ANGELS (PART 4)

“Let no man beguile you of your reward in a voluntary humility and worshiping of angels, Intruding into those things which he hath not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind.”(Colossians 2:18).The Lord does not want us to worship angels or pray to them or make statues out of them, or even jewelry representing them, or put our trust in them. It’s the devil’s trip off, and worshiping of idols and anamint objects “And I John saw these things, and heard them. And when I had heard and seen, I fell down to worship `before the feet of the angel which showed me these things. Then saith he unto me, See thou do it not: for I am thy fellow servant, and of thy brethren the prophets, and of them which keep the sayings of this book: worship God.”(Revelations 22:8,9). Apparently some saved people are granted a special angel status after they die and go to Heaven, and are given special assignments and missions from the Lord.“And no marvel for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light, Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.”(II Corinthians 11:14,15).“Know ye not that we shall judge angels? how much more things that pertain to this life?”(II Corinthians 6:3).We will even judge Angels. I am sure that this verse is talking about the fallen angels who follow satan, but could this also be talking about the ones that don’t too? We will see.“For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment;” (II Peter 2:4).”And I beheld, and heard the voice of many angels round about the throne and the beasts and the elders: and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands.”(Revelation 5:11). “Thinkest thou that I cannot now pray to my Father, and he shall presently give me more than twelve legions of angels?” (Matthew 26:53). God has made many Angels. How many? Probably Billions or more, even whole armies of Angels. He even has a chain of command like Micheal and Gabriel who are called ARC ANGELS, they are like commanding Generals over Armies of Angels. Gabriel was sent by the Lord to announce the Birth of John the Baptist, and Jesus Christ, and he was even sent to Daniel the Prophet to give him the powerful revelation of Daniel Chapter 9. The Bible says Gabriel stands in the presence of God.And the angel answering said unto him, I am Gabriel, that stand in the presence of God; and am sent to speak unto thee, and to shew thee these glad tidings.” (Luke 1:19). How big do Angels get? As big as God wants them to be. How many Angels can fit on the head of a pin? As many as God wants. WOW think about that!

Please 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 Savior. Please come into my heart and life and fill me with your Holy Spirit and give me peace. Amen.

ANGELS ( Part 3)

 This message may be too shocking for some. If you think you are even a borderline old  bottle, then I suggest that you skip this lesson and go on to something else. This is a controversial subject. Therefore I am just going to give you the Scriptures and let the chips fall where they may. You can take it or leave it, but here it is.“And it came to pass, when men began to multiple on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them, That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose. There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men , and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which where of old, men of renown.”(Genesis 6:1,2,4).Angels are called Son’s of God. “AGAIN THERE was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves and Satan came also among them to present himself to the Lord.” (Job 2:1).Angels or sons of God were created by God for his purposes. Jesus is the only begotten Son of God. (John 3:16). I guess this answers the question. Do Angels have babies? And is there intimacy in heaven? Even though Jesus said there is no marriage in heaven.” Jesus answered and said unto them, “YE do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God. For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage , but are as the angels of God in heaven.” (Matthew 22:29,30) I can’t imagine Heaven without a bunch of little children running around and playing. If a child dies he grows up to the age of maturity in Heaven and stays that way forever.They do things a lot different up there than we do down here. How are they going to explain this one? Wow, what a mind blowing revelation of truth is this one! “How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation , in the sides of the north: I will ascend above the heights of the clouds: I will be like the most High. Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit. They that see thee shall narrowly look upon thee, and consider thee, saying, Is this the man that made the earth to tremble, that did shake kingdoms;”(Isaiah 14:12-16).“And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven.”(Luke 10:18).

ANGELS (part 2)

“So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cher’-u-bims, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life.” (Genesis 3:24). Cher’-u-bims are powerful, strong,and beautiful angels of God, with huge wings. They are an elite group of Special Forces in God’s army of Angels. “And in the most holy house he made two cher’-u-bims of image work, and overlaid them with gold. And the wings of the cher’-u-bims were twenty cubits long : one wing of the cherub was five cubits, reaching to the wall of the house: and the other wing was likewise five cubits, reaching to the wing of the other cherub. And one wing of the other cherub was five cubits, reaching to the wall of the house: and the other wing was five cubits also, joining to the wing of the other cherub. The wings of the cher’-u-bims spread themselves forth twenty cubits: and they stood on their feet and their faces were inward.”(II Chronicles 3:10-13). Cher’-u-bims represent God’s power and glory. Satan or Lucifer was once a Cher’-u-bim, before he fell, because of his pride. “Son of man, take up a lamentation upon the king of Tyrus, and say unto him, Thus saith the Lord God; Thou sealest up the sum, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty. Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God;every precious stone was thy covering,the sardius, topaz, and the diamond,the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper,the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created.Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire. Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee. By the multitude of thy merchandise they have filled the midst of thee with violence, and thou hast sinned: therefore I will cast thee as profane out of the mountain of God: and I will destroy thee, O covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire.Thine heart was lifted up because of thy beauty, thou hast corrupted thy wisdom by reason of thy brightness: I will cast thee to the ground, I will lay thee before kings, that they may behold thee.Thou hast defiled thy sanctuaries by the multitude of thine iniquities, by the iniquity of thy traffick; therefore will I bring forth a fire from the midst of thee, it shall devour thee, and I will bring thee to ashes upon the earth in the sight of all them that behold thee. All they that know thee among the people shall be astonished at thee: thou shalt be a terror, and never shalt thou be any more.” (Ezekiel 28:12-19). “And it came to pass that night, that the angel of the Lord went out, and smote in the camp of the Assyrians an hundred fourscore and five thousand: and when they arose early in the morning, behold they were all dead corpses.” (II Kings 19:35). Sometimes angels are used by the Lord to bring forth judgment. “Behold, he put no trust in his servants; and his angels he charged with folly.”(Job 4:18). Angels can make mistakes. “The angel of the Lord encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them.”(Psalm 34:7). Angels are guardians of those that fear the Lord. “Let them be as chaff before the wind: and let the angel of the Lord chase them.” (Psalm 35:5). I would rather have a pack of hounds chasing me than the hound of Heaven. “Man did eat angels’ food: he sent them meat to the full.” (Psalm 78: 25). Angels even have special food that they eat. “For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.” (Psalm 91:11). Angels do a lot of things behind the scenes that we don’t even realize or know about to protect us from harm and attacks, from demons, and our own mistakes and sins.“Yea, whiles I was speaking in prayer, even the man Gabriel, whom I had seen in the vision at the beginning, being caused to fly swiftly, touched me about the time of the evening oblation.” (Daniel 9:21).This verse shows us that angels can fly. Angels can travel from one dimension to another, from the spirit world to our dimension that we live in. Gabriel is one of God’s main Arc angels or Generals. God has a chain of command in his angel armies. “And at that time shall Mi’-cha-el stand up,the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book.” (Daniel 12:1).Michael is one of the Lord’s Arc Angels.

ANGELS (part 1)

Let me begin with a personal experience that I had. It was 1980 and Ellen, whom I was married to at the time, and myself, and our baby son James, were on our way back to Houston from a trip to New Mexico. It was in January around midnight. It was very cold and snowy and sleeting. She was driving and I was in the passenger seat of our small Chevy. I was asleep with James sleeping on my chest. All of a sudden Ellen started screaming, Ice! ice! We were on the Guadalupe bridge which was covered in ice and we were spinning around in circles, finally after hitting the side of the bridge the car came to a stop, but this traumatic experience was just beginning. I looked out of my window and saw an eighteen wheel semi truck blaring his horn and slamming on his brakes, and jack knifing and siding towards us. Ellen was frozen at the wheel and couldn’t move for freight. I yelled at her to get out. She said just take James and go which I did. I didn’t want to leave her there but had to make a decision and quick. When I got out of the vehicle with James who was just a baby in my arms there was a man standing on the bridge. He told me to run and said he would get Ellen out, So I ran down the bridge. I was going to jump over the bridge with James in my arms to avoid the crashing I heard behind me, but as I looked over the bridge all I could see below was a raging river, which would have surely drowned us. So I kept on trying to run on the ice with James in my arms. Finally the noise of the crash stopped. I came back to the crash site and Ellen was standing nearby. I looked for the man I had seen, but he was nowhere in sight. He had on a brown skimpy over all type of garment. Shortly when the Highway patrol came, I asked him who that person was, because I wanted to thank him. The officer said there was nobody around the crash site. He even said, it must have been an angel. He was just standing on a frozen, icy bridge in the dead of winter at midnight in the sleeting snow, and could later not be found. I know it was an angel from the Lord sent to save us. Praise the Lord Jesus!

 

Matthew Chapter 7

 

 Judge not, that ye be not judged. For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again. And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother’s eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye? Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye? Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother’s eye.

Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.

Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: for every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened. Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone? 10 Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent?11 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him? 12 Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets.

13 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: 14 because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.

15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. 16 Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? 17 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. 18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neithercan a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. 19 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. 20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.

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. 22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? 23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

24 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: 25 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. 26 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:27 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 CHAPTER 5 “THE BLESSED”

 Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.

Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.

Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.

  Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.

  Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.

Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.

Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness’ sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

 Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.

And seeing the multitudes, he went up into a mountain: and when he was set, his disciples came unto him: and he opened his mouth, and taught them, saying,Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted. Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth. Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled. Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy. Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God. Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God. 10 Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness’ sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 11 Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.12 Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.

13 Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men. 14 Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.15 Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. 16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.

17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. 18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. 19 Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. 20 For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.

21 Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment: 22 but I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire. 23 Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother hath ought against thee; 24 leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift. 25 Agree with thine adversary quickly, whiles thou art in the way with him; lest at any time the adversary deliver thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and thou be cast into prison. 26 Verily I say unto thee, Thou shalt by no means come out thence, till thou hast paid the uttermost farthing.

27 Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery:28 but I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart. 29 And if thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell. 30 And if thy right hand offend thee, cut it off, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell.31 It hath been said, Whosoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement: 32 but I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery.

33 Again, ye have heard that it hath been said by them of old time, Thou shalt not forswear thyself, but shalt perform unto the Lord thine oaths: 34 but I say unto you, Swear not at all; neither by heaven; for it is God’s throne: 35 nor by the earth; for it is his footstool: neither by Jerusalem; for it is the city of the great King. 36 Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, because thou canst not make one hair white or black. 37 But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil.

38 Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth:39 but I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also. 40 And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy coat, let him have thy cloke also. 41 And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain. 42 Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away.

43 Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy. 44 But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;45 that ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.46 For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same? 47 And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so? 48 Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.

REMEMBER THIS MEMORIAL DAY

This Memorial Day let us remember and honor all those who have sacrificed and even given their lives so that we could have the freedoms we have today. Let us also remember and honor the great Christians and fighters in the spirit who have won so many spiritual battles, and many who have sacrificed their lives to bring us the truth we have today in God’s Word. Most of all, let us give thanks and honor to Jesus Christ the greatest freedom fighter of all, who conquered death, sin, hell and the devil, to give us eternal life and freedom! Freedom is not free. The price of freedom is eternal vigilance , we need to be on guard both physically and spiritually. The battle for freedom continues on today .Ever feel like you are under heavy spiritual attack? When things aren’t going right, and you are flanked and surrounded on all sides. The Bible says, ” When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the Lord shall lift up a standard against him.” (Isaiah 59: 19b). We can stand on God’s promises in his Word. (Romans 8:28). If we could see into the future, then we could understand God’s plan and see how he works things out for good, even our mistakes. Jesus always turns things around for good, even though it might seem at times like our ship is sinking. Are you going to be like John Paul Jones? When his ship was taking on water, and getting blown to bits and his arm was seriously wounded. He was asked by the attacking Captain of the British forces” Are you ready to surrender?” He yelled out of the smoke and bombardments, “Hell No! I have not yet begun to fight”, and he went on to win the battle! If you really want to knock the devil for a loop, just start praising the Lord. When the overwhelming enemy’s were surrounding, and there was fear on every side; God’s Prophet Jahaziel, told King Jehoshaphat and the Children of Israel to go out and meet them not with swords and shields, but that they would not need to fight in this battle, but to stand still and see the salvation of the Lord. And they appointed singers to go out and praise the Lord while the enemy’s were attacking, then it goes on to say that the Lord smote their enemy’s. WOW!!! What a way to fight a battle! Read this amazing story for yourself in (Second Chronicles Chapter 20).When Moses raised his arms and hands in praise to the Lord, the Children of Israel would start winning the battle, but when he got tired and lowered his arms they would start loosing the battle. So he had two of his men hold up his arms until the battle was won. It takes faith to raise your arms and hands and praise the Lord in the midst of a battle. Try it and see what God can do. Remember you are in the Lord’s Army. “ Wherefore take unto you the whole Armour of God, that you may be able to stand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: “ ( Ephesians 6: 13-17).“ Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:” ( I Peter 5:8).  The Lord wants to make a fighter out of you. Not a bed of roses ,but of  war is what he promised you ! “The Lord is a man of war: the Lord is his name.” ( Exodus 15:3). Remember freedom can be lost or won in only a generation away, as each generation is taught to respect it and defend it.

DON”T LOOK AT THE WAVES !!!

Why couldn’t there be more Love? That’s just one thing that I could never get enough of. Why couldn’t there be more love? When I was around 16 years old I was driving down the road one day and I heard God speaking to me and He said “if everyone would be like my Son Jesus the world would be a paradise.”

Wow, I pulled over to the side of the road and I was just stuned for a while thinking about that.You know after all the love, and mercy, and goodness that the Lord has shown us,we ought to be the most kindest, loving, sweetest, humble, and forgiving people on the face of the earth. Lord help us. “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.” (Matthew 9:36). Compassion has to start with each of us in our own hearts and it comes from the Lord by asking him to help us to see others as he sees them? “Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not unto thine own understanding.In all thy ways acknowledge him and he shall direct thy paths.” ( Proverbs 3:5,6). If we acknowledge him in ALL our ways we will be walking in the Spirit of the Lord and things will work out much better for us. Just knowing that Jesus is there watching over us and that he will never leave us or forsake us gives such comfort and Faith to make it through the day, and what ever lies in front of us. When we look to Jesus we can walk on the water, but when Peter took his eyes off the Lord and started looking at the waves he began to sink. “And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him, and said unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt? (Matthew 14:31). This verse shows us how quickly Jesus will be there for us when we take our eyes off of him, and start looking at the waves and begin to sink. All we have to do is cry out to him, and he will IMMEDIATELY stretch forth his hand and save us !

SAY THIS PRAYER IF YOU WANT TO BE SAVED

DEAR JESUS CHRIST, PLEASE COME INTO MY HEART. I NOW ACCEPT YOU AS MY SAVIOR, THE ONLY BEGOTTEN SON OF GOD. I BELIEVE THAT YOU DIED ON THE CROSS FOR MY SINS, AND ROSE FROM THE DEAD. PLEASE FORGIVE ME OF ALL MY SINS, AND FILL ME WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT. AMEN

Living For Jesus

1.) Matthew 4:19 “ And he saith unto them,Follow me, and I will make you  fishers of men.”After you find Jesus you will just naturally want to follow him and tell everyone about him.

2.) John 14:6 “Jesus saith unto him, I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” Jesus is the way of Life. Jesus is the Answer, Jesus is the best, the kindest the most loving. Jesus is the King of Kings and Lord of Lords. Jesus is the Son of the Living God! Jesus is what you’ve been looking for all your life. Jesus is the coolest of the cool! Jesus is where it’s at! Jesus is the most high!

3.)Luke 9:23,24 “And he said unto them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me.”

4.) II Corinthians 5:17 “ Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.”

5.) John 8:31,32 “Then said Jesus  to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my Word , then are ye my disciples in deed. And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”

7.) Luke 14:33 “So likewise, whosoever he be of you that forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple.” I have forsaken all my material goods before, and then I found out that doing that was just the beginning. Forsaking all is a daily process, and it is about giving up your own wants and desires and putting Jesus first in your heart and life. Beloved you will never truly forsake all until your life is over. Paul said “I die Daily.”( I Corinthians 15:31b).

8.) Matthew 13: 45,46 “ Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a merchant man, seeking goodly pearls:Who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had, and bought it.”

9.) John 15: 16 “ Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.”

10.).John 4:35 “ Say not ye, There are yet four months, and then cometh harvest? Behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest.”

11.) Colossians 2: 6-8 “ As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him: Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving. Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.” The Bible says, That we should beware. There are all kinds of false doctrines, and false cults, and groups, out there just waiting to gobble you up! So stay in the word daily!

12.) Matthew 9: 36-38 “But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with compassion on 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 labourers are few; Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest that he will send forth labourers into his harvest.”
