with the love, mercy, and compassion that the Lord Jesus Christ has placed inside of us. As there was a call to repentance then, so is there now. The Book of Acts 3:18-23 tells us, But those things, which God before had showed by the mouth of all His Prophets, that Christ should suffer, He has so fulfilled. Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the Presence of the Lord; And He shall send Jesus Christ, which before was preached unto you: Whom the Heaven must receive until the times of restitution of all things, which God has spoken by the mouth of all His Holy Prophets since the world began. For Moses truly said unto the Fathers, A Prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of your brethren, like unto me; Him shall you hear in all things whatsoever He shall say unto you. And it shall come to pass, that every soul, which will not hear that Prophet, shall be destroyed from among the people.

If you know in your heart, that you have never asked Jesus Christ to forgive you of your sins and to save your soul, then today is your day. Joshua 24:14-15 tells us, Now therefore fear the Lord, and serve him in sincerity and in truth: and put away the gods which your fathers served on the other side of the flood, and in Egypt; and serve ye the Lord. And if it seem evil unto you to serve the Lord, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.

I beseech you to be like the people in Joshua's day, Jo.24:24- And the people said unto Joshua, The Lord our God we will serve, and His voice we will obey. You do not have to live a life of sin and shame! Come out from among them and be saved. 1 Thess. 5:9-10 says, For God has not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ, who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him.

Please remember this about my God..... 2 Peter 3:8-15 But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. 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, But the Day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the Heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervant heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up. Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all Holy conversation and Godliness, Looking for and hasting unto the Coming of the Day of God, wherein the Heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervant heat? Nevertheless we, according to His Promise, look for new Heavens and a new earth, wherein dwells Righteousness. Wherefore, beloved, seeing that you look for such things, be diligent that you may be found of Him in Peace, without spot, and blameless. And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is Salvation; even as our beloved Brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him has written unto you;

Again, I ask you to save yourself from this wicked generation, in Jesus name I pray, Amen.

ARISE!

Since the Tower of Babel people have come together to rise up for one cause or another. I am not one to give percentages but the far greater of uprisings in our time have been worldly, not of God whatsoever. People have a tendancy , including myself to set goals for their life or to fulfill some calling that has no eternal value. We who are saved ought to have the mind of Christ. We should ever seek to fulfill His Will in our lives, not to please ourselves, but Him who has called us.

God's Word is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow. Therefore the Book of Acts is still in force, it is not a Book of the past. As Jesus said Arise then, He is also saying Arise up people and come out from among them and be ye separate. That simply means "separate" yourselves from the ways of the world. Open up your Bible and start speaking His Words. 1 Peter 4:11 says, If any man speak, let him speak as the Oracles of God; if any man Minister, let him do it as of the ability which God gives: that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be praise and dominion forever and ever. Amen.

Personally, I've had one, too many in my lifetime to tell me, " you can't do that." I bought into the lies for the greater part of my life. Now my God is saying, Arise! For His Word is in my heart as a burning fire shut up in my bones. Jesus says, 'I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.' I am not so much concerned with the "all things" as much as I am about the "little thing" that just might touch someones life. Lord send me to that one who needs a Word from you.

My Pastor once said, "Despise not the little things." What a remarkable statement! If God has put something on your heart, no matter how insignificant you might think it is, please go forward with it. Acts 10:4 tells us that God knew exactly the heart of Cornelius. The Angel told him, "Your prayers and your alms are come up for a memorial before God." Now this Scripture pertains to a man who loved God but was not saved. But I am applying it for an example that God sees what you are doing or want to do in His Service. FEAR NOT, allow the Holy Spirit to lead and guide you. If you have the desire, He has the Ability!

God has placed a "strong desire" in my spirit to read and study His Word, a zeal I cannot walk away from, although I have tried. We sing a song in Church called, "Let Our God Arise." Folks, sometimes He calls us to Arise. Let us do that for His Glory. Amen.

JUST A WARNING!

Preaching: Preach to Make Them Sweat

Now when they heard this, they were cut to the heart, and said to
Peter and the rest of the apostles, "Men and brethren, what shall
we do?"
--Acts 2:37

I preach to my congregation week after week. And I pray that I
may be able to preach with such convicting power that my people
will sweat! I do not want them to leave my services feeling good.
The last thing I want to do is to give them some kind of
religious tranquilizer--and let them go to hell in their
relaxation.

The Christian church was designed to make sinners sweat. I have
always believed that, and I still believe it. The messages
preached in our churches should make backslidden Christians
sweat. And if I achieve that objective when I preach, I thank
God with all of my heart, no matter what people think of me.
Jesus Is Victor!, 61-62. [ AW Tozer]

Now this is the difference between "True Ministers" like AW Tozer of his day and the modern day "feel good preachers" we currently hear. I really do not have a whole lot to add to AW's sermon than this..... People you better wake up and listen. Judgment is coming, judgment is coming, Great God Almighty, judgment is coming to the "Church World." The Book of 2 Ti. 4:1-4 tells me right where the "modern church" is at. 'I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at His appearing and His Kingdom; Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine. 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; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned into fables.

I will always hold my first Church of God Pastor with high esteem. For he preached with authority under the anointing of the Holy Ghost, with no respect of persons. His preaching would either lead you to repentance or drive the hardened sinner out the door. Praise the Lord, he preaches to make them "sweat" as AW once said. My first Pastor did not preach to tickle no man's ears!! You keep on keeping on Pastor!

In no way do I get myself mixed up in politics. For that is a worldly system, I am waiting upon Jesus Christ to return and rule as King over the entire world. But I have to throw in my two cents about yesterday's ruling in California. Beware!!!!!!!! It will not be long now until another tragedy takes place. I am sorry, but God warned us in Jude 7, Even as Sodom and Gomorrah, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire. Oh the ruins of Sodom and Gomorrah, Dr. George Adam Smith says: " Here was laid the scene of the most terrible judgment on human sin. The glare of Sodom and Gomorrah is flung down the whole length of Scriptural history. It is the popular and standard judgment of sin. The story is told in Genesis; it is applied in Deuteronomy, by Amos, by Isaiah, by Jeremiah, by Ezekiel and Zephaniah, and in Lamentations. Our Lord employs it more than once as the figure of the judgment He threatens upon cities where the word is preached in vain, and we feel the flame scorch our own cheeks (Mt. 10:15; 11:24; Luke 10:12; 17:29). Paul, Peter, Jude makes mention of it. In Revelation the city of sin is spiritually called Sodom. Though the glare of this catastrophe burns still, the ruins it left have disappeared.

I want to close with comforting words to the people of God, to the ones who have not turned their backs on Jesus Christ and the Cross. Proverbs 3:25-26 Be not afraid of sudden fear, neither of the desolation of the wicked, when it cometh. For the Lord shall be thy confidence, and shall keep thy foot from being taken.

We thank you and Praise your Holy Name Father for warning us ahead of time, In Jesus Name I pray, Amen.

WEEPING!

Malachi 1:8 And if you offer the blind for sacrifice, is it not evil? and if you offer the lame and sick, is it not evil? offer it now unto your Governor; will he be pleased with you, or accept your person? saith the Lord of Hosts.

Tears formed in my eyes as I got a grasp as to what the Lord is saying here. How many come to Church each week and offer a "sick sacrifice?" People pull out a little something to sacrifice unto God while at the same time their heart is far from God. I can sense all around me that people are not worhipping in truth and in spirit. Their heart is full of evil and rottenness is in their bones. Today too many people half heartedly sacrifice to our Lord Jesus Christ. Their minds are lame from a lack of pure Holy Ghost given Bible Knowledge and their hearts are sick simply because of unbelief! You put more into your "Governor" of this world, which can be nailed down to your 401K Retirement plan and such like. May we all repent of offering evil sacrifices unto God and start investing in our retirement for the Great Coming Kingdom Age where Jesus Christ will reign as King of kings and Lord of lords.

In the Law of Moses, God ordered that the Sacrifices, the Lambs, should be perfect and without blemish. Please understand this teaches us to put God first and give Him our very best! Do not misunderstand me, I am not just talking about your tithes. This matter includes your whole self, your thoughts, deeds, and actions. Everything we say and do should be thought of as a sweet smelling sacrifice unto the Lord our God. Let us not offer polluted bread upon His Altar anymore. For His eyes run to and fro throughout the whole Earth. 1 Chron. 28:9 tells us that God wants us to serve Him with a perfect heart and with a willing mind: for the Lord searches all hearts, and understands all the imaginations of the thoughts. John 4:23 says, But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship Him.

Lord I pray Your people will receive Holy Ghost conviction and offer no more "sick sacrifices." For you are an Awesome, Most Powerful and Holy God whom deserves our very best. You gave us Perfection by sending Your only Begotten Son Jesus Christ, who paid such a horric price to allow us this "humbling" privilege to be able to come bodly to the Throne of Grace. May our Praise and Worship be acceptable in Thy sight from this day forward, in Jesus Name I pray, Amen.
