HE was tempted in all points as we are & yet did not sin

♥♪FOLLOW ME, THE MASTER SAID ♥♪

"Jesus said unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me."

God is impressed only by our character
   by:  Zac Poonen

In the New Testament, we read of One with Whom the
 Father was well-pleased, and also of a group of
 people with whom God was not well-pleased. A study
 of this contrast is most interesting.

 God Was Not Well-Pleased With Them

Of the 600,000 Israelites who perished in the wilderness in their unbelief, it is written that "God was
not well-pleased with them" (1Cor. 10:5).

 Those Israelites had been redeemed out of Egypt by
 the blood of the lamb (symbolic of our redemption
 through Christ), they had been baptised in the Red Sea
 and in the cloud (symbolic of baptism in water and
 baptism in the Holy Spirit) (1 Cor.10:2). Yet God was
 not happy with them.

 God was nevertheless very good to them, in that He
 provided all their physical and material needs
 supernaturally. "Your clothing did not wear out on you,
 nor did your foot swell these forty years", Moses told
 them at the end of their forty years of wanderings (Deut.
 8:4).

 God healed all their sicknesses too. The Bible says,
 that "there were no sick and feeble folk among them."
 (Psa.105:37 - Living).

 God did many miracles for them. In fact, no single
 group of people in the world's history has ever seen as
 many miracles as those unbelieving Israelites did, with
 whom "God was angry for forty years" (Heb. 3:17).

 This teaches us that God answers the prayers of
 carnal believers too - and that He provides them with
 their earthly needs, even supernaturally if necessary.
 The fact that God does a miracle for us proves nothing
 about our spirituality. It only proves that God is a good
 God Who makes His sun shine on the righteous and
 the unrighteous alike!

 Jesus also warned us that in the final day of judgment,
 many who had done miracles in His Name would be
 rejected and disqualified because they had lived in sin.
 He said, "Many will say to Me on that day, `Lord, Lord
 did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name
 cast out demons, and in Your name perform many
 miracles?' And then I will declare to them, `I never
 knew you; depart from Me, you who practise
 lawlessness.'"(Mt. 7:22,23).

He was obviously referring to Christian preachers and
 healers who did genuine miracles in His Name. From
 the words of Jesus, it becomes clear that MANY of
 these men (not just a few and not all, but many) who
 have these miraculous ministries are not free from sin
 in their private lives and in their thoughts and attitudes.
 This will be exposed at the judgment- seat of Christ.

 This teaches us very clearly that the working of
 miracles, by itself, is no indication that a man is
 approved by God. Have we understood this
 thoroughly? If not, we will be deceived.

 God Was Well-Pleased With Him

 In contrast to the Israelites in the Old Testament with
 whom God was not well-pleased, we read of Jesus in
 the New Testament that the Father was well-pleased
 with Him.
 When Jesus was thirty, the Father spoke these words
 about Him publicly from heaven, "This is my beloved
 Son in Whom I am well-pleased." (Mt. 3:17). And that
 was at a time when Jesus had not done a single
 miracle or even preached a single sermon!

 What then was the secret of His being approved by
 God? It was obviously not because of His ministry, for
 He had not even commenced His public ministry. It
 was because of the type of life that He had lived for
 thirty years.

We are approved by God not on the basis of the
success of our ministry but rather on the basis of our
faithfulness in the temptations thatwe face in daily life.

 The only two things that we are told about the hidden
 thirty years of Jesus' life (apart from the incident in the
 temple) are - that "He was tempted in all points as we
 are and yet did not sin"(Heb. 4:15), and that "He never
 pleased Himself" (Rom. 15:3).

 He had faithfully resisted temptation at every point and
 He had never sought His own in any matter. This was
 what delighted the Father.

 Our external accomplishments may impress worldly
 people and carnal believers. But God is impressed
 only by our character. It is our character alone that can
 bring us God's approval. And so if we want to know
 what God's opinion of us is, we must deliberately
 erase from our minds what we have accomplished in
 our ministry, and evaluate ourselves purely by our
 attitude towards sin and self-centredness in our
 thought-life. That and that alone is the infallible gauge
 of our spiritual condition.

 Thus, the world-traveling healer/preacher and the busy
 mother who is never able to leave the confines of her
 home, have exactly the same opportunities to acquire
 God's approval.

 This is why we shall find at the judgment-seat of Christ
 that many who are first here in the Christian world will
 be last there and many who were considered last here
 on earth (because they did not have a well-recognised
 ministry) will be first there!

WITNESSES

♪Arise, Come Ye Forth, and Forever Break the Chain

Deu 17:6  At the mouth of two witnesses, or three witnesses, shall he that is worthy of death be put to death; but at the mouth of one witness he shall not be put to death.

Deu 19:15  One witness shall not rise up against a man for any iniquity, or for any sin, in any sin that he sinneth: at the mouth of two witnesses, or at the mouth of three witnesses, shall the matter be established.  

2Co 13:1  This is the third time I am coming to you. In the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word be established.   1Ti 5:19  Against an elder receive not an accusation, but before two or three witnesses.  

 Weighing the counsel of Finney and Moody

 One of the most effective evangelists of the 19th century revivals was Charles Finney. Before Finney became a Christian, he was a Master Mason. Finney wrote:We are now prepared to consider the question of the relation of Freemasonry to the Church of Christ. On this question I remark:

God holds the church and every branch of it, responsible for its opinion and action in accordance with the best light, which, in his providence, is afforded them. . . If any particular branch of the church has better means of information, and therefore more light on moral questions, than another branch, its responsibility is greater, in proportion to its greater means of information. Such a branch of the church is bound to take a higher and more advanced position in Christian life and duty, to bear a fuller and lighter testimony against every form of iniquity, than that required by less favored and less informed branches of the church. They are not to wait till other branches of the church have received their light, before they bear a testimony and pursue a course in accordance with their own degree of information.
Freemasonry is now revealed. It is no longer a secret to any who wish to be informed..... Now, since these revelations are made, and both the church and the world are aware of what Masonry really is, God demands, and the world has a right to expect, that the church will take due action and bear a truthful testimony in respect to this institution. She can not now innocently hold her peace. The light has come.
Before the publishing of Morgan’s book, the Baptist denomination, especially, in that part of the country, had been greatly carried away by Freemasonry. A large proportion of its eldership and membership were Freemasons. A considerable number of ministers and members of other branches of the Christian Church had also fallen into the snare. The murder of Wm. Morgan, and the publication of Masonry consequent thereupon in the books I have named, broke upon the church - fast asleep on this subject - like a clap of thunder from a clear sky. The facts were such, the revelations were so clear, that the Baptist denomination backed down, and took the lead in renouncing and denouncing the institution. Their elders and associated churches, almost universally, passed resolutions disfellowshipping adhering Masons. The denomination, to a considerable extent, took the same course. Throughout the Northern States, at that time, I believe it was almost universally conceded that persistent Freemasons, who continued to adhere and co-operate with them, ought not to be admitted to Christian churches. And should the question be asked, ‘What shall be done with the great number of professed Christians who are Freemasons?’ I answer, Let them have no more to do with it. Again, let Christian men labor with them, plead with them, and endeavor to make them see it to be their duty to abandon it. . . Let them be distinctly asked whether they intend still to aid and abet the administration and taking of these oaths, if they still intend to countenance the false and hypocritical teachings of Masonry, if they mean to countenance the profanity of their ceremonies, and practice the partiality they have sworn to practice. If so, surely they should not be allowed their places in the church. (Charles Finney) The counsel of Dwight L. Moody

Another evangelist of the period was Dwight L. Moody. Moody spoke clearly on the issue as well:

I do not see how any Christian, most of all a Christian minister, can go into these lodges with unbelievers. They say they can have more influence for good, but I say they can have more influence for good by staying out of them and then reproving their evil deeds. You can never reform anything by unequally yoking yourself with ungodly men. True reformers separate themselves from the world. But, some say to me, if you talk that way you will drive all the members of secret societies out of your meetings and out of your churches.But what if I did? Better men will take their places. Give them the truth anyway and if they would rather leave their churches than their lodges, the sooner they get out of the churches the better. I would rather have ten members who are separated from the world that a thousand such members. Come out from the lodge. Better one with God than a thousand without Him. We must walk with God and if only one or two go with us, it is all right. Do not let down the standard to suit men who love their secret lodges or have some darling sin they will not give up.

ENCOURAGEMENT FOR CHRISTIAN WORKERS

 *♪BRINGING IN THE SHEAVES♪*

    "My word shall not return unto me void." -- Isa. iv., II.

"When saddened by the little fruit thy labors seem to yield,
And when no springing blade appears in all thy barren field;
When those whom thou dost seek to win, seem hard, and cold, and dead --
Then, weary worker, stay thine heart on what the Lord hath said;
And let it give new life to hopes which seem well-nigh destroyed --
This promise, that His word, shall not return unto Him void.
For, if, indeed it be His truth, thy feeble lips proclaim,
Then, He is pledged to shadow forth, the glory of His name.
True this at present may be veiled; still trustingly abide,
And "cast thy bread," with growing faith, upon life's rolling tide.
It shall, it will, it must be found, this precious living seed,
Though thou may'st grieve that thoughtless hearts take no apparent heed.
'Tis thine to sow with earnest prayer, in faith and patient love,
And thou shalt reap the tear-sown seed, in glorious sheaves above,
Then with what joy ecstatic, thou wilt stand before His throne,
And praise the Lord who used thee thus to gather in His own!
Adoring love will fill thine heart, and swell thy grateful lays,
That thou, hast brought some souls to Christ, to His eternal praise,
That thou hast helped to deck His brow, with blood-bought jewels bright;
Trophies of His wondrous love, and His all-saving might.
Oh, the grandest privilege to be thus used, to bring them in!
Oh, grandest joy to see them safe beyond the reach of sin!
Then mourn not, worker; though thy work shall cause thee many a tear,
The glorious aim thou hast in view, thy saddened heart will cheer,
Remember, it is all for Him, who loveth thee so well;
And let not downcast weary thoughts, one moment in thee dwell,
It is for Him! this is enough to cheer thee all the way;
Until thou hearest the glad "Well done", and night is turned to day."

our devious enemy has 'slipped in unawares' it would seem ---the authors of Vacation Bible School Materials we are using apparently have ulterior motives.

Lifeway (Baptist church curriculum provider) is promoting satanic worship in their Preteen VBS curriculum-and I'm supposed to use their materials to teach Vacation BIBLE School?!

LISTEN TO GOD'S WARNINGS

HE WARNED US OVER 2,000 YEARS AGO! (see the books of  Daniel & Revelations)

HE TOLD US THESE THINGS WOULD HAPPEN THOUSANDS OF YEARS BEFORE HUMANS 'CAME UP WITH' THE TECHNOLOGY.

 

And he (the anti-christ)causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark (charagma; [Greek charax] meaning to stake into or "stick into") in their right hand, or in their foreheads....Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six (Rev. 13:16-18)  

 

And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand, The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb. And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name. (Rev. 14:9-11)

MADRAS — When Angelo Medina, 15, approached the cashier in the Madras High School cafeteria, he didn't have to fumble with money or swipe a card.

He just pulled his finger out of his pocket and placed it on a translucent bluetouchpad. The pad read his fingerprint, automatically charged his lunch account and let him go about choosing what to eat.

Administrators at Madras High School credit the touchpad system — new this year — with speeding up lunch lines and allowing the school to go to a singlelunch period, which in turn has decreased discipline problems.

Vice Principal Ken Clark said discipline statistics were unavailable on Monday.

The system allows students who buy breakfast or lunch at the cafeteria to prepay for their food. Each time they scan in their fingerprint, the system automatically charges their account.

Most students said they don't mind scanning their fingers every day, as long as they get their lunch a little faster.

Medina and Amanda Coffee, both 15, entered the lunch line at 12:07. By 12:16 they were getting food and a few minutes later, they'd sat down to eat it.

Last year, that could've taken twice as long, said Christina Carrillo, 18. "You had to take your lunch to class," Carrillo said.

After students put their finger on the pad, lunch secretary Betty McDonald handed each child a Styrofoam plate and they picked up a red tray, napkin and plastic silverware from a cart. During a given 40-minute lunch, about 450 kids will shuffle through the line, McDonald said.

Kyle Climer, 16, said he's not worried about the finger scans as an invasion of privacy. "I'm not, but a lot of people are," Climer said.

Jefferson County School District is one of only two in the state to use the finger scanners for school lunches, said Heidi Dupuis, a nutrition specialist at the Oregon Department of Education.

Jefferson County School District Food Service Supervisor Patty Jobe said she converted to the finger-scanning system this year to speed up lines and make accounting easier. About 80 percent of the district's students participate in the federal free or reduced-lunch program, according to state statistics.

"A lot of the students couldn't remember to bring their cards and they just took too much time," Jobe said.

Under the card system, students often used other students' cards. And if a card went missing, its owner had to pay $5 to replace it. Now, lost cards and forgotten passwords aren't a problem, said Clark. "Kids can't lose their fingers," Clark said.

The district paid $450 each for the two scanners at the high school, Jobe said. It spent about $2,500 for accounting software that goes with the scanners, she said.

Jefferson County Middle School started using a scanner at lunch earlier this month. So far it's been slower than swiping lunch cards, said Char Rowe, a school secretary.

The Rainier School District, 40 miles west of Portland is the only other Oregon school district to use finger scanners. Rainier bought the system last year, said Christi Harris, food service manager for the district.

Overall, the system is slow, but easy to use, she said. Although it works better than some other computerized systems the district used, it sometimes misidentifies a finger or two, Harris said.

The Vernonia School District in Northwest Oregon considered adding finger scanners, but scrapped the plan after parents protested the devices, said Gretchen Lindauer, a food service worker at Vernonia High School.

"We had a bunch of people in there saying it was a violation of rights," Lindauer said.

The problem, she said, was the district didn't tell parents about the program before implementing it.

The Jefferson County School District did send a letter to parents this summer before scanning the fingerprints of every high school student, said Patti Jobe, the food service supervisor for the Jefferson County School District.

According to Dupuis and Jobe, the scanners are just a way to speed lines along, and don't represent a privacy risk. The computer system only examines a few points on a student's finger and saves that information as an electronic identifying code, Jobe said. That code can't be turned back into a fingerprint, she said.

"We don't have reservations if a district chooses to use (scanners)," Dupuis said.

Still, fingerprinting children for a lunch program could make them more willing to volunteer private information, said Chris Hoofnagle, senior counsel with the West Coast branch of the Electronic Privacy Information Center, a nonprofit privacy advocacy group.

"It represents an effort to acclimate people to invasions of privacy," Hoofnagle said. "We don't fingerprint people in America except for when they're arrested or when they're in school."

Despite privacy concerns, however, the scanners are part of a growing trend of using unique personal traits, such as fingerprints, hand prints or retinas, as identification. Collectively known as biometrics, the industry made $1.2 billion last year and is projected to quadruple by 2008, according to David Fisch, a consultant at the International Biometric Industry Association.

Although security and identification make up the bulk of the industry's growth, fingerprint scanners are being tested in supermarkets and other retail settings as a replacement for credit cards, Fisch said. The technology is still rare in schools, he said.

Students in line said they weren't too happy about volunteering their fingerprints, but that the convenience of getting lunch quickly made it worthwhile.

At one recent lunch students could choose between chicken strips, pizza, turkey or ham hoagies, chef's salad, yogurt with string cheese and sides of mash potatoes, green beans and garlic-cheese bread.

Although the lunchroom is going high tech, students said the food hasn't changed.

"It's all right, I guess," Carrillo said, pushing her red tray toward the middle of the table. "I don't want any more though."

My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge

My people are destroyed for lack of knowlege, because thou hast rejected knowlege, I will also reject thee, that thous shalt be no priest to Me, seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.

*♥♪OUR GUILT DO WE CONFESS TODAY ♥♪*

I was really surprised to read the rest of that verse. GOD's people are rejecting knowledge...and forgotten HIS law. When we (HIS people) are destroyed for lack of knowledge, I see now it is not the enemy destroying us, and us going on to be with GOD in heaven.

no.

I see now GOD is rejecting us! HIS WORD says HE IS REJECTING US DO NOT LET US DECIEVE OURSELVES that HE WILL CHANGE WHEN WE ARE JUDGED after we have been destroyed for lack of knowledge.

REPENTANCE IS IN ORDER! GOD surely does love us. HE desires to forgive us, to do GOOD to us! But, the ONLY way HE can, is IF WE REPENT of all evil ways and start doing HIS Will and HIS Ways.

THEY THREW THE FIGHT IN THE TRASH

*♥♪ REMEMBER CHRIST, OUR SAVIOR ♥♪*

Josh and Thomas, very good maybe best friends got into a fight. They are only 6 and 7 years old, but it became a real 'fist fight'.
Josh's brothers (11 and 14 ) wanted to know who won!
But I was really sad...such a shame for the friends to be angry at each other-and I knew our enemy who had stirred up all this mess was loving it.
As I talked with Josh alone about it, I reminded him how JESUS taught us to turn the other cheek, and:"Thomas is your good friend...you two always have so much fun playing together."

(and, as always I pray for GOD to show me what to do or say to fix this problem!)
Josh did repent of the fight and asked GOD's forgiveness, and for GOD to fix the mess. (ok...so I have alot of experience with GOD fixing my personally made messes!...so, ok...I taught him to ask for that, too.)He went over and apologized to Thomas for fighting.
What do you know?
Thomas came over to ...talk with the boys. All 3 brothers were outside playing and Thomas came over to sit on the fence...Josiah (14) says to Thomas, "So, Thomas who won the fight?"
Loudly I said, "Josiah!" "They BOTH won! They threw that fight in the garbage! Now, they have their best friend back again!"

On the way to church on Sunday morning, I asked Thomas if he and Josh are best friends again. Thomas told me (with a big smile) "Oh, yes! We threw the fight in the trash!"

*Dear LORD JESUS,*

Please help me to always remember how YOU would want me to act/react in every situation. Help me to think of anyone I have lost friendship with and help me to throw that fight in the trash, too. I ask YOU to forgive me of my part in it all and Please, JESUS, would you fix the mess we made of our relationship.

I know you want me to contact that person...I will. YOU please make it happen...connect our paths again. When I see them, I will KNOW YOU set up this meeting so we can make peace.

Thank YOU, LORD JESUS,

YOU TRULY ARE THE PRINCE OF PEACE.

 Imagine, if you will-a little tiny flea coming to you with a piece of dust, "Here, I bring you a gift" he says.

Imagine.

TRUE: GOD won't accept just any old 'bone' we may want to toss HIS way. As a matter of fact, HE can be a little picky about it. IF we want HIM to accept what we give, we have to follow HIS guidelines. Just ask Cain (you know, the guy who killed his brother because GOD chose his brother's offering and rejected Cain's offering)...yeah. So, GOD being GOD thinks HE gets to choose what HE will accept and all. That's ok-HE IS GOD. HE gets HIS way no matter what 'opinions' pop up here and there.

BUT: Evenso!

GOD, creator of the UNIVERSE, Master of ALL we see and ALL we do not see....

if you are in adultery, if you have unforgiveness in your heart the list goes on. (alcoholic, homosexual, liar, unthankful, unbelieving, etc...)

How do I know? THE HOLY BIBLE speaks very clearly on this subject.

"If we deliberately keep on sinning after we have received the knowledge of the truth, no sacrifice for sins is left, but only a fearful expectation of judgment and of raging fire that will consume the enemies of God. Anyone who rejected the law of Moses died without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses. How much more severely do you think a man deserves to be punished who has trampled the Son of God under foot, who has treated as an unholy thing the blood of the covenant that sanctified him, and who has insulted the Spirit of grace? For we know him who said, "It is mine to avenge; I will repay," and again, "The Lord will judge his people." It is a dreadful thing to fall into the hands of the living God." (Hebrews 10:26-31)

AND GOD is sending many, many witnesses of this very truth.

You are in Great DANGER! They warn you to repent before it is too late! Dare you call brothers and sisters in CHRIST liars? When all they wish to do is warn you of empending horrors to come? To give you the message that GOD HIMSELF commands them to share?

There are many CHRISTIANS who have had near death EVEN death experiences. Oh that GOD would give you ears to hear!

He would have been condemned to hell-he had not forgiven his wife over a fight they had had-he was even careful to pray for GOD's forgiveness as he was dying-however he was shown his prayers were of no effect because he had not forgiven his wife earlier that morning...however GOD raised him from the dead instead.  Now, don't continue on in sin and think GOD will raise you from the dead. That is lunacy beyond reason. What if HE doesn't? hell! hell! You will be in hell! Never to come out! Better to 'get right' with HIM now and stay 'right' always.

Mary K. Baxter-she didn't die, but JESUS showed her hell, and many of those who are there. MANY were once saved. MANY even PRAY and sing choruses in hell. But it is too late for them.

The Apostle Paul wrote:

1 Corinthians 9:27
But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway.

The Apostle Paul (who The HOLY SPIRIT inspired to write the majority of the New Testament) wrote that it was NOT SO!

As He wrote:
He kept his body under subjection, lest after He had preached to others he himself was castaway.

If  The Apostle Paul could have 'blown it' ...
who are we that we think we can not?

I, too, am very very thankful for all JESUS did for me...for everyone.
But we must be wise! Work out our own salvation with fear and trembling. HOW? GOD-JESUS living HIS Life through you. Following the leading of the HOLY GHOST & by HIM putting to death the deads of the flesh.

Those that live after the flesh shall die after the flesh.

There are HUNDREDS MORE HOLY SCRIPTURES to back this up.

I submit to you The LORD JESUS's own testimony of The Prodigal Son. The Father said that His son had been dead (when he was off sinning). What do you take "dead" to mean? And when JESUS judges between the quick and the dead? Which side would you prefer to be on?

JESUS's other teachings: THE SOWER (think & pray over what JESUS says about the fruit of those seeds.)

The 10 VIRGINS- 5 were excluded

The SERVANTS: wise & faithful vs lazy & slothful

just read HIS WORD...ask HIM to show you HIS TRUTH. Don't take ANYONES' words on it. GO to GOD yourself! HE has PROMISED that in the day we seek HIM with our whole heart HE Will Be Found of us!

Believing in JESUS

♪ARE YOU READY FOR THE COMING OF THE LORD 

A- Admit your sins(AND turn AWAY from them!)

B- Believe on JESUS Christ

C-Confess(& CONFIRM) that HE is LORD.(by COMPLYING with HIS COMMANDS!)

2 Corinthians 6:17-18    
 17Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you.  18And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.

Not all that call HIM LORD will be saved...but those who DO the WILL OF THE FATHER!

WE must teach them that to be a Child of GOD, you must be led by the Holy Spirit.

Those who are led by the Holy Spirit, they are the sons of GOD!

Who are the family of JESUS?

Matthew 7:21Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.

Matthew 12: 49And he stretched forth his hand toward his disciples, and said, Behold my mother and my brethren!

50For whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother.   John 1:11-13 12But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:

   13Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.

He gives POWER TO BECOME...but we must put to death the acts of the old man, and be conformed to the likeness of Christ. The soul that sinneth, it shall die.

Just believing in JESUS no more makes you a child of GOD than knowing that the sun is shining makes you a star!

remember, even the demons believe-and they tremble!

James 2:18-20 18Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works.

   19Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble.

   20But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?

Draw Though the Bible:

♪ASK YE WHAT GREAT THING I KNOW

How Did the devil Make Such a Mess Out of This World?

♪BATTLE HYMN OF THE REPUBLIC

In the Beginning, GOD gave MANKIND dominion over this earth...the enemy stole that dominion away from man when Adam & Eve sinned in the Garden. The soul that sinneth is a slave to sin.

AHAH! BUT! REMEMBER! JESUS defeated the devil and took all the enemy's earthy power away from him over 2,000 years ago:

  When the disciples saw JESUS after HE was raised from the dead: Matthew 28:17And when they saw him, they worshipped him: but some doubted.

   18And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.

   19Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:

   20Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.

 

JESUS gave US power over all the power of the enemy. (however, it is a shame how very FEW are exercising their authority over the enemy. Many people are working with the enemy and helping the devil get his evil way here on earth.)

The enemy uses OUR (MANKIND'S) power against one another.

That is his big secret. The enemy gets PEOPLE to do his dirty work...to think evil, and speak evil, to fill themselves with all manner of his vile excrements (think hollywood filth for starters)....then he fills them entirely with all manner of unclean spirits. So, it is  MANKIND who has and is 'trashing and is ruining' this Beautiful and Wonderful GOD Made World.

We MUST  EXERCISE OUR AUTHORITY IT for that fact to have any significance in our lives.The enemy is in rebellion...he is not going to simply 'cease from doing evil' because you say so. WE must INFORCE the LAW over him-MAKING him obey us. We must submit ourselves to GOD, and resist the devil. Then the devil will 'flee'!

The Weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but they ARE MIGHTY to the pulling down of strongholds...

Further, we CHRISTIANS are supposed to be following in the example and footsteps of JESUS...who went around

1) seeking and saving the lost.

2) healing people who were oppressed by the enemy and

3) Overcoming evil with good and destroying all the works of the enemy.

Christian Family Ambushed in Nigeria

♪ARM THESE THY SOLDIERS, MIGHTY LORD

Christian Family Ambushed in Nigeria

Davou Bulle, his wife, and their 10 children each climbed into the van, exhausted from another full day of work on their family's farm. He started to pull away but was soon jarred to attention by the sound of gunshots hitting the tires. They were being ambushed because of his faith!

The Muslim attackers soon aimed their weapons at the driver, in hopes to first kill the Christian 'infidel' then kill his entire family. In an attempt to protect his father, son Gyan lunged at the bullets to shield him, but the bullets found their way to their intended target, killing Davou. Gyan trying to help his father took 14 bullets during the ambush. Davou's wife Mary was hit in the eye.

Mary was taken into surgery immediately. She lost one of her eyes as a result of the attack. Son Gyan was also operated on, removing all 14 bullets from his body, miraculously he survived! Davou left behind a wife and 10 children.

More than 10,000 Christians have been killed since 1999 in Nigeria and nearly 1,000 homes and churches have been burned down by Muslim radicals-all because of their faith in Jesus Christ. VOM has opened up a center in Jos, Nigeria for the purpose of helping Christian widows who have lost their husbands at the hands of Muslim fanatics. This center will help these widows develop a trade in sewing or computers so they can support themselves and their children who were left behind.

GOD COMMANDS YOU

 Ephesians 5:  17Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is.

   18And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit;

   19Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord;

♪♥ Baptize Us Anew♥♪

GOD will never forgive your unChristian conduct until you repent of it.

Perhaps you have resisted the Spirit of GOD...

This, too, you must repent of.

Some do not desire the Spirit of GOD. (or you do desire it, but are unwilling to pay the price to recieve it).

You may set yourself to pray for it earnestly, but on the whole you are unwilling for HIM to come. There are somethings you are unwilling to give up. Break off from your worldly associations. On the whole you decide not to seek HIM  unless HE will consent to dwell with you while you continue to live as you desire...That HE WILL NEVER DO.

THERE IS A GREAT GUILT FOR NOT HAVING THE SPIRIT OF GOD.

As great as GOD HIMSELF is GREAT that is how great your guilt is for DISOBEYING HIM.

GOD commands us to be filled with the SPIRIT. It is just as must disobedience of GOD's commands as if you were to swear profanely, or steal, breaking the sabbath,or commit adultery.  Just think of that.

The same GOD that says, "Do not get drunk."
Says also, "Be filled with the Spirit."

The drunkard is not living in a bit more sin than those who are not filled with the SPIRIT.

VACATION BIBLE SCHOOL

♪♥♪All Creatures of Our GOD and KING♪♥♪

I'M heading out...Tonight our Vacation Bible School Commit-ees are meeting.

The actual VBS school starts the 26th.

I'm asking for your prayers...for everything...especially the children to come & their families' salvations.?

This curriculum is...almost daunting.

I find it hard to understand why they have more references to the world than to JESUS.

Has anyone already 'done this program' at your church?

Anyway-please pray!

Thank you!

To All Dear People

♥♪Sweet Hour Of Prayer♥♪ ♥♪

I've checked them out...

These are working.

Sorry about the broken link(s) from before.

P.S.

The Owner of the website JcJunkie.com is a young man on his way in August to the mission fields (again-he's been various times before with Campus Crusade for Christ).

This time he will be going to Thailand...I'm not sure, but it may be a longterm assignment.

Please read this email I just recieved...and I know I don't need to tell you if GOD speaks to your heart to assist him-You already know.

Do You Take the Bible Literally?

♪♥ CLING TO THE BIBLE♪♥

JESUS took the scriptures literally.

So do I.
I DO take the BIBLE Literally-any other way would be Insulting GOD's intelligence, as if HE didn't know how to say what HE meant...or worse-calling HIM a deciever and a liar.

If someone says something they Don't mean-They are LYING. GOD does not lie.

What about hidden shades of meaning? THERE are no shadows with GOD. JESUS is the TRUTH and JESUS is the LIGHT. There are no 'shadows'.

GOD's knowledge being much higher than ours, we will never cease learning from HIM. As long as we are seeking HIM, we will come to know more and more. Of course, we don't "get it ALL instantly" and we do keep understanding more and more, as the BIBLE says, line upon line, and precept upon precept. However, it is ALL written Clearly and straightforwardly. GOD knows our ...humaness-even better than we do! HE knows how little our minds can take in comparison to HIS. HE send us thousands of messengers---HE WANTS US TO "get what HE is saying!"

Those who DO NOT Believe What GOD says are in sin...for their lack of faith, and essentially, they are calling HIM a liar when they do not believe what HE says in HIS BIBLE.

Remember, without faith, it is impossible to please GOD...and...Faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the Word of GOD.

NOW:
About the death sentences (in Deuteronomy & Leviticus-the LAW)..it IS pretty grim, isn't it?

HOWEVER a HOLY GOD demands no less than ABSOLUTE PERFECTION & HOLINESS of the people HE is going to let share HIS space with HIM.
GOD is TOTALLY PURE and HOLY...HE LOATHES and DESPISES sin of every nature.
HE doesn't contain HIMSELF against it, either. A FIRE comes out of HIM to CONSUME sin.

What to do then? Here are HIS beloved people, who HE created out of LOVE, and there they all go - sinning all over the place! What is HE going to do? DEATH to everyone? NO. GOD in HIS great love, said, LOOK, I WILL PAY the death penalty for mankind's sins. So, JESUS (a.k.a. Immanuel-GOD with us-)comes down to earth on a mission-to die in place of sinful men. HE accomplishes HIS mission on the cross, and the 3rd day raises from the dead-Conqueror over death, hell, and the grave. NOW, thanks to HIS Supreme sacrifice, HE has the RIGHT to FORGIVE & CLEANSE all those who come to HIM in search of cleansing and forgiveness...HE also has the POWER to give them life with HIM in heaven forever.

Those who like their sins more than they wish to be cleansed from them...those who never go to JESUS for forgiveness and cleansing-will DIE in their sins---and suffer e t e r n a l l y in the lake of fire.

A HOLY GOD DEMAND HOLINESS.
THE CREATOR GOD
  GETS HIS WAY.
So, your dad saying, "It's my way, or the highway.!.."
He got that from GOD, yeah.

The Children of GOD

    God, Our father, We Adore Thee

ARE ALL people on earth GOD's children?

While GOD created mankind, and is the sustainer of all life, HE does NOT Claim Universal Parenthood of ALL people.

JESUS told some people in HIS day they were of their father - the devil!

John 8:42-44

42Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but he sent me.

   43Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word.

   44Ye 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.

SO-we see it is VERY CRUCIAL not to confuse GOD's universal LOVE with HIS BEING FATHER to all!

GOD truly LOVES everyone equally...very very true. Christians, Jews, all the pagans. However, Dear one, we must be very clear:HE sees them NOT ALL THE SAME. No. HE sees: the SAVED (HIS children...those who know JESUS as their Master,& Saviour) and the LOST(those who haven't asked JESUS for HIS forgiveness & cleansing of their sins.)

HIS children are the only ones who know the TRUTH (JESUS). So, we're commanded to GO into all the world & TELL EVERYONE! We're commanded to live as HE did:"seeking and saving the lost."

We're to do not our will, but the WILL of Father GOD.
NOT everyone on earth is GOD's Children, oh no. Far from it.
Nor is everyone who believes on JESUS...GOD's Children either.
(are you surprised? I dare say they will be come judgement day!) Remember, the BIBLE says even the devils believe & they tremble!

John 1:12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:

(Please see that being given the POWER to Become sons of GOD means that WE  ARE NOT AUTOMATICALLY sons of GOD.)
THEN WHO? WHO, WHO, WHO!? ARE THE CHILDREN OF GOD?

Rom. 8:14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.
Matthew 7:21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.

(how I wish the churches would TEACH GOD'S WORD and GOD's WORD only!!!)
~~~~IMPORTANT TO KNOW THAT, RIGHT???~~~

FOR THOSE WISHING TO BECOME CHILDREN OF GOD:

 The Bible is very clear on the necessity of a person being "Born Again" if they are to receive eternal life<--click
