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.

HOW TO ENJOY LIFE TO THE FULLEST

No one can ever totally enjoy life to the full without knowing your Creator,the Creator of all things. He made you to love and enjoy his creation and to help others to do the same. God is love,and if you love him and have his love in your heart,then you can truly enjoy life to the full. Always be thankful for all of your blessings and you won’t have time to be disheartened and complain. We as believers in Jesus Christ have more to be happy about than anybody on the face of the earth! Ask Jesus to fill your heart with his love.”We love him because he first loved us.” (I John 4:19) Jesus said,”These things have I spoken unto you,that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full.”(John 15:11 ). “Neither be ye sorry, for the Joy of the Lord is your strength.”(Nehemiah 8:10).God sent Jesus to show us his love for the world.”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.” (John 3:16). 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 thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free spirit.”(Psalm 51:10-12).Will you also pray this prayer? The Bible says, King David was”a man after Gods own heart.”Don’t let the enemy,or anyone, or any thing steal your joy. May we always be known by our love and our joy.

The best way to spell joy is Jesus, Others, and You!

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. 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.

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.
