THROUGH THE STORM, AS WE HEAD TO THE THE PROMISE LAND!!!

Paul tells us in Eph. 5:11 to “Put on all of God’s armor so that you will be able to stand firm against all strategies of the devil.” And by equipping your life with the armor of Christ, you are telling Satan that your faith is unmovable, and your God has gotten you THROUGH THE STORM, AND now you are HEADED TO THE PROMISE LAND.

In 1 john 4:4 it tells us, “You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world..” My friends that is a PROMISE from A FATHER TO HIS CHILDREN to “walk by faith, not by sight.” as He transforms our character to ENDURE THROUGH THE STORM.

Remember God Is greater than the storm that the forces of evil may create in our life to discourage this journey that will lead each of us to God’s pure and holy kingdom. THROUGH our FAITH GOD allows us to understand His will for us as we focus on the fact that HE IS THE PERFECT STORM OF OUR LIFE.

Ps. 16:8 tells me I know the LORD is always with me. I will not be shaken, for he is right beside me.” So My friends be STEADFAST, IMMOVABLE, always ABOUNDING in the work of the Lord,” which tells me to always allow my faith to expand, because it has no limits with Christ, because He will be with us THROUGH ANY STORM, AS WE HEAD TO THE PROMISE LAND because He is ……. the author and finisher of our faith,…..” Hebrews 12:2

Remenber my friends When Job’s hope had disappeared and everything he held dear to him was lost, “Job 1:20-22 says At this, Job got up and tore his robe and shaved his head. Then he fell to the ground in worship and said: “Naked I came from my mother’s womb, and naked I will depart. The Lord gave and the Lord has taken away; may the name of the Lord be praised. ”IN ALL THIS, JOB DID NOT SIN BY CHARGING GOD WITH WRONGDOING.”

In spite of the tears. Psalm 30:4-5 tells us to “Sing praises to the Lord, you saints of His, And give thanks at the remembrance of His holy name. For His anger is but for a moment, His favor is for life; Weeping may endure for a night But joy comes in the morning.”

Yes “Weeping may endure for a night.” but He will get us THROUGH THE STORM AS WE HEAD TO THE PROMISE LAND That statement gives me a reason to shout and praise God’s name, before my joy in the morning even arrives, because God’s promises tells us our weeping will only last through the night.

Because at the setting of the Sun, and darkness surrounds the firmament over the sky. My joy and hope awaits me in the morning. David uses the night to show us that our weeping is temporary, the night isn’t going to last, so the only place for your trust is in the loving arms of our Savior, because everything else is temporary.

Joshua 1:9 say’s  “Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.” weather at night or day, in the storm or in sunshine.

Remember my friends the “world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.” 1 John 2:17  So today my friends focus, and ENDURE, the journey is worth it for “no eye has seen, what no ear has heard, and what no human mind has conceived” the things God has prepared for those who love him. 1 Cor. 2:9  Earth is that place of eternal preparation, but you must get THROUGH THE STORM  BEFORE YOU CAN GET TO THE PROMISE LAND.

“When I saw what lay before me, Lord, I cried, what will you do? I thought He would just remove the STORM, But, He gently led me THROUGH, AS I HEADED TO THE PROMISE LAND Because He knew Without fire, there’s no refining, without pain, no release, without flood, there’s no rescue, without testing, no belief. THROUGH the pain, and THROUGH the glory THROUGH THE STORM we will always, THROUGHOUT ETERNITY be able to tell the story, of the God whose power and mercy, will not fail…to take us…” THROUGH THE STORM AS HE HEADED US TO THE PROMISE LAND (Gaither Vocal Band)

So my friends today. Stay focused, remain faithful, love one another and endure till the end and never forget to STUDY&PRAY

“WHO DO YOU SAY THAT I AM?”

“And Jesus went on with his disciples to the villages of Caesarea Philippi. And on the way he asked his disciples, “WHO DO PEOPLE SAY I AM?”And they told him, “John the Baptist; and others say, Elijah; and others, one of the prophets.” And He asked them, “But WHO DO YOU SAY THAT I AM?”  Peter answered him, “You are the Christ….”Mark 8:27-30

Today my friends let’s focus on the words “WHO DO YOU SAY THAT I AM?” I want you to individualize that question as you go into the villages of Caesarea Philippi, and make yourselves part of the conversation with Christ as he ask you, and I first “WHO DO PEOPLE SAY I AM?”

Well we would probably answer Him by saying. The HINDUS acknowledge multitudes of gods and goddesses, but they never mention a son who is the Savior of the world. The Buddhists say there is no deity so that excludes you all together.

The New Age followers believe they are God so you are irrelevant in there world. And the Muslims believe in a powerful but unknowable God and I think Muhammad would be there savior. And of course most of the rich believe in only one god there wealth, So I guess that is there only begotten son.

So now we become Peter, as Christ ask us point blank “But WHO DO YOU SAY THAT I AM?”  wow!!! We weren’t expecting that question but since it has been presented to us let’s just focus on where Christ found us, and where he has brought us to on this Journey we are on.

It was such a simple question when we were speaking about other religious believers, but now “WHO DO WE SAY CHRIST IS?” My friends you can only answer Christ question if you have had a PERSONNEL RELATIONSHIP WITH CHRIST AS YOU GO INTO THE THRONE ROOM and touch the scares on his hand, and run your hands across His brow as you feel the pain He went through for our Salvation. Touch His side now, and picture the spear penetrating as the blood and water “flows from a fountain filled with blood drawn from Emmanuel’s veins;” Oh yes that precious blood.

My friends now invite Him to your most sacred place, show Him where YOU SHOULD lay prostrate each day, and where YOU SHOULD pray until daybreak, as you cry out “LORD I WILL NOT LET YOU GO UNTIL YOU HAVE BLESSED ME.”

And now just sit beside the GOOD SHEPHERD, and recognize His PRESENCE, and talk to Him as a Friend, and your Savior as you tell Him. I am a wretched SINNER, and IN SPITE OF ALL YOU DO FOR ME, I have become so busy with the cares of this world, I really don’t know how to answer that question.

But today my friends lay in HIS BOSOM, and feel the warmth of HIS TOUCH, Listen to every HEARTBEAT that PUMPS FOR YOUR SALVATION, as we make this experience real, and once you do, you will know in your heart, the Master will never have to ask you again “WHO DO YOU SAY I AM?”

Because you now have been in the PRESENCE of Christ, and when that happens my friends a transfusion, that leads to a transformation takes place as our Precious Saviors blood now flows through your veins, and you can now tell the world “I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself up for me.” Gal 2:20

And since we will never let Him leave our PRESENCE, our mouth and what we say, and put in it is now sealed with the blood of Jesus, our eyes and what we see, our ears, and what we hear are now sealed with the blood of Jesus, our feet and where we go are now sealed with His blood, yes my friends every fiber of our being now flows with the blood of our Savior.

My friends This question  “WHO DO YOU SAY I AM” was asked, because our Savior needs to know how important is your Eternal Destiny, because sooner then we think my friends God is going to stand up and say it is finished “He who is unjust, let him be unjust still; he who is filthy, let him be filthy still; he who is righteous, let him be righteous still; he who is holy, let him be holy still.” Rev.22:11

So my friends today. Stay focused, remain faithful, love one another and endure till the end and never forget to STUDY&PRAY

A REGIMENT OF ONE, AND THE KING!!!

I am A Soldier for Christ, a Warrior and a team member. I serve those WHO SEEK HOPE, as I live out my Christian Values. I will always place the mission to spread the good news of the gospel and Christ soon return first and foremost in my life. I will never quit, or accept defeat. I will never leave a fallen comrade for Satan to destroy. I am DISCIPLINED, and MENTALLY TOUGH, I am TRAINED and PROFICIENT in my TASKS to ENDURE TILL THE END.

I will always maintain my arms which is “the BELT OF TRUTH buckled around my waist, with the BREASTPLATE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS in place, and with my feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the GOSPEL OF PEACE. In addition to all this, I will take up the SHIELD OF FAITH, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. And I will Take the HELMET OF SALVATION and the SWORD OF THE SPIRIT, which is the WORD OF GOD. And I will PRAY IN THE SPIRIT on all occasions with all kinds of PRAYERS and REQUESTS…..” Eph 6:14-18

My interpretation of the U.S. Soldiers Creed, along with Paul’s Armor of protection against the forces of evil. Now let’s go to David and his ELITE SPECIAL FORCES of men called The THREE and the THIRTY in 1 Chron. 10:11-47 and 2 Samuel 23:8-39 you can read all of there adventures as they fought for their King.

Oh to be among the elite, we each should aspire for, because they were unique in there skills and endurance. Josheb-basshebeth, killing 800 with a spear . Shammah stranded in the middle of a field, held his ground while beating back an infantry of advancing Philistines.

But today let’s focus on Eleazar, one of the three of the elite warriors, he was with David when they gathered at Pas Dammim for battle. everyone retreated, but the King and Eleazar who stood their ground and struck down the Philistines until Eleazar’s hand grew tired and froze to the sword. And the Lord brought about a great victory that day…. 2 Samuel 23:9-10

Here you have the Kings entire regiment retreating, except one, Eleazar who stands his ground with the king and fights until His Hand froze to the sword. My friends I need you to  focus on what is happening Here EVERYONE RETREATS EXCEPT THE KING, AND ONE whose sword and hand, became as one, which can only happen when produced under very intense heat or under very extreme scientific conditions.

And when the smoke cleared, only two men were standing, The king and Eleazar clinging to his sward for dear life. Paul tells us part of the Armor of God is the Sword of the Spirit which is THE WORD OF GOD. My friends as children of the king we must also cling to the SWORD OF THE SPIRIT until it becomes INFUSED to every fiber of our MIND AND BODY.

And once this happens its no battle we cannot win with THE KING. My friends our world desperately seeks the Hope of a Savior, and most of the time it will only be an army of one, but with the Spirit of God Like Eleazar who would not leave the battle field even though deserted by others was still willing to draw his sword against the enemy even under insurmountable circumstances. And because of his faith and endurance “The Lord brought about a great victory.”

And He will do the same for us if we remember our ALLEGIANCE IS TO THE KING as we give Him all the glory and honor. As God’s chosen soldiers we must also have a  passion for what we are fighting for, which is a VICTORY for every soul that Satan has laid a claim to.

For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places Eph 6:12 like the three and the thirty battle driven warriors in David’s elite squad they had a cause that made them passionate about winning the battle for the king who was also passionate about his elite force, and the FINAL VICTORY.

So as God’s chosen we must be passionate about the battle  because the King was so passionate about us that he SACRIFICED HIS ONLY SON so that we may all be conquerors in this war and claim victory, and one day if we STAY FOCUSED, have FAITH, ENDURE, and remember there is no other name by which we will be saved except JESUS CHRIST. THEN GOD’S KINGDOM AND ETERNITY WILL BE OURS

So my friends today. Stay focused, remain faithful, love one another and endure till the end and never forget to STUDY&PRAY

AS GOD’S CHOSEN, OUR GOAL IS TO DEFINE WHO WE ARE, AND NOT ALLOW THE WORLD TO DO SO.

Saul and the men of Israel were allowing the Philistine army and there champion Goliath to DEFINE WHO THEY WERE, as he challenged them with the words “I DEFY THE ARMIES OF ISRAEL. And cursed them with his gods.”

But David a man after “God’s on heart” knew he could not let this uncircumcised Philistines DEFINE Israel and THERE God. For who is this philistine David ask “that he should defy THE ARMIES OF THE LIVING GOD” I WILL DEFINE WHO WE ARE, AS GOD”S CHOSEN.

“You come to me with a sword, with a spear, and with a javelin. But I come to you in the name of the Lord of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel,” whom you have TRIED TO DEFINE. “This day THE LORD WILL DELIVER YOU INTO MY HAND.

My friends as God’s chosen this is how you DEFINE WHO YOU ARE. Job’s wife tried to DEFINE HIM when she said to him, “Do you still hold fast your integrity? CURSE GOD and die!” Job 2:9 But job DEFINED WHO HE WAS when He told her in verse 10 Thou speakest as one of the foolish women speaketh. What? shall we receive good at the hand of God, and shall we not receive evil? In all this did not Job sin with his lips BUT AS GOD”S CHOSEN HE DEFINED WHO HE WAS.

In 1 Kings 18 Elijah did not allow Ahab, Jezebel, or the priest of Baal TO DEFINE WHO HE WAS as he stood in the presence of Ahab the king of Israel, while at the same time conscious of the presence of God.

So he had faith in what his God would do, and did Do, Because everyone at that point even Israel felt that the God of Israel was dead or was no longer among them, but for Elijah the God of His strength DEFINED HIM, in 2 Corinthians 12:9 it says,

“My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me.” Elijah had a purpose in mind the purpose was that everyone might KNOW THAT GOD DEFINED HIM AND HE WILL ALSO DO THE SAME FOR each of us IF WE HAVE FAITH AND BELIEVE.

My friends as we travel this Journey God has placed us on do we allow the world to DEFINE US because we are not UNIQUE, we blend in with the crowd because our CHARACTER is so much like the world in the things we do and say.

When we go to work or talk to our friends who do not know God as we do. Can we describe as much, or more about the latest episode of SCANDAL, HOUSE WIFE”S OF ATLANTA, or NCIS as they can. For Paul tells us in Eph. 2:10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.

My friends that tells me as GOD”S CHOSEN we REPRESENT THE LINING GOD, not the god of this world. Peter also tells us in 1 Peter 2:9 “you are a CHOSEN RACE, a ROYAL PRIESTHOOD, a HOLY NATION, a people for HIS OWN POSSESSION, that you may proclaim the excellencies of Him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light.”

But how can we proclaim God if we are no different then the world in what we do and how we act. My friends the world can DEFINE YOU if you are not DEFINING WHO YOU ARE THROUGH GOD, yes my friends WE HAVE TO DEFINE THIS JOURNEY GOD HAS PLACED US ON, IN HOW WE LIVE OUR LIFE EACH DAY, THROUGH HIM, and at the same time spread the good news of the gospel and Christ soon return.

And this can only be done if OUR CHARACTER is UNIQUELY DIFFERENT from the world. “And not conformed to this world, but  transformed by the renewing of our mind, that we may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.” Romans 12:2.

My friends our FOCUS must remain on OUR GOAL and that is to get to THE PROMISE LAND. But once again we must have THE SAME PASSION for the Journey, and finishing it, that we have for what we anticipate in all God has planned for us once we get there. SO AS GOD”S CHOSEN, DEFINE WHO YOU ARE THROUGH CHRIST, AND DON’T ALLOW THE WORLD TO DO SO FOR YOU.

So my friends today. Stay focused, remain faithful, love one another and endure till the end and never forget to STUDY&PRAY

SATANISTS SEEKS SPOT NEXT TO TEN COMMANDMENTS!!!

SATANISTS SEEKS SPOT NEXT TO TEN COMMANDMENTS  MONUMENT ON STEPS OF OKLAHOMA’S STATEHOUSE.  Today’s headlines from the Associated press “You said in your heart, ‘I will go up to heaven I’ll raise my throne above the stars of God. I’ll sit as king on the mountain where the gods meet. I’ll set up my throne on the highest slopes of the sacred mountain. I will rise above the tops of the clouds. I’ll make myself like the Most High God.’ Is.14:13-14

My friends let’s focus on prophecy today. I will interpret it from History and God’s word, but you must develop a PASSION to search the scriptures yourself, while determining what part God’s chosen plays into HISTORY, and PROPHECY on our Journey to the PROMISE LAND.

First let’s go to Genesis 3:15 since we already know how this conflict will end “and I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed: he shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.” Gen. 3:15  This is our FIRST PROPHECY (Jesus will, and has defeated Satan). God PROPHESIES Satan would wound the MESSIAH (you shall bruise His heel) which Satan managed to do on Calvary but Christ was the CONQUEROR, but the MESSIAH would crush SATAN with a FATAL BLOW TO THE HEAD (He shall bruise your head) My friends, the war was won on CALVARY, AND ONE DAY SATAN WILL BE DESTROYED.

1.   DANIEL PREDICTS PROPHECY: Thou, O king, sawest, and behold a great image…..This image’s head was of fine gold,(BABYLON 605 BC-539) his breast and his arms of silver,(MEDO—PERSIAN 539 BC-331) his belly and his thighs of brass,(GRECIA 331 BC-168) His legs of iron,(ROME 168 BC-476 AD) his feet part of iron and part of clay.(DIVIDED NATIONS OF WESTERN EUROPE 476 AD-You continued looking until a stone was cut out without hands, and it struck the statue on its feet of iron and clay and crushed them..Daniel 2:31-35

2.   THE BIRTH OF CHRIST: (Between 5-2 AD) Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign: behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Emmanuel. Isaiah 7:14

3.   DEATH AND RESURRECTION OF JESUS CHRIST: (31 AD)“For dogs have compassed me: A company of evil-doers have enclosed me; they pierced my hands and my feet. I may count all my bones; they look and stare upon me. They part my garments among them, and upon my vesture do they cast lots.” Psalm 22:16-18“But God will redeem me from the realm of the dead; he will surely take me to himself.” Psalm 49:15

4. DESTRUCTION OF JERUSALEM: “There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.” Matthew 24:2, 16 The Siege of Jerusalem in the year 70 AD was the decisive event of the First Jewish-Roman War. The Roman army, led by the future Emperor Titus.

5.   A GREAT PERSECUTION or TRIBULATION “For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world.” Matthew 24:21. “…they shall lay their hands on you, and persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues, and into prisons, being brought before kings and rulers for my name’s sake… This prophecy points primarily to the long period of tribulation that took place during the Dark Ages and was instigated by the apostate church. It lasted more than 1,000 years, multitudes were tortured, burned at the stake, or both. Over 50 million Christians were slain for their faith in this terrible TRIBULATION period.

“There was a GREAT EARTHQUAKE; and the SUN became BLACK AS SACKCLOTH OF HAIR, and the moon become as BLOOD.” Revelation 6:12

“The SUN shall be turned into DARKNESS, and the MOON into BLOOD, before the great and the terrible day of the Lord come.” Joel 2:31

“And the STARS shall FALL FROM HEAVEN.” Matthew 24:29  “The STARS of HEAVEN FELL unto the EARTH, even as a fig-tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind.” Rev. 6:13

GREAT EARTHQUAKE, (NOV. 1, 1755 EARTHQUAKE of LISBON)

SUN TURNED TO DARKNESS, (May 19, 1780)

MOON TURNED TO BLOOD, (MAY 19, 1780)

STARS FALL FROM HEAVEN: (November 13, 1833)

My friends I suggest you research, what I have presented to you today, and in your own mind decide where we are today in Prophecy. for Peter tells us in 2 Peter 3:10 “But the day of the Lord will come LIKE A THIEF. The heavens will disappear with a roar; the elements will be destroyed by fire, and the earth and everything done in it will be laid bare.” But “ The time will come when God’s redeemed will all come home again. They shall come with singing to Jerusalem, filled with joy and everlasting gladness; sorrow and mourning will all disappear.” Isaiah 51:11

So my friends today. Stay focused, remain faithful, love one another and endure till the end and never forget to STUDY&PRAY

MY PASSION FOR GOD STRETCHES BEYOND THE BOUNDARIES OF HUMAN INTELLIGENCE!!!!!

My Friends Today take all of your FOCUS BEYOND any galaxy that the human mind could ever conceive existed, or will ever exist, BEYOND ALL BOUNDARIES OF HUMAN INTELLIGENCE, and once you have allowed this to happen, I need you to develop a PASSION FROM WITHIN  THAT TAKES  YOU TO THE THRONE ROOM, IN THE PRESENCE OF “OUR FATHER WHICH ART IN HEAVEN”

But my Friends this must not only be a dream, or a hope for us, but each day we must develop a PASSION to seek our Savior wherever we can find Him. Maybe in the THRONE ROOM, or in a closet, or maybe behind a tree in our back yard, or maybe just laying across our bed with our eyes closed in silent ADORATION and EXALTATION to the KING OF KINGS AND THE LORD OF LORDS.

And then once you have developed a PASSION to be in the PRESENCE OF OUR CREATOR, then one day soon “WE WILL BEHOLD HIM FACE TO FACE, IN THE CLOUDS “AS THE LORD HIMSELF DESCENDS FROM HEAVEN WITH A SHOUT, WITH A VOICE OF AN ARCHANGEL, AND WITH THE TRUMPET OF GOD.

AND THE DEAD IN CHRIST WILL RISE FIRST. THEN WE WHO ARE ALIVE AND REMAIN SHALL BE CAUGHT UP TOGETHER WITH THEM IN THE CLOUDS TO MEET THE LORD IN THE AIR. AND THUS WE SHALL ALWAYS BE WITH THE LORD.” 1Thess 4:16-17

Yes my friends I want you to acquire a deep heartfelt PASSION to be in the PRESENCE of GOD along with the heavenly host and all the angels singing HOLY, HOLY, HOLY OH GOD ALMIGHTY! And as you develop a PASSION to be in the PRESENCE of GOD, I need you to also develop this same PASSION for the Journey you are own to get there.

Remember God has chosen this generation as central participants IN THE CONTROVERSY between good and evil. So our battle scares must produce a PASSION for the battle, along with a feeling, and a determination which can only be defined by our actions.

Paul tells us in Gal. 5:24 “And those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified THE FLESH with its passions and desires.” Now Paul is speaking of another type of PASSION that we crave through the influence of Satan, and with that type of PASSION your desire is only for a PASSION for the things of this world.

But my friends you cannot have two central PASSIONS “Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other.” So if you have a PASSION for the things of this world then your prayers are NOT SINCERE, the study of Gods Word is FUTILE, and spreading the good news of the gospel will be BOTHERSOME.

So until we desire the PASSION of God’s Spirit to transform our lives as we die to self each day, we will continue to live with the PASSION that only leads to PERDITION.

“I do not understand my own actions. For I do not do what I want, but I do the very thing I hate…For I know that nothing good dwells within me, that is, IN MY FLESH. I can will what is right, but I cannot do it. For I do not do the good I want, but the evil I do not want is what I do…..” Romans 7:15-20

So if Satan can instill this type of PASSION in us, then we must have a contrasting PASSION which comes from a God with a PASSION, to give “His only begotten Son” to die for our sins, and a Son who took on the PASSION OF THE CROSS for our SALVATION.

So our goal today must be to die to the PASSION that Satan offers, and too be alive in the PASSION of God’s PRESENCE a process that we can’t obtain overnight but a process of continuous FAITH, ENDURANCE, and the STUDY OF GOD”S WORD.

My friends the world is deteriorating before our very eyes. The battle is now over our Character, but only you can decide the outcome for your soul, because the war is won, Christ will soon come to take those with the PASSION OF THE CROSS to go back with Him so “choose you this day whom you will have a PASSION FOR ; whether the gods in whose land ye now dwell that one day will be destroyed: or will you have the PASSION FOR THE TRUE GOD THAT STRETCHES BEYOND THE BOUNDARIES OF HUMAN INTELLIGENCE ALL THE WAY TO THE KINGDOM, AND THROUGHOUT ETERNITY!!!!!

So my friends today. Stay focused, remain faithful, love one another and endure till the end and never forget to STUDY&PRAY

“I HAVE FIXED MY MIND ON ANOTHER TIME”

I HAVE FIXED MY MIND ON ANOTHER TIME, and here I mean to stand until God gives me more light, and that is Today, TODAY, and TODAY, until He comes, and I see Him FOR WHOM MY SOUL YEARNS. (William Miller)

FOR WHOM MY SOUL YEARNS How sweet the sound “I HAVE FIXED MY MIND ON ANOTHER TIME” that tells me that I have completely left the cares of this world, all in the hands of my Savior Who has taken on that responsibility as the psalmist tells us in Psalm 55:22 to “Cast our cares on the LORD and he will sustain us; he will never let the righteous be shaken.”

Now my friends the key words here I need you to focus on is HE WILL NEVER LET THE RIGHTEOUS BE SHAKEN and as a child of God “The righteous are His faithful who “live by faith.” And of course “Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.” Romans 10:17

Righteousness, faith, and knowing God’s Word, each essential to the life expectancy of the other. So if we take one of those elements out it would be a real catastrophe. Mark 4:19 tells us “But the worries of this life, the deceitfulness of wealth and the desires for other things come in and choke the WORD, making it unfruitful.”

So my friends this lets me know before I CAN FIX MY MIND ON ANOTHER TIME we must dissociate ourselves from the Things of this world that do not center our attention on Jesus Christ and Him crucified, starting with what we watch on TV, the internet, what we read, and how we spend, and what we spend the resources that God gives us on.

Friends if we are serious about our Salvation there must be a deep PASSION FROM WITHIN, a PASSION for RIGHTEOUSNESS by FAITH, and a PASSION for GOD”S WORD and my friends this PASSION can only come from a transformation from what this world deems as acceptable, too THINGS ABOVE which can only happen through the power of God’s spirit.

Paul tells us “our citizenship is in heaven” So as Christians our minds must stay on things not of this world, as our PASSION stays on what my God has prepared for me. One of His promises comes from John 14:1-4  “Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in me, In My Father’s house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you……that where I am, there you may be also…..”

“THERE YOU MAY BE ALSO.” Oh what an awesome promise this is why “I HAVE FIXED MY MIND ON ANOTHER TIME” Because God’s promises tells me This world is not my home my friends we are just passing through.

And as children of  THE KING, we should always feel like aliens, or strangers in a foreign country. The Psalmist tells us in Ps. 119:19  “I am a stranger on earth” But though we travel as temporary residents, we still have a mandate as God’s chosen to tell others of the good news of A NEW HOME for all who believe.

For “Those who accept the teachings of GOD’S WORD will not be wholly ignorant concerning the HEAVENLY ABODE.” (White) And yet, “eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor have entered into the heart of man the things which God has prepared for those who love Him.” 1 Corinthians 2:9.

“Human language is inadequate to describe the reward of the righteous. It will be known only to those who behold it. No finite mind can comprehend the glory of the Paradise of God. In the Bible the inheritance of the saved is called “a country.” Hebrews 11:14-16. There the heavenly Shepherd leads His flock to fountains of living waters.

God’s people, so long pilgrims and wanderers, shall find a home. “My people will dwell in a peaceful habitation, in secure dwellings, and in quiet resting places.” “Violence shall no longer be heard in your land, neither wasting nor destruction within your borders; but you shall call your walls Salvation, and your gates Praise.

“They shall build houses and inhabit them; they shall plant vineyards and eat their fruit. They shall not build and another inhabit; they shall not plant and another eat; . . . My elect shall long enjoy the work of their hands.” Isaiah 32:18; 60:18; 65:21, 22. (E.G.White Heaven,Great Controversy) My friends as I look at the world today and what it has to offer me. I FOCUS WITH ALL THE PASSION THAT IS WITHIN ME “TO FIXED MY MIND ON ANOTHER TIME”

So my friends today. Stay focused, remain faithful, love one another and endure till the end and never forget to STUDY&PRAY

THE AMAZING GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST!!!

Romans 1:16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believe………

There was the story of a boy who was asked by his mother what he had learned in Sabbath school that day. The boy describes the story of the Israelites exodus from Egypt, but when he came to the dramatic portion about the crossing of the Red Sea, here is how he told the story:

“Moses took out his walkie-talkie and called in the Israeli Air Force to bomb the Egyptians, while the others built a pontoon bridge to crossover the Red Sea.” The boy’s mother asked, “Is that how they told you the story?” He dropped his head and muttered, “Well, no, Mom, but if I told you the story the way they told it to me, you’d never believe it!”

Most of our sentiments exactly. Whenever we read the Bible, we are suddenly thrust into a world which seems out of touch with the reality of what we as humans consider real or believable. For instance. Let’s take a few stories from the Word of God:

Let’s start from the beginning in Genesis 1:1 where God created the heavens and the earth in seven days. Next let’s go to Exodus where seas part and  millions of people traveled across on dry land. Now let’s go to the book of 2 Samuel where a teenager kills a giant named Goliath with a slingshot and a stone. But the most Amazing of all the stories in this book we call the holy Word, or Bible is the story about God himself. Who reincarnates His Son into a woman’s body.

His Son than lives a sinless life for thirty thee years and doing this time He performs many miracle, and at the same time He, proclaims the good news of the gospel. But then His on people have Him killed by Crucifixion, but for no other reason then proclaiming the truth that He was the Son of God.

After three days Jesus than raises Himself from the grave, and He does all of this for the sins of everyone who was ever created, and at the same time proclaiming before  the universe that His ways are just, and based on love. And finally if we have faith and believe everything in His Holy Word, one day soon we will go to live with him in a far away place in the sky called heaven for eternity, where sin will no longer exist.

My friends, I just repeated to you, the good news of the gospel, but it is not for the saved Christian. We are beneficiaries of it, but the Gospel is for the lost. the sinner. The adulterous, lying, stealing, gossiping, murderous, covertness, greedy generation who are seeking a sign. In Mathew 12:39 it says An evil and adulterous generation seeks after a sign. My friends history tells us millions of martyrs died for this same gospel some of you are not proclaiming to the world today.

And also My friends most of the  martyrs who died on the guillotines, burned at the stake, and were eaten by lions. were just common, mediocre men, and women like, you and I who experienced the transforming power of the holy Spirit, and just wanted to proclaim what Christ had done, and was doing in there lives as they were

“sinking deep in sin, Far from the peaceful shore, Very deeply stained within, Sinking to rise no more; But the Master of the sea Heard their despairing cry, From the waters He  lifted them, and Now they can say without a doubt, safe am I. because Love lifted me! When nothing else could help Love lifted me!

My friends what a wonderful message to proclaim as you begin to tell how our loving Savior lifted you up and brought you to Safety in His loving, caring and merciful arms. Friends if you are willing to give it all for the Master the Bible will speak for itself through Gods Spirit. Because there is power in the Word!

1 John 2:14 says I have written unto you, fathers, because ye have known him that is from the beginning. I have written unto you, young men, because ye are strong, and the Word of God abideth in you, and ye have overcome the wicked one. My friends God is seeking FAITHFUL soldiers to proclaim THE AMAZING GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST!!! today. But  My friends “I tell you, if you are silent, THE VERY STONES WILL PROCLAIM HIS NAME.”

So my friends today. Stay focused, remain faithful, love one another and endure till the end and never forget to STUDY&PRAY

THE AMAZING ROAD CHRIST HAS PLACED US ON!!!

My friends looking over our lives there has been a radical change that has taken place from where we came from to where God has brought us too today, as Heirs to the king. And it is by God’s grace that we remained on this journey with eyes wide open.

And it is probably safe to say most of us have no physical signs that we had been in a war zone, but thank God He went on a “Search and rescue mission,” reached as far into that zone as we had sunk, and saved us from the clutches of the enemy.

And as we look back over our life, so many circumstances, situations, lives lost of those we have loved or been acquainted with. And the question we probably keep asking ourselves is, why was more grace and more time extended to us.

But like Paul God allowed us that Damascus Road experience where “suddenly a light shone around us from heaven.” because our God saw something in us. And I hope like Paul we ask “lord what do You want me to do.” And each day I hope we thank God for that Road we have traveled every since He came into our lives.

Paul had been a Pharisee. He considered himself the most zealous, rigorous and careful of all Pharisees. But God choose and used Paul. because He knew Paul was capable of remaining a faithful servant that would ENDURE no matter what situation he might find himself in, even if that meant his life ending at the guillotine.

Paul tells us in Phil. 1:21 For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain.“ Acts 9:15 tells us The Lord said to Ananias, “Go! This man is my chosen instrument to proclaim my name to the Gentiles and their kings and to the people of Israel.

When you read Paul’s letters, you realize God knew that Paul would be a living instrument to the world, rich, poor, Jew, Gentile and Christian. We also being representatives of Christ are also vessels to all we come in contact with each day.

Let’s look throughout God’s word as we ask ourselves why did God choose these individuals and what was there contribution to the great controversy?  Moses and David were both murderers. Thomas was A doubter, Peter denied Christ, Abraham and Jacob were big time liar’s, Judah was a Whoremonger, James and John were hell raisers, Mark was a scary cat rejected by Paul at one time, who also was a murderer, Noah was a drunk and committed incest with His own. Daughters.

Remember, God doesn’t require a job interview or a resume from us when He chooses us because He already knows everything about us. Psalm 139:1-24 -41 says “O Lord, you have searched me and known me! You know when I sit down and when I rise up; you discern my thoughts from afar.

And He want hire and fire us when we mess up, because He is our father and Shepherd not an overbearing boss. And He doesn’t look at our prophet and loss, only our Gain and how we will give Him the glory and honor once our life has been transformed into the character of Christ.

Paul tells us in Ephesians 2:4-9 “But God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us, even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ by grace you have been saved, and raised us up with him and seated us with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, so that in the coming ages he might show the immeasurable riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God.”

Remember my friends the forces of evil looks back over our life and accuses each of God’s chosen of all of our mistakes and tells us we have gone to far to be saved. But my Savior starts at Calvary, and takes us through the trials and tribulation of this life, and places us in His loving arms, and guides and protects each of us daily all the way to his soon appearing when He will say to His Children “Well done, good and faithful servants! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master’s happiness, in my pure and holy kingdom where I have prepared A banquet table for the redeemed.

So my friends today. Stay focused, remain faithful, love one another and endure till the end and never forget to STUDY&PRAY

“WITH GREAT POWER, COMES GREATER RESPONSIBILITY!!!”

Romans 8:17-19 “and if children, then heirs heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ, provided we suffer with him in order that we may also be glorified with him. Future Glory For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us. For the creation waits with eager longing for the revealing of the sons of God.

And with God’s DNA comes the power of the cross through God’s Spirit “So now I realize more than ever the significance of the text “For God so LOVED THE WORLD, yes my friends we are THE WORLD and all of His promises goes to all who believe, “that He gave HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.” John 3:16

Now since we know we are a part of this dynasty that will forever reign, there is still that CROSS we must CARRY because “with “GREAT POWER, COMES GREATER RESPONSIBILITY” “But he who did not know, yet committed things deserving of stripes, shall be beaten with few. For everyone to whom much is given, from him much will be required; and to whom much has been committed, of him they will ask the more. Luke 12:48

My friends that tells me there is still a REFINING PROCESS, let’s take gold ore for example, it must go through a TRIED and TRIAL process, a process of REFINING and PURIFYING in order to make the substance a pure product. The first step is to heat the gold or in our Christian Journey, all of our trials of faith as we carry the Cross of our Savior which PURIFIES us for God’s Pure and holy kingdom

“So that the proof of your faith, being more precious than gold which is perishable, even though tested by fire, may be found to result in praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ; and though you have not seen Him, you love Him, and though you do not see Him now, but believe in Him, you greatly rejoice with joy inexpressible and full of glory, obtaining as the outcome of your faith the salvation of your soul” 1 Peter 1:7-9

for “I will turn My hand against you, And thoroughly purge away your dross, And take away all your alloy.” Isaiah 1:25 My friends I have now placed a road-map before you there is no SHORT CUTS to the kingdom “for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved.” Acts 4:12

And once again along with God’s DNA that we are seeking, comes the RESPONSIBILITY of showing THE SAME love that has been bestowed upon us, and that my friends is CARRYING THE CROSS OUR SAVIOR CARRIED on this journey we are now on.

But as we look at the world today we can see we are at the THRESHOLD of our Saviors return. The REFINING PROCESS has already started  to take place. ARE WE PREPARED MY FRIENDS TO ENDURE TILL THE END, do we turn off our TV’S and take every precious moment that we have left in SEARCHING the SCRIPTURES and preparing our MIND AND BODY For “great tribulation, such as has not been since the beginning of the world until this time, no, nor ever shall be…” Matt. 24:21-22

My friends Have we taken our Faith to the next level, do we seek with heartfelt prayer, daily the OUTPOURING OF THE FORMER AND LATTER RAIN From Gods Holy Spirit. Our Savior tells us “Blessed are the PURE IN HEART: for they shall see God.” Matt 5:8  My friends It does not say in the Prospector or refining and purging stages it says THE PURE IN HEART, That tells me we have been TRIED, TESTED and REFINED, and are ready for Gods Kingdom.

GRACE, is still with us my friends “If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honor, sanctified, and meet for the master’s use, and prepared unto every good work.” 2 Timothy 2:21  Strengthen, your faith my friends “FOR THE CREATION WAITS WITH EAGER LONGING FOR THE REVEALING OF THE SONS AND DAUGHTERS OF GOD”

So my friends today. Stay focused, remain faithful, love one another and endure till the end and never forget to STUDY&PRAY
