JAMES 2:24 BY WORKS A MAN IS JUSTIFIED

♪♥ O THOU WHO HAST THY SERVANTS TAUGHT♪♥

14 What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him?

15 If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food,

16 And one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body; what doth it profit?

17 Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.

:18 Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: show me thy faith without thy works, and I will show thee my faith by my works.

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

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

21 Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar?

22 Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect?

23 And the Scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the Friend of God.

24 Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only.

~~~~important comment:~~~~

Jesus said "If You love me you will obey me."  And He had a servants heart.  A servant serves.....works.  "Works" are of two types.  One, in and of themselves, has no lasting value and will burn up when in the fire.  The other kind, borne out of faith, are real and lasting, the fire will only purify and refine them.  By faith ye are saved, yet real faith will always produce works.  -  Barbara

You DO NOT Belong to Yourself. You ARE NOT the Boss over you. You are not your own.

This entry is for all CHRISTians. Once we give our lives to JESUS, and accept HIS Forgiveness, cleansing blood, and New LIFE in us...we no longer are boss over ourselves.

No.

JESUS is our MASTER and LORD.

HE is Our Beloved Saviour.  We belong to JESUS.

Is it too much to ask us to live for HIM after HE has died for us?

WHY Couldn't MOSES Go Into The Promised Land?

♪♥LORD, OPEN THOU MY HEART ♪♥

Num 20:2 And there was no water for the congregation: and they gathered themselves together against Moses and against Aaron.

3 And the people chided with Moses, and spoke, saying, Would God that we had died when our brethren died before the LORD!

4 And why have ye brought up the congregation of the Lord into this wilderness, that we and our cattle should die there?

5 And wherefore have ye made us to come up out of Egypt, to bring us in unto this evil place? it is no place of seed, or of figs, or of vines, or of pomegranates; neither is there any water to drink.

6 And Moses and Aaron went from the presence of the assembly unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and they fell upon their faces: and the glory of the LORD appeared unto them.

7 And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying,

8 Take the rod, and gather thou the assembly together, thou, and Aaron thy brother, and speak ye unto the rock before their eyes; and it shall give forth his water, and thou shalt bring forth to them water out of the rock: so thou shalt give the congregation and their beasts drink.

9 And Moses took the rod from before the LORD, as he commanded him.

10 And Moses and Aaron gathered the congregation together before the rock, and he said unto them, Hear now, ye rebels; must we fetch you water out of this rock?

11 And Moses lifted up his hand, and with his rod he smote the rock twice: and the water came out abundantly, and the congregation drank, and their beasts also.

12 And the LORD spoke unto Moses and Aaron, Because ye believed me not, to sanctify me in the eyes of the children of Israel, therefore ye shall not bring this congregation into the land which I have given them.

Nadab and Abihu offered strange fire before the LORD

♪♥O HOLY BIBLE ♪♥

Lev 10:1 And Nadab and Abihu*, the sons of Aaron*, took either of them his censer, and put fire therein, and put incense thereon, and offered strange fire before the LORD, which he commanded them not.

Lev 10:2 And there went out fire from the LORD, and devoured them, and they died before the LORD.

Lev 10:3 Then Moses said unto Aaron, This is it that the LORD spoke, saying, I will be sanctified in them that come nigh me, and before all the people I will be glorified. And Aaron held his peace.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Lev_10:6, Aaron and his sons are forbidden to mourn for them

Live Your BEST Life -YOU ARE NOT YOUR OWN PROPERTY.

♪♥HOW BLEST ARE THEY WHO HEAR GOD’S WORD ♪♥

1Co 6:19 What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?

1Co 6:20 For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.

Dearest Family and Friends,

Knowing we are here on a MISSION (to continue on in JESUS's footsteps)

to seek and to save the lost:

You must have considered many times, How Well Are You Living Out This Life Entrusted to You by Our Heavenly FATHER...THE LORD GOD ALMIGHTY.

I have...do...almost unceasingly.

If you check out my profile you will find one of my GREAT GOALS in life is INVESTING IN ETERNITY.

As I have sought GOD diligently for wisdom and excellence in this area, HE has brought me to see and be inspired by many many wonderful GODLY people.

HIS beloved Children and servants all... Our Brethren in The LORD who are living MAXIMIZED LIVES or who have gone before and history bares record of the LIVES they LIVED to the MAXIMUM for The LORD JESUS CHRIST and HIS GLORIOUS GOSPEL.

~as you read of these amazing brothers and sisters in CHRIST....PLEASE remember they each started out ministering for GOD, themselves & GOD ALONE. - except David...He had his wife and children with him. The others were married later and their spouces entered with them into the work.

Just last week I learned of Jackie Pullinger*'s work which started in Hong Kong. Hundreds of thousands of lives impacted as GOD reclaims heroin and opium addicts, prostitutes., gang members and maffia men and transforms them to HIS HOLY CHILREN.

David Hogan*'s Freedom Ministries began in Mexico. Hundreds of thousands have witnessed New Testament Christianity opperating in all HIS Glory right before their eyes as thousands are saved, delivered and healed and HUNDREDS have been raised from the dead.

Reinhard Bonnke* of Christ for All Nations--- I marvel to no end at how very few CHRISTIANS in this country tell me they don't know who this man is! And yet in heaven, there are MILLIONS THAT'S RIGHT MILLIONS of names written in the LAMBS BOOK OF LIFE as a result of Reinhard Bonnke's obeying the LORD JESUS CHRIST to

Mat 28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:

Mat 28:20 Teaching 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.

!.... (Matthew 28:19-10)

Great Gospel Campaigns

An amazing 34 Great Gospel Crusades have been held since the year 2000 alone! Through these outreaches the ministry of Reinhard Bonnke reached more than 48 million people. Out of this number more than 31.9 million people made a decision for Jesus Christ and filled in a decision card for follow-up by the local churches. <--click

Benny Hinn* - GOD's own HOLY SPIRIT attests to Benny's walk with GOD, and in Benny's preaching the Gospel of CHRIST as GOD Wills by signs and wonders following. In 1995 a friend from our Bible study was healed of cancer when Benny Hinn personally prayed for her after a service inBaltimore, MD. In that same service I SAW AN 8 YEAR OLD GIRL MIRACULOUSLY HEALED OF CRIPPLING ARTHRITIS! Benny goes worldwide with the message of the gospel of JESUS CHRIST showing the lost THE WAY OF SALVATION from hell and THE SAVIOUR WHO wills to take them to Heaven.

Heidi and Roland Baker* of Iris Ministries - REVIVAL! Sent to the poorest of the poor, GOD has proved that HE can and will ALWAYS provide for HIS CHILDREN .... The people of Mozambique are hearing, seeing, and partaking of THE GREAT SAVIOUR'S LOVE. Hundreds of thousands saved, thousands healed, hundreds of new churches - GOD IS GOOD!

Dr. Paul Yongghi Cho* - a poor sick & dying buddist man...cried out to GOD from his would-be 'death bed' that if there is a REAL GOD please make HIMSELF known to him before he died. (Thank GOD for those of us who knock on doors of the unsaved!) A young Christian girl knocked on his door and told him of The LORD GOD ALMIGHTY Creator of Heaven and earth & HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON JESUS CHRIST...who not only loves us, but died HIMSELF to save us from our sins and heal us of all our diseases.  Pastor Cho gratefully accepted JESUS as his Saviour and went on to become a pastor himself...to lead others to THE MIGHTY GOD who loves and saves and heals. His church has over a MILLION members ...and was for a very long time the LARGEST CHURCH in the world. 

R.W. Schambach* - Miracles,  Miracles,  Miracles!  AND I KNOW 1ST HAND. When Pastor Schambach came to VA Beach I was in the healing line. As he prayed the prayer of faith, GOD healed my wisdom teeth that had been swelling up and bothering me so horridly. Pastor Schambach has done great and mighty exploits as the BIBLE says "those that know their GOD will" do.

I LOVE OUR GOD!

what is JESUS going to say to you when you stand before HIM?

Will HE say, "Well done, thou good and faithful servant! You have been faithful in that which is least, now you will be ruler over much...enter you into the joy of Your LORD"...

OR will HE say:

   "Depart from me, you who lived to sin."

Why would we waste the PRECIOUS LITTLE TIME we have here on earth to do earthly JUNK...WHEN WE CAN DO AWESOMEEXPLOITS FOR ETERNITY WITH GOD - spreading HIS LOVE, HIS Good News of JESUS CHRIST and

SAVING OTHERS FROM AN ETERNITY OF UNSPEAKABLE HORRORS - & - AGONIES TORTURED IN FLAMES FOREVER IN THE FIRES OF hell AND THE LAKE OF FIRE!

LET'S DO IT! LET'S LIVE EVERY MOMENT OF OUR LIVES FOR GOD & HIS GLORY!

Behold now, thou art barren, and bearest not: but thou shalt conceive, and bear a son.

♪♥MY MOTHER’S PRAYER ♪♥

 

Jdg 13:3 And the angel of the LORD appeared unto the woman, and said unto her, Behold now, thou art barren, and bearest not: but thou shalt conceive, and bear a son.

Jdg 13:4 Now therefore beware, I pray thee, and drink not wine nor strong drink, and eat not any unclean thing:

Jdg 13:5 For, lo, thou shalt conceive, and bear a son; and no razor shall come on his head: for the child shall be a Nazarite unto God from the womb:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

MANY women of GOD are barren for a long time... because the son they are to bear will be HOLY Unto GOD and GOD has a special work for their son.

Consider:  Abraham & Sarah = Isaac, 

              Hannah= Samuel, 

              Zacharias & Elizabeth = John the Baptist, 

              Manoah & his wife = Samson,

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

If you are barren (have not yet had a child) know that the firstborn belongs to GOD.

Exo 13:1 And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying,

Exo 13:2 Sanctify unto me all the firstborn, whatsoever openeth the womb among the children of Israel, both of man andof beast: it is mine.

Luk 2:23 (As it is written in the law of the Lord, Every male that openeth the womb shall be called holy to the Lord;)

 Are you preparing to teach your children the WAY of the LORD? Think of Hannah, who promised GOD that if HE would grant her a child, she would give him back to GOD to work for GOD. GOD blessed her with Samuel, who indeed became one of GOD's greatest prophets. AND

1Sa 2:21 And the LORD visited Hannah, so that she conceived, and bore three sons and two daughters. And the child Samuel grew before the LORD.

If you have been praying for a child, I do believe GOD has heard your prayers.

Be encouraged today. A book that will be a great help & blessing to you, is Supernatural Childbirth by Jackie Mize (it is also available on tape).

Then Peter and the other apostles answered and said, We ought to obey God rather than man.

♪♥ WHO IS THY NEIGHBOR ♪♥

Mat 25:31 When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:

32 And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:

33 And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.

34 Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:

35 For I was hungry, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in:

36 Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me.

37 Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee hungry, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink?

38 When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee?

39 Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee?

40 And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.

41 Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:

42 For I was hungry, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink:

43 I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not.

44 Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee hungry, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee?

45 Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me.

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

How much illegal workers pay to Social Security: over$6B

One of the many ironies in the country’s upheavals over the illegal immigrant issue is that, right now, Social Security is collecting over $6 billion a year in payroll deductions from these workers. This is the size of the annual take – the estimate for 2002 is $6.4 billion – flowing into a suspense account because the social security number used for the deduction was not recognized on the government’s database. None of this money today can or is claimed by the workers making the contributions.

The total recorded payroll associated with this inflow is over $200 billion and growing by about $50 billion, suggesting that more and more illegal immigrants are participating in formal wage income as opposed to cash compensation.

The total take adds up to about 1.5% of American payrolls. Assume that these workers are being paid on average one third of legal Americans. This suggests that 4.5% of the contributors to social security today are illegal workers.
