(This is a powerful Psalm full of God’s wonderful promises in every verse) PLEASE READ IT SLOWLY and meditate on each verse.

Psalm 103

A Psalm of David.

Bless the LORD, O my soul:
and all that is within me, bless his holy name.


Bless the LORD, O my soul,
and forget not all his benefits:


who forgiveth all thine iniquities;
who healeth all thy diseases;


who redeemeth thy life from destruction;
who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies;


who satisfieth thy mouth with good things;
so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle’s.

The LORD executeth righteousness
and judgment for all that are oppressed.


He made known his ways unto Moses,
his acts unto the children of Israel.


The LORD is merciful and gracious,
slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy.


He will not always chide:
neither will he keep his anger for ever.


He hath not dealt with us after our sins;
nor rewarded us according to our iniquities.


For as the heaven is high above the earth,
so great is his mercy toward them that fear him.


As far as the east is from the west,
so far hath he removed our transgressions from us.


Like as a father pitieth his children,
so the LORD pitieth them that fear him.


For he knoweth our frame;
he remembereth that we are dust.

As for man, his days are as grass:
as a flower of the field, so he flourisheth.


For the wind passeth over it, and it is gone;
and the place thereof shall know it no more.


But the mercy of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear him, and his righteousness unto children’s children;


to such as keep his covenant,
and to those that remember his commandments to do them.

The LORD hath prepared his throne in the heavens;
and his kingdom ruleth over all.


Bless the LORD,ye his angels,
that excel in strength, that do his commandments,
hearkening unto the voice of his word.


Bless ye the LORD all ye is hosts;
ye ministers of his, that do his pleasure.


Bless the LORD, all his works in all places of his dominion:
bless the LORD, O my soul. (Psalms 103:1-22)

(THIS IS AN EXCELLENIT CHAPTER TO MEMORIZE! It is also in the “CHAPTERS TO MEMORIZE AND LIVE BY” in www.answersintheword.com)

“but your iniquities have separated between you and your God,
and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear.” (Isaiah 59:2)

First of all let us define sin. It comes from an Old English Archery Term Meaning “to Miss the mark.” Jesus never sinned, he 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). “Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.” (Matthew 5:48). This is what we need to strive for. To please him first of all. “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)

“Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin.” (James 4:17).

“whatsoever is not of faith is sin” (Romans 14:23b). “For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God.” (Romans 3:23). “For the wages of sin is death but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” (Romans 6:23). God knew that Adam and Eve would sin before they ate of the “Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil”, and disobey God. In fact the Lord knew that they would sin even before he created them. They could have eaten of THE TREE OF LIFE instead and live forever, but no not them they listened to the devil and brought sin upon all of man kind just like you and I would have done if we were them. “And the Lord God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever: therefore the Lord God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken. So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life.”(Genesis 3:22-24). “why do ye these things? We also are men of like passions with you, and preach unto you that ye should turn from these vanities unto the living God, which made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and all things that are therein:” (Acts 14:15). The reason the Lord made us with a freewill instead of ,making us a mindless robot is because he wanted us to learn the great Eternal Lesson That We Need Him and could not make it ourselves to Heaven. “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: not of works, lest any man should boast.” (Ephesians 2:8-9). “For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do. Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me. find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me. For I delight in the law of God after the inward man: but I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members. O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death? I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin.” (Romans 7:19-25). “For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.” (Romans 8:2).

“Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned: “(Romans 5:12) “Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me.” (Psalm 51:5). So to get right with our Heavenly Father and Jesus God’s son and the Holy Spirit and make and find peace with them we must come through Jesus Christ, God’s Only Begotten Son and sacrifice for sins. “For God so loved the world that he gave his Only Begotten Son that whosoever beliveth in him should not perish but have ever lasting life.”(John 3:16). “Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.”(John 14:6). Beloved God loves you so much that he gave his only begotten son to die for you! Wow such Love I can’t hardly comprehend how he could do that, for you and for me,can you? Would you give your son to die for some bad guy? Claim 1John 1:7, “but if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.” “Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” (John 14:6). Jesus also said; Repent for the Kingdom of God is at hand. The word Repent comes from the Greek word Metanoya which means To Turn Around and go a different direction. The Bible says to bring forth the fruits of repentance. “Bring forth therefore fruits meet for repentance:” (Matthew 3:8).“But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. And they that are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.” (Galatians 5:22-25). Do these things for Jesus because you Love him and want to show him that you are sincere and truly sorry for your sins, not that your trying to be self righteous or work your way to Heaven. “not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost;” (Titus 3:5). “Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.“(Isaiah 1:18). “And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.“(Philippians 4:7).

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

“GIVE GOD ALL THE GLORY”

Jesus said; “And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me.”(John 12:32). Lord help us to always lift you up and give you credit for all the good things you do for us. There is a great lesson found in Daniel Chapter 2.

“Then was the secret revealed unto Daniel in a night vision. Then Daniel blessed the God of heaven. Daniel answered and said, Blessed be the name of God for ever and ever: for wisdom and might are his: and he changeth the times and the seasons: he removeth kings, and setteth up kings: he giveth wisdom unto the wise, and knowledge to them that know understanding: he revealeth the deep and secret things: he knoweth what is in the darkness, and the light dwelleth with him. I thank thee, and praise thee, O thou God of my fathers, who hast given me wisdom and might, and hast made known unto me now what we desired of thee: for thou hast now made known unto us the king’s matter.” (Notice how Daniel gave glory to God and not himself. He didn’t start spouting off his credentials and saying how smart he was so he could get a better position with the King and better job security, but he was more concerned about giving God the credit and glory for revealing to him the troubling dreams that Nebuchadnezzar had.)

The king answered unto Daniel, and said, Of a truth it is, that your God is a God of gods, and a Lord of kings, and a revealer of secrets, seeing thou couldest reveal this secret. Then the king made Daniel a great man, and gave him many great gifts, and made him ruler over the whole province of Babylon, and chief of the governors over all the wise men of Babylon.” These verses can be found in Daniel Chapter 2, Please study the whole Chapter in www.answersintheword.com and get a better understanding. So if you want the Lord to Bless you and mightly use you always give him the Glory and the credit and the Praise, and thank him for it. “Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning. (James 1:17). “but God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty; and base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are: that no flesh should glory in his presence.” (1 Corinthians 1:27-30). “For if a man think himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceiveth himself.” (Galatians 6:3). “Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.” (Galatians 6:7-8) “Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God.” (1 Corinthians 10:31). Even Cesar when he would ride through the streets of Rome waving to the crowds on his Golden Chariot he would have a slave standing behind him whispering in his ear “Fame is fleeting.” Remember, God had to send Nebuchadnezzar into the wilderness to eat grass for seven years to humble him, until he learned to give God the Glory. All this came upon the king Nebuchadnezzar. “At the end of twelve months he walked in the palace of the kingdom of Babylon. The king spake, and said, Is not this great Babylon, that I have built for the house of the kingdom by the might of my power, and for the honour of my majesty? While the word was in the king’s mouth, there fell a voice from heaven, saying, O king Nebuchadnezzar, to thee it is spoken; The kingdom is departed from thee. And they shall drive thee from men, and thy dwelling shall be with the beasts of the field: they shall make thee to eat grass as oxen, and seven times shall pass over thee, until thou know that the most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will. The same hour was the thing fulfilled upon Nebuchadnezzar: and he was driven from men, and did eat grass as oxen, and his body was wet with the dew of heaven, till his hairs were grown like eagles’ feathers, and his nails like birds’ claws.

“And at the end of the days I Nebuchadnezzar lifted up mine eyes unto heaven, and mine understanding returned unto me, and I blessed the most High, and I praised and honoured him that liveth for ever, whose dominion is an everlasting dominion, and his kingdom is from generation to generation: and all the inhabitants of the earth are reputed as nothing: and he doeth according to his will in the army of heaven, and among the inhabitants of the earth: and none can stay his hand, or say unto him, What doest thou? At the same time my reason returned unto me; and for the glory of my kingdom, mine honour and brightness returned unto me; and my counsellors and my lords sought unto me; and I was established in my kingdom, and excellent majesty was added unto me. Now I Nebuchadnezzar praise and extol and honour the King of heaven, all whose works are truth, and his ways judgment: and those that walk in pride he is able to abase.” (Daniel 4: 28-37). “And the people gave a shout, saying, It is the voice of a god, and not of a man. 23 And immediately the angel of the Lord smote him, because he gave not God the glory: and he was eaten of worms, and gave up the ghost.“(Acts 12: 22-23). “Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God.”(1 Corinthians 10:31).

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

Can A Christian Loose The Holy Ghost?

Posted on by

“not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost; which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour;”(Titus 3:5-6). In fact the Bible says a just man falls 7 times and raises up again. “for a just man falleth seven times, and riseth up again:
but the wicked shall fall into mischief. Rejoice not when thine enemy falleth,
and let not thine heart be glad when he stumbleth: lest the Lord see it, and it displease him, and he turn away his wrath from him.”(Proverbs 24:16-18).

Remember you can’t loose your Salvation, but you can loose the Holy Ghost. Jesus said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.” (Hebrews 13:5b). John when he Baptized Jesus saw the Holy Spirit descending like a Dove, and you know the Dove can be easily shewed away by a bad attitude or cussing. Let me tell you brothers and sisters you need the Holy Ghost in your life. “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 Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.”(Acts 1:8).

So don’t let the devil make you chase the Holy Ghost away. The Holy Spirit or The Holy Ghost which are one and the same, will come back to you and live in you when you repent and try, and bring forth the fruits of repentance. Which are the fruits of The Holy Spirit.“But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.”(Galatians 5:22-23). careful who you hang around with. “Can a man take fire in his bosom, and his clothes not be burned?”(Proverbs 6:27). “Create in me a clean heart, O 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). So have Communion often which is the only tradition that Jesus Christ commanded us to keep, and be refreshed, renewed, and regenerated everyday to meet the attackes the are surely coming your way, be prepared with the Holy Ghost Power on your side with Jesus Christ our Saviour.

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

Superstition

Posted on by

The Definition of Superstition in the Webster’s Dictionary

A belief or practice resulting from ignorance, fear of the unknown, trust in magic or chance, or a false conception of causation

An irrational abject attitude of mind toward the supernatural, nature, or God resulting from superstition

Are you superstitious? Are you motivated by superstition? Do you change directions when you see a manifestation, such as a black cat in your path, or a flying bird hitting a hard surface, such as a wall or fence etc. Be careful because not all manifestations are from the Lord. It could be from the Devil your enemy. When people get all into superstitious manifestations it could turn into a form of worship from the Devil and his demons to get us off track. We have got to ask Jesus for some wisdom and spiritual discernment. “If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.” (James 1:5 )

Also ask for the gift of discernment. The enemy would love to get you tripped off running around looking for manifestations which can lead you astray and waste your time which God has given you on your watch here on earth, to see what you will do with it. Manifestations are physical sightings of spiritual meanings or realities. PRAY without ceasing, put on the whole armour of God. “neither give place to the devil.” (Ephesians 4:27).

Ephesians 5:6-21

Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience. Be not ye therefore partakers with them. For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light: (for the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth;) proving what is acceptable unto the Lord. And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them. For it is a shame even to speak of those things which are done of them in secret. But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light: for whatsoever doth make manifest is light. Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light. See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise, redeeming the time, because the days are evil. Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is. And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit; speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord; giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ; submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God.

Ephesians 6: 10-18

Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand 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: praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints; “Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:” (1Peter 5:8). So let me spell it out for you. Superstition can be a form of worshiping the Devil. Be careful and prayerful out there! Grow up!!! Wake up!!! it’s time to stop all this devil worship, and be a part of God’s real woke generation and not a bungling babe any more! You have got babes to train! The Lord has put you in a position where others are watching 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. I believed you died on the cross for my sins and rose from the dead. Please come into my heart and life and fill me with your Holy Spirit and give me peace. Amen.

WE WILL TEACH THE WHOLE TRUTH AND NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH SO HELP US LORD JESUS CHRIST!

Posted on by

“For I have not shunned to declare unto you all the counsel of God.” (Acts 20:27). “Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; and ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” (John 8:31-32). I was recently praying about Answersintheword.com and I was considering watering some parts down because I was worried that it was to heavy and powerful and bottle breaking for many Christians. Then as I was going thru and reading the teachings of which are over 500 now, I couldn’t find any I would or could take out. Since people need to know them all because we are in the End Times and Jesus is Coming back soon. The Bible says; “I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now. Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear,that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come. He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew unto you.” (John 6:12-14). “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. As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed. For do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ.”(Galatians 1:8-10). May the Lord forbid that I should teach anything but the truth! As I have said before if anyone can show us anything that we teach that is not scriptural and true, please let us know and we will gladly correct it. If you can’t you had better follow the teaching with all of your heart, and myself also!” only fear the Lord, and serve him in truth with all your heart: for consider how great things he hath done for you.” (1 Samuel 12:24).

“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).

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

WHEN I AM WEAK, THEN AM I STRONG !

“Of such an one will I glory: yet of myself I will not glory, but in mine infirmities. For though I would desire to glory, I shall not be a fool; for I will say the truth: but now I forbear, lest any man should think of me above that which he seeth me to be, or that he heareth of me. And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure. For this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that it might depart from me And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ’s sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong. (2 Corinthians 12:5-10). Remember Satan trembles when he sees the weakest Saint upon his knees. “For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called: but God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty; and base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are: that no flesh should glory in his presence.” (1 Corinthians 1:26-29). “For his letters, say they, are weighty and powerful; but his bodily presence is weak, and his speech contemptible.” (2 Corinthians 10:10). Jesus Said, “And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me.” (John 12:32). Keep lifting up Jesus always, but expect all hell to break loose upon you, when the devil puts you on his hit list, But JESUS will stand with you and help you along with his army of ANGELS, remember one with God is a majority. “Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labour. For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow: but woe to him that is alone when he falleth; for he hath not another to help him up. Again, if two lie together, then they have heat: but how can one be warm alone? And if one prevail against him, two shall withstand him; and a threefold cord is not quickly broken.” (Ecclesiastes 4:9-12). When your walking with the devil he doesn’t give you such a hard time, but when you turn around and resit him he will go all out and fight you before he flees and leaves you, and the enemy quits trying to get you to give up. NEVER SURRENDER! “Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded. Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness. Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up.” (James 4:7-10). “He that hath ears to hear, let him hear!” “And when he had said these things, he cried, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear. “(Luke 8:8b).

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.

Commitment

Posted on by

“When thou vowest a vow unto God, defer not to pay it; for he hath no pleasure in fools: pay that which thou hast vowed. Better is it that thou shouldest not vow, than that thou shouldest vow and not pay. Suffer not thy mouth to cause thy flesh to sin; neither say thou before the angel, that it was an error: wherefore should God be angry at thy voice, and destroy the work of thine hands?” (Ecclesiastes 5:4-6). “But what think ye? A certain man had two sons; and he came to the first, and said, Son, go work to day in my vineyard. He answered and said, I will not: but afterward he repented, and went. And he came to the second, and said likewise. And he answered and said, I go, sir: and went not. whether of them twain did the will of his father? They say unto him, The first. “ ( Matthew 21:28-31a). If you say you are going to do something for the Lord you had better do it, and do it speedily. “because the king’s business required haste.” (1Samuel 21:8b). I am so glad Jesus made a commitment to our Heavenly Father out of love for him and us, to go to the cross and suffer all the pain and die so we could be saved and healed ! Aren’t you? “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). “I was not disobedient unto the heavenly vision:” (Acts 26:19b). Some day we will have to give an account for our lives to the Lord. “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 be a faithful servant . “His lord said unto him, Well done, good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy Lord.” (Matthew 25:23).

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.

Basic Instruction Before Leaving Earth

The Bible is a Love letter to you from The Creator of all Universes, who made all things from nothing by speaking Creation into existence.The Bible is Divinely inspired by God, and Jesus and The Holy Spirit. This is proven by all the many fulfilled prophecy’s. “We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts:” (2Peter 1:19).The Bible is a collection of 66 books written by Prophets and men of God and scholars over a 1600 year period. There are 39 Books in the Old Testamate. and 27 in the New Testamate. The Old Testamate was originally written in Hebrew, the New Testamate was originally written in Greek. The Old Testamate was Translated into Greek in 250 B.C. Under the reign of King Philadelphus of Greece, it is called the “Septuagint” which is an Historical Fact taught in all Universities and Bible Colleges. The New Testamate was translated into English in 1611 under the reign of King James of England by 70 Scholars who took 10 years and accomplished this great feat. It was during a time when Heretics were burned at the stake, so they we’re very very careful not to make any mistakes from the Hebrew, Greek and Aramaic (the language which was widely spoken in Jesus’s day) into the English language at a time when it was at it’s most perfect and beautiful state. The Bible says “For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.” (2Peter 1:21).

The Lord gave us the Bible as a guide thru life. “Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.” (Psalms 119:105). The Bible is an amazing, powerful, Spiritual Book, you can read the same passages over and over many times and the Lord will speak new Revelations to you every time you read it. You have got to get alone with the Lord and your Bible in a quite place and pray before you read it and ask Jesus to reveal his truths to you, if you really want to get the most out of reading God’s Word. “Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth.” ( Psalm 46:10). Listen to the Lord’s still small voice. Try not to interrupt him. ” And he said, Go forth, and stand upon the mount before the Lord. And, behold, the Lord passed by, and a great and strong wind rent the mountains, and brake in pieces the rocks before the Lord; but the Lord was not in the wind: and after the wind an earthquake; but the Lord was not in the earthquake: and after the earthquake a fire; but the Lord was not in the fire: and after the fire a still small voice. ” (1 Kings 19:11-12). If you really study the Bible you will see that it is like a great puzzle that fits together with other different books in The Bible. The Old Testamate is the New Testament Concealed, The New Testamate is the Old Testamate revealed. The main theme of the Old Testamate is the coming of the Messiah, Jesus Christ. The main theme of the New Testamate is the Revelation of Jesus Christ and what he did and what he taught. The Bible will make you wise, and fulfilled, and happy when we obey it. “If ye know these things, happy are ye if ye do them.” (John 13:17). The Bible will feed your spirit. The Bible is an accurate History Book, of truth and spiritual wealth and encouragement and will bring you victory over evil and the devil. The Bible is your Spiritual armor to fight the devil and his lies. “For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.” (Hebrews 4:12). The Bible teaches the True Age of The Earth, and historical events. Don’t neglect reading it every day, The Bible will bring you health, life, light and spiritual wealth. It makes the Lord happy when you read it and share it. “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). “Open thou mine eyes that I may behold wondrous things out of thy Law.”(Psalms 119:18). The Bible is the Word of God and it will open your spiritual eyes, so you can see what is really going on in this dark evil world, run by the devil himself. “And the devil, taking him up into an high mountain, shewed unto him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time. And the devil said unto him, All this power will I give thee, and the glory of them: for that is delivered unto me; and to whomsoever I will I give it. If thou therefore wilt worship me, all shall be thine. And Jesus answered and said unto him, “GET THEE BEHIND ME, SATAN: FOR IT IS WRITTEN, THOU SHALT WORSHIP THE LORD THY GOD, AND HIM ONLY SHALT THOU SERVE.“(Luke 4:5-8). “The Bible is the most priceless possession of the human race.”

The Bible is,

BASIC INSTRUCTION BEFORE LEAVING EARTH

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.

IN JESUS CHRIST PAIN IS GAIN

Posted on by

I never have been much of a pain person or one who could take a lot of pain. I guess most of us are like that too. How about you? The Bible talks about pain. “For unto you it is given in the behalf of Christ, not only to believe on him, but also to suffer for his sake;” (Philippians 1:29). “though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered;” (Hebrews 5:8). Think of the pain that Jesus endured for us to be saved and healed by his stripes or whippings. “But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed” (Isaiah 53:5). We don’t suffer pain to get Salvation, we do suffer pain to get closer to Jesus Christ. If we can’t handel the daily pain and suffering we have to deal with now. Then how are we going to make it when things really get bad? “If thou hast run with the footmen, and they have wearied thee, then how canst thou contend with horses? And if in the land of peace, wherein thou trustedst, they wearied thee, then how wilt thou do in the swelling of Jordan?” (Jeremiah 12:5). “confirming the souls of the disciples, and exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that we must through much tribulation enter into the kingdom of God.” (Acts 14:22). The Lord gives us grace for the trial at the time it is needed, not before or after. Even though it may seem unberable just cry out to Jesus with all your heart and he will help you. “And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart.” (Jeremiah 29:13). Jesus suffered and died for us, “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). Remember they that bare the Cross shall receive the Crown, no Testimony without a Test. No Triumph without a Trial, no Victory without a Battle. God created feelings of pain to help get us to repent and turn to him through Jesus Christ his Only Begotten Son. Sometimes fear of pain will help us to do the right things that are good for us and keep us in line on the straight and narrow for our own good. “And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.” (Matthew 10:28). If you have children you know what I mean. My Dad used to tell me: “You Better Straighten up and Fly Right.”

Many of the people of God through out time have had to endure sufferings and persecutions and pains. Isaiah was sawn in half. READ Hebrews Chapter 11. God’s Hall of Fame Chapter for people of God who endured pain and suffering for the Lord. All the disciples were killed and tortured except John who the Romans tried to boil in oil, but he wouldn’t boil. So they stuck him on the island Patmos in prison where Jesus came to him and gave him the Book of Revelations. Even Peter was crucified up side down when he told the Romans that he was not worthy to die like his Lord Jesus did.

NOW I’M NOT TRYING TO START A SELFRIGHTOUS WORKS DOCTRINE TO BE SAVED BY SUFFERINGS, BUT TO GIVE YOU ENCOURAGEMENT THAT YOU CAN MAKE IT THRU FAITH BY GOD’S GRACE AND HELP. IT WILL BE WORTH IT ALL WHEN WE SEE JESUS. “And they departed from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer shame for his name. “ (Acts 5:41). I would rather suffer from preaching the Gospel then suffer for my sins.

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.

MARK 4: 1-34

1 And he began again to teach by the sea side: and there was gathered unto him a great multitude, so that he entered into a ship, and sat in the sea; and the whole multitude was by the sea on the land. 2 And he taught them many things by parables, and said unto them in his doctrine, 3 Hearken; Behold, there went out a sower to sow: 4 and it came to pass, as he sowed, some fell by the way side, and the fowls of the air came and devoured it up. 5 And some fell on stony ground, where it had not much earth; and immediately it sprang up, because it had no depth of earth: 6 but when the sun was up, it was scorched; and because it had no root, it withered away. 7 And some fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up, and choked it, and it yielded no fruit. 8 And other fell on good ground, and did yield fruit that sprang up and increased; and brought forth, some thirty, and some sixty, and some an hundred. 9 And he said unto them, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear. 10 And when he was alone, they that were about him with the twelve asked of him the parable. 11 And he said unto them, Unto you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God: but unto them that are without, all these things are done in parables: 12 that seeing they may see, and not perceive; and hearing they may hear, and not understand; lest at any time they should be converted, and their sins should be forgiven them. 13 And he said unto them, Know ye not this parable? and how then will ye know all parables? 14 The sower soweth the word. 15 And these are they by the way side, where the word is sown; but when they have heard, Satan cometh immediately, and taketh away the word that was sown in their hearts. 16 And these are they likewise which are sown on stony ground; who, when they have heard the word, immediately receive it with gladness; 17 and have no root in themselves, and so endure but for a time: afterward, when affliction or persecution ariseth for the word’s sake, immediately they are offended. 18 And these are they which are sown among thorns; such as hear the word, 19 and the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful. 20 And these are they which are sown on good ground; such as hear the word, and receive it, and bring forth fruit, some thirtyfold, some sixty, and some an hundred.

21 And he said unto them, Is a candle brought to be put under a bushel, or under a bed? and not to be set on a candlestick? 22 For there is nothing hid, which shall not be manifested; neither was any thing kept secret, but that it should come abroad. 23 If any man have ears to hear, let him hear.

24 And he said unto them, Take heed what ye hear: with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you: and unto you that hear shall more be given. 25 For he that hath, to him shall be given: and he that hath not, from him shall be taken even that which he hath.

26 And he said, So is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast seed into the ground; 27 and should sleep, and rise night and day, and the seed should spring and grow up, he knoweth not how. 28 For the earth bringeth forth fruit of herself; first the blade, then the ear, after that the full corn in the ear. 29 But when the fruit is brought forth, immediately he putteth in the sickle, because the harvest is come.

30 And he said, Whereunto shall we liken the kingdom of God? or with what comparison shall we compare it? 31 It is like a grain of mustard seed, which, when it is sown in the earth, is less than all the seeds that be in the earth: 32 but when it is sown, it groweth up, and becometh greater than all herbs, and shooteth out great branches; so that the fowls of the air may lodge under the shadow of it. 33 And with many such parables spake he the word unto them, as they were able to hear it. 34 But without a parable spake he not unto them: and when they were alone, he expounded all things to his disciples.
