GOD’S IDEA OF RICHES !

But my God shall supply all your needs according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.”(Philippians 4:19).“THE earth is the LORD’S,and the fulness therof; the world and they that dwell therein.”(Psalm 24:1).Our Heavenly Father is so powerful and rich that the Heavenly city that he made for us to live in where he also lives, has streets made of pure gold and huge diamonds, and jewels just laying around like rocks. So the treasures Jesus said to lay up for yourselves are obviously not talking about gold and silver and precious jewels,but they are something else.They are the precious souls you have won or helped to win for Jesus that will be in Heaven forever! There won’t be any rent to pay because everything is free.There won’t be any need to have a treasure chest of gold stashed away or bank accounts. “And they shall be mine, saith the Lord of hosts,in that day when I make up my jewels; and I  will spare them, as a man spareth his own son that serveth him.”(Malachi 3:17).He is no fool who gives what he can not keep to gain what he can not lose. Did you know that when you ask Jesus to come into your heart, you not only become a born again Christian person, but you also become an adopted person? That is right, you become an adopted son or daughter of God’s family, “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.”(John 1:12).This means that you have a home in God’s Heavenly home and have a right to go into his great Heavenly City and live there with all the other saved brothers and sisters, and Jesus Christ our big brother and Saviour, and friend, and our King of Kings and Lord of Lord’s. God and the Holy Spirit, and Jesus, the only begotten Son of God, all live in, and rule from this Holy City made of Gold and Jewels and precious pearls and gems. You can read all about your future home in our classes on Revelation Chapters 21 and 22. Since you are destined to relocate there, wouldn’t you like to learn all about it, and help as many people as you can to get there? So don’t get so hung up in this world and all of its cares and worries. You have a wonderful future to look forward to, and it might be sooner than you think.

Say this prayer to be saved: Jesus, I want to know you, and to live forever in Heaven, I know I have made mistakes and done bad things- and I am sorry. Please forgive me. I know I don’t deserve it, but I accept your love and I accept you as my Saviour. I believe you died on the cross for my sins ,and rose from the dead. Please come into my heart and life and fill me with your Holy Spirit and give me peace. Amen.

INSPIRING TRUE THOUGHTS ABOUT HEAVEN

Heaven is a city without a cemetery .

Heaven is something we can easily get excited about and look forward to.It will be like Christmas is for children, only it will be the greatest Christmas we have ever had!

Heaven and the spirit world are much more real, beautiful, and lasting, then the world you can see with your natural eyes at this very moment.

Heaven is a beautiful place to be, full of beautiful people having a beautiful time.

Heaven is a permanent residence, a place where we unpack our bags, and stay forever. What a glorious thought to wake up in Heaven and realize it is home! Leaving this life is like going from one room to another and closing the door. Death it but a passage from a prison into a palace.

“The things which are seen are temporal;  But the things which are not seen are eternal”. (2 Corinthians 4:18)

Your body is not the real you. It is just the physical house you live in.The real you is your spirit which will live on forever.

[In the day of death:] “Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it.”(Ecclesiastes 12:7)

From dust thou art, to dust thou shall return, was not spoken about the Spirit.

Death from this life is just graduation from this grade. It is our release , our graduation, our promotion. School is out!  We have finished our schooling in this grade, and we pass on to the next grade.

Jesus said: “ I am the resurrection and the life: he that believeth in Me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: and whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die.”( John 11: 25,26)

A solider said; “When I die, do not sound taps over my grave, but reveille- the morning call, the summons to rise.”

Jesus said: “ I go to prepare a place for you.” ( John 14:2). We do not enter the next life as strangers. We are expected and prepared for. We are eagerly desired.

One of the most beautiful verses in the Bible about Heaven is in the 21st Chapter of Revelation, verse 4. “And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain; for the former things are passed away.”

One of the best things about Heaven is that we will be able to reunite with loved ones who have already passed on. It will be the greatest family reunion we have ever known, with our loved ones, relatives, and ancestors all together in one place at one time at last.

There are no “good- byes” in Heaven.

The best thing that you could possibly imagine about what Heaven is like is nothing compared to what it is really like. The best part of Heaven will be seeing Jesus. One glimpse of his dear face all sorrow will erase. Jesus and God, our Heavenly Father and the Holy Spirit will not only be living in us in our hearts, but they will be living with us. “But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.” (1 Corinthians 2:9).

If you want to go to Heaven someday, sincerely pray this simple prayer:

Jesus, I want to know you and to live forever in Heaven, I know I have made mistakes and done bad things- and I am sorry. Please forgive me. I know I don’t deserve it, but I accept your love and I accept you as my Savior. Please come into my heart and life and fill me with your Holy Spirit and give me peace. Amen.

 

JESUS LOVES AND CARES ABOUT YOU !!!

Jesus loves you, and he knows everything, and he knows all that you are going through and all of your struggles. He knows all of your weaknesses, and worries and fears he also wants good things for you’re future, and he knows how much faith you have, and he wants to help you and strengthen you through all of it. Can you change God’s mind ? Yes within certain limits of his will. Jesus said that the hairs of your head are all numbered. Jesus also said that one sparrow shall not fall unless God alows it, and one blade of grass shall not die unless God knows, and allows it. He is where you are! The Bible says ,” a just man falleth seven times and riseth up again.( Proverbs 24:16). This means unlimited forgiveness from Jesus to all who sincerely ask him! Like Jesus told Peter to forgive 7 X 70 times. You can never be to bad for Jesus, only too good! ” If a man would judge himself, he should not be judged. (1 Corinthians 11:31,32). If you have known the Lord for any length of time, I think it will be hard to stand in judgement on others.” Judge not, that ye be not judged, for with what judgement ye judge, ye shall be judged.” (Matthew 7: 1). Isn’t this all part of growing in the Lord, and growing in love ? “And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.” (Romans 8:28).Won’t you turn to Jesus and let him work things out for you for good?

Say this prayer to be saved: Jesus, I want to know you, and to live forever in Heaven, I know I have made mistakes and done bad things- and I am sorry. Please forgive me. I know I don’t deserve it, but I accept your love and I accept you as my Saviour. I  believed you died on the cross for my sins and rose from the dead. Please come into my heart and life and fill me with your Holy Spirit and give me peace. Amen.

Prayer of Jabez

 “And Jabez called on the God of Israel, saying, Oh that thou wouldest bless me indeed, and enlarge my coast, and that thine hand might be with me, and that thou wouldest keep me from evil, that it may not grieve me! And God granted him that which he requested.”(1 Chronicles 4:10) 

Say this prayer to be saved: Jesus, I want to know you, and to live forever in Heaven, I know I have made mistakes and done bad things- and I am sorry. Please forgive me. I know I don’t deserve it, but I accept your love and I accept you as my Saviour. I believe you died on the cross for my sins ,and rose from the dead. Please come into my heart and life and fill me with your Holy Spirit and give me peace. Amen.

A LESSON ON FORGIVENESS (video & text)

 

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H4PWLprwdj4&feature=youtu.be

I wonder how many times that we say the words from the Lord’s Prayer,that we really fully understand what we are saying? “For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you: But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.”(Matthew 6:14,15). You mean were only going to be forgiven the way we forgive others? Yes, that’s what it says. Lord help us to be more forgiving so that we too may be forgiven. I know I need a lot of mercy and forgiving from the Lord and others so that’s why I want to be more forgiving because with the same degree of forgiving I show toward others that is the same degree of forgiving God will show back to me. Unforgiveness is like taking in a poison and hoping to get better. Unforgiveness will even make you physically sick. Those who won’t forgive others break down the bridge which they themselves must cross over “As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us.”.(Psalm 103:12)  “I, even I, am he that blotteth out thy transgressions for mine own sake,and will not remember thy sins.”(Isaiah 43:25)  “whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.”(Galatians 6:7b). If we want the Lord to not remember our sins then we should be treating others the same way, not just forgiving, but also forgetting. “Then came Peter unto him, and said Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me,and I forgive him? till seven times? Jesus saith unto him. I say not unto thee,Until seven times;but, Until seventy times seven.” (Mathew 18:21,22). Perhaps the hardest person that you will ever have to forgive is yourself !

Say this prayer to be saved: Jesus, I want to know you, and to live forever in Heaven, I know I have made mistakes and done bad things- and I am sorry. Please forgive me. I know I don’t deserve it, but I accept your love and I accept you as my Saviour. I believe you died on the cross for my sins ,and rose from the dead. Please come into my heart and life and fill me with your Holy Spirit and give me peace. Amen.

JESUS IS THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD

I am so glad that I found Jesus aren’t you? Billions of people wake up in spiritual darkness every day not knowing the Light of the World Jesus Christ. Jesus said, “I am the LIGHT OF THE WORLD and he that follows me shall not walk in darkness but shall have the LIGHT OF LIFE.” ( John 8: 12). You could be one of those people who worship cows thinking they are their dead ancestors, or one of those who make temples for rats and feed them before they feed their own children. Reincarnation teaches that when you die if you were a good enough person that you would come back as a better person or if you were a bad person you would come back as a donkey or a roach or some other critter. Reincarnation is a works religion.True Christianity teaches salvation is attained by grace (Gift Received At Christ’s Expense), by accepting Jesus into your heart by faith. The Bible teaches that you only die once.” And as it is appointed unto man once to die and after that the judgment.” (Hebrews 9:27). However the Bible does talk about the second death called “The Great White Throne Judgment”. This is a spiritual death when all the unsaved are resurrected to stand before God to be judged.( Revelation 20). So if your born twice (by being born again) you will only die once, but if you are born only once you will die twice. “Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother’s womb, and be born? Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.  That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.  Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again. The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.”(John 3:3-8).  Some of you were saved at a very young age and were so fortunate because you grew up knowing Jesus ,and his love, and his Word and truth, and didn’t have to grow up in the horrible darkness and pain and actual spiritual torture , and hell of not knowing Jesus. You have so much truth compared to so many who live in darkness. If people call me a religious fanatic, I take it as a compliment because they are actually saying I love Jesus more than them. Lord help us to see the lost of this world through your eyes as you see them. Give us your love for the lost. “But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with compassion upon them, because they fainted, and were scattered abroad, as sheep having no shepherd. Then saith he unto his disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous ,but the laborers are few; Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest ,that he will send forth laborers unto his harvest.” (Matthew 9:36-38). “Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee. For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the Lord shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee.” (Isaiah 60:1,2).

Say this prayer to be saved: Jesus, I want to know you, and to live forever in Heaven, I know I have made mistakes and done bad things- and I am sorry. Please forgive me. I know I don’t deserve it, but I accept your love and I accept you as my Saviour. Please come into my heart and life and fill me with your Holy Spirit and give me peace. Amen.

Are Words Really That Important ? (video & text)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n-D9qiDWF2w

 

Are words important? Yes, they are to God. People are known by their words. Jesus is the Word.

“And the Word was made flesh and dwelt among us and we beheld his glory as the glory of the only begotten of the Father full of grace and truth.” (John 1:14). “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the word was God.” (John l: 1). “for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh. A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things. But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment. For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.” (Matthew 12: 34b-37).”A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in pictures of silver.”( Proverbs 25:11).God spoke all of creation into existence with his Word. Since words are so important with God, shouldn’t we be more careful about what comes out of our mouths? “Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers. And grieve not the Holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption. Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice:” (Ephesians 4:29-31).The annointing of the Holy Spirit will leave you if you use cuss words and evil speaking. If you keep doing this you will become like the person whose conscience was seared with a hot iron. Don’t harden your heart against the conviction of the Holy Ghost. Evil bad words can defile your spirit, and cause you to loose God’s blessings. Don’t grieve or quench the Holy Spirit. ( I Thessalonians 5:19).  “Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man.”( Matthew 15:11). If you are guilty of this or have developed a bad habit doing it. Ask Jesus to help you and forgive you and believe that he will and he will. You will feel better and be happier. “If ye know these things happy are ye if ye do them.”(John 13: 17).My brethren, be not many masters, knowing that we shall receive the greater condemnation. For in many things we offend all. If any man offend not in word, the same is a perfect man, and able also to bridle the whole body. Behold, we put bits in the horses’ mouths, that they may obey us; and we turn about their whole body. Behold also the ships, which though they be so great, and are driven of fierce winds, yet are they turned about with a very small helm, whithersoever the governor listeth. Even so the tongue is a little member, and boasteth great things. Behold, how great a matter a little fire kindleth! And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity: so is the tongue among our members, that it defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire of hell.  For every kind of beasts, and of birds, and of serpents, and of things in the sea, is tamed, and hath been tamed of mankind: but the tongue can no man tame; it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison. Therewith bless we God, even the Father; and therewith curse we men, which are made after the similitude of God.  Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be.  Doth a fountain send forth at the same place sweet water and bitter?  Can the fig tree, my brethren, bear olive berries? either a vine, figs? so can no fountain both yield salt water and fresh. Who is a wise man and endued with knowledge among you? let him shew out of a good conversation his works with meekness of wisdom.  But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth. This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish.  For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work. But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy. And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace.”( James Chapter 3).“But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness.” (II Timothy 2:16).”Even a fool, when he holdeth his peace, is counted wise: and he that shutteth his lips is esteemed a man of understanding.” ( Proverbs 17:28).There are no neutrals. You are either living for the devil and voicing his propaganda, or your living for Jesus Christ and voicing His TRUTH. Remember what would Jesus say and do?

Say this prayer to be saved: Jesus, I want to know you, and to live forever in Heaven, I know I have made mistakes and done bad things- and I am sorry. Please forgive me. I know I don’t deserve it, but I accept your love and I accept you as my Saviour. I believe you died on the cross for my sins ,and rose from the dead. Please come into my heart and life and fill me with your Holy Spirit and give me peace. Amen.

TAKE TIME TO PRAY

If your day is hemmed with prayer it is less likely to come unraveled. Prayer moves the hand of God which moves the Mountains. Satan trembles when he sees the weakest saint on his knees. The picture of strength is the picture of the sinner on his knees. Build your house upon the rock Jesus Christ and when the storms of life come it will not be washed away. “Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock: And the rain descended, and  the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock. And every one that heareth these sayings of mine and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man,which built his house upon the sand: And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.”( Matthew 7:24-27). It is out of fashion to talk about Hell, but Hell is not out of business. The reason for so many earthquakes, and volcanoes, other than a sign of the end times, is because hell needs more room for all the people going there.“Therefore hell hath enlarged herself, and opened her mouth without measure: and their glory, and their multitude, and their pomp, and he that rejoiceth, shall descend into it. Hell from beneath is moved for thee to meet thee at thy coming: it stirreth up the dead for thee, even all the chief ones of the earth; it hath raised up from their thrones all the kings of the nations.”(Isaiah 5:14,& 14:9 ).“ For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.” (Matthew 24:7), “Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so ,Amen.” (Revelation 1:7). Aren’t you glad that you don’t have to go to Hell, and have that fear hanging over you all the time? If you have asked Jesus Christ to come into your heart, then that is one major fear that you don’t have to worry about forever ! I got up early one morning and rushed right into the day. I had so much to accomplish that I didn’t have time to pray. Problems just tumbled about me and heavier came each task. I wondered why God didn’t help me, he said,but you didn’t ask. I got up early this morning and paused before entering the day .I have so much to accomplish that I have to take time to pray.

Say this prayer to be saved: Jesus, I want to know you, and to live forever in Heaven, I know I have made mistakes and done bad things- and I am sorry. Please forgive me. I know I don’t deserve it, but I accept your love and I accept you as my Saviour. Please come into my heart and life and fill me with your Holy Spirit and give me peace. Amen.

ANGELS ( part 5)

We have learned from our study on Angels that they do have a free will, and can sin, and rebel, and make mistakes just like we humans can also do, and do, and Angels are not perfect beings. So therefore can Angels be saved from hell? Well the best way I know how to answer that question, and all questions is by the scriptures. John 3:16 says,“For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” Notice that it says “whosoever”. Are Angels part of the “whosoever”? I believe they are.“The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is long suffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.” So there you have it. Angels are not robots, and can sin, and be saved from hell, and forgiven, and restored, and reinstated into God’s service, after they have come to know the Lord in a different way by his Love, and Mercy, and Grace, just like Adam and Eve did after they sinned, and disobeyed God in the Garden of Eden, and even find greater future service just like us humans. Even 7 x 70 times of forgivness applies to them. The mercy of the Lord endureth forever even for Angels, to all who want it. They can’t be born again, at least the ones that were never born into this world in the first place, but they were created. They originally knew that Jesus Christ was The Only Begotten Son of God, and were already believers and therefore saved, so perhaps saved is not the right word for Angels, but forgiven is. Now I’m not talking about people who were saved here on earth, and then went on after death to become Angels. Angels though saved believers, can go to hell, unlike us saved and born again human believers. Would you like to be an Angel some day? Isn’t God and Jesus and the Holy Spirit, and their love, and mercy good? Praise the Lord!!!

If you want to go to Heaven someday, sincerely pray this simple prayer:

Jesus, I want to know you and to live forever in Heaven, I know I have made mistakes and done bad things- and I am sorry. Please forgive me. I know I don’t deserve it, but I accept your love and I accept you as my Savior. Please come into my heart and life and fill me with your Holy Spirit and give me peace. Amen.
