PRAY TO JESUS

Posted on by

I just can’t do the subject justice. When I think about all my life as I was taught to pray to God our Heavenly Father, and sometime at the end of my prayer I would throw in Jesus Name. I think the Lord had mercy on me because I would at least say In Jesus Name at the end of my Prayers most of the time. The churches for the most part have had a lot of things wrong for so long that it is pitiful. I just recently had received this revelation from the Lord, and it has really changed my life, and way of praying and thinking and I have gotten a lot closer to Jesus by his love and grace and mercy. How can you go wrong praying to Jesus? After all Jesus himself said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” (John 14:6) “I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.” (John 10:9) “Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession. For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.” (Hebrews 4:14-16) These are Gods conditions the way he wants our prayers to be. I hear so many Preachers say “Father God” and then go on with their prayer so self-righteously as if they could just bypass Jesus Christ and go straight to God. Who are we to do such a thing? “All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned everyone to his own way; and the Lord hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.” (Isaiah 53:6) “But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away. And there is none that calleth upon thy name, that stirreth up himself to take hold of thee:” (Isaiah 64:6-7a) “For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God.” (Romans 3:23) ” Behold, he putteth no trust in his saints; yea, the heavens are not clean in his sight.” (Job 15;15) If you have prayed and accepted Jesus Christ into your heart as your Saviour, then you are born again. SEE: (John 3:1-8) John 1:12 says, “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:” ” 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) So that means Jesus Christ is living in you. “And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father.” (Galatians 4:6) “Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence?” (Psalms 139:7) So you can pray straight to him, he hears all you say and think so talk to him and he will talk back to you. It is presumptuous to pray straight to God our Heavenly Father. This means you are presuming you are worthy to go straight to God. Beloved the Lord God Almighty, The Heavenly Father only honors and hears prayers that go thru his Only Begotten Son Jesus Christ, our Lord and Saviour, and King of Kings and our High Priest. So, try it, Pray to Jesus Christ. You will be closer to him and God our Heavenly Father, and to Jesus his Only Begotten Son, and the Holy Spirit, The Trinity. Praying to Jesus is Praying to God our Heavenly Father, because your prayers go straight to him and Jesus, and the Holy Spirit also, at the same time to our Heavenly Parents, SEE our classes on the Holy Spirit for another eye-opening, shocking, and amazing truth found in www.answersintheword.com. Jesus said: “I and my Father are one.” (John 10:30) “Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father?” (John 14:9) Jesus Christ is the ultimate manifestation of God and his LOVE. Many Christians today won’t be able to accept this truth because it would mean they have been wrong and taught wrong to pray straight to the Father, and their pride is offended. Some of the hardest words in any language is “I was wrong”. I even tried to share this truth to my son-in-law in Love and he spoke. “I don’t need you or your web site, but later gave a weak apology, and said he was sorry if he had said anything wrong. He said his mom told him that this was the craziest thing she ever heard. “Am I therefore become your enemy because I tell you the truth?”(Galatians 4:16) He also said he has the Spirit and does not need any teaching. Beloved you have to rightly divide the Word of truth there are so many scripture verses on teaching. “And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also.” (2 Timothy 2:2) “All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:” (2 Timothy 3:16) “preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.” (2 Timothy 4:2) Jesus taught his disciples many things, and he said for us to follow him, and do as I do. “Jesus saith to Simon Peter, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me more than these? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my lambs. He saith to him again the second time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my sheep. He saith unto him the third time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? Peter was grieved because he said unto him the third time, Lovest thou me? And he said unto him, Lord, thou knowest all things; thou knowest that I love thee. Jesus saith unto him, Feed my sheep.” (John 21:15b-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 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 Does Jesus Want Us to Treat Other People? (Part 2)

 “Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.” (Philippians 4:8). “If there be therefore any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any bowels and mercies, fulfil ye my joy, that ye be like minded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind. Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves. Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others. Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: but made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: and being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.” (Philippians 2:1-11). “Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren. But whoso hath this world’s good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him?”(1 John 3:16-17). Remember John 3:16 was God’s part, and 1John 3:16 is our part. “submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God. Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body. Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing. Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; that he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, that he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish. So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself. For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church: For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones. For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh. This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church. Nevertheless let every one of you in particular so love his wife even as himself; and the wife see that she reverence her husband.”(Ephesians 5:21-33).

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

“This is my commandment that ye love one another.”(John.15:17) If you have a hard time loving people, just ask Jesus to help you see them as he sees them, and loves them in spite of themselves and their faults and sins. We need to love the sinner not the sins. All love comes from God. We just don’t have it in ourselves. So ask Jesus to give you his Super Natural Love to help you love others, and he will by faith. “Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.” (1 John 4:7-8). “Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.” (Matthew 22:37-39).“and be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ’s sake hath forgiven you.”(Ephesians 4:32). Remember the way we love others is the way we will receive love from God the Father and Jesus his Son and the Holy Spirit. “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; 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. For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same? And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so? Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.” (Matthew 5:44-48). “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.” (Matthew 7:1-5). “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.” (Matthew 7:12). “to speak evil of no man, to be no brawlers, but gentle, shewing all meekness unto all men.”(Titus 3:2). “And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient, in meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God pre adventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth;” (2 Timothy 2:24-25)

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

WHAT ARE YOU LIVING FOR?

Posted on by

Power, Fame, and Fortune, these are what most people want in life, and for some people just to survive another day. Many get up in the morning just to seek Power, Fame and Fortune. The devil has so deceived them, that they think they don’t have time to pray, and have a little devotions to help them through the day. It reminds me of this true Poem:


I got up early one morning

and rushed right into the day.

I had so much to accomplish,

I didn’t have time to pray.

Problems just tumbled about me,

and heavier grew each task.

I wonder why God didn’t help me.

He said, “my child 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.


“By humility and the fear of the Lord
 are riches, and honour, and life.” (Proverbs 22:4).

“This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.”(Joshua 1:8). In other words if you want the Lord to bless you with good success, then dive into his word day and night.

“How can ye believe, which receive honour one of another, and seek not the honour that cometh from God only?”(John 5:44).

PLEASE SAY THIS PRAYER TO BE SAVED:

Dear 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 believe you are the Only Begotten Son of God, and you died on the cross for my sins and rose from the dead. 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.

MIRACLES

Posted on by

We live in the Fifth Dimension a very nice place to be, in The Land of Miracles, and we live the Life of Miracles. Every day we ask Jesus to do Miracles and he does. He never fails. “For with God nothing shall be impossible.” (Luke 1:37). Jesus did many miracles proving he was The Son of God, The Christ, The Messiah. He gave sight to the blind. Jesus Healed all that came unto him. So, what does “He healed them all” really mean? It means literally that no sick or disabled person remained unhealed that came to him wanting to be healed. He fed the multitudes with a few fishes and loaves of bread. Jesus Christ our Savior even raised the dead. Jesus spoke; “Said I not unto thee, that, if thou wouldest believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God? Then they took away the stone from the place where the dead was laid. And Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said, Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me. And I knew that thou hearest me always: but because of the people which stand by I said it, that they may believe that thou hast sent me. And when he thus had spoken, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth. And he that was dead came forth, bound hand and foot with graveclothes: and his face was bound about with a napkin. Jesus saith unto them, Loose him, and let him go.” (John 11:40b-44). Jesus Christ even rose from the dead after he was crucified for our sins 3 days later like he said he would. Lord help us to write these miracles down that he does for us, like they did in the Bible, lest we forget. How Many miracles in our lives’ and in the lives of others whom we pray for. Have faith for Miracles. Look for them. The Gospels in the New Testament record 42 miracles Jesus performed during His short time of ministry. However He performed many more. The apostle John writes, Jesus did many more things. “And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which, if they should be written every one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written. Amen.” (John 21:25). Get more faith by getting into The Word. “So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.” (Romans 10:17). What miracles will he do today? “And he did not many mighty works there because of their unbelief.” (Matthew 13:58). Jesus said; “And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive.” (Matthew 21:22).

PLEASE SAY THIS PRAYER TO BE SAVED:

Dear 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 believe you are the Only Begotten Son of God, and you died on the cross for my sins and rose from the dead. 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.

“I LOVE THEM THAT LOVE ME”

Posted on by

“I love them that love me; and those that seek me early shall find me.” (Proverbs 8:17). Jesus doesn’t force himself on anyone or force any one to love him or search for the truth. “Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.” (Matthew 11:28-29). “And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.” (Revelation 22:17). Jesus said, “He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.” (John 14:21). This is the kind of people Jesus wants to be around him in his Kingdom and fellowship with him. Not people who are forced. The kind of disciples Jesus is looking for are those who won’t leave him when the going gets rough. “And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me. For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: but whosoever will lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it.” (Luke 9:23-24). “But Jesus said unto them, A prophet is not without honor, but in his own country, and among his own kin, and in his own house” (Mark 6:4). “Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right. Honour thy father and mother; (which is the first commandment with promise;) that it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live long on the earth. (Ephesians 6:1-3). You know I am kind of like the Lord in that way. If people don’t want the truth and don’t want to be around me, I just hope the best for them because I am busy trying to reach the lost and unreached. I know it hurts you when they don’t come around but put them in the Lord’s hands and pray often for them and have faith that Jesus will work in their life. So, stay busy serving the Lord it will help with the pain, “He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not.” (Isaiah 53:3). “Jesus wept.” (John 11:35). And remember to comfort the feeble minded. “And a man’s foes shall be they of his own household. He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me.” (Matthew 10:36-38). “And everyone that hath forsaken houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name’s sake, shall receive an hundredfold, and shall inherit everlasting life.” (Matthew 19:29). “For whosoever shall do the will of God, the same is my brother, and my sister, and mother.” (Mark 3:35).”For I say unto you, Ye shall not see me henceforth, till ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord” (Matthew 23:39).

PLEASE SAY THIS PRAYER TO BE SAVED:

Dear 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 believe you are the Only Begotten Son of God, and you died on the cross for my sins and rose from the dead. 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.

DO YOU WANT INNER PEACE?

Posted on by

“But the wicked are like the troubled sea, when it cannot rest,whose waters cast up mire and dirt. There is no peace, saith my God, to the wicked.”(Isaiah 57:20-21). “As for my people, children are their oppressors,and women rule over them. O my people, they which lead thee cause thee to err, and destroy the way of thy paths.”(Isaiah 3:12). A wicked people get wicked rulers. Evil triumphs when good people do nothing. Better to stand for something righteous and good than to die for nothing. All the things of this life will surely pass only what is done for Christ shall last. “For I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand. I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing.”(2 Timothy 4:6-8). “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). It gives you a good feeling when pay day comes and you know you can expect a big check, Right? How big do you expect your pay day from God is going to be? You know you are writing your own pay check everyday. “For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.”(Romans 8:38-39). “Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:”(Matthew 6:19-20). Being square and right with God is where peace is to be found. “Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.”(John 14:27). In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.”(John 14:2-3). “And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.” (Philippians 4:7). “Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee. (Isaiah 26:3). Let Jesus calm the troubled storm in your hearts. Take all your problems and cares to Jesus. “casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.”(1 Peter 5:7). “Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”(Matthew 11:28-30). Beloved we can only find peace thru the Prince of Peace Jesus Christ The Only Begotten Son of God!

PLEASE SAY THIS PRAYER TO BE SAVED:

Dear 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 believe you are the Only Begotten Son of God, and you died on the cross for my sins and rose from the dead. 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.

THE FULL COUNSEL OF GOD

Posted on by

“For I have not shunned to declare unto you all the counsel of God.”(Acts 20:27).

In www.answersintheword.com you can discover the full truths of God, not just Salvation every week. Salvation is a wonderful message and surely the most important but the Lord wants you to grow Spiritually after you are born again and not just remain a babe in the Lord for the rest of your life here on earth. The Bible stands for Basic Instruction Before Leaving Earth. You will certainly get the Basics and the deep things of God in www.answersintheword.com . You can’t survive spiritually or grow in the Lord by living off of a few teaspoons of the same type of food every Sunday morning. Can you imagine going into a Church and the Ushers pass out to you and all the other people a blank program instead of a pre-written and pre-planned and timed outline of exactly what the service will be. What if the preacher said today we are going to let the Lord lead us in our service, and see what he has for us today. Wouldn’t that be a shocking surprise? “When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.”(1 Corinthians 13:11).

“as newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby:”(1Peter 2:2). All babies start out with milk before they start eating meat and steak. So it is Spiritually. After you get Salvation down good which is your foundation, it is time to go on to the next level. Which would be learning about the Holy Spirit, then Prayer and Living for Jesus, and then Witnessing, Bible Knowledge, Faith and Healing, and then Bible Prophecy. Beloved this is the full counsel of God. All of these subjects are covered in great depth for your faith building inspiration and encouragement. Some of these topics cover extreme radical teachings which many find hard to swallow and even offensive. However we believe that the Lord in these End Times wants us to get out the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. We are not trying to raise a bunch of money or get a big following or build expensive Church Buildings. We are just trying to reach the unreached. So we really don’t care if people like us and what we teach or not. We are first and foremost concerned about what the Lord thinks , and not the opinions of men. So there you have it. We hope you can handle it and receive it? So buckle up tight and hang on tight to Jesus, because his rocket ship is taking off to places you never dreamed existed !

PLEASE SAY THIS PRAYER TO BE SAVED:

Dear 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 believe you are the Only Begotten Son of God, and you died on the cross for my sins and rose from the dead. 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.

THE HOUSE OF THE LORD

“Thus saith the Lord The heaven is my throne, and the earth is my foot stool: where is the house that ye build unto me? and where is the place of my rest?” (Isaiah 66:1).

“Howbeit the most High dwelleth not in temples made with hands; as saith the prophet,”(Acts 7:48).

“The word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord, saying, stand in the gate of the Lord’s house, and proclaim there this word, and say, Hear the word of the Lord, all ye of Judah, that enter in at these gates to worship the Lord. Thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, Amend your ways and your doings, and I will cause you to dwell in this place. Trust ye not in lying words, saying, The temple of the Lord. The temple of the Lord. The temple of the Lord are these. For if ye throughly amend your ways and your doings; if ye throughly execute judgment between a man and his neighbour; if ye oppress not the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow, and shed not innocent blood in this place, neither walk after other gods to your hurt: then will I cause you to dwell in this place, in the land that I gave to your fathers, for ever and ever. Behold, ye trust in lying words, that cannot profit. Will ye steal, murder, and commit adultery, and swear falsely, and burn incense unto Baal, and walk after other gods whom ye know not; and come and stand before me in this house, which is called by my name, and say, We are delivered to do all these abominations? Is this house, which is called by my name, become a den of robbers in your eyes? Behold, even I have seen it, saith the Lord. But go ye now unto my place which was in Shiloh, where I set my name at the first, and see what I did to it for the wickedness of my people Israel. And now, because ye have done all these works, saith the Lord and I spake unto you, rising up early and speaking, but ye heard not; and I called you, but ye answered not; therefore will I do unto this house, which is called by my name, wherein ye trust, and unto the place which I gave to you and to your fathers, as I have done to Shiloh. And I will cast you out of my sight, as I have cast out all your brethren, even the whole seed of Ephraim. Therefore pray not thou for this people, neither lift up cry nor prayer for them, neither make intercession to me: for I will not hear thee.” (Jeremiah 7:1-16).

There was a time in The Old Testamate when God’s glory called the “Shekinal Glory” came to rest around the Ark of the Covenant in the Holy of Holies in Soloman’s Temple before Jesus Christ came. “ And it came to pass, when the priests were come out of the holy place, that the cloud filled the house of the Lord, so that the priests could not stand to minister because of the cloud: for the glory of the Lord had filled the house of the Lord.”(1Kings 8:10-11). Have you ever experienced the Shekinal Glory? You can if you seek the Lord with all your heart. “Then shall ye call upon me, and ye shall go and pray unto me, and I will hearken unto you. And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart. (Jeremiah 29:12-13). “Now when Solomon had made an end of praying, the fire came down from heaven, and consumed the burnt offering and the sacrifices; and the glory of the Lord filled the house. And the priests could not enter into the house of the Lord, because the glory of the Lord had filled the Lord’s house. And when all the children of Israel saw how the fire came down, and the glory of the Lord upon the house, they bowed themselves with their faces to the ground upon the pavement, and worshipped, and praised the Lord saying, For he is good; for his mercy endureth for ever.”(2 Chronicles 7:1-3).

“What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s.”(1 Corinthians 6:19-20). “not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.” (Hebrews 10:25). “And Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the money changers, and the seats of them that sold doves, and said unto them, It is written, My house shall be called the house of prayer; but ye have made it a den of thieves.”(Matthew 21:12-13). The word Church means ,The Called Out People, not a building.“For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.” (Matthew 18:20).Beloved we all need to listen to these words from the Lord and amend our ways. Just ask him to show you in prayer and listen to His still small voice. The Lord will show each of us personally in what ways we need to amend. May we always remember that the building is for a meeting place and keep it in the right perspective for we are Jesus’s Church and not the building. It is a blessing to have a nice functional place to go to meet and Fellowship and Pray, and learn God’s Word, but we don’t worship the building, only Jesus and thereby we enter into God’s Presence and the Presence of the Holy Ghost. “And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting. And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.”(Acts 2:1-4).

PLEASE SAY THIS PRAYER TO BE SAVED:

Dear 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 believe you are the Only Begotten Son of God, and you died on the cross for my sins and rose from the dead. 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.
