Let your light shine before others

Something we all have in common and understand how it works is the light switch.   We know that when we come into a dark room and flick the switch to on the room lights up and all the darkness is gone what was hidden by the darkness is exposed in the bright light.

We know that light does not change the darkness into light it only exposes darkness with the light.

There are three things that can keep the light switch from doing its job.   The switch gets some dirt between the contact and the power source, there is a short in the switch due to over load or some other factor that allows the wires to touch each other and short out, the switch becomes open and cannot make contact with the power source.

Either way the light switch cannot do its job until its contact to the power source is cleaned, repaired or replaced.

Likewise we Christians are God’s light switches here on earth the world is a very dark wicked place and evil people do evil sinful things hidden by and covered by the darkness.

God’s purpose for us is to light up the world around us to expose the darkness with light of the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ.   Jesus said, "You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden.”   Matthew 5:14

“In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven. “  Matthew 5:16

If we are truly connected to the power source, (God’s Holy Spirit) when we come into a dark room or place the gospel light shining through us will light up the darkness around us and sinful things will be exposed by the light that is in us.   Now when this happens all that is dark and sinful in the room or place where we are will do one of two things, they will leave the room or the demons of darkness that are always present in the darkness will attack us and try to short circuit our connection to the power source in attempt to shut off the light switch.

We Christians if we are not careful can fall into the trap of allowing ourselves to become so overloaded with things that are not really important we can become so consumed with doing the things that pleasure our flesh, that we become so stressed out that we will at some point short circuit ourselves from our power source and our light will go out.

We can let a little of the world’s filthy dirt get stuck between us and God so that we cannot make contact with the Holy Spirit who is our power source.   And our light will no longer shine in the darkness we will become as the darkness if we allow this to happen.   “See to it, then, that the light within you is not darkness. “  Luke 11:35

If we fail to always watch and pray and stay close to Jesus who is the only contact between us and God.   The Holy Spirit Jesus sent down from heaven to live in all Christian believers to comfort us in the darkness of life and guide us from the darkness of sin into the marvelous light of the gospel of Jesus Christ.   If we do not always watch and pray then we will have allowed an open circuit between us and God.   We will backslide back into the darkness of sin that Jesus saved us out of and delivered us from.

Backslidden Christians have lost their connection to their power source and they are consumed with the darkness of sin their lights have gone out.

As a dog returns to its vomit, so fools repeat their folly.   Proverbs 26:11   Return, ye backsliding children, and I will heal your backslidings. Behold, we come unto thee; for thou art the LORD our God.   Jeremiah 3:22

How about you today is your light shining?   Are you performing the purpose that God meant for you to do?   Are you the light in the darkness around you?

If others cannot see the gospel light of the Lord Jesus Christ shining in you and radiating from you then you have allowed something to get between you and God that has stopped your switch from doing its job.

If this is your condition today you do have a choice to return to God, repent of sin that is blocking you from contact with God you can choose to allow the blood of Jesus to cleanse your heart from the desire to sin and the word of God to wash away all the sin that is separating you from God.   You can receive the full forgiveness for your sins through the love, mercy and grace of God through Jesus Christ our Lord.   And your light can shine brightly again to the glory and honor of our Father in heaven.

Know this God’s light will shine in the world always exposing the darkness of sin and if some foolish Christians will not let Him shine through them He will remove them from the task and allow them to perish in their sins.   And will raise up those who will be obedient to His purpose and will.

Here is the Lord’s one and only purpose for His Christian church on earth:

But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that you should show forth the praises of him who has called you out of darkness into his marvelous light;   1 Peter 2:9

I am convinced that the end of this present world is upon us

I am convinced that the end of this present world is upon us, the signs of the end that Jesus told us about we are reading about and seeing videos while they happen is undoubtable proof, that the world we once knew and have watched it change into the monster that it is today is heading rapidly towards the end of its existence.   The world in Noah’s time reached the end time because of the wickedness and violence that filled the hearts and minds of the people.   God in His wrath and anger at what the world had become and the continual evil that emitted from the hearts of His human race declared an end and it came just as He said it would.

Do we dare think in this generation that God has changed, do we dare believe that we can live, think and do probably more wickedness and violence in America and the world than was done in Noah’s generation and escape the anger, wrath and justice of Almighty God for our unrighteous ways.

God is not human, that he should lie, not a human being, that he should change his mind.   Does he speak and then not act?    Does he promise and not fulfill?   Numbers 23:19

Some of the things that fill news headlines, wars and talk of wars, violence, murder, love for self more than God, minds thinking evil continually hearts and bodies acting to carry out that evil.

And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.   Matthew 24:6

Families at war with each other, “They will be divided, father against son and son against father, mother against daughter and daughter against mother, mother-in-law against daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law against mother-in-law."   Luke 12:53

Killer plagues and diseases spreading around the world at an alarming rate, there are those who are so evil that they regard human life as nothing so they take a death oath to kill themselves in order to kill others, because of the sinful wicked and violent there is no peace anywhere in the world.

Is an end coming to this world wide madness?   I think if one looks honestly and closely at the signs of the times the conclusion is yes!

Well I stated that there is no peace in the wicked world and it is so.   But individual children of God can and do have peace in the midst of all of this because we know the prince of peace and final outcome.   It is not man’s new world order that will bring peace and fix the human nature of human desire to sin and live unrighteous.   But it is God’s new world order coming down from heaven a new world of righteousness without sin, while He destroys this world of wickedness and violence, God has declared His kingdom will be established in righteousness and holiness forever.

So if it is peace you want as you watch the world go the way that its evil has prepared it to go, there is only one way you can get it and have it.

Come to Jesus the prince of peace the only one who has true peace and is willing to give it to all who will believe in Him and receive Him.

For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

Isaiah 9:6

Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid.   John 14:27 

These things I have spoken to you, that in me you might have peace. In the world you shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.   John 16:33

You will either get your peace through Jesus Christ or you will have no peace at all,you will be saved from the destruction of this present evil wicked world by accepting Jesus Christ into your heart for the remission of your sins, or you will die in your sins having no peace with this wicked sinful world that is under the wrath and judgment of angry God.

And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.

And it repented the Lord that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart.

 And the Lord said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them.   Genesis 6:5-7

Now the earth was corrupt in God's sight and was full of violence.   Genesis 6:11

So God said to Noah, "I am going to put an end to all people, for the earth is filled with violence because of them. I am surely going to destroy both them and the earth.   Genesis 6:13

As for me and my family we choose to follow Jesus and rest in His peace while we wait for the coming kingdom of God

What would you say has our country gone from bad to good or from good to bad?

I was born a few years after the first automobile rolled through the streets of America’s cities and in a time where the first covered outside toilets were commonly used, but before the first jet airplane flew the sky’s taking travelers around the world.   I rode in one of Henry Ford’s model T Fords, used the outhouse and took my baths in the creek that ran by our house or in a galvanized tin wash tub for many years and as an adult I flew a few times on jet airplanes.

Since then I have seen science and technology cause swift changes in our society and way of life, I have seen how Radio, Television, Telephones and now Computers, Cellular phones and the internet have changed us even more.

But the big question in my mind is, has all these modern continuing changes really been good for us?   Have they really benefited us?   Or have they hurt us badly?

Remembering my child hood and the honest simple life people lived in those days when a hand shake settled contracts and the crime rate was such that one could leave their doors and windows unlocked open  and never think about someone breaking into their homes harming them and stealing their possessions.   Comparing those days with the fast paced modern instant communications, fast travel stress filled hurried living practices of people of today.

The answers for me is No all these modern inventions and devices have not really bettered our society instead they are becoming our down fall.   Because of the desire to have more of them and the greed to get more of them and the leisure they give us to pleasure ourselves in all the things we should not be doing.   Most have no time to have close relationships with family and friends.   Mothers and fathers have no time or desire to train their children how to become sensible common sense adults any more.   Between all the hours that both have to work in order to have all of these modern day computerized electronic adult toys and gadgets and the little free time they have left, caught up in and spent in their own pleasuring, American families are separated from one another and true family relationships has nearly become extinct.   Because they have lost the meaning of what close family means to our society and themselves.

Remembering the days of my teenage years when American families were patriotic enough to fly proudly the American flag on almost every home in every town, city and state across America.   Most were Christians and not ashamed to confess Jesus Christ as Lord and savior, they attended church services on a regular basis, they taught the Bible and ten commandments to their children at home at church in schools they were not ashamed or afraid to set them as examples for children to follow posting them in the class rooms and hall walls in the school building for all to observe.   In those days the Holy Bible and the American flag were honored respected and expected to be seen in our schools, court houses and government offices both state and federal.   Today they are not allowed on the premises of schools government buildings and many homes that still have them never open them or read them.   

What would you say has our country gone from bad to good or from good to bad?

Our country was in those days proud to be called one nation under God.   Today it is fast becoming one nation without God, America has taken and enjoyed all the blessings of God these many years and now they want to remove God from their lives and our country.   Which America will soon find is a fatal and tragic mistake turning from the God of our blessings to the gods of technology and science is to remove our God given blessings in exchange for His wrath and curse.

In the days of my growing into adult hood times were simple people lived free simple lives the only stress they had was from hard work from daylight until dark.   In today’s world people are all stressed out because they can’t pay the bills resulting from all the stuff they think they can’t live without and trying to live above their means

High school and college education was encouraged but training in the Holy Bible was stressed more important.   Parents wanted their children to be well versed in the Holy Scriptures and wise in the word of God they wanted their children to become adults with common sense rather than worldly college educated idiots.     “Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,”.   Romans 1:22

Here is a word picture of the time we are now living in you compare what I have said with these words and decide for yourselves.   

Are we better off today than we were then?   Has science and technology changed America and the world for better or for worse?   Or are we destroying ourselves with these things?   Are we not abandoning what was good for America and accepting what is bad for the health and prosperity of America?   Is our American schools and colleges turning out better educated children without God and the Bible?   Or are we not seeing our beloved country overflow with college educated fools having neither wisdom nor common sense?

But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days.   People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy,   without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good,   treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God—  having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with such people.

They are the kind who worm their way into homes and gain control over gullible women, who are loaded down with sins and are swayed by all kinds of evil desires,   always learning but never able to come to a knowledge of the truth.   Just as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so also these teachers oppose the truth. They are men of depraved minds, who, as far as the faith is concerned, are rejected.   But they will not get very far because, as in the case of those men, their folly will be clear to everyone.

2 Timothy 3: 1-9 (NIV)

You do what you will!   But, “See, I set before you today life and prosperity, death and destruction”.   Deuteronomy 30:15

America may consider herself to no longer be One Nation Under God or the Christian nation she once was but for me and my house hold we remain and always will be one family under God we will remain a Christian family left standing by the love and power of God while todays America is falling into destruction because of her choice to push God from their lives and our country.

But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved”.

Those of you who understand anything at all about this life we live, can see that we didn’t show up one day on earth to breeze through life.   We were created by someone greater than we and placed here for His purpose and pleasure, of all the books that I have read all the things that I have seen and all the studies I have made in my observation of life, nothing makes more sense to my little finite brain than creator and the created.   

The creator of all things who took a vast emptiness of dark nothing and spoke through His all-powerful word everything that was, is and is to come in to existence.    He was known by past generations under many different names,

http://www.pray-the-scriptures.com/prayingthenamesofgod/thenamesofgod1/page70.html   He was known to Adam as The Lord God,

I appeared to Abraham, to Isaac and to Jacob as God Almighty, but by my name the LORD I did not make myself fully known to them.   Exodus 6:3

To us He is known as God,Almighty God,heavenly Father,Holy Ghost,Jesus .   But the important thing to know is that He is the divine creator and we are the lowly created.   Before we were born He knew us and planned our lives according to His will and purpose.

From that first day that God took the dirt of the earth and formed Adam and breathed into Adams lungs His breath of life and Adam became a living soul.   Adam started on a journey through life filled with trials and tests, choices he would have to make for the good or bad that happened in his life.

We all know where Adams choices took him.   Every living soul goes through trials and tests at the command of God under His will and purpose to prove us, whether we meet His high standard or fail He leaves up to us.

The apostle Paul described life as running a race with a prize at the end.      Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize.   1 Corinthians 9:24

We all come here in the same way first God speaks us into existence then He breathes life into us and places us where He wants us.   We all have equal footing when we start our race, we have a body, we have a living soul and we have God’s gift of free will choice, from that point own we have to fight through many obstacles, trials and tests for our survival, no one is exempt from the survival course we must run.   No one reaches an easy run finish line we must all give our run everything that we have to win the prize at the end.

You know I can state it this way if you saw the game between the Dallas Cowboys and New Orleans Saints last evening you noted that both teams came onto the field in an equal capacity but only one left the field a winner.   Dallas Cowboys beat the New Orleans Saints 38-17 on Sunday Night Football.    You also know that the game was not played with ease the Cowboys fought and played hard to reach the prize of a winner.

We are all in the race for our lives the prize at the end for winners is eternal life in the kingdom of God, to those who surrender their lives to sin and drop by the wayside there is death, and there is no glory in death, the glory goes to the winners, whether we run with endurance to the finish line and complete our race victoriously is entirely up to each of us.

Now we know that the spirit in us is willing but our flesh is weak and if we run in our own strength none of us could ever win we would all fail and lose the race missing out on the rewards that God promises to those who endure.   Jesus said, “ But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved”.   Matthew 24:13

Jesus did not stop there because he knew that due to the weakness of our human bodies none of us could win we all would lose the race and be lost.   And so He ran our race for us and reached the finish line victoriously so that we could have a chance at winning.   Jesus went on to say, 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.   John 16:33   “All this I have told you so that you will not fall away”.   John 16:1

Understand this!   We are all in a life or death struggle we win we live, we lose we die and the only hope that we have of winning God has placed in Jesus and if we run our race holding tightly to the hand of Jesus we cannot fail, we cannot lose and we will not die.   Again Jesus said, and whoever lives by believing in me will never die. Do you believe this?"

And I say,    I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.   Philippians 4:13   And I will say as I cross the finish line, I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.   2 Timothy 4:7

Jesus and me we are a winning team His strength is made perfect in my weakness.   And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.   2 Corinthians 12:9

How about your race?   How are you running it?   Are you running alone?   Where will you stand at the finish line?   Are you among the walking sinful dead?   Or are you running with the redeemed of the Lord to win the prize of eternal life?

Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us,   Hebrews 12:1

While most of The Christian Church Sleeps in her sins, America is dying

While most of The Christian Church Sleeps in her sins, America is dying

Backslidden, Luke Warm lost its love for God, lost its love for Jesus, preaching falsehoods instead of Gospel truth, Serving Religion instead of following Christ, accepting the sins of the world into the church instead of being an example of righteousness to the world.

Godlessness, Enemies within, Enemies without, Division, Riots, Alcohol, Drugs, Sexual perversion, Crime, Corruption of the people, Corruption of Government, Immorality.

This is why it is said: "Wake up, sleeper, rise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you."   Ephesians 5:14

And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed.   Romans 13:11

Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come from the Lord,   Acts 3:19

It is not the separation of Church and state that is killing America.

It is not separating politics and religion that is killing America.

But rather it is America separating from God and His laws that is killing her.

It is time for the sleeping Christians of America to wake up and get themselves ready sound the Alarm.

The bride groom is coming, the time is at hand the day of the Lord Jesus is near.

He is coming this second time not to forgive sin, but condemn sin to judge sin and eradicate sin from the earth once and for all forever.

"Look, I come like a thief! Blessed is the one who stays awake and remains clothed, so as not to go naked and be shamefully exposed."   Revelation 16:15

The word of God is mightier than any weapon formed by man

If you can’t see that we are at war with very powerful enemies, and we are losing the battle against America, our Christian heritage and our constitution of liberty and freedom.

Then you are among the blind.   If you can’t see the need to enlist and go directly to the front lines of battle, if you can’t see that whether you oppose and fight or refuse to take your stand with those who do, against those enemies who desire to take away the things that once made America the greatest blessed free nation in the world, then you are blind.

“The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.”    ― Edmund Burke

Know this whether you do something or do nothing in this war against our country what you do or what you do not do in defense of our country our constitution and our Christian heritage will most certainly determine the outcome of this war.   We are all participants whether we fight in defense of our liberties and freedoms or whether we sit idle and do nothing each of us will effect victory or defeat for continued liberty and freedom our forefathers sacrificed their lives to give us.

As for me I have always been a doer one who will stand for right over wrong, I hate wrong and evil with a passion, I hate sin that has control over people and nations.  

I had rather die opposing the evil that is destroying my country than to live in my country destroyed by evil.   And so with passion I use every ounce of strength in my body and spirit every weapon that I have I use against the enemies of my liberty and freedom and yours.   I don’t yet know the outcome of this war against America this clash of two different cultures in fierce battle for the hearts and minds of America’s citizens.   But I do know that I for one will never give up the fight on my end until it’s over.

Most of us have heard the old saying about how the pen is mightier than the sword and words have power, well that is the reason that I write and post my blogs here on Face Book and various other sites with hope and prayer that in some small way I am doing my part in helping to defend my country and helping to save her from the consequences of losing the battle of good over evil.   To lose the war and let evil prevail will not be a pretty picture for the future of our children and grandchildren.

The word of God is mightier than any weapon formed by man, so therefore I will use God’s word as my first line of defense.

Prayer gives me access to all the power of God that He will send to defend me as I stand to defend my family and my country.

The Spirit of God in me is stronger and more powerful than all weapons my enemies can use against me, therefore having the word of God and the Holy Spirit of God in me I am more than victorious over all the power of my enemies.

No human weapon formed against me can penetrate the full armor of God which shields me, therefore I am well protected as I stand in defense of my Christian faith and the constitution of my country.

Though I have a constitutional right to own and have guns and bullets and would not hesitate to use them in the defense of my family and my country.

I believe that the first battles against all enemies of family and country should be fought in the spirit realm first, which will make our battles in the flesh easier to win.

I am a Christian first my faith and trust in God comes first, American patriot second, My first love is my heavenly Father and Jesus, my Lord and savior, my love for my wife, children and family second and I will use all weapons that I have in my possession to defend them all.

We are losing the war against Americas Christian heritage and culture our constitution and way of life are being destroyed more and more every day because so many do not see that we must fight and win the war against spiritual enemies before we can ever hope to win the war waged in the flesh against America.

The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds.   2 Corinthians 10:4

C.E.Lee 9232014

Therefore do not worry about tomorrow

When I was a child I remember that my mother lived in worry and fear most of her life.   She lived her entire life on the negative side her conversation always reflected the negative thoughts that was on her mind and possessed her heart.

She always worried about bad things happening to her and her children she lived in constant fear of horrible things that might happen in and to her family.

Even after me and my brother married wife’s and had a family of our own every time she heard the news of car wrecks or other bad things that happened in the cities where we lived, she would call us in the early hours of the morning or sometimes late at night to inquire if we were all right.

Well you know one can waste their life away worrying and being afraid of the unknown or what might happen, so much so that they do not live in the good things that do happen.

Life is way too short to spend it worrying and being fearful of things that might be or could be we need to live in the positive and not the negative.  

We all live with both the good and the bad things that can and do happen every day of our lives.   And we can choose to live with the positive and reject the negative, we can speak the positive or the negative and the outcome will be exactly as we think or speak.

The Lord God by His spoken word created the universe,heavens,earth,humans and all living creatures and by His word said all things was good.   The bad began to happen when Satan appeared on earth speaking his lies and human creatures began to listen and believe them.

The Holy Bible tells us that God created we humans in His own image therefore He put a lot of power in our tongues what we say can affect the things that happen in our lives as well the lives of others.   The scripture reminds us to carefully guard our tongues because the words that we speak can be harmful to us.

Those who guard their mouths and their tongues keep themselves from calamity.   Proverbs 21:23

It is God’s purpose for all of us that we have a good,healthy and prosperous life and we all have a lot to do with how our lives turn out.   It is true that with the good also comes the bad and evil to all of us because bad and evil is in this present world and it touches us all from time to time.

But God’s word promises us that His word is the final say and He said that He would even turn the bad that happens to us into good for us.

And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.   Romans 8:28 (KJV)

There are only three voices and tongues that can speak bad or evil into our lives and if we are careful to silence them we can live our lives as God intended worry free fearing no one or anything being always happy in the power and presence of the Lord our God.

The first negative voice that affects us all, comes from Satan reject him commit yourself to God and he will flee from you.   The second is from our own tongues guard them with the power of faith and you cannot hurt you.   The third is the tongues and voices of other humans pay them no mind and they cannot prevail against you because the most powerful tongue and voice of all is in control, always has been in control, and always will be in control of what happens to your life.   But be aware that He will not control your tongue or force the words you speak he put that under your control and mine, we are free to speak words of faith or words of doubt and the consequences of our words will be on us, we will always reap the seeds that we sow.

Jesus promise to all who will believe, “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid”.             John 14:27

So be happy don’t worry, live happy live by faith and that faith in the word of God and His Son the Lord Jesus Christ and when it’s your time to go through the valley of the shadow of death die happy because Jesus goes with you leading you through the place that He has already gone, and in your eternity you shall have happiness that God created you to have in the kingdom of His dear Son.

Worry and fear causes more stress, health problems more heart attacks more unhappiness and shortens more lives with death than anything else in this world.

"Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God; trust also in me.   John 14:1-6 (NIV)

 "Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes?    Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?    Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life ?    "And why do you worry about clothes? See how the lilies of the field grow. They do not labor or spin.    Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these.    If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith?    So do not worry, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?'    For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them.    But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.    Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.   Matthew 6:25-34 (NIV)

C.E.Lee 9202014

People can call you a liar even when you speak the truth

People can call you a liar even when you speak the truth, 

They can disbelieve what you say and what you speak and put no confidence in you because so many Christians have falsified their tongues confession by the way that they live.   If one talks like the world lives like the world the evidence of the way they live proves that they are of the world.

People cannot deny how one lives their life no matter what their tongue speaks.

A true Christian is one whose confession of the lips is backed up with the evidence that they have been with Jesus, which cannot be denied because when the Holy Ghost is in the body the image of Jesus is produced in the life.  

When they saw the courage of Peter and John and realized that they were unschooled, ordinary men, they were astonished and they took note that these men had been with Jesus.

Acts 4:13 (NIV)

Why is it that we humans think that we can hide from God?

I have never understood why it is that we humans think that we can hide from God those things we do and say.

We think it is too much that big brother has his eyes constantly fixed on us, with his snooping devices such as cameras and listening in on our phone conversations.

Let me assure you that the one who created us all, who is greater than big brother knows full well what we think say and do at all times.

If Adam and Eve the first of His human creations could not hide their sin from God and the past generations of our ancestors could not hide from God, what is it that makes us humans of today’s generation think that He doesn’t see us?

The eyes of the LORD are in every place, beholding the evil and the good.   Proverbs 15:3

God sees all that there is about us, He sees our troubles, sins, temptations, heartache, sicknesses.pain, and sorrow because He loves us He urges us to come to Him with all of our cares.

casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you.   1 Peter 5:7

Why is it that we humans when we are in trouble, are sick and in need always seek an answer from other humans before consulting our maker?

Why do humans always want to look everywhere but the right place in  seeking help, calling on family, friends, neighbors and government to do for us what God promises to do if we will only put our confidence in Him?

Doesn’t the Bible say from the book of Genesis through the book of Revelation that God desires us to call upon Him with our needs and to place all our confidence in Him?

It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man.   Psalms 118:8

and call on me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you, and you will honor me."   Psalm 50:15

This poor man called, and the LORD heard him; he saved him out of all his troubles.   Psalm 34:6

The Lord may choose to use  other humans and various means to deliver you, even granting a miracle deliverance but it is God whom you first should call upon when you are in trouble.

O LORD my God, I called to you for help and you healed me.   psalms 30:2

And a woman was there who had been subject to bleeding for twelve years,  BUT NO ONE COULD HEAL HER.   She came up behind him and touched the edge of his cloak, and immediately her bleeding stopped.   Luke 8:43-44

There is a need for Doctors, health care services,nurses and hospitals but none of these can heal you, all they can do is treat your sickness symptoms,only Jesus can heal  and He may choose your healing to come in different ways, medicines or miraculous, but it is He that you should call upon first.

But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.   Philippians 4:19

God may choose to use family,friends,neighbors or various other means to supply your needs, He can even supply them supernaturally,but it is important to know that it is He who does it.

In my lifetime I have faced many troubles, had many temptations, trials, sicknesses, diseases, some death threatening but never have I sought my help from other humans or any other source I have simply lifted my eyes to heaven and my voice to God, believing His word trusting Him fully believing all of His promises as written in the Holy bible.   A few of which I have stated above but the Bible contains many more of God’s promises.

God has always in everything kept His word to me, never has He left me to face these things alone but has always answered my cries for help and delivered me through them all.

 Bless the Lord, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name.   Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits:  Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases;   Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies;  Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle's.   Psalm 103:1-5

Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.   James 1:17

It is a foolish person who chooses to live in their sins, troubles, sickness, needs of the body and spirit when they could call upon the only one who truly loves them as no other can and is able and willing to deliver them out of all their distresses.

God sees your needs, He has your help reserved, and He is waiting for your call of faith to release it to you.

There are many ,many witnesses confirming this truth perhaps a few in your family, God confirms His word with many signs, wonders and miracles don’t let your unbelief rob you of the life you could have in Jesus any longer.

Are you troubled by something?

Are you troubled by something?   Do you hurt with bodily pain or a broken heart?   Do you have needs that it seems no one cares about?   Is your heart heavy from sorrow?   Is something bearing on your mind that won’t go away?   Are you troubled with questions it seems no one can answer for you?   Are you longing for peace of mind and heart?   Does it seem that there is no one who wants to take the time to listen to those things that are bothering you?

If this is you, now is the time for you to talk to the one person who loves you deeply, eternally and cares about you above all others, the one who can answer all of your questions, deliver you out of all your troubles, heal your sickly body mend your broken heart, supply all your needs, bring peace to your troubled mind and give you peace in your heart beyond all human understanding.

Now is the time for you to seek an interview with God! Giving Him all of your earthly cares because He is the only one who cares for you more than any other.

And God is the only one who has the answers to your questions and problems.   You can reach Him around the clock night or day through His hotline called prayer.

Philippians 4:6-7 (NIV)

 Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.  And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

PEOPLE IT IS TIME TO QUIT PLAYING GAMES WITH OUR ENEMIES

PEOPLE IT IS TIME TO QUIT PLAYING GAMES WITH OUR ENEMIES, SOUND THE BATTLE CRY AND HEAD FOR THE FRONT LINES OF BATTLE.  THE DEATH AND LIFE OF AMERICA IS AT STAKE!   

And the church of the Lord Jesus Christ is her only line of defense.

During World War II the American people united and stood against the common enemies of Hitler’s Germany and Hirohito’s Japan.   From 1 September 1939 to 2 September 1945.

America was involved to some extent from its beginning, but became militarily involved

With the Japanese surprise attack on Pearl Harbor (Hawaii) on December the 7^th 1941 which was a military outpost of the American navy in the pacific! This was the beginning of the American military involvement.

We fought a long hard battle from 1941 to 1945 and suffered many casualties of war and many, many hardships but we won the war and saved America from collapsing under the power of our enemies.

Folks America is now in the very worst war ever waged against us our faith in God, our American heritage, culture, liberty and freedom are at stake.

Our common enemies Satan, Sin and demonic spiritual forces are gaining more ground, each and every day we are losing to the enemy more and more of those things that we once treasured and held dear. Our moral character has fallen to making us now the most immoral country in the world. We have given up our honesty to become led by the most dishonest and corrupt leaders in American history.   We have forsaken truth and right to follow lies spoken through the mouths ungodly politicians from the father of all lies Satan himself.

We have forsaken God’s leadership taken our nation from under His control and put it into the hands of those who are hell bent on the destruction of America  and putting out the light of a godly nation that once shined from  shore to shining shore throughout our God blessed nation of prosperity and plenty.

This president said that we are no longer a Christian nation and the evidence proves him right.

This administration said that it was going to offer us hope and change and the way it looks it has kept its promise, but it is not the change that most of us expected or wanted and most certainly we have no hope at all in what it is producing.

Our only hope is in God’s promises and in the ability of the Lord Jesus Christ to change the hearts and minds of this country’s evil minded peoples.

We no longer consider our nation One Nation under God, but instead we are becoming a liberal, socialist country with no God.

We have divided ourselves into racial classes, classes of rich and poor, we have removed the middle class backbone strength of our economy and lowered ourselves to near third world country.    We have allowed immigrates both legalized citizens and illegal to cross our borders entering into our country to set up their own little pieces of America refusing to respect our God. Accept our customs and abide by our laws.   Dividing America into a bunch of little countries flying their flags living by their own customs and laws refusing to speak our language and become American citizens as was once required of them by our government.

We are losing one battle after another because we are no longer united and organized to fight these kinds of enemies.   These are mostly spiritual enemies in high places and far too many Christians have forsaken putting on the full armor of God and have no weapons effective enough to fight the enemy with.

Our Christian church for the most part has become so luke warm and cold toward their love for God and our Lord Jesus Christ that the Holy Ghost has left  most of them and they no longer have an effect of saving lost souls or delivering them from darkness unto the glorious light of the gospel of Jesus Christ, where they can be put under conviction for their sins receive forgiveness of sin   by the power of God through Jesus, be delivered from sinning in their flesh and the harmful addictions that are hurting and harming them and our country.  The messages of many Christian preachers are more about telling them how to manipulate God for things that pleasure the flesh and riches to satisfy their greed than how to get them saved and transformed in to new creations in Christ Jesus.

Because our nation has chosen political correctness over the truth and so many in the Christian church is so fearful of speaking the truth we are losing the war between good and evil Satan, Sin and the flesh.

Our nation has held tightly to religion America boasts of the highest number of religious beliefs in the world we have a higher number of professed Christians than anywhere else in the world.   But as a nation we have denied the power of God and rejected the laws of God.

If we are to win this war and save our nation from total collapse and ruin, we as a nation of peoples are going to have to unite again in our efforts to save her.   Our Christian churches are going to have to become one union again uniting under that banner of love for God the Lord Jesus Christ and one another.

We are not going to win this war with guns and weapons of the flesh, we are going to have to dress in the full armor of God.   The war between good and evil, Satan, and the demonic spirits that follow him and the sins of our human flesh require much and continued humbleness, fasting and prayer.

And if we don’t win this war America and her peoples are defeated and dead.

 Romans 6:23King James Version (KJV)For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Wake up children of God rise from your comfortable bed of sleep dress in the full armor of God and go out to defend your faith and your country in the name of Jesus and the power of God.

Ephesians 6:10-18 (NIV)

Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power.  Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes.  For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.  Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand.  Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place,  and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one.  Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.

And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people.

THEREFORE PUT ON THE FULL ARMOR OF GOD, SO THAT WHEN THE DAY OF EVIL COMES, YOU MAY BE ABLE TO STAND YOUR GROUND, AND AFTER YOU HAVE DONE EVERYTHING, TO STAND.  STAND FIRM THEN,

Exodus 14:14 (NIV)

THE LORD WILL FIGHT FOR YOU; YOU NEED ONLY TO BE STILL.”

But we the faithful members of the Church of our Lord Jesus Christ must first take a united stand against the evils that are engulfing our nation and after we have stood up and done all that we individually can do, then stand still hold our ground and watch God in His great and mighty power deliver America from the hands of all enemies.

I AM GOING TO TALK DIRTY IN MY POST TODAY

I AM GOING TO TALK DIRTY IN MY POST TODAY

The most valuable part of earth we humans treat as insignificant, yet it is the most valuable to our physical existence.   We are quick to remove it from our bodies, our clothes and our homes.   Most on a daily basis bathe our bodies, wipe it from our house hold furnishings and sweep it from our houses.   We can’t stand to see it in our cars, offices and places of work.

But out of it came our fleshly bodies that clothe our souls, it produces the food that we eat to stay alive and holds our earth together.   No soil no solid earth the very substance that we treat as of little importance gives us the solid place beneath our feet to stand and walk on.

Out of it in God’s appointed time He gave us life and clothed us with it.   And in God’s appointed time He will return us to it.

Dirt is no respecter of persons, there is no racial discrimination, no preference between male and female, adults or children, it does not prefer the rich over the poor, the educated over the illiterate, neither does it matter to dirt what language we speak or what we believe or don’t believe.

Dirt simply is where we all came from and it is where we all will return when our time on earth is finished!

Dirt does not care how good or how bad we have lived our lives, it accepts us all as equals when we are created from it and when we return to it.

But above dirt Almighty God is the most important part of our existence it is He who formed us from the dust of the earth and placed us in our mother’s womb, it is He who breathed into us His spirit of life and He is a respecter of persons, God will separate us one from another at death according to how we have lived our lives on earth.

We should all honor Him, worship Him and be thankful to Him because He is our life we all live and walk and have our being because He gave us a body of flesh and breathed into our lungs His breath of life and each of us became a living soul.

God put us here on earth to fulfill His will and purpose, and whether we fulfill it or fail it is left up to us.

Whether we live life to please God or we go through our short time on earth rebelling against God rejecting His will and purpose for His creation of us, is our decision to make it is we and we alone who choose the way that we will go and what we will do with our lives.

But know this God hates sin and He hates evil He has sworn His wrath on evil and pronounced death and eternal punishment upon all sin.

At death the body of flesh returns to dust and each of our souls are separated one from another some for eternal life in heaven and some to receive the eternal punishment of hell fire from righteous holy God who does not change, punishment prepared for Satan and the fallen angels who were tempted to sin and followed him.

When we humans choose to follow Satan yielding ourselves to the sinful temptations of the flesh, knowing full well the wages for our sin is death.   And knowing that God hates all sin and we without excuse choose to live in it.   It is very foolish to think that we in our rebellion and sin could ever hope to escape the punishment of Satan, fallen angels and devils.

Hebrews 2:3-4 (KJV)

 How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them that heard him;

God also bearing them witness, both with signs and wonders, and with divers miracles, and gifts of the Holy Ghost, according to his own will?

Hebrews 9:27 (KJV)

 And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:

Ecclesiastes 12:7

and the dust returns to the ground it came from, and the spirit returns to God who gave it.

Matthew 25:32

And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a

shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:

1 Peter 4:18

And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?

Matthew 25:46

And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.

Are you prepared to accept where you’re going if your appointed time ends today!

John 3:16-17 (NIV)

 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.   For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.
