DON’T STOP SHORT OF OF THE PROMISE

| Roy

NUMBERS 13: 30-33  AND CALEB STILLED THE PEOPLE BEFORE MOSES, AND SAID LET US GO UP AT ONCE, AND POSSESS IT; FOR WE ARE ABLE TO OVERCOME IT.

BUT THE MEN THAT WENT UP WITH HIM SAID, WE BE NOT ABLE TO GO UP AGAINEST THE PEOPLE; FOR THEY ARE STRONGER THAN WE.

AND THEY BROUGHT UP AND EVIL REPORT OF THE LAND WHICH THEY HAD SEARCHED UNTO THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL, SAYING, THE LAND, THROUGH WHICH WE HAVE GONE TO SEARCH IT, IS LAND THAT EATETH UP THE INHABITANTS THEROF; AND ALL THE PEOPLE THAT WE SAW IN IT  ARE MEN OF GREAT STATURE.

AND THERE WE SAW THE GAINTS, THE SONS OF ANAK, WHICH COME OF THE GAINTS; AND WE WERE IN OUR OWN SIGHT AS GRASSHOPPERS, AND SO WE WERE IN THEIR SIGHT.

THE  HARDEST MILE TO RUN IN A MARATHON RACE IS THE LAST MILE.

HERE WE SEE THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL, WHO SAW THE JUDGEMENT OF GOD COME ON PHARAOH. THEY SAW THE POWER OF GOD MANIFEST IN SIGNS AND WONDERS.

THEY SAW JEHOVAH GOD, PART THE RED SEA AND BRING THEM ACROSS ON DRY GROUND.

BUT AT THE ENTRANCE INTO THE PROMISED LAND THEY STOPPED SHORT.

THEY WERE AT THE DOOR AND GAVE UP.

FEAR AND UNBELIEF CAUSED THEM TO SEE THEMSELVES UNABLE TO ENTER INTO THE PROMISE.

JESUS NEVER PROMISED IT WOULD BE EASY TO OBEY HIM.

HE NEVER PROMISED THAT WE  WOULD NOT FACE GAINTS IN THE LAND.

THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL DID TO MUCH THINKING AND TALKING ABOUT WHAT THEY SAW, INSTEAD OF WHAT GOD SAID.

GOD NEVER USED THE WORD FAILURE, FEAR, UNBELIEF. GOD HAD THE GRACE AVAILABLE, HE HAD ANGELS THERE TO HELP.

SAMSON KILLED ONE THOUSAND PHILISTINES WITH A JAWBONE OF A DONKEY.

GIDEON CONQUERED THE ENEMY WITH A SMALL ARMY.

HOW DID THESE THINGS HAPPEN? IF GOD BE FOR YOU WHO CAN BE AGAINEST YOU.

I HAVE RUN MANY RACES FOLLOWING GOD’S WILL AND PURPOSE, THE LAST MILE HAS ALWAYS BEEN THE PLACE THE DEVIL TRIED TO GET ME TO GIVE UP. JUST BEFORE THE FINISH OF SOMETHING THE DEVIL WILL THROW THE BIGGEST DEVILS AT YOU.

HE WILL TRY FEAR, DISCOURAGEMENT, DISAPPOINTMENTS, REJECTION FROM PEOPLE, CRITICISM. YOUR VISION WILL BE QUESTIONED BY OTHERS. YOUR MOTIVATES WILL BE QUESTIONED, AND IF THE DEVIL GETS REAL MAD, YOUR CHARACTER WILL EVEN BE QUESTIONED.

KEEP YOUR EYES ON JESUS AND THE MISSION YOU ARE ON, DON’T TRY TO JUSTIFY YOUR CALL FROM GOD.

THE HOLY SPIRIT AND THE PROMISES FROM GOD, TO TAKE YOU TO VICTORY WILL KEEP YOUR VISION ALIVE AND YOU WILL NOT GIVE UP RUNNING THE LAST MILE.

REMEMBER THE LAST MILE IS WHERE MOST PEOPLE GIVE UP. DON’T LOOK BACK, DON’T LOOK AT THE SPECTATORS.

DON’T LISTEN TO THE VOICE OF THE  QUITTERS, THEY QUIT AT THE LAST MILE AND THEY DON’T WANT YOU TO FINISH AND ENTER INTO THE PROMISES.

HABAKKUK 2;3  FOR THE VISION IS FOR AND APPOINTED TIME, BUT AT THE END IT SHALL SPEAK, AND NOT LIE; THOUGH IT TARRY, WAIT FOR IT; BECAUSE IT WILL SURELY COME, IT WILL NOT TARRY.

IT HAS SURLY COME, WE ARE THE GENERATION OF HARVEST, HOLINESS, AND SIGNS AND WONDERS.

SAINTS AROUND THE WORLD ARE UNDER ATTACK, THE ENEMY IS TRYING TO STOP US AT THE LAST MILE OF THE RACE.

I REFUSE TO GIVE UP, THROUGH THE STRENGHT OF THE HOLY SPIRIT AND THE WORD OF GOD.

GRACE SHALL CARRY ME TO THE FINISH LINE.

THE SLEEPING PRIEST

| Roy

1 SAMUEL  3:1-14   AND THE CHILD SAMUEL MINISTERED UNTO  THE LORD BEFORE ELI. AND THE WORD OF THE LORD WAS PRECIOUS IN THOSE DAYS: THERE WAS NO OPEN VISION.

AND IT CAME TO PASS AT THAT TIME, WHEN ELI WAS LAID DOWN IN HIS PLACE, AND HIS EYES BEGAN TO WAX DIM, THAT HE COULD NOT SEE.

AND ERE THE LAMP OF GOD WENT OUT IN THE TEMPLE OF THE LORD, WHERE THE ARK OF GOD WAS, AND SAMUEL WAS LAID DOWN TO SLEEP.

AND THE LORD CALLED SAMUEL: AND HE ANSWERED, HERE I AM.

AND HE RAN UNTO ELI, AND SAID, HERE AM I; FOR THOU CALLEST ME, AND HE SAID, I CALLED NOT: LIE DOWN AGAIN, AND HE WENT AND LAY DOWN.

AND THE LORD CALLED YET AGAIN, SAMUEL AND SAMUEL AROSE  AND WENT TO ELI, AND SAID, HERE AM I; FOR THOU DIDST CALL ME. AND HE ANSWERED, I CALLED NOT, MY SON; LIE DOWN AGAIN.

NOW SAMUEL DID NOT YET KNOW THE LORD, NEITHER WAS THE WORD OF THE LORD YET REVEALED UNTO HIM.

AND THE LORD CALLED SAMUEL  AGAIN THE THIRD TIME, AND HE AROSE AND WENT TO ELI, AND SAID HERE AM I, FOR THOU DIDST CALL ME, AND ELI PERCEIVED THAT THE LORD HAD CALLED THE CHILD.

THEREFORE ELI SAID UNTO SAMUEL, GO, LIE DOWN: AND IT SHALL BE, IF HE CALL THEE, THAT THOU SHALT SAY, SPEAK, LORD; FOR THY SERVANT HEARETH, SO SAMUEL WENT AND LAY DOWN IN HIS PLACE.

AND THE LORD CAME, AND STOOD, AND CALLED AS AT OTHER TIMES, SAMUEL, SAMUEL, THEN SAMUEL ANSWERED, SPEAK; FOR THY SERVANT HEARETH.

AND THE LORD SAID TO SAMUEL, BEHOLD, I WILL DO A THING IN ISRAEL, AT WHICH BOTH THE EARS OF EVERY ONE THAT HEARETH IT SHALL TINGLE.

IN THAT DAY I WILL PERFORM AGAINEST ELI ALL THINGS WHICH I HAVE SPOKEN CONCERNING HIS HOUSE: WHEN I BEGIN, I WILL ALSO, MAKE AND END.

FOR I HAVE TOLD HIM THAT I WILL JUDGE HIS HOUSE FOR EVER FOR THE INQUITY WHICH HE KNOWETH; BECAUSE HIS SONS MADE THEMSELVES VILE, AND HE RESTRAINED THEM NOT.

AND THEREFORE I HAVE SWORN UNTO THE HOUSE OF ELI, THAT THE INQUITY OF ELI’S HOUSE SHALL NOT BE PURGED WITH SACRIFICE NOR OFFERING FOR EVER.

THIS LOOK’S LIKE THE CHURCH IN AMERICA, THERE IS ANOTHER GOSPEL BEING PREACHED IN AMERICA. IT IS A SOFT GOSPEL OF NO REPENTANCE.

JOHN THE BAPTIST PREACHED REPENT FOR THE KINGDOM OF GOD IS AT HAND.

JESUS PREACHED REPENT FOR THE KINGDOM OF GOD IS PRESENT.

JESUS PREACHED TO MOST OF THE CHURCHS IN THE BOOK OF REVELATION REPENT.

JESUS SAID HEAR WHAT THE SPIRIT SAITH UNTO THE CHURCHS.

TODAY MANY LISTEN TO THE VOICE OF THE FLESH, AND THE FALSE PROPHETS SAY OF THE CHURCH TODAY, I AM RICH AND INCREASED WHIT GOODS AND ARE IN NEED OF NOTHING.

AMERICA NEEDS A REVIVAL OF REPENTANCE, WE LOOK FOR PREACHERS WITHOUT THE ANOINTING OF THE HOLY SPIRIT, WHO KNOWS HOW TO PLAY GOLF AND TALK SPORTS.

THE WORD OF THE LIVING GOD ANOINTED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT IS RARE TODAY EVEN ON TELEVISION.

WE ENJOY MOTIVATIONAL SPEAKERS TO STIRR OUR FLESH.

IN ELI’S DAY THE WORD OF GOD WAS RARE, VISIONS WERE INFREQUENT.

ELI WAS IN HIS PLACE, BUT HE WAS LYING DOWN.

HIS SPIRITUAL EYES HAD GROWN DIM.

ELI HAD LAID DOWN THE WORD, HIS EYES WERE DIM, WHEN GOD TRIED TO SPEAK, HE SPOKE TO SAMUEL NOT ELI.

ELI HAD TRAINED SAMUEL RELIGIOUS CERMONY BUT NOT HOW TO HEAR GOD.

THATS WHAT PREACHERS WHO COME OUT OF UNIVERSITYS, AND DONT KNOW HOW TO HEAR THE VOICE OF GOD, THEY DONT KNOW HOW TO TRAIN OTHERS HOW TO HEAR THE VOICE OF GOD.

WHEN YOU LAY DOWN THAT WHICH IS PRECIOUS, YOUR SPIRITUAL SIGHT GROWS DIM. YOUR VISION IS BLURRED, THEY BECOME FLESH PEOPLE WITH RELIGIOUS MIND SET.

THE LAMP GOES OUT, THERE IS NO ANOINTING, JESUS REDEEMS US, WITH THIS COMES RESPONABILITY TO KEEP THE LAMP BURNING. THE LAMP IS NOT SUPPOSE TO GO OUT. WE ARE TO KEEP OIL IN OUR LAMP.

ELI WAS SUPPOSE TO HAVE VISION AND REVELATION, BUT HE WAS DISOBEDIENT, AND SPIRITUALLY LAZY. HE WAS CONCERNED ABOUT RELIGIOUS ACTIVITY NOT RELATIONSHIP OR OBEDIENCE.

THINGS OF GOD HAD BECOME COMMON TO ELI.

DAVID ALSO GOT TO THIS PLACE. HE TRIED TO MOVE THE ARK WITH A PRAISE AND WORSHIP TEAM, MUSIC AND SHOUTING. DAVID DIDNT SEEK GOD’S WAY BUT MOVED THE ARK ON A NEW CART. DEATH CAME TO HIS EFFORT, CONFUSION AND FEAR, STOPPED DAVID.

THEN DAVID SOUGHT THE LORD, DAVID HAD TO GO TO THE WORD TO GET IT RIGHT.

NUMBERS AND NOISE DOESNT MEAN GOD APPROVES OF WHAT PEOPLE ARE DOING.

I LIKE NUMBERS AND I LIKE NOISE, BUT I WANT A PASSION FOR THE ONE I AM PRAISING, I MUST LEARN HIS WAYS , DEVELOPE HIS NATURE AND CHARACTER IN ME, FIND HIS PURPOSE FOR MY LIFE AND OBEY HIM IN HOLY LIVING.

ELI’S FIRE HAD GONE OUT, NO ATTENTION TO THE NEED OF OIL.

NO MORE SPEAKING FOR GOD, BECAUSE THERE WAS NO SPEAKING TO GOD.

ELI DIDNT EVEN UNDERSTAND THE ANOINTING ON HANNAH, HE THOUGHT SHE WAS DRUNK.

SAMUEL DON’T KNOW GOD, AND GOD TRIES TO SPEAK TO HIM, ITS LIKE THE BLIND LEADING THE BLIND.

YOU CAN’T GIVE TO OTHERS WHAT YOU DON’T POSSESS. GOD SPOKE TO SAMUEL THREE TIMES.

FINALLY ELI REALIZED IT WAS GOD SPEAKING TO SAMUEL.

GOD TOLD SAMUEL I’M GOING TO DO A NEW THING IN ISRAEL.

WHEN GOD DOES A NEW THING HE JUDGES THE OLD.

GOD JUDGED EGYPT BEFORE HE MOVED ISRAEL TOWARD THE PROMISED LAND.

GOD JUDGED SAUL WHEN HE RAISED UP DAVID.

GOD JUDGED THE PHARISEES WHEN HE RAISED UP JESUS.

SOMETIMES WE WANT SOMETHING NEW FROM THE LORD, BUT WE HAVEN’T BEEN FAITHFUL IN OUR PRESENT ASSIGNMENT.

THE CHURCH WANTS A NEW MOVE OF GOD, BUT THEY HAVEN’T BEEN FAITHFUL IN THEIR PRESENT ASSIGNMENT. WE ARE SUPPOSE TO MAKE DISCIPLES OF CHRIST, BUT WE HAVE TRIED TO MAKE DISCIPLES OF OUR SUPER STAR PREACHERS. THEREFORE PEOPLE HAVE THE CHARACTER OF THEIR PREACHERS, INSTEAD OF THE CHARACTER OF CHRIST OUR KING.

I AM NOT A PROPHET, BUT WHEN GOD BEGANS TO TELL OTHER PEOPLE ABOUT OUR SINS LIKE HE DID ELI, JUDGEMENT IS ABOUT TO COME.

IT GOT TO THE PLACE WITH ELI HE WAS NOT LISTENING, GOD RAISED UP A SAMUEL. GOD TOLD SAMUEL WHAT HE HAD SPOKEN TO ELI ABOUT AND HOW HE WAS GOING TO JUDGE HIM AND HIS HOUSE.

HE TOLD SAMUEL ABOUT ELI’S SINS, HIS REBELLION AND THE JUDGEMENT COMING.

THE AXE IS ABOUT TO FALL ON AMERICA, AND IT IS BECAUSE WE AS CHRISTIANS HAVE GONE TO SLEEP CONCERNING RIGHTEOUSNESS AND RELATIONSHIP WITH JESUS.

ITS NOT THE JUDGES FAULT NOR THE POLITICIAN, ALLTHOUGH  GOD WILL JUDGE THEM FOR THEIR DECISIONS, ITS OUR FAULT FOR LACK OF PRAYER AND POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT, TO STOP SATAN.

REVIVAL IS AMERICA’S ONLY HOPE.

RELIGIOUS ACTIVITY HAS TAKE OVER MAINLINE  DENOMINATIONS. SIN RULES IN THEIR LEADERSHIP.  LEADERS WHO DONT’ KNOW CHRIST AS THEIR SAVIOUR. THEY RULE THROUGH SATANIC AUTHORITY AND DENY THE AUTHORITY OF THE WORD OF GOD.

THEY CALL GOOD EVIL AND EVIL GOOD, THEY DO SOCIAL WORK BUT NO WORK OF THE CROSS.

I THANK THE LORD FOR THE REVIVAL GOING ON IN MOBILE ,ALABAMA. I HOPE THIS REVIVAL SPREADS AROUND THE WORLD.

2CHRONICLES 7:14 IF MY PEOPLE WHICH IS CALLED BY MY NAME, SHALL HUMBLE THEMSELVES, AND PRAY, AND SEEK MY FACE, AND TURN FROM THEIR WICKED WAYS; THEN WILL I HEAR FROM HEAVEN, AND WILL FORGIVE THEIR SIN, AND WILL HEAL THEIR LAND.

HOW AMERICA NEEDS A HEALING IN OUR LAND. AFTER 9-11 OUR LEADERS PRAYED ON THE CAPITOL STEPS AND YET WE CAN’T PRAY IN OUR SCHOOLS IN JESUS NAME. THEY SANG GOD BLESS AMERICA. GOD HAS ALREADY BLESSED AMERICA, AMERICA NEEDS TO BLESS GOD WHIT REPENTANCE.

I THOUGHT AFTER 9-11 WE WOULD HAVE REVIVAL, BUT THE CHURCHS FILLED UP FOR ABOUT THIRTY DAYS AND THEN IT WAS BACK TO NORMAL. I THOUGHT IF THERE IS A RECESSION, PEOPLE WILL COME BACK TO GOD. BUT THAT DIDN’T WORK EITHER.

AMERICA WHAT WILL IT TAKE?

WHAT IS YOUR FUTURE? PART II

| Jeanette

WE GO ON MISSIONARY TRIPS TWICE A YEAR TO DIFFERENT COUNTRIES; MOSTLY TO THE DOMINICAN REPUBLIC.

ON ONE OF THESE TRIPS WE BECAME BURDENED ABOUT AN ORPHANAGE IN SAN JUAN DELA MAGUANA. THERE WAS NO WATER THERE BUT A POLUTED RIVER A FEW MILES UP THE ROAD FROM THE ORPHANAGE. MOST OF THE TIME, THEY HAD TO CARRY CONTAINERS, ON THE BACK OF A SMALL TRUCK, TO THE TOWN OF SAN JUAN TO GET WATER. BY THE TIME THEY GOT BACK, MUCH OF THE WATER WAS SPILLED BECAUSE OF THE BUMPY ROADS AND HOLES IN THE ROAD.

WE BEGAN TO PRAY FOR GOOD WATER FOR THESE CHILDREN.

YOU SEE, THEY LIVE IN THE DESERT AREA.

ONE DAY AS I WAS PRAYING WITH A FRIEND AT MY HOME, GOD GAVE ME A VERSE OF SCRIPTURE. I CRIED AS I READ. I KNEW, THAT I KNEW IT WAS GOD SPEAKING TO ME.

ISAIAH 41:17,18 –  WHEN THE POOR AND NEEDY SEEK WATER, AND THERE IS NONE, AND THEIR TONGUE FAILETH FOR THIRST, I THE LORD WILL HEAR THEM, I THE GOD OF ISRAEL WILL NOT FORSAKE THEM.

      I WILL OPEN RIVERS IN HIGH PLACES, AND FOUNTAINS IN THE MIDST OF THE VALLEYS: I WILL MAKE THE WILDERNESS A POOL OF WATER, AND THE DRY LAND SPRINGS OF WATER.

I SHARED THIS WITH MY HUSBAND, AND HE AGREED, THIS WAS FROM GOD. WE KNEW WE HAD TO DRILL A WELL FOR THESE ORPHANS.

LATER, A COUPLE OF GODLY MEN WE KNEW WELL, SAID, “ROY, IT’S TIME WE RAISED MONEY FOR THAT WELL.”

WE, ALONG WITH MANY OF OUR FRIENDS, RAISED $10,000.00, AND SHORTLY AFTER, MADE OUR PLANE RESERVATIONS TO GO.

THERE WAS ONE AMERICAN DRILLER ON THE ISLAND WHO AGREED TO STOP WHAT HE WAS DOING IN THE CAPITOL AND GO TO SAN JUAN. GOD IS A GOD OF HUMOR, BECAUSE HE SENT WITH THE DRILLER A GEOLOGIST FROM PURDUE UNIVERSITY, WHO WAS VISITING ON THE ISLAND.

BEFORE WE LEFT HOME, THE LORD SPOKE TO MY HUSBAND AND SAID, “DON’T SPEAK ANYTHING NEGATIVE ABOUT THAT WELL, SPEAK POSITIVE.”

MY HUSBAND EXPLAINED THIS TO THHE WHOLE GROUP GOING WITH US, AND ALL AGREED.

YOU SHOULD HAVE SEEN THE CHILDREN, WHEN THOSE BIG TRUCKS DROVE UP ON THE GROUNDS. THEY WERE SO EXCITED, WE HAD TO DRAW AN IMAGINARY LINE FOR THEM NOT TO CROSS FOR THEIR OWN SAFETY. 

THE GEOLOGIST TOLD MY HUSBAND, “YOU WON’T FIND ANY WATER HERE, THE SOIL IS NOT RIGHT.”

ROY TOLD THEM TO DRILL ANY WAY, WE’VE HEARD FROM GOD. YOU WILL FIND WATER.

WE HAD HIRED THREE MEN IN TOWN WHO JUST HAPPENED TO BE WALKING DOWN THE STREET WITH PICKS IN THEIR HANDS. BELIEVE ME, I WAS SAVED AT AN EARLY AGE, AND I KNOW THERE ARE NO COINCIDENCES IN THE LIVES OF A CHRISTIAN, ESPECIALLY THOSE ON A MISSION.

THE DIGGERS BEGAN TO DIG A LONG DITCH THAT WOULD LEAD FROM THE ORPHANAGE TO WHERE THEY WERE DRILLING.

THE WELL DRILLER TOLD MY HUSBAND, “YOU’LL HAVE A NICE DITCH, BUT YOU WON’T FIND ANY WATER.”

THEY DRILLED 277 FEET AND THE DRILLER TOLD OUR GROUP TO GIVE IT UP. IT WAS COSTING $25.00 A FOOT TO DRILL AND THEY HAD ALREADY GONE DOWN FARTHER THAN THEY SHOULD AND RAN OUT OF DRILL ROD.

MY HUSBAND KNEW WHAT GOD HAD SAID, SO HE ASK THE MAN IF HE HAD ANY MORE DRILL ROD ON THE ISLAND. HE SAID, “IN PUERTA PLATA.”

ROY SAID, “GO GET IT.”

WHEN THEY CAME BACK WITH THE ROD, OUR TRIP SCHEDULE WAS COMING CLOSE TO THE END, AND WE WERE ALL KEEPING OUR MOUTH’S SHUT TO KEEP FROM SAYING ANYTHING NEGATIVE.

MY STOMACH WAS HURTING AND I THINK MY HUSBAND WAS CLOSE TO GETTING SICK. YOU SEE, IF WE DIDN’T GET WATER, WE WERE GOING TO HAVE TO GO HOME AND FACE THE PEOPLE WHO WORKED SO HARD TO RAISE THE MONEY, THOSE WHO GAVE, AND NOT TO MENTION THEM, OVER SIXTY LITTLE BOY ORPHANS.

BEFORE THEY BEGAN TO DRILL AGAIN, THEY SAID THEY WOULD HAVE TO CLEAN OUT THE HOLE.

I KNOW NOTHING ABOUT DRILLING A WELL, SO IASKED THE DRILLER IF THE WATER WOULD SPEW-UO LIKE A FOUNTAIN, LIKE THOSE OIL WELLS IN THE MOVIES.

HE SAID, “NO. THAT’S ONLY IN THE MOVIES.” I GOT OUT OF THE WAY.

 MANY OF THE SURROUNDING VILLAGERS HEARD WHAT WAS GOING ON, AND YOU KNOW HOW NEWS TRAVELS, SO THEY WERE GATHERED AROUND TO WATCH.

WHEN THEY PUT THE THING IN WITH A LIGHT ON IT, THEY FOUND THE HOLE HAD CAVED IN. THEY WENT DOWN TO CLEAN IT OUT, AND AT ABOUT 37 FEET, THE WATER BEGAN TO SPEW OUT, JUST LIKE IN THE MOVIES!!

I WAS SO EXCITED!!

EVERYONE WAS CHEERING AND PRAISING GOD.

AND THE DRILLER AND THE GEOLOGIST, WHO WAS EXAMINING SOIL EVERY SO MANY FEET AND SHOWING US IT WAS IMPOSSIBLE FOR WATER TO BE FOUND THERE, WERE SO AMAZED.

THE WORD GOT AROUND THE SAN JUAN AREA, THAT A GROUP OF EVANGELICALS HAD FOUND WATER IN THE DESERT.

BUT WE KNOW WHO HOLDS THE FUTURE, WE KNOW ONLY GOD KNOWS; AND HE PERFORMS MIRACLES.

THIS IS REAL.

EVERY OTHER POWER BUT GOD’S, IS FALSE, AND WILL LEAD YOU INTO A PLACE WHERE THERE IS NO PEACE, AND NOTHING BUT BONDAGE , AND A FUTURE YOU WILL WISH YOU HAD NEVER EXPERIENCED.

WHAT IS YOUR FUTURE?

| Jeanette

THIS IS THE QUESTION OF THE AGES.

FUTURE IS DEFINED AS “THAT WHICH IS BEYOUND THE PRESENT.”

MANY SPEND MILLIONS TO FIND OUT THEIR FUTURE.

PHYSIC HOT-LINES AND FORTUNE TELLERS ARE PAID THOUSANDS UPON THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS EACH YEAR.

ARE YOU SEEKING TO KNOW YOUR FUTURE?

WELL, BELIEVE ME, I KNOW WHO HOLDS THE FUTURE.

A FAMOUS PRESIDENT’S WIFE CONSULTED A PHYSIC FOR HER HUSBAND WHILE MHE WAS STILL IN THE WHITE HOUSE. IT WAS SAID, AFTER HE WAS SHOT, SHE SOUGHT THE HELP OF A PHYSIC BEFORE ACCEPTING ANY OUTSIDE APPEARANCES.

THEY SCRIPTURES ARE COMPLETELY AGAINST ANY USE OF PHYSIC POWERS.

I TALKED TO A PALM READER ONE DAY AND SHE WAS SO DECEIVD: SHE TOLD ME HER POWERS CAME FROM GOD, AND SHE WANTED TO HELP PEOPLE. I WAS NOT ABLE TO GET HER TO UNDERSTAND, GOD WOULD NEVER GIVE POWERS TO ANYONE THAT WOULD GO AGAINST HIS PRECIOUS WORD. I HOPE I LEFT HER WITH QUESTIONS OF MIND THATWOULD CAUSE HER TO SEEK OUT THE TRUTH.

THE BIBLE CALLS THEM SORCERERS, WHICH IS DEFINED AS SUPPOSED POSESSORS OF SUPERNATURAL POWERS.

THEY USED WHAT THE BIBLE CALLS, DIVINATION, WHICH IS DEFINED AS AN ATTEMPT TO FORETELL YTHE FUTURE BY OCCULT (OR SECRET) MEANS.

DIVINATION IS AN ABOMINATION (EVIL PRACTICE) TO GOD. LOOK AT DEUTERONOMY 18:9-14 – WHEN THOU ART COME INTO THE LAND WHICH THE LORD THY GOD GIVETH THEE, THOU SHALT NOT LEARN  TO DO AFTER THE ABOMINATIONS OF THESE NATIONS.

THERE SHALT NOT BE FOUND AMONG YOU ANYONE THAT MAKETH HIS SON OR DAUGHTER PASS THROUGH THE FIRE, OR THAT USETH DIVINATION (OR FORTUNE TELLING OR CHANNELING [INTERPRETATION OF OMENS]), OR AN OBSERVER OF TIMES, (WHICH INCLUDES HOROSCOPES AND ALSO, I BELIEVE, ALMANACS), OR AND ENCHANTER (MAGICIAN, WIZARD, WITCH), OR A WITCH (SORCERESS OR ENCHANTRESS),

OR  A CHARMER (CONJURER OF SHAMAN [MEDICINE MAN, OR WITCHDOCTOR]) OR A CONSULTER OF FAMILIAR SPIRITS (THESE ARE GENERATIONAL DEMONS, THAT FOLLOW A FAMILY FROM GENERATION  TO GENERATION, AND CAN GIVE INFORMATION TO THE ONE PRACTICING SUCH POWERS, SO THAT THY CAN FOOL THE ONE WHO IS DESIRING TO HEAR FROM THEIR DECEASED LOVED ONE. TO ME, THIS IS THE SICKEST OF ALL DECEPTIONS ON THIS LINE., BECAUSE THE PEOPLE SEEKING TO HEAR FROM THEIR LOVED ONES ARE EXPERIENCING GRIEF AND LOSS, ALREADY,  AND ARE SO VENERABLE TO THESE DECEPTIONS.), OR A WIZARD (A DEVINER, CHARMER, AND THE LIST GOES ON), OR A NECROMANCER (ONE WHO INQUIRES OF THE DEAD).

FOR ALL THAT DO THESE THINGS ARE AN ABOMONATION UNTO THE LORD: AND BECAUSE OF THESE ABOMINATIONS THE LORD THY GOD DOTH DRIVE THEM OUT FROM BEFORE THEE.

THOU SHALT BE PERFECT (ENTIRELY OBEDIENT, UPRIGHT, SINCERE)  WITH THE LORD, THY GOD.

THIS ALSO INCLUDES ALL SECRET ORDERS, WHICH ARE OCCULTS.

I WANT YOU TO KNOW, WE CAN PUT OUR FUTURE IN THE HANDS OF OUR HEAVENLY FATHER, WHO KNOWS OUR PAST, PRESENT, AND FUTURE. HE WIPES AWAY ALL OUR PAST WHEN WE COME TO HIM, AND  WILL REVEAL TO US HIS FUTURE PLANS FOR US THAT ALWAYS COME TO PASS.

ONLY GOD KNOWS THE FUTURE:  ISAIAH 41:21-24 – PRODUCE YOUR CAUSE, SAITH THE LORD (OR SET FORTH YOUR PLANS); BRING FORTH YOUR STRONG REASONS, SAITH THE KING OF JACOB. 

LET THEM BRING THEM FORTH, AND SHOW US WHAT SHALL HAPPEN: LET THEM SHOW THE FORMER THINGS WHAT THEY BE, THAT WE MAY CONSIDER THEM AND KNOW THE LATTER (PRESENT) END OF THEM; OR DECLARE US THINGS FOR TO COME.

SHOW US THE THINGS THAT ARE TO COME HEREAFTER, THAT WE MAY KNOW THAT YE ARE gods: YEA, DO GOOD, OR DO EVIL, THAT YE MAY BE DISMAYED, AND BEHOLD IT TOGETHER.

BEHOLD, YE ARE OF NOTHING (OR OF NO ACCOUNT), AND YOUR WORK OF NAUGHT (AMOUNTS TO NOTHING): AN ABOMINATION IS HE THAT CHOOSETH YOU.

GOD IS SAYING, “LET YOUR IDOLS SHOW WHAT WE CAN DO. LET THEM TRY TO TELL US WHAT OCCURRED IN YEARS GONE BY, OR WHAT THE FUTURE HOLDS. IF YOU ARE GOD’S, TELL WHAT WILL HAPPEN IN THE DAYS AHEAD! OR DO SOME MIGHTY MIRACLE THAT MAKES US STAND AMAZED.    BUT NO! YOU ARE LESS THAN NOTHING, AND CAN DO NOTHING AT ALL. ANYONE WHO CHOOSES YOU NEEDS TO HAVE HIS HEAD EXAMINED!”

GOD IS UNHAPPY, TO SAY THE LEAST, WITH HIS PEOPLE WHO HAVE GOTTEN OFF INTO IDOLATRY. HE WAS MIMICKING THEIR IDOL gods TO THEIR FACE.

MANY CULTURES WORSHIP AND LOOK TO IDOL gods FOR THEIR FUTURE, THAT CANNOT SPEAK OR HEAR, OR MOVE.

IT IS SAD WHEN PEOPLE, INTELLIGENT PEOPLE, FOLLOW AFTER  DEAF AND DUMB IDOLS WHICH IS A WASTE OF THEIR TIME.

THOSE WHO ARE INTO ANY OF THESE OCCULTS AND WITCHCRAFT, THINKING THEMSELVES TO BE SO INTELLIGENT, AND HAVE LOST SIGHT OF THE TRUTH,  SHOULD TURN TO THE RISEN LORD, JESUS CHRIST, WHO IS THE SON OF GOD, AND IS GOD, WHO CAME IN THE FLESH AND DIED ON CALVARY FOR ALL SINNERS.

JESUS SAID IN JOHN 14:6 – I AM THE WAY, THE TRUTH, AND THE LIFE; NO MAN COMETH UNTO THE FATHER, BUT BY ME.

JEHOVAH GOD IS THE ONLY TRUE AND LIVING GOD, WHO KNOWS AND REVEALS THE FUTURE.

YOU MIGHT ASK, “HAS GOD, THE TRUE AND LIVING GOD, EVER TOLD YOU THE FUTURE?’

WELL, I’M GLAD YOU ASKED THAT QUESTION. “YES, MORE THAN ONCE”.

 

 

I WANT TO SHARE THIS WITH YOU IN PART II OF, “WHAT IS YOUR FUTURE?”

TOMORROW.

PEACE TO THIS HOUSE

| Jeanette

HOW CAN WE BE THE CHRISTIAN AND MINISTER GOD WANTS US TO BE, IF THERE IS NO PEACE WITHIN?

IN MY TIME WITH THE LORD, HE SPOKE TO MY HEART, “I AM GOING TO BRING PEACE TO THIS HOUSE.”

I THOUGHT, THERE IS NO TROUBLE IN MY HOUSE. MY HUSBAND HAVE BEEN MARRIED OVER 4O YEARS, AND WE GET ALONG GREAT. THERE IS NO ONE ELSE IN THE HOUSE BUT THE TWO OF US.

THEN I REALIZED, OUR LORD WAS TALKIING ABOUT HIS TEMPLE WITHIN ME.

WE ARE THE TEMPLE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT, I CORINTHIANS 6:19 –  WHAT?  KNOW YE NOT THAT YOUR BODY IS THE TEMPLE OF THE HOLY GHOST WHICH IS IN YE HAVE OF GOD, AND YE ARE NOT YOUR OWN?

IF HE WAS GOING TO BRING PEACE TO MY HOUSE THERE MUST BE A LACK OF IT. I WAS TROUBLED ABOUT TOO MANY THINGS: MINISTRY, PEOPLE.

I KNEW I NEEDED TO HAVE PEACE WITHIN, SO I COULD BE MY BEST FOR GOD AND HIS KINGDOM.

WORRY IS NOT JUST A LACK OF FAITH, IT IS SIN. IT CAUSES A LACK OF PEACE OF MIND AND HEART.

PHILIPPIANS 4:5-7 – LET YOUR MODERATION (SELF CONTROL) BE KNOWN UNTO ALL MEN, THE LORD IS AT HAND (THE LORD IS COMING; THE LORD IS IN CONTROL).

BE CAREFUL FOR NOTHING  (DO NOT BE WORRIED ABOUT ANYTHING; OR DO NOT BE ANXIOUS); BUT IN EVERTHING BY PRAYER AND SUPPLICATION WITH THANKSGIVING LET YOUR REQUESTS BE MADE KNOWN UNTO GOD.

AND THE PEACE OF GOD, WHICH PASSETH ALL UNDERSTANDING, SHALL KEEP (GUARD LIKE A WARRIOR ON DUTY) YOUR HEARTS AND MINDS THROUGH CHRIST JESUS.

GOD GIVES US PEACE THROUGH JESUS CHRIST. JESUS IS CALLED THE PRINCE OF PEACEIN ISAIAH 9:6 – FOR UNTO US A CHILD IS BORN, UNTO US A SON IS GIVEN: AND THE GOVERNMENTSHALL BE UPON HIS SHOULDER: AND HIS NAME SHALL BE CALLED WONDERFUL, COUNSELOR, THE MIGHTY GOD, THE PRINCE OF PEACE.

MANY HAVE INTERRUPTED SLEEP, BECAUSE OF THE LACK OF PEACE: PSALM 4:8 – I WILL BOTH LAY ME DOWN IN PEACE, AND SLEEP: FOR THOU, LORD, ONLY MAKEST ME DWELL IN SAFETY.

WE SEE IN THIS VERSE, ONLY THE PRINCE OF PEACE CAN BRING PEACE.

YOU MAY BE THE ONE WHO IS NOT SLEEPING WELL BECAUSE YOU HAVE SOMETHING IN YOUR LIFE THAT SEPARATES YOU FROM GOD’S BEST FOR YOU. YOU LIE AWAKE, KNOWING, JESUS IS COMING BACK SOON, AND YOU ARE NOT READY. YOU CALL IT THE END OF THE WORLD, BUT FOR A BELIEVER IT IS OUR REAL LIFE, AND NEW GLORIOUS BEGINNING.

THOSE DREAMS YOU HAVE BEEN HAVING, TROUBLE YOU. YOU WAKE UP IN A COLD SWEAT, SAYING, “WHAT’S WRONG WITH ME?”

THOSE OF YOU WHO ARE NOT BORN AGAIN, WILL NEVER FIND PEACE UNTIL YOU GIVE YOUR LIVES TO JESUS CHRIST , AS YOUR LORD AND SAVIOR.

GIVE YOUR HEART AND LIFE TO JESUS, HE IS CALLING YOU TO HIS LOVE AND FORGIVENESS.

SOME NEED TO GIVE UP THAT THING THAT IS COMING BETWEEN YOU AND YOUR LORD: OF YOU DON’T, YOU WILL END UP LOOSING THAT THING, AND ALSO THE ONE WHO DIED FOR YOU.

YOUR CHILDREN NEED PEACE OPERATING IN YOUR LIFE. THIS WILL HELP THEM TO FIND PEACE IN THEIR LIVES.

YOU MIGHT SAY, “I’M DOING THE BEST I CAN, BUT MY CHILDREN A DRIVING ME CRAZY.”

TAKE INVENTORY, DO YOU HAVE PEACE WITH GOD?

DOES YOUR CHILD EXPERIENCE PEACE AND LOVE AT HOME? OR IS THERE ALWAYS TERMOIL, AND A LOT OF YELLING AND SOMETIMES, EVEN FIGHTS BREAK OUT?

SOMETIMES CHILDREN CULTIVATE THIS KIND OF BEHAVIOR IN THEIR LIVES, AND BECOME ANGRY AND REBELLIOUS; AND DON’T EVEN UNDERSTAND WHY THEY ACT THAT WAY, AND FEEL THE STRESS OF LIFE.

IF YOU CULTIVATE A TRUST IN GOD TO TAKE CARE OF EVERYTHING, AND YOU DO YOUR BEST, GOD WILL SEE AND HEAR FROM HEAVEN AND HEAL YOUR LIFE.

WHEN WE AS BELIEVERS DON’T HAVE PEACE, I BELIEVE WE ARE NOT REALLY ABIDING IN HIM. I KNOW HOW THE BALLTES COME TO TRY AND STOP US FROM TRUSTING GOD WITH EVEYTHING THAT COMES OUR WAY, BUT I ALSO KNOW GOD DECLARES THAT THE BATTLE IS HIS.

I HAVE PRAISED MYSELF OUT OF MANY SITUATIONS, WITH PRAYER AND SUPPLICATIONS (SUGGESTS PRAYER TO AVOID ALL EVIL) I LET MY REQUEST BE KNOWN UNTO GOD.

HE ALREADY KNOWS, HE JUST WANTS YOU TO INTIMATELY SHARE IT WITH HIM.

AND ONCE YOU GIVE IT TO HIM, IT’S HIS.

IF WE ASK GOD TO HELP US WALK IN THE SPIRIT AND NOT IN THE FLESH, WE WILL SEE A DIFFERENCE IN OUR DAILY WALK WITH HIM.

THE PEACE THAT GOD GIVES, FLOWS FROM THE SENCING OF HIS MOST GRACIOUS PRESENCE, AND CONSISTS IN CHILD LIKE CONFIDENCE AND TRUSTFUL LOVE.

THIS PEACE PASSES ALL UNDERSTANDING; IT’S CALM BLESSEDNESS GOSES FARTHER THAN THE REACH OF HUMAN THOUGHT; IT CAN BE ONLY KNOWN BY THYE INNER EXPERIENCE OF THE BELIEVER.

HE IS ABLE TO DO EXCEEDINGLY ABUNDANTLY ABOVE ALL THAT WE ASK OR THINK (EPHESIANS 3:20).

PHILIPPIANS 4:7b – …SHALL KEEP YOUR HEARTS AND MINDS THROUGH CHRIST JESUS… THE PEACE OF GOD IN THE HEART IS A SURE AND RELIABLE MILITARY FORCE, GUARDING IT SO THAT THE EVIL SPIRIT, ONCE CAST OUT, CANNOT RETURN.

HAVE YOU EVER NOTICED THE FREEDOM YOU FEEL WHEN SOMETHING BOTHERING YOU KEAVES?

IN CHRIST JESUS, TRUE ABIDING BELIEVERS, UNDERSTAND HIS PROMISE, PEACE I LEAVE WITH YOU, MY PEACE I GIVE UNTO YOU, LET NOT YOUR HEART BE TROUBLED, NEITHER LET IT BE AFRAID (JOHN 14). WE SEE HERE, JESUS GIVES US PEACE, AND THE HOLY SPIRIT ALSO GIVES US PEACE: GALATIANS 5:22 – BUT THE FRUIT OF THE (HOLY) SPIRIT IS LOVE, JOY, PEACE, LONG-SUFFERING, GENTLENESS, GOODNESS, FAITH…

SO WE UNDERSTAND THAT PEACE COMES FROM THE FATHER, THE SON, AND THE HOLY SPIRIT

THE DREAM IS CERTAIN

| Roy

DANIEL 7:13,14 –  I SAW IN THE NIGHT VISIONS, AND, BEHOLD, ONE LIKE THE SON OF MAN CAME WITH CLOUDS OF HEAVEN, AND CAME TO THE ANCIENT OF DAYS, AND THEY BROUGHT HIM NEAR BEFORE HIM.

AND THERE WAS GIVEN HIM DOMINION, AND GLORY, AND A KINGDOM, THAT ALL PEOPLE, NATIONS, AND LANGUAGES, SHOULD SERVE HIM: HIS DOMINION IS A EVERLASTING DOMINION, WHICH SHALL NOT PASS AWAY, AND HIS KINGDOM THAT WHICH SHALL NOT BE DESTROYED.

GOD IS SHOWING DANIEL THE FUTURE KINGDOM OF GOD ON THE EARTH. DANIEL IS SEEING AND EVENT THAT IS  OVER 2000 YEARS IN THE FUTURE, AFTER THE VIRGIN BIRTH, THE CROSS, THE RESURRECTION, AFTER THE ASCENSION OF JESUS TO HIS HEAVENLY THRONE.

THE SON OF MAN IDENTIFIES JESUS AS THE GREAT JUDGE, THE LION OF THE TRIBE OF JUDAH, RETURNING TO THE EARTH, TO DESTROY THE WICKED KINGDOMS OF THE WORLD, TO SET UP THE KINGDOM  OF GOD ON THE EARTH. TO ARREST SATAN, TO BRING THE GOVERNMENT OF GOD TO THE EARTH.

DANIEL SAW THIS GREAT EVENT, HE SAW THE ANCIENT OF DAYS, WHICH IS FATHER GOD. I BELIEVE  JESUS WAS BROUGHT NEAR AND BEFORE THE FATHER, AFTER HIS DEPARTURE FROM THE EARTH, HIS RISING INTO THE CLOUDS IN THE BOOK OF ACTS. DANIEL SAW THIS EVENT.

HEBREWS 1:13  – BUT TO WHICH OF THE ANGELS SAID HE AT ANY TIME, SIT ON MY RIGHT HAND, UNTIL I MAKE THINE ENIMIES THY FOOTSTOOL?

JESUS IS RULING THROUGH HIS CHURCH AT THIS MOMENT, BUT THE WORLD GOVERMENTS STILL RULE THIS WORLD, THIS WILL CHANGE SOON, FOR THE KING OF GLORY IS RETURNING, AND THE RIGHTEOUS WILL RULE AND REIGN WITH HIM. HIS THRONE WILL BE IN JERUSALEM.

JESUS  TOOK ON HIMSELF HUMAN FLESH, THROUGH THE VIRGIN BIRTH, HE BECAME LIKE US, HE CAME TO OFFER US FORGIVENESS OF SIN, HE CAME TO OFFER US MERCY, A PARDON FOR OUR SIN, HE CAME TO OFFER US HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS. HE CAME TO RESTORE WHAT THE FIRST ADAM LOST. WE WHO RECEIVE HIM ARE MADE SONS AND DAUGHTERS OF GOD. WE ARE BORN AGAIN INTO THE FAMILY OF GOD. THE LORD CREATED ALL OF US WE ARE ALL ONE BLOOD, CREATED FOR HIS GLORY. WHY NOT ACCEPT JESUS TODAY IF YOU DON’T HAVE HIM IN YOUR HEART, ASK HIM TO COME IN.

MATT25:31-34   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:

AND BEFORE HIM SHALL BE GATHERED ALL NATIONS: AND SHALL SEPERATE THEM ONE FROM ANOTHER, AS A SHEPHERD DIVIDETH HIS SHEEP FROM GOATS:

AND HE SHALL SET THE SHEEP ON HIS RIGHT HAND, BUT THE GOATSOF THE LEFT.

THEN SHALL THE KINGSAY UNTO THEM ON HIS RIGHT HAND, COME YE BLESSED OF MY FATHER, INHERT THE KINGDOM PREPARED FOR YOU FROM THE FOUNDATION OF THE WORLD.

THIS IS OF COURSE THE RETURN OF CHRIST, THE SON OF MAN, THE GREAT JUDGE OF THE NATIONS WHO EXIST AT HIS RETURN.

THE KING IS COMING AGAIN, HE WILL PUT DOWN HUMAN GOVERNMENT, AND GOD HIMSELF WILL REIGN ON THIS EARTH.

DANIEL 2:44,45 –  AND IN THE DAYS OF THESE KINGS SHALL THE GOD OF HEAVEN SET UP A KINGDOM, WHICH SHALL NEVER BE DESTROYED: AND THE KINGDOM SHALL NOT BE LEFT TO OTHER PEOPLE, BUT IT SHALL BREAK IN PIECES AND CONSUME ALL THESE KINGDOMS, AND IT SHALL STAND FOR EVER.

FORASMUCH AS THOU SAWEST THAT THE STONE WAS CUT OUT OF THE MOUNTAIN WITHOUT HANDS, AND THAT IT BREAK IN PIECES THE IRON, THE BRASS, THE CLAY, THE SILVER, AND THE GOLD; THE GREAT GOD HATH MADE KNOWN TO THE KINGWHAT SHALL COME TO PASS HEREAFTER: AND THE DREAM IS CERTAIN AND THE INTERPRETATION THEREOF SURE.

JOHN THE BAPTIST DIDN’T UNDERSTAND THE TWO ADVENTS OF JESUS, NEITHER DID THE APOSTLES FULLY UNDERSTAND THIS. BUT WE CAN LOOK BACK AND SEE GODS PURPOSE, AFTER THE NATION OF ISRAEL REJECTED THEIR MESSIAH JESUS, THE GOSPEL WAS RECEIVED BY THE GENTILES.

BUT REMEMBER THIS, THE GIFTS AND CALLINGS OF GOD ARE WITHOUT REPENTANCE. THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CAME TO US GENTILE NATIONS THROUGH THE JEWISH PEOPLE, JESUS, HIMSELF BORN INTO A JEWISH FAMILY. WE ARE ALL ONE BLOOD, OUR BOUNDARIES WERE SET BY GOD, YOU AND I WERE BORN WHERE GOD INTENDED FOR US TO BE BORN, YOU WERE BORN FOR SUCH A TIME AS THIS. YOU HAVE A PURPOSE IN THIS EARTH FOR THE KING. STAY BUSY UNTIL HE COMES. COME QUICKLY LORD JESUS. AMEN.

PSALMS 16:10,11 –  FOR THOU WILT NOT LEAVE MY SOUL IN HELL: NEITHER WILT THOU SUFFER THINE HOLY ONE TO SEE CORRUPTION.

THY WILT SHEW ME THE PATH OF LIFE: IN THY PRESENCE IS FULNESS OF JOY: AT THY RIGHT HAND THERE ARE PLEASURES EVERMORE.

JESUS IS SPEAKING THROUGH DAVID, BY THE ANOINTING, CONCERNING HIS DEATH, BURIAL AND RESURRECTION.

THE FATHER WILL RESURRECT THE BODY OF JESUS THROUGH THE POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT.

JESUS TOLD THE UNBELIVING, RELIGIOUS CRITICS, AS JONAH STAYED IN THE BELLY OF THE FISH 3 DAYS AND NIGHTS, SO SHALL THE SON OF MAN STAY IN GRAVE 3 DAYS AND 3 NIGHTS. HIS EARTHLY BODY WILL NOT SEE CORRUPTION. THE GRAVE WILL NOT BE ABLE TO HOLD HIM. JESUS WILL CONQUER DEATH AND THE GRAVE, HE WILL RIP APART SATANS AUTHORITY.

THE PATH OF LIFE WAS GIVEN TO THE OLD TESTAMENT SAINTS AT HIS RESURRECTION, ALSO FOR ALL OF US BELIVERS WHEN JESUS RETURNS FOR HIS CHURCH, THE DEAD IN CHRIST SHALL RISE FIRST, AND THEN THOSE ALIVE SHALL BE CHANGED TO A GLORFIED BODY.

THE OLD TESTAMENT BELIEVERS IN THE PROMISED MESSIAH, WHO’S  BODIES WERE IN THE GRAVE, WERE RESURRECTED AT THE RESURRECTION OF JESUS.

MATT 27:52,53 – AND THE GRAVES WERE OPENED, AND MANY BODIES OF THE SAINTS WHICH SLEPT AROSE.

AND CAME OUT OF THE GRAVES AFTER HIS RESURRECTION AND WENT INTO THE HOLY CITY, AND APPEARED UNTO MANY.

THIS WAS DONE FOR A WITNESS TO THE CITY OF JERUSALEM, THAT JESUS WAS THE SON OF GOD. WHAT MERCY.

DEATH COULD NOT HOLD JESUS, AND DEATH COULD NOT HOLD THE OLD TESTAMENT SAINTS, WHO DIED LOOKING FOR THE MESSIAH.

IN THE BOOK OF LUKE CHAPTER SIXTEEN, WE SEE A MAN THAT WENT TO HEAVEN AND WE SEE A MAN WHO WENT TO HELL. THERE WAS ACTUALLY AT THAT TIME TWO COMPARTMENTS IN THE CENTER OF THE EARTH, WHICH WAS SEPERATE FROM EACH OTHER. ONE COMPARTMENT WAS A PLACE TO TORMENT, FOR THE WICKED DEAD, THE OTHER COMPARTMENT WAS FOR THE RIGHTEOUS DEAD. THERE WAS A GULF THAT SEPERATED THEM. WHEN JESUS WENT INTO THE CENTER OF THE EARTH, HE PREACHED TO THE RIGHTEOUS DEAD CONCERNING WHAT WAS ABOUT TO HAPPEN.

LUKE 16:23  –  AND IN HELL (EVIL MAN) HE LIFT UP HIS EYES, BEING IN TORMENTS, AND SEETH ABRAHAM AFAR OFF, AND LAZARUS IN HIS BOSOM.

JESUS TOLD THIS TRUE STORY BEFORE HE WAS CRUCIFIED. IT IS EVIDENT THERE WERE 2 COMPARTMENTS IN HADES: ONE FOR THE RIGHTEOUS DEAD, THE OTHER FOR THE UNRIGHTEOUS DEAD.

NOAH, ABRAHAM, ISSAC, JACOB, DAVID, AND MANY MORE, WERE THERE. DAVID WAS PROPHESYING OF THIS EVENT IN PSALMS SIXTEEN. ALL OF THESE WERE WAITING ON THE COMING MESSIAH AND THE RESSURECTION OF THERE BODIES.

JOB19:25,26 – FOR I KNOW MY REDEEMER LIVETH, AND THAT HE SHALL STAND AT THE LATTER DAY UPON THE EARTH:

AND THOUGH AFTER MY SKIN WORMS DESTROY THIS BODY, YET IN MY FLESH SHALL I SEE GOD.

JOB WAS GIVEN BY GOD, THE REVELATION OF MESSIAH AND RESURRECTION OF THE BODY. JOB IS ACTUALLY THE OLDEST BOOK IN THE BIBLE.

ISAIAH 26:19  –  THY DEAD MEN SHALL LIVE, TOGETHER WITH MY DEAD BODY SHALL THEY ARISE. AWAKE AND SING, YE THAT DWELL IN DUST: FOR THE DEW IS AS THE DEW OF HERBS, AND THE EARTH SHALL CAST OUT THE DEAD.

ISAIAH HAD THIS REVELATION FROM GOD OF THE RESURRECTION OF THE DEAD. JESUS IS ACTUALLY SPEAKING THROUGH ISAIAH IS THIS VERSE. JESUS SAID THE DEAD SHALL ARISE TOGETHER WITH MY DEAD BODY.

OUR FAITH WOULD BE IN VAIN WITHOUT A RESURRECTION, BUT OUR FAITH IS NOT IN VAIN BECAUSE JESUS IS THE FIRST TO EVERY RESURRECT FROM THE DEAD. HE PREDICTED HE WOULD ARISE FROM THE DEAD AND HE DID.

1 CORINTHIANS 15:20-26 – BUT NOW IS CHRIST RISEN FROM THE DEAD, AND BECOME THE FIRSTFRUITS OF THEM THAT SLEPT (DIED).

FOR SINCE BY MAN CAME DEATH, BY MAN CAME ALSO THE RESURRECTION OF THE DEAD. (FIRST – ADAM, LAST ADAM – JESUS)

FOR AS IN ADAM ALL DIE, EVEN SO IN CHRIST SHALL ALL BE MADE ALIVE.

BUT EVERY MAN IN HIS OWN ORDER; CHRIST THE FIRSTFRUITS; AFTERWARD THEY THAT ARE CHRIST’S AT HIS COMING. (NEW TESTAMENT  BELIEVERS)

THEN COMETH THE END, WHEN HE SHALL HAVE DELIVERED UP THE KINGDOM OF GOD, EVEN THE FATHER; WHEN HE SHALL HAVE PUT DOWN ALL RULE AND AUTHORITY AND POWER. ( END OF THOUSAND YEAR REIGN ON EARTH.)

FOR HE MUST REIGN, TILL HE HATH PUT ALL ENEMIES UNDER HIS FEET.

THE LAST ENEMY THAT SHALL BE DESTROYED IS DEATH.

JESUS SAID I AM THE RESURRECTION AND LIFE. AT THIS MONENT HE IS IN THE PRESENCE OF HIS HEAVENLY FATHER, SITTING AT HIS RIGHT HAND. WAITING FOR THE HARVEST, KNOWING THAT HE WILL RETURN FOR HIS CHURCH, AND THE RESURRECTION OF THOSE WHO DIED IN CHRIST.     

1 THESSALONIANS 4:13-18 – BUT I WOULD NOT HAVE YOU IGNORANT, BRETHREN, CONCERNING THEM WHICH ARE ASLEEP (BODY IN GRAVE, SPIRIT AND SOUL WITH JESUS), THAT YOU SORROW NOT, EVEN AS OTHERS WHICH HAVE NO HOPE.

FOR IF WE BELIEVE THAT JESUS DIED AND ROSE AGAIN, EVEN SO THEM  ALSO WHICH SLEEP IN JESUS WILL GOD BRING WITH THEM.

FOR THIS WE SAY UNTO TO YOU BY THE WORD OF THE LORD, THAT WE WHICH ARE ALIVE AND REMAIN UNTO THE COMING OF THE LORD SHALL NOT PREVENT THEM WHICH ARE ASLEEP.

FOR THE LORD HIMSELF SHALL DESCEND FROM HEAVEN WITH A SHOUT, WITH THE VOICE OF THE ARCHANGEL, AND WITH THE TRUMP OF GOD: AND THE DEAD IN CHRIST SHALL RISE FIRST.

THEN WE WHICH ARE ALIVE AND REMAIN SHALL BE CAUGHT UP TOGETHER WITH THEM IN THE CLOUDS, TO MEET THE LORD IN THE AIR: AND SO SHALL WE EVER BE WITH THE LORD.

WHEREFORE COMFORT ONE ANOTHER WITH THESE WORDS.

NO MISSING LINK HERE, GOD KNOWS ALL THE FUTURE,  HE PLANNED IT. HE CREATED THE EARTH AND ALL WE SEE. ACCEPT JESUS AS YOU SAVIOUR, HE LOVES YOU, IF YOU REJECT HIM AFTER ALL THE PROOF IN HIS WORD, AND HIS DEATH AND RESURRECTION, YOU ARE LOST AND WITHOUT HOPE. PLEASE THINK ABOUT THIS. REPENT AND ASK JESUS TO COME INTO YOUR HEART BY FAITH. HE LOVES YOU, BUT IF YOU DIE WITHOUT HIM, HE WILL JUDGE YOU. HE CAN BE YOUR BEST FRIEND OR YOUR WORST ENEMY. YOU CHOOSE, RESURRECTION WITH THE RIGHTEOUS IN CHRIST OR THE RESURRECTION OF UNRIGHTEOUS DEAD WITHOUT CHRIST.

GOD’S PROMISE TO SATAN

| Roy

GENESIS 3:15  AND I WILL PUT ENMITY BETWEEN THEE  AND THE WOMAN, AND BETWEEN THY SEED AND HER SEED, IT SHALL BRUISE THY HEAD, AND THOU SHALL BRUISE HIS  HEEL.

GOD MADE A PROMISE TO THE DEVIL, THAT THROUGH THE SEED OF A WOMAN, HE WOULD REDEEM MANKIND.

THIS PROMISE WAS FULFILLED WHEN JESUS WAS BORN OF  A VIRGIN, GOD SENT HIS SON INTO THE FLESH OF MAN.

GOD HAS ONLY ONE PLAN TO REDEEM MAN. JESUS CHRIST IS THE ONLY PLAN, HE IS THE SEED OF THE WOMAN.

ISLAM IS NOT THE SEED, HINDUISM IS NOT THE SEED, BUDDHA  IS NOT THE SEED, JOSEPH SMITH IS NOT THE SEED, JEHOVAH WITNESS IS NOT THE SEED.

NO OTHER PERSON OR SECRET SOCIETY WILL REDEEM MANKIND.

THE SEED IS JESUS CHRIST AND HIM ALONE. HIS NAME IS SALVATION, HE IS GODS LAMB AND HE IS THE KING, AND EVERY KNEE SHALL BOW AND EVERY TONGUE SHALL CONFESS THAT JESUS CHRIST IS LORD.

JESUS CAME TO DESTROY THE WORKS OF THE DEVIL, HE HAS ALREADY COMPLETED PHASE  1 OF HIS MISSION.

HE WILL RETURN AGAIN SHORTLY FOR PHASE 2 WHEN HE RAISES THE DEAD IN CHRIST AND TAKES THE CHURCH TO HEAVEN.

THEN GOD WILL TURN HIS EYES TO THE JEWISH PEOPLE AND ISRAEL.

JACOBS TROUBLE, A SEVEN YEAR PERIOD, THE 70TH WEEK, AND ALL OF ISRAEL WILL COME TO JESUS, THE SEED OF THE WOMB OF THE JESUS WOMAN MARY.

MARY BIRTHED THE SEED OF HER OWN SALVATION.

GODS PROMISE TO SATAN WAS FULFILLED AT THE CROSS AND EMPTY TOMB. SATANS KINGDOM IS COMING DOWN, SATANS KINGDOM WILL BE DESTROYED.

SATAN IS DECEIVING MANY PEOPLE THROUGH RELIGION AND AND AN EVIL HEART OF UNBELIEF

THERE IS ONLY 2 KINGDOM’S IN THIS EARTH, THE KINGDOM OF GOD AND THE KINGDOM OF SATAN.

WHICH KINGDOM ARE YOU IN? IF YOU DON’T HAVE JESUS AS YOUR REDEEMER, YOU ARE IN THE KINGDOM OF SATAN.

THE SEED OF WOMAN IS JESUS CHRIST. IN HIM IS ETERNAL LIFE.

SURRENDER YOUR LIFE TO HIM, ASK HIM TO COME INTO YOUR HEART BY FAITH. ENJOY A RELATIONSHIP WITH A RISEN KING.

LOVE YOUR HUSBAND

| Jeanette

LOVE YOUR HUSBAND

Woman of God, do you struggle with the question:
What is my role in God’s kingdom?
I desire to be the best I can be in every area of my life,
But where are those older women who are supposed to teach me?
I want to please God.
I want to be a godly example in my home.
Help me!
Well, this message was birthed by God, to do this very thing.
I will attempt to answer your questions.

I am only a woman myself, with your same desires.
God has dealt with me to write this message just for you.
You may not even be a Christian, but the Lord somehow prompted you to follow this site.

No marriage can work without God in the center of the home.

As we go through the Scriptures together,
I ask you to have your Bible open.

Today we will be studying Titus 2:4 –
That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children.
I want to zero in on a portion of this verse.
…that they may teach the young women to…love their husbands…
Why would we have to be taught to love our husbands?
There must be some of us who have a problem in this area.
If not, it wouldn’t even be mentioned in the precious Word of God.

I feel we need to love our husbands in three areas:
Phileo (in the Greek) which is friendship love
Agape (in the Greek) which is the God kind of love
Awhab, (pronounced aw-hab’, in the Hebrew) Which is sensual or romantic love

In our hearts, we must have more love for our husbands than anyone on this earth, because we are supposed to love them in three areas
whereas we only love all others with two kinds of love.

The God Kind of LoveLadies, love that husband first with the God kind of love.

Begin to look at him as God sees him.
The way you get to this place, is to put God first in your life.
God requires time with you; and you can’t really be a woman of God without it.
My secret place with God is early in the morning, in the sunroom of our home. – I get my Bible, study material, and my journal and spend time with my Lord alone.
Sometimes I write prayers to God in My journal.
Many times things have come up during the day I would not have reacted to in the right way, except that God had given me a Scripture or inspiration that helped me to walk in the Spirit that day.

If we love the Lord our God with all our soul and all our might,
He will help us to love our husbands the way He planned in the beginning.
God will help us show respect to that man so our children will do the same.

The God kind of love is not selfish nor jealous.
The God kind of love can only come from our Creator.
So ask Him for it.

Friendship love
This kind of love should have been the love with which your relationship began; and should continue throughout your lives together.
Our husbands should be our best friend.
Treat him that way, he will warm up to it.
It is a proven fact that there is still a little boy inside every husband.

We should desire to be with them more than anyone else on this earth.
Many young women make the mistake of “switching friends” when the children come along. The children become our best friends and the husband feels pushed aside.
Girl, why did you marry that man in the first place?
Because you just couldn’t live without him. Well, what happened?
You who work outside the home, might say, “The children need all my attention when I get home.”
You that are stay-at-home moms say “I have been with these children all day, I don’t feel like giving my husband special attention when he gets home. I’m exhausted”.

Spending time with God each day can help you to put your priorities in order. Don’t forget, you chose that man to be your husband.

Romantic or Sensual Love
This kind of love is just as important as the other two because God sanctioned it for husband and wife together (only). Courtship before marriage is a time to learn things about each other and spend time with the one God has led to you.
It seems to me there is too much sexual contact experienced during the courting period in this day and time.
Sensual love is only to be experienced by husband and wife.
It is a gift a bride and groom give to each other after the wedding ceremony.
It is ordained by God and should be kept alive all the days of your lives together. It is wonderful and is worth waiting for.

I will sum-up this message today with these words.
Many women want to choose there own way of doing things, but I have found through trial and error, over the years, that the Word works.
Human intellect always thinks it’s right, but throughout the years, as man has come back to the Biblical point of view, they have found stability in it’s principles.
We know, as a woman of God, the power of the Word and the power of prayer, has brought us into a greater insight and revelation of the Lord’s intentions for us, which is always good: what is best for us.

God’s Word never fails.
His plan is to bring us to the place He wants us to be as wives.
He shows us the correct way, which cannot be improved upon.

Your own way might work for a while, but rebellion to God’s Word brings a curse with it every time. We can receive a curse or a blessing.
We all should desire God’s blessings.
This is my desire for you also — blessings!

My prayer for you is, that you will put into practice what you have learned today, with God’s help.

I speak blessings over you; spiritually, physically and financially.

The Word of God says:
Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.” (3 John 2)
This is God’s will for you.

Let’s look at a bad marriage example
Laura is married to a young man she doesn’t even like.
When they were dating, he was very affectionate and attentive.
He also sent her gifts, but she knew nothing about him.
It happened so quick, she was swept off her feet.
They were married soon after they met,
but she really didn’t know him.

She began to see traits in him she had never noticed before.
He was jealous. He soon became violent and beat her many times.
She is trapped.
What happened?

We need to know more about those we become attracted to.
We should only become interested in a man of God,
not some one who only professes to be a man of God.
Ask questions before you get too interested.

You who are already married, don’t make the mistake of trying to change him to be what you want him to be.
That never works.
Ask God to do the changing each time you see something about him you don’t like.
Pray for him.
Maybe it’s you. Maybe you are too sensitive, so pray the same prayer for yourself.
“Father, I come to You in the name of Jesus. Help me and my husband to be the woman and man of God you created us to be.
Help our friendship to grow, that we might have a greater understanding of each other”.
