Enter through the narrow gate

 “Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it.   But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.    Matthew 7:13-14 (NIV)

For those of us who have the ability to discern we see the human society following two very different directions, two very different paths in life, leading to two very different places in the end.

There is the broad road of sin that most of the world follows, and there is the narrow road of righteousness that a very few of the world’s population follows.

If we have any sense at all we know that the human race is destroying through its desire for evil and sinful pleasures of the flesh, the world that God created placed us in and said it all was good.

We have taken that which was once good and instead of preserving it and rightly using it, we have turned it into an evil playground, inviting Satan, sin and demonic spirits of evil to dominate and control our lives our world and the road that we travel.   And by evil deeds and sinful actions we destroy our lives and a little bit more of the good earth, God gave us to live on each and every day.

It was not meant to be this way, God did not intend for it to be this way, God does not want it to be this way, but since God has given each of us the gift of free will choice to choose the road that we travel.   The majority of you have chosen the broad road that leads to destruction and rejected the only path that leads to life. Many of you are on the broad road because you are afraid of being different and you don’t want to be separated from family and friends who travel the broad road.

So you are willing to live a few short days filling your lives with the pure hell of addictions of your flesh giving yourselves over to every sinful lust that your mind and body can crave.   It is easy to live in sin and sin is pleasure to the body of flesh, but sin becomes hell on earth and leads to hell below.

The straight and narrow path however leads to a God blessed fulfilled life on earth and eternal life in heaven.   But unlike the life of sin it is a very hard life to live and without holding tightly to the hand of Jesus none of us could travel it, stay on it or follow it until we reach our destination at the end.

Two roads, two paths, two directions to go ,two lives to live, two spirits to follow the evil spirit Satan, the good Spirit God.

Who are you following today? What road are you traveling today? If God required your soul today where would your road take you?

You don’t have to be on the broad road that leads to destruction, you don’t have to live your lives in sin, you don’t have to let evil corrupt you, you don’t have to allow Satan and his fallen angels to dominate and control your lives.   And you don’t have to continue to destroy your life and your world through sin.

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.   John 3:16-17 (NIV)

You see! God made a way to fix our broken lives and our broken world.

Let God save you through Jesus, and you through Jesus can live to help change the direction of your world and help lost souls to get off the broad road and on the narrow path that leads to an abundantly blessed and eternal life.

Living by Faith

The LORD had said to Abram, "Go from your country, your people and your father's household to the land I will show you. Genesis 12:1

I sense in my heart that God is telling me to share something of my past with you and when I am confident that it is God speaking to me I always obey, because He is my Supreme commander.

Following His instructions always completes His purpose and brings blessing to me and to those whom my testimony was meant to uplift and encourage.

So here goes my heart with Gods message.

In the year 1967 I as a young new born Christian not fully understanding all that God wanted to do in my life and with my life. I began hearing a voice inside of me speaking to my heart and saying to me, pack up your family leave the place of your birth and the home that you have known, leave your family and friends and move to southern Arizona I have a work for you to do there.

These thoughts troubled me much and I spent many days in prayer concerning what I thought God was asking me to do trying to understand why and the reason for it.

Still my thoughts were continually thinking about Arizona and I couldn’t understand why.

All that I ever knew about Arizona was learned from old western movies and the child hood Cowboys and Indians games my brother and I played imagining ourselves heroes and villains of the Wild West.

I was always the good guy an Arizona or Texas Ranger and my brother played the part of the bad guy.

After many days of praying and thinking of what I was going to do, I finally accepted the fact that indeed it was God speaking to my heart and I had to obey His will for me.

I came home from work one Friday afternoon in April of 1967 and I said to my wife lets pack it up we are moving to Arizona.

At that time in our lives we were living from pay check to pay check and did not have any savings at all.

We had only our small children two sons and a daughter the oldest was 6 years and the youngest 9 months old.

We had a 1962 Chevrolet Corvair and it wasn’t paid for and $300.00 in our pockets and I was telling my wife we were going to Arizona a two thousand mile trip from our home town New Albany,Indiana.

But how would we make it that far and how would we live after we got there, if we even got there?

This was her questions to me, and I said to her we are going with faith in God who promises to provide for us everything that we need.

And so we said our good byes to the family and friends and headed west after traveling about four days on the road we reached our destination, Tucson Arizona.

We arrived late in the evening on a Friday afternoon and of all things we wound up on a beautiful area called Miracle Mile.

With only about $150.00 dollars left of our $300.00 that we started out with we stopped at a motel called the Don Motel there on the Miracle Mile strip.

Keep in mind we had no relatives and no friends in this strange city that God had sent us to and all we had for our survival was $150.00 dollars and our faith in God to provide for us.

Out of that$150.00 dollars we paid for a one week stay and settled in for the week end.

On Monday morning I got up early left my family at the motel and went job hunting not knowing my way around in this big city I just drove up one street and down another.

After an hour or two I passed this one company my eyes were fixed upon it and it seemed as though the Spirit of the Lord was saying to me, this is it go in here and ask for a job.

And so I parked my car and went inside the building I told them that I was a stranger in town and looking for a job.

After an interview with the boss telling him about myself and the experience that I had to offer his company. Offering to show him letters of recommendation from my previous employers in Indiana.

He said to me you are hired I don’t need to read your letters I want to see your performance.

I worked for that company and lived in Arizona 18 years before moving my family to Texas in the winter of 1979.

I want to tell you that during all those years in Arizona and as well our years here in Texas God has kept his promises to Mary, me and our children He has always provided our needs and even more than what we needed at times, we have seen many miracles of God in our lives over the years that we have lived in His care and expect to see many more before we are called to come live with Him in heaven.

God has never failed us neither has He ever let us down as we have lived by faith in Him trusting our lives to His guidance, protection and keeping.

I will not tell you that we have not had troubles and sufferings and had need of things along the way, but I will tell you that by our faith and God honoring our faith in Him, He has given us strength to endure and always given us shelter over our heads and food in our cupboard.

There were times when we had plenty and times we had little but never a time when we didn’t have enough to sustain us.

Yet this is no cause for shame, because I know whom I have believed, and am convinced that he is able to guard what I have entrusted to him until that day. 2 Timothy 1:12 (NIV)

In the words of this old gospel hymn I will sum it all up there is no better way to live life than to live it by faith in God.

1. I care not today what the morrow may bring,
   If shadow or sunshine or rain,
   The Lord I know ruleth o’er everything,
   And all of my worries are vain.
• Refrain:
  Living by faith in Jesus above,
  Trusting, confiding in His great love;
  From all harm safe in His sheltering arm,
  I’m living by faith and feel no alarm.
2. Though tempests may blow and the storm clouds arise,
   Obscuring the brightness of life,
   I’m never alarmed at the overcast skies—
   The Master looks on at the strife.
3. I know that He safely will carry me through,
   No matter what evils betide;
   Why should I then care though the tempest may blow,
   If Jesus walks close to my side.

Our Lord will return for His loved ones some day,
Our troubles will then all be o’er;
The Master so gently will lead us away,
Beyond that blest heavenly shore.

Where is we the People of the Republic of the United States of America?

21^st century Constitutional history taking place in Washington D.C. today news worthy action happening at our nation’s capital and where is the news media? Where are the supporters of this brave few standing up for the constitution of a once free nation to be saved from the tyrants that are destroying it?

People it seems to me that there is an organized black out of information coming from a most important event concerning our country’s freedom and not many even care to hear about it.

Have the masses become as brainwashed zombies following their master and willingly giving up their freedoms without an effort to hold onto to those precious freedoms our constitution and bill of rights have guaranteed us for the past 238 years?

Our freedom to be a Christian is given us by the shed blood of our Lord Jesus Christ and yet so many Christians are silent in these very days that our faith and way of life are under attack.

Our freedoms as American citizens was given us by our forefathers shedding their blood to give us our American Constitution and Bill of rights and yet so many are willing to remain silent while we are losing them.

Have we become a nation of cowards willing to turn over our rights to control the destiny of our country to a handful of elected employees sitting in the White house mocking and laughing and persecuting the few who are willing to not only speak out but put action to their words by joining together in peaceful protest in front of our nation’s capital.

Where is we the People of the Republic of the United States of America? Why aren’t more of you doing something in support of the few American brothers and sisters who are are on the front line holding up the banner of freedom on our behalf?

If we lose our voice and our right to freedom of speech and peacefully assemble to address our grievances with a corrupt government gone wrong now.

We will never have this opportunity again this day will only come once in our life time.

Speak out now and remain free keep silent and become slaves, it is only WE the People that can make that decision.

We can unite to keep our country free or continue to separate ourselves from one another and destroy all the freedoms we have left.

A wise man once said, “the only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.”

There are forces trying to unite churches into a one world religious organization.

We are living in the time that there are forces at work in this world trying to unite and form a one world government.

There are forces trying to unite churches into a one world religious organization.

There are forces everywhere trying to unite and bring people into inclusive communities where everyone regardless of beliefs can unite with those who have chosen every kind of perverted life style that the sinful hearts of the human race have dreamed up and come to accept as normal, even though Almighty God has condemned sin and the sinner to death as written in the Holy Bible.

 I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.   Luke 13:3 (KJV)

The soul that sinneth, it shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son: the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him.   Ezekiel 18:20 (KJV)

This idea of uniting the world’s populations has been in the minds of some since the fall of the great city that men hoped to build in order to make themselves great. They thought that building the tower of Babel to reach into the heavens would accomplish that. But God came down confused their languages separated them from each other and stopped the construction of their foolishness.

Now the whole world had one language and a common speech.  Genesis 11:1 (NIV)

Then they said, “Come, let us build ourselves a city, with a tower that reaches to the heavens, so that we may make a name for ourselves;  Genesis 11:4 (NIV)

So the Lord scattered them from there over all the earth, and they stopped building the city.

Genesis 11:8 (NIV)

Today they are no different in their thoughts to make a great utopia on earth, they think if they can unite the world under one government, one religion, everyone accepting everything everyone else does as normal and right getting along with each other regardless of different cultures, beliefs and religions.

They think by this they can build a great world society of peace, equality and prosperity for all.

How foolish are their thoughts, because even if they could accomplish the deceptions of their hearts there is one group of the world’s citizens that cannot ever fit into the mold.

We are called Christians, the church of the Lord Jesus Christ, the bride of Christ, children of the most High God and saints of God.

We are called to come out from among the world and be separated from the doctrines of men and religions.

Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you.  2 Corinthians 6:17 (KJV)

We are called to be a righteous holy people unto God.

Blessed are they that keep judgment, and he that doeth righteousness at all times.

Psalm 106:3 (KJV)

 

Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.  1 Peter 1:16 (KJV)

The greatest need of the Christian church of today is to become united, be of one accord, one mind, one faith and one spirit.

We all need to be proclaiming the one gospel of Jesus Christ the full word of the living God.

We need to stop letting petty differences in the way we chose to worship God divide and separate us. We need to stop letting certain scriptures that are hard to be understood divide and separate us.

We need to read and study the Holy Scriptures more than we ever have and seek the Holy Ghost to guide us and give us understanding until we all see as through one set of eyes that perfect will of God.

We need to pray today more than we ever have for the Christian church, (bodies of believers) everywhere to become revived, stand up in unity and defeat the forces of evil that have taken control of our world and its people.

So while the forces of evil work to unite the world in evil.

Let us who are the true children of God work together with God to unite the body of the Lord Jesus Christ, which is His called out church on earth.

Let us never compromise our love for God or trust in God’s word of promise to His faithful and our faith in the Lord Jesus in order to become bonded to this world’s foolish one world order.

We cannot yield any longer to this thing called political correctness, we cannot cower in fear and silence for fear of offending and hurting someone’s feelings, because we speak the message of the Bible in love and truth.

If Jesus had compromised His calling of God and refused to tell the world who He was, is and always will be, if He had refused to bear the cruel wicked sinners cross of death, if the New Testament disciples and the old Testament prophets had allowed the world of their day to silence the message of the word of God and their faith.

All generations from Adam through today’s generation and beyond if God allows would have had no opportunity for forgiveness of sins, no salvation they could have only expected to reap God’s wrath and the judgment of Satan’s eternal hell fire prepared for him and the angels that sinned against God.

But God unwilling that any should perish but that all should come to repentance moved in the lives of all who would obey in every generation His plan to save all who will believe the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ, repent and be saved.

For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.
 For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.
 Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?

 For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe.  1 Corinthians 1:18-21 (KJV)

The Christian church then refused to keep silent they refused to be silenced and today more than ever the church needs to speak out against the forces of evil and refuse to be silenced.

There is coming a day and it is not far off when Jesus will call His church out of this world and when He does all hell will break out and cover the earth.

But the time is not yet we of the church must labor and work until He comes, the harvest is great and the laborers are few.

We who are awake must work to awaken those who are asleep in the church and unite for the time is at hand when we are going to face the greatest challenges and battles the church has ever had to fight and even now is upon us.

And those Christians who continue to sleep and slumber will be counted among the casualties of war. And at risk of losing their own souls through compromising with the world.

We must stay faithful to proclaiming  the good news message of forgivness,salvation and life given us in, by and through the written covenant of God’s word  and signed with the signature of the blood of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Remember the church united will defeat all the powers of evil and turn the world upside down for Jesus and in so doing will save souls from a death in sin and the damnation of hell fire.

And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven.

And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.   Matthew 16:17-18 (KJV)

The call and message of God for His church today is repent be revived unite and go preach the full gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ while it is still day light because gross darkness  is coming to cover all the earth and is even now beginning to put out what light is left.

If the gospel light goes out in the church this whole generation will be lost to darkness of sin and despair.

Hear Oh! My God my humble prayer

Hear Oh! My God my humble prayer.

Save America from her enemy’s clutch, she is falling her greatness gone, her faithful moan in deep despair.

America sleeps, her sins are many they have become her worst nightmare.

America is so brain washed and blinded, by the lusts of her flesh and not many of her peoples seem to even care.

Like the Hebrews of Moses’ time they have given up their freedoms to worship false gods created by their evil minds made by their own sinful wicked hands of men.

They revel day and night in their wickedness and sin, the war with their flesh they have no power to win.

They have rejected you the one and only Almighty God, creator of all life, they run from you.

They refuse to accept you their maker into their lives, their hearts are full of hatred and lies, unrighteous they are they cannot be true.

They have broken your laws and trampled under their feet your only begotten Son.

They do not realize the battle over Satan, sin and death for them Jesus fought and won.

His name they hate with passion, and pass their laws to silence the good news His message brings.

While they devote their time and efforts filling their lives with worldly things.

They are blind they cannot see the bonds of Satan that holds them tight.

Their flesh is weak their minds are full of foolishness, they have no strength to win the fight.

Their hearts are hardened against your word written in the Holy Bible they choose the wrong instead of what is right.

This my plea my God I cry, please don’t let America die.

Whatever it takes to turn America around I pray you will do to save our country and lift us up out of sinking ground.

You said, dear Lord, the wages of sin is death and America is nearing her last breath.

To lose her now would be great loss, when her salvation was paid for by the blood of Jesus cross.

Please save America Oh God! it will take a miracle that only you can give, to save America and let our nation live.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen.

It is God’s laws that are supreme not governments decisions

The U.S. Supreme Court Monday refused to hear the appeal of a New Mexico photographer sued by a lesbian couple after she refused to take pictures at their commitment ceremony because of her religious convictions.
Read more at http://www.wnd.com/2014/04/supremes-serious-about-gay-suits-vs-christians/#o27ikg6mUZHSGI4C.99

I don’t think we Christians should be too concerned anymore about what this unjust Supreme court determines, it is clear that in the last few years it has been taken over by those seeking to impose the will of the government over the will of God and the people.

It is God’s laws that are supreme not governments decisions.

We Christians should continue to live by the will of God, the word of God and by the power of God in faithfulness to our faith in God, and our convictions of Gods laws.

We should stand firm and strong on the convictions of our Christian principals and faith.

We should realize that, You will not have to fight this battle. Take up your positions; stand firm and see the deliverance the LORD will give you, 2 Chronicles 20:17

 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. Ephesians 6:13-15  (NIV)

The victory always comes when we kneel before God in humbleness, and stand before God in faith of His promises.

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

After all this marriage thing is not our battle to fight, it is the Lord God’s, it is He who ordained marriage between one  man and one woman in the beginning generation and it is He who will defend it in the end generation.

All He asks us Christians to do is stand still and know that He is in control of His run away human creation.

God says to us, Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth. Psalm 46:10  (KJV)

Remember this, God has not called us to prove His existence to the world, He has not called us to argue His will with those who rebel against Him, He has not called us to defend Him and His laws.

But He has called us to separate ourselves from the sins and wickedness of the world and to Love Him, believe in Him, trust in His power and not to compromise our Christian principals and convictions with Satan or any man, government or any other entity.

We don’t have to agree and accept the lifestyles of the ungodly neither can we be forced to help them by participating in their sinful living.

We owe allegiance only to Almighty God and His laws which are above all human made laws.

So brothers and sisters in the Lord Jesus Christ stand, and after you have done everything, to stand. Stand firm then.

In this world we are all the creation of God,but we are not all the children of God.

In this world we are all the creation of God,but we are not all the children of God.

I for one am tired and fed up with those who tell me that when I speak the words of my heavenly Father, I am speaking hate.

I am tired and fed up with those who tell me that I have to be inclusive and acknowledge, accept and agree with the life styles of those who live and speak contrary to what the Holy Bible teaches.

I am tired and fed up with those who legislate unjust laws in attempt to silence my freedom of speech in speaking the truth.

I am tired and fed up with those who call evil good and good evil.

I am tired and fed up with those who say that we are all the children of God and if we disagree with the sins and wickedness of others we hate them and do not love them.

I am tired and fed up of the attempts of the few who try to force me to accept and agree with their sins and wickedness that I hate with a passion.

I am a child of the living God a born again believer in the Lord Jesus Christ, saved by the mercy and grace of God, washed in the word of God my heart cleansed by the blood of Jesus from the desire to commit and live in sin.

Therefore I cannot agree with, accept or condone sin in any fashion, shape or form.

I will by the Spirit of God’s Holy Spirit in me always speak out and warn others of the consequences of their sins.

This is God’s calling upon my life and I will not be silenced.

I am separated by the Holy Spirit who lives in me and power of Almighty God from the desire to sin and live wickedly.

You see although we are all created by God we are not all the children of God.

In this world there is the children of God and there is the children of Satan (devil).

Jesus described the difference between the two in this way.

 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.

 And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not. John 8:44-45  (KJV)

These are strong words spoken by Jesus, he was addressing the God created who followed Satan not the children of God who were following Him.

In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother. 1 John 3:10 (KJV)

Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.

 They are of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and the world heareth them.

1 John 4:4-5  (KJV)

And he that keepeth his commandments dwelleth in him, and he in him. And hereby we know that he abideth in us, by the Spirit which he hath given us.  1 John 3:24  (KJV)

Now that you know the difference, which are you?
