JESUS IS THE MESSIAH

Posted on by

“Messiah means the Anointed One” in Hebrew. Jesus was anointed by God, and the Holy Spirit came upon him in the form of a Dove. This happened in 26 A.D. When John The Baptist baptized Jesus. “The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world. This is he of whom I said, After me cometh a man which is preferred before me: for he was before me. And I knew him not: but that he should be made manifest to Israel, therefore am I come baptizing with water. And John bare record, saying, I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and it abode upon him. And I knew him not: but he that sent me to baptize with water, the same said unto me, Upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending, and remaining on him, the same is he which baptizeth with the Holy Ghost. And I saw, and bare record that this is the Son of God.” (John 1:29-34). You can read more about this amazing prophecy in detail in our class on Daniel Chapter 9, in www.answersintheword.com

The unsaved Jews are still looking for the Messiah to come. That is why they must rebuild the Temple for the third time, and re-instate their daily sacrifices for atonement for sins. They will never find their Messiah until they receive Jesus Christ as their Saviour ! The Anti-Christ will come soon and proclaim himself as their Messiah and will even have a false Prophet who works miracles who will deceive the people that have not received Jesus Christ The Only Begotten Son of God as their Saviour and Messiah. Jesus was anointed as Isaiah the Prophet predicted, “The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me; because the Lord hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the broken hearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound; to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn; to appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, that he might be glorified.” (Isaiah 61:1-3). Jesus was the only one to die for our sins and raise from the dead. ”And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God;” (Revelation 3:14) Jesus was predestinated in God’s plan before the foundation of the world, in fact Jesus was the first, of God’s creation and he was there with God and the Holy Spirit (The Trinity) when the world and Adam and Eve were created, in fact he even created them with his heavenly Father and the Holy Spirit. “And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.” (Genesis 1:26). “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. In him was life; and the life was the light of men. And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not. There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe. He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light. That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world. He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not. He came unto his own, and his own received him not. 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: which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.” (John 1:1-14).

ARE YOU A REAL JEW?

Posted on by

“For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh: but he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God.” (Romans 2:28-29)

“And if ye be Christ’s, then are ye Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.” (Galatians 3:29).

If you believe and receive Jesus Christ into your heart as your Saviour, then you are a completed Jew. Most of the Christian Church World has been deceived into thinking that the Jews have some kind of special place and grace in God’s heart and plan just because they are physical Jews in the flesh, when they really don’t , unless they receive Jesus Christ! All the promises and Blessings are only for those Jews and every other nationality that receives Jesus Christ The Only Begotten Son of God as their Saviour, and Lord, and King.

Jesus said; “He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.” (John 3:36). This prophesy from Jesus has been fulfilled ever since the Romans destroyed the Temple in Jerusalem and crucified around a million Jews in 70 A.D. Up to modern times, including the soon coming 7 Vials of the Wrath of God. SEE: Our classes on Revelation Chapters 16-19 in www.answesintheword.com.

In fact Jesus told the Jews “Jesus saith unto them, Did ye never read in the scriptures, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner: this is the Lord’s doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes? Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof. And whosoever shall fall on this stone shall be broken: but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder. And when the chief priests and Pharisees had heard his parables, they perceived that he spake of them.” (Matthew 21:42-45)

Jesus also told the Jews; ”Jesus saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, That the publicans and the harlots go into the kingdom of God before you.” (Matthew 21:31)

So if you want to be a real spiritual Jew and receive all the blessings and promises that the Lord has given in the Bible to his children just simply say this prayer below.

THIS IS THE WAY TO FIGHT YOUR BATTLES

Posted on by

Got any rivers you think are uncross able, got any mountains you can’t tunnel through ? God specializes in things that are impossible, and he can do what no other one can do !

2 Chronicles 20:1-29 Authorized (King James) Version (AKJV)

20 It came to pass after this also, that the children of Moab, and the children of Ammon, and with them other beside the Ammonites, came against Jehoshaphat to battle. 2 Then there came some that told Jehoshaphat, saying, There cometh a great multitude against thee from beyond the sea on this side Syria; and, behold, they be in Hazazon-tamar, which is En-gedi. 3 And Jehoshaphat feared, and set himself to seek the Lord, and proclaimed a fast throughout all Judah. 4 And Judah gathered themselves together, to ask help of the Lord: even out of all the cities of Judah they came to seek the Lord.

5 And Jehoshaphat stood in the congregation of Judah and Jerusalem, in the house of the Lord, before the new court, 6 and said, O Lord God of our fathers, art not thou God in heaven? and rulest not thou over all the kingdoms of the heathen? and in thine hand is there not power and might, so that none is able to withstand thee? 7 Art not thou our God, who didst drive out the inhabitants of this land before thy people Israel, and gavest it to the seed of Abraham thy friend for ever? 8 And they dwelt therein, and have built thee a sanctuary therein for thy name, saying, 9 If, when evil cometh upon us, as the sword, judgment, or pestilence, or famine, we stand before this house, and in thy presence, (for thy name is in this house,) and cry unto thee in our affliction, then thou wilt hear and help. 10 And now, behold, the children of Ammon and Moab and mount Seir, whom thou wouldest not let Israel invade, when they came out of the land of Egypt, but they turned from them, and destroyed them not; 11 behold, I say, how they reward us, to come to cast us out of thy possession, which thou hast given us to inherit. 12 O our God, wilt thou not judge them? for we have no might against this great company that cometh against us; neither know we what to do: but our eyes are upon thee. 13 And all Judah stood before the Lord, with their little ones, their wives, and their children.

14 Then upon Jahaziel the son of Zechariah, the son of Benaiah, the son of Jeiel, the son of Mattaniah, a Levite of the sons of Asaph, came the Spirit of the Lord in the midst of the congregation; 15 and he said, Hearken ye, all Judah, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem, and thou king Jehoshaphat, Thus saith the Lord unto you, Be not afraid nor dismayed by reason of this great multitude; for the battle is not yours, but God’s. 16 To morrow go ye down against them: behold, they come up by the cliff of Ziz; and ye shall find them at the end of the brook, before the wilderness of Jeruel. 17 Ye shall not need to fight in this battle: set yourselves, stand ye still, and see the salvation of the Lord with you, O Judah and Jerusalem: fear not, nor be dismayed; to morrow go out against them: for the Lord will be with you. 18 And Jehoshaphat bowed his head with his face to the ground: and all Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem fell before the Lord, worshipping the Lord. 19 And the Levites, of the children of the Kohathites, and of the children of the Korhites, stood up to praise the Lord God of Israel with a loud voice on high.

20 And they rose early in the morning, and went forth into the wilderness of Tekoa: and as they went forth, Jehoshaphat stood and said, Hear me, O Judah, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem; Believe in the Lord your God, so shall ye be established; believe his prophets, so shall ye prosper. 21 And when he had consulted with the people, he appointed singers unto the Lord, and that should praise the beauty of holiness, as they went out before the army, and to say, Praise the Lord; for his mercy endureth for ever.

22  And when they began to sing and to praise, the Lord set ambushments against the children of Ammon, Moab, and mount Seir, which were come against Judah; and they were smitten. 23 For the children of Ammon and Moab stood up against the inhabitants of mount Seir, utterly to slay and destroy them: and when they had made an end of the inhabitants of Seir, every one helped to destroy another. 24 And when Judah came toward the watch tower in the wilderness, they looked unto the multitude, and, behold, they were dead bodies fallen to the earth, and none escaped. 25 And when Jehoshaphat and his people came to take away the spoil of them, they found among them in abundance both riches with the dead bodies, and precious jewels, which they stripped off for themselves, more than they could carry away: and they were three days in gathering of the spoil, it was so much.

26 And on the fourth day they assembled themselves in the valley of Berachah; for there they blessed the Lord: therefore the name of the same place was called, The valley of Berachah, unto this day. 27 Then they returned, every man of Judah and Jerusalem, and Jehoshaphat in the forefront of them, to go again to Jerusalem with joy; for the Lord had made them to rejoice over their enemies. 28 And they came to Jerusalem with psalteries and harps and trumpets unto the house of the Lord. 29 And the fear of God was on all the kingdoms of those countries, when they had heard that the Lord fought against the enemies of Israel.

NOTHING SHORT OF RIGHT IS RIGHT !

Posted on by

Many Church’s today have moved out of the Arena and into the Grand Stands !

If we as Christians don’t Acts 1:8 we can expect to get Acts 8:1. Go ahead and look it up if you dare.

If they arrested you for being a Christian would there be enough evidence to convict you?

A leading Baptist Preacher said 3 times recently in his sermon on the radio, “ Jesus can come at any moment. “This is a blatant lie and false doctrine from the devil ! “But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.” (Galatians I:8).“For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: and if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.” (Revelation 22:18-19). “Teaching false doctrine is very, very, serious to the Lord ! “that ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand. Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.” (2 Thessalonians 2:2-4). “When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:) (Matthew 24:15)

“for then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. (Matthew 24:21). Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken: and then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other. (Matthew 24:29-31)

Jesus is going to appear in the clouds of heaven and rapture all the saved up to the marriage supper of the Lamb immediately After The Great Tribulation which begins when you see the Abomination of Desolation standing in the rebuilt Jewish Temple 3 1/2 years after the covenant is confirmed by the anti- christ. To teach that Jesus Christ could come at any time goes against Scripture and throws all Bible Prophesy off , and will cause THE GREAT CONFUSION among Christians in these End Times when there is no Pre-Tribulation Rapture like most all their preachers have been telling them.

“Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.”(2 Timothy 2:17a)

“These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.”(Acts 17:11)

“he that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches;” (Revelation 2:17a)

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 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, to give me the power to be a witness and to preach the Gospel in all the world.

WHO ARE YOU TRYING TO PLEASE?

Posted on by

Jesus said; “And he that sent me is with me: the Father hath not left me alone; for I do always those things that please him.” (John 8:29). “Then cometh Jesus with them unto a place called Gethsemane, and saith unto the disciples, Sit ye here, while I go and pray yonder. And he took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and began to be sorrowful and very heavy. Then saith he unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful, even unto death: tarry ye here, and watch with me. And he went a little further, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt.”(Matthew 26:36-39). Notice it says “he fell on his face” have you ever been in desperate prayer like that? There has been a popular saying going around for sometime. ”WHAT WOULD JESUS DO” (WWJD) maybe we should ask ourselves before we say and do things, “Lord is this something you would say and do?” The Holy Spirit is given to them that obey God, and you need The Holy Spirit in your life more than ever these days. “And we are his witnesses of these things; and so is also the Holy Ghost, whom God hath given to them that obey him.”(Acts 5:32).So if you want more joy, peace, love, and power, just do what Jesus would do and say what Jesus would say. “If ye know these things, happy are ye if ye do them.” (John 13:17).”It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you they are spirit, and they are life.”(John 6:63). Lord help us today and everyday to try and please you. “not with eye service, as men pleasers; but as the servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart;” (Ephesians 6:6). “casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;”(2 Corinthians 10:5). “speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord;” (Ephesians 5:19). Memorizing and reviewing scriptures will defiantly keep you inspired and in the Spirit. If you have trouble getting some dumb song out of your head from the devil from a TV commercial or something, just fight the devil with the Word, like Jesus Christ did. He told the devil,” It Is written”, and then he would quote a scripture at the devil. You can’t keep the birds from flying over your head, but you can stop them from building a nest in your hair. If you really want to knock the devil for a loop just start praising the Lord and quoting scriptures. The devil hates the Name Of Jesus and will flee from His Name. The devil also hates the Word even though he sometimes uses it and twists it to deceive people. So run the Race that is set before you. “Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, where unto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses.” (1Timothy 6:12). “How can ye believe, which receive honour one of another, and seek not the honour that cometh from God only? ” (John 5:44).

THE REAL TRUE MISSION FIELD

Posted on by

Why should anyone hear the Gospel twice when some have never heard it once? The real most needy Mission Field is where the people have never heard the Gospel. We have got to stop preaching just to the “Choir “ and start reaching the unreached. Jesus said, “If I had not come and spoken unto them, they had not had sin: but now they have no cloke for their sin.” (John 15:22). We are not using our time and money for the best, highest purpose, and calling, if we are not reaching the unreached. We need to obey the Great Commission, “And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.” (Mark 16:15). “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).“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.” (Matthew 9:36-38). “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.” (John 4:35). “And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.” (Matthew 24:14). “But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judæa, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.” (Acts 1:8).You are either a Missionary or a Mission Field.

ARE YOU LATE OR ARE YOU ON TIME ?

Posted on by

Or is that even important to you? Did you know that it is a lack of love and concern for others to be late for an appointment that you have agreed upon? If you are late you might as well say that “I am more important than you are and what I am doing is more important than what you are doing. It is also a lack of consideration for people that have appointments after you. You could throw the whole days schedule off for many people, and have to wait long periods of time or re-schedule after you’ve driven a long way. The Bible says; “Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others 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:” (Philippians 2:3-5). “For if a man think himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceiveth himself.” (Galatians 6:3).

“Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus….” If you are a saved born again Christian you need to try to be some sort of example or witness for the Lord by being on time and being concerned about other peoples time.

Thank God, Jesus is not going to be late plucking you out of this world for The Rapture. Some of you would be late for The Marriage Supper of The Lamb if it were not for the Lord picking you up himself. “For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.” (1 Thessalonians 4:16-17). This is Gods alarm clock ! So be your best to be on time for Jesus and keep your word, as God keeps his word to you, unless of course you have a good excuse, such as your car breaks down, or something else that is beyond your control. But if it happens to much people won’t trust you and it will hurt your witness. You want people to trust you when you witness to them, about Jesus the faithful witness and the answer to all their problems. In many countries it is considered a real shame to be late, and they even teach their children how serious it is not to be late. Maybe you should ask the Lord to help you be on time and start getting ready earlier. Show some love and consideration and have some class, and be on time or even a little earlier than your suppose to be.

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

ARE YOU A PERSON AFTER GOD’S OWN HEART?

Posted on by

In the Bible it was said of King David that he was a man after God’s own heart. “And afterward they desired a king: and God gave unto them Saul the son of Cis, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, by the space of forty years. And when he had removed him, he raised up unto them David to be their king; to whom also he gave testimony, and said, I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after mine own heart, which shall fulfill all my will. Of this man’s seed hath God according to his promise raised unto Israel a Saviour, Jesus:” (Acts 13:21-23). However some people wouldn’t be able to tell it by some of the things he did and the way he lived. He sent Uriah The Hittite to be killed on the front lines of Battle so he could take his wife Bath-Sheba,which God severely judged him for. But David repented and turned to the Lord instead of getting bitter he got better because he knew the Lord’s mercy and had faith in his forgiveness. Read this history in the Book of 2 Samuel chapter11. (King David wrote The Book of Psalms), In Psalms 136:1-27 it says God’s mercy endures Forever in each verse 27 times.

Don’t you want to be a man or woman after God’s own heart and receive of his mercy,love, and forgiveness? King David knew how to get desperate in prayer with God and even change Gods mind.

The Lord has mightily used men and women who have made great mistakes and committed many sins in the Bible because they had great repentance’s such as Samson, Solomon, and Paul who even killed Christians until God knocked him off his horse and he got saved. Has God knocked you off your high horse? So if you want to be a person after God’s own heart just read their stories in the Bible. The Lord even told Isaiah to walk around naked and Ezekiel to lay on his side and eat dung, and Hosea to marry a harlot to show the people how they were making the Lord feel.

So be a man or woman after God’s own heart if you dare, and see how great God’s love and mercies really are.

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 SEEKING ?

Posted on by

Everyone is seeking for something whether they will admit it or not.

“But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.” (Matthew 6:33)

“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.” (Matthew 13:45-46).

“But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.” (Luke 18:16).

Jesus said; that little children were of the Kingdom of God. In fact you can’t go to heaven unless you become as a little child, and be born again. “And Jesus called a little child unto him, and set him in the midst of them, and said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.” (Matthew 18:2-3).

So since Jesus said about little children, to forbid them not for of such is the Kingdom of Heaven, and he also said to seek first the kingdom of Heaven and then all these things shall be added unto you. So if you are putting having children on the back burner and your wants and desires before what God desires then watch out, you don’t want to displease the Lord.

“Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:” (1 Peter 5:8) Even the devil is seeking to devour YOU !

Seek ye the Lord while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near: (Isaiah 55:6). Seek the Lord and his strength, seek his face continually. (1Chronicals 16:11).

So if your seeking anything except Jesus and his Kingdom first which surely includes children, then your wasting your time and are going down the wrong path. He that is able to receive this message let him receive it.

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

CARRY YOUR CROSS WITH JOY

Posted on by

“Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God. For consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds. Ye have not yet resisted unto blood, striving against sin.” (Hebrews 12:1-4). It says endure the cross with joy. How could Jesus carry his cross with joy? Because he was doing it out of love for his Father and us. Has the Lord given you a cross to bare? Ask him to help you bare it with joy. The Lord loves a cheerful giver. The joy of the Lord is your strength. They that bare the cross shall receive the crown. No triumph without a trial, no testimony with out a test. No victory without a battle. God spoke to Moses and said; What is that in thy hand? If the Lord put a child in your hand this is your responsibility to God, this is your cross. You can carry this cross with joy and receive a crown, or carry it with grief and murmur and complain and miss the blessing that the Lord wants to give you and actually bring on God’s judgments and chastisements upon you, and hurt all that are around you. This you will have to answer for and you will receive a great reward for teaching and training that little child that Jesus has given you, his little sheep that you have been made a Shepherd or Shepherdess of, if you love me 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 21:17). THIS IS YOUR MAIN JOB ! “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). 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. (2 Corinthians 5:10). So don’t complain, but pick up the cross which the Lord has laid before you, and follow Jesus and do your best for him. Even if your cross is heavy and has splinters, do it now. Now today before the opportunity is gone hold that fast which thou hast let no man steal thy crown. This message is for you. If God has placed children in your care. “I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. (Romans 12:1-2). “But when Jesus saw it, he was much displeased, and said unto them, Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.” (Mark 10:14).“And it came to pass, that, as they went in the way, a certain man said unto him, Lord, I will follow thee whithersoever thou goest. And Jesus said unto him, Foxes have holes, and birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head. And he said unto another, Follow me. But he said, Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father. Jesus said unto him, Let the dead bury their dead: but go thou and preach the kingdom of God. And another also said, Lord, I will follow thee; but let me first go bid them farewell, which are at home at my house. And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.”(Luke 9:57-62). “for this day is holy unto our Lord: neither be ye sorry; for the joy of the Lord is your strength.” (Nehemiah 8:10b).

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
