Worshipping God In The Spirit

PRAISE JESUS !!!Jesus said,”God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.”(John 4:24).”It is the  Spirit that quickeneth the flesh profiteteth nothing,the words that I speak unto you they are Spirit and they are life. “(John 6:63). How do we worship God in Spirit and in truth? Well,one way is to have a clean heart.King David prayed,”Create in me a clean heart,0 God; and renew a right spirit within me. Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy Holy Spirit from me. Restore unto me the joy of my salvation; and uphold me with thy free spirit.”(Psalm 51:10-12). Just pray; Dear Jesus, Give me a clean heart with you. I claim your precious blood to wash away all my sins. Amen. “The blood of Jesus Christ cleanses us from all our sins.”(I John 1:7b).We must be sincere from our hearts when we worship the Lord and not do it for a show for man.There needs  to be sometimes when we can get alone with the Lord and pray and sing songs to him and raise our hands in praise to him. You could even put some good Christian music on and sing unto the Lord.Your spirit longs for that special time of worship to the Lord. And the Lord longs for that special time too. Remember if you really want to knock the devil for a loop, just start praising the Lord !!! Did you know that when we love the Lord and do good  that we can make the Lord himself so happy that he will actually  start singing.” The Lord thy God in the midst of thee is mighty; he will save, he will rejoice over thee with joy; he will rest in his love, he will joy over thee with singing.” (Zephaniah 3:17).

”Say this prayer if you want 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.

John 15

I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman. Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit. Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you. Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me. I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing. If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned. If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you. Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples. As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love. If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father’s commandments, and abide in his love. These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full. This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you. Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you. Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you.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.These things I command you, that ye love one another. If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you. If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you. Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also. But all these things will they do unto you for my name’s sake, because they know not him that sent me.If I had not come and spoken unto them, they had not had sin: but now they have no cloak for their sin. He that hateth me hateth my Father also. If I had not done among them the works which none other man did, they had not had sin: but now have they both seen and hated both me and my Father. But this cometh to pass, that the word might be fulfilled that is written in their law, They hated me without a cause. But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me: And ye also shall bear witness, because ye have been with me from the beginning.

 

HOW LONG FROM THE RAPTURE UNTIL THE THOUSAND YEAR REIGN OF CHRIST STARTS?

Why are some saved Christians not looking forward to being in Heaven and seeing Jesus? The Bible says,“For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.” (II Corinthians 5:10 ). “And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt. And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever.” ( Daniel 12:2&3). Now we know from the scriptures that from the time, of the Rapture, until Jesus takes over the world to rule it for 1,000 years that there will only be a time period of 75 days. See our class on Daniel Chapter 12. How could he possibly have time to see and judge all the saved Christians? There must be Billions. Perhaps the ones who have already gone on to Heaven have already appeared before Jesus Christ, and that would only leave the millions or billions going up in the Rapture, but there still wouldn’t be enough time to see everyone individually during those 75 days. Right? Remember we’ve got to have the Marriage Supper of the Lamb  and the six Vials of God’s Wrath poured out upon the earth, and the Seventh Vial which is the Battle of Armageddon during this 75 day time.Well, with God nothing shall be impossible, and remember in the spirit and for the saved, time shall be no more. Maybe it will happen somehow in the spirit where we are not bound by time. Or maybe we will all appear before Jesus and he will pass out the crowns and rewards all during the Marriage supper at a mass gathering, or maybe for some it will happen during the Millenium. I kind of think that this is the way it will be.What do you think? Well it’s interesting to think about. Isn’t it? It makes you want to get right with God and serve the Lord, and win souls, and do like Jesus said; lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, and not on the earth, where thieves break through and steal, and where moth and rust corrupts. (Matthew 6:19,20). Remember Salvation is a free gift for the asking, but your Heavenly rewards, you have to work for. There is no greater reward than seeing Jesus and hearing him say to you, ” Well done, thou good and faithful servant: enter thou into the JOY of thy Lord.” ( Matthew 25:21), and also seeing the souls that you personally won or helped win to Jesus, in heaven forever.

Say this prayer if you want 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.

GOD CAN DO ANYTHING BUT FAIL

The difficult he does immediately. The impossible may or may not take a little longer. God can do anything, anything, anything, God can do anything but fail, He can save, he can heal, just believe and he will.God can do anything but fail ! So never give up, never take no for an answer, unless the Lord says no. Where there is a will there is a way, and there is nothing too hard for Jesus if you will just give him a chance. We know Lord that you can do it, and we know that you will do it if we just believe and trust in you! You will always make a way if we do it your way, if we believe and trust in you. You always turn things around for good Lord. You always are there for us to get us out of the many jams we get ourselves into. Help us not to limit you Lord, the Holy One of Israel. Just step out on the water, and keep your eyes upon Jesus and you wont start to sink beneath the waves, and if you do happen to take your eyes off of Jesus for a little while, and start to sink, just cry out to him and he will immediately stretch out his hand to save you.“All things work together for good to them that love the Lord.” (Romans 8:28). If we do all we can do, God will do the rest that we cannot do. God is an expert at the impossible.“For with God nothing shall be impossible.”(Luke 1:37). “All things are possible to those that believe.” (Mark 9:23). Got any Rivers, or Oceans you think are impassible? Got any mountains you think you can’t get over? Our God is an awesome God, and he can do what no other friend can do! God is on the Throne and prayer changes things. In Jesus Name!

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.

The Best Job in the World

 

The best, most rewarding, most fulfilling, most important, most fun, and the most exciting job in the world is Preaching the Gospel! God expects everyone that is saved to preach the Gospel. You can be a missionary no matter what else you are doing. Whether you are working your job, or a student, or in the military, or whatever you are doing, if you just remember that your main job is to be a witness and help others to know Jesus! A Missionary is someone who is on a mission. You are either a Missionary or a mission field. Which are you? It’s like the Lady said when someone asked her how her day went? She said well today I witnessed to many people about Jesus and helped the poor and sick and needy. Her friend said, how did you do all that? You were here cleaning this house all day. She replied because I prayed for and helped the Missionaries by sending a love gift to them to help in their work for the Lord so that makes me a part of what they are doing, and I get to share in their rewards. Missionaries are on the top of Gods list. People you win or help win to the Lord will be your friends and grateful brothers and sisters forever. Lay up treasures in Heaven by obeying the great commission “Go ye into all the world and preach the Gospel to every creature” (Mark 16:15) You can obey this great commandment by helping others who are on the mission field if you can’t personally be there yourself, and by praying for them. Please pray for our ministry, we are trying to reach China and India with the good news of the Gospel while we can, because this door maybe closing soon. Jesus said: “I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work.” (John 9:4) 

Say this prayer if you want 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. 

GODS SPECIAL NUMBER SEVEN (Texts Only)

The Book of Revelation contains a number of Sevens. There are Seven Letters to the Seven Churches found in Chapters 1-3. There are seven Seals and Seven Trumpets found in Chapters 4-11. There are Seven Vials found in Chapters 15 & 16.There are Seven Candle Sticks found in Revelation Chapter 1: 12 &20. There are Seven Stars in Revelation Chapter 1:16 & 20. There are Seven Angels in Revelation 1:20. There are Seven Spirits in Chapter 1:4. There is a Lamb with Seven Horns, and Seven Eyes in Chapter 5:6. There are Seven Lamps in Chapter 4:5. There are Seven Thunders in Chapter 10:3 &4. There is a Red Dragon with Seven Heads and Seven Crowns in Chapter 12:1. There is a Leopard like beast with Seven Heads in Chapter 13:1. There is a Scarlet Colored Beast with Seven heads in Chapter 17:3. There are Seven Mountains in Chapter 17:9. There are Seven Kings in Chapter 17:10. There are Seven blessed in the Book of Revelation. Blessed is he who reads this prophecy, Chapter 1:3. Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord Chapter 14:3. Blessed is he that watches ( for the coming of Jesus) Chapter 16:15. Blessed are those bidden to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb Chapter 19:9. Blessed is he that hath part in the first resurrection, Chapter 20:6. Blessed is he that keeps the Words of this Book, Chapter 22:7. Blessed are they that do his commandments, in Chapter 22:14.

The number Seven is found many times throughout the Bible. The Sabbath was the Seventh Day. The Levitical system of the Old Testament was built on a cycle of Sevens. The Sabatic year was every Seventh Year. Jericho fell after Seven Priests, with Seven Trumpets, for Seven Days, marched around it’s walls and blew their Trumpets Seven times on the Seventh Day. Naaman dipped in the Jordan River Seven times, the Bible begins with Seven Days of Creation and ends with the Book of Sevens about the ultimate destiny of Creation. Seven is a favorite number of God in his Word. There are Seven Days in a Week. Seven notes in Music. Seven Colors in the Rainbow. In Daniel Chapter 9 there are 70 weeks of Seven Year time periods, or 7X70= 490 years. The Last Seven Years will start when the anti- christ confirms the Covenant.( See the class on Daniel Chapter 9). Since God uses the number Seven so often it must have some special significance. The number Seven stands for Completeness, Fullness, and Totality. One of the most important of all the Seven’s in the Bible is when Jesus said to forgive others Seven times Seventy. ( Matthew 18:21,22)

WOW does this lesson blow your mind or what? Can you find more Sevens in the Bible?

WHAT IS THAT TO THEE ? (video & text)

“If I will that he tarry till I come, what is that to thee? Follow thou me.” (John 21:22 ) These are the words that Jesus spoke to his disciples concerning John who is called the beloved, or the disciple whom Jesus loved (John 21:20). John was the longest living disciple. The Romans tried to boil him in a vat of hot boiling oil, but he wouldn’t boil, because the Lord had another special task for him to do. So the Romans whisked him off to a prison on the island of Patmos, thinking they could keep him silenced and that he couldn’t do much harm and spread the Word, but he got the Book of Revelation there which has gone on to witness to countless numbers of souls ever since 90 A.D.  The point is, concentrate on your own personal relationship with Jesus and follow him. It doesn’t matter what other people think, we need to be concerned about what Jesus thinks. “Not with eye service, as man pleasers; but as the servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart;” ( Ephesians 6:6).The very fact that you are still alive proves that God is not finished with you yet, here on this earth. He has a special calling and job for you to fulfill in your life, and someday soon we will all see Jesus, and that will make it worth it all.

 

Say this prayer if you want 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.

ARE YOU WANTING OR ARE YOU CONTENT?

 Are we supposed to want something? The Prophet Daniel and his fellows saw a hand writing on the wall, which you can read about in Daniel Chapter 5. The hand wrote ME’-NE, ME’-NE, TE’-KEL, U-PHARSIN, on the wall, which­­­­ means “ You are weighed in the balances and are found wanting.”  “And having food and raiment let us be therewith content. But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition. For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows. But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness. Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses.” ( 1 Timothy 6:8-12). “Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.” ( Hebrews 13:5). It seems that the heart of man can never be satisfied. We will always want more and more. As soon as we get what we want we want something else, or more, or better. This is the opposite of what the Bible teaches us. In fact the Scripture says; “ Let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.” ( James 1:4). “ Mark the perfect man, and behold the up right: for the end of that man is peace.” ( Psalm 37:37). If we delight ourselves in the Lord, he will give us the desires of our heart. ( Psalm 37:4). This verse shows us that we should just want more and more of Jesus, and his Love, and his Word, and the Holy Spirit! Amen?King David was a man after God’s own heart. Are you? ( Acts 13:22). “ Whom have I in Heaven but thee? And there is none upon earth that I desire beside thee.” ( Psalm 73:25). Beloved if we desire contentment we need to ask the Lord to help us follow these verses. “ But seek ye first the Kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.” (Matthew 6:33). Of course if we just want more of Jesus, then we will also want everyone to know him too!
