A few days ago, i sent this out as an e mail.
Seems i should post it here now.
Joshua 1:7-9
“Only be strong and very courageous;
be careful to do according to all the law which Moses My servant commanded you;
do not turn from it to the right or to the left,
so that you may have success wherever you go.
This book of the law shall not depart from your mouth,
but you shall meditate on it day and night,
so that you may be careful to do according to all that is written in it;
for then you will make your way prosperous,
and then you will have success.
Have I not commanded you?
Be strong and courageous!
Do not tremble or be dismayed,
for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go.”
In GOD’s word we are told:
“If and My people who are called by My name humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways,
then I will hear from heaven,
will forgive their sin and will heal their land.”
Take responsibility for your actions.
We have been given a short list of things we are to do and not do.
But yet the human race even the church has and is choosing to take the wide path the simple path the path of least resistance, pleasing themselves with the lusts of the world.
The lust of possessions and position rather than seeking the Face of GOD and obeying His words.
In Matthew 7:13-14 we are told;
¶ “Enter through the narrow gate;
for the gate is wide and the way is broad that leads to destruction,
and there are many who enter through it.
For the gate is small and the way is narrow that leads to life, and there are few who find it.”
The short list we have been given to follow and obey;
(1) “You shall have no other gods before Me.”
(2) “You shall not make for yourself an idol, or any likeness of what is in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the water under the earth. You shall not worship them or serve them; for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children, on the third and the fourth generations of those who hate Me, but showing lovingkindness to thousands, to those who love Me and keep My commandments.”
(3) “You shall not take the name of the LORD your God in vain, for the LORD will not leave him unpunished who takes His name in vain.”
(4) “Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.
Six days you shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is a sabbath of the LORD your God;
in it you shall not do any work, you or your son or your daughter, your male or your female servant or your cattle or your sojourner who stays with you.
For in six days the LORD made the heavens and the earth, the sea and all that is in them, and rested on the seventh day; therefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day and made it holy.”
(5) “Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be prolonged in the land which the LORD your God gives you.”
(6) “You shall not murder.”
(7) “You shall not commit adultery.”
(8) “You shall not steal.”
(9) “You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.”
(10) “You shall not covet your neighbor’s house;
you shall not covet your neighbor’s wife or his male servant or his female servant or his ox or his donkey or anything that belongs to your neighbor.”
Jesus was asked
“Teacher, which is the great commandment in the Law?”
And He said to him,
“YOU SHALL LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART, AND WITH ALL YOUR SOUL, AND WITH ALL YOUR MIND.”
The second is like it,
“YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF.
On these two commandments depend the whole Law and the Prophets.”
Yes Christ Jesus came that we might live in freedom from the consequences of sin, but not so that we could live in sin.
Want your country to change for the good?
Then take responsibility for your actions.
And turn from your disobedient of GOD’s word.
Put your faith in the creator instead of the created.
A man can not save you,
only the Son of God, the Lord Christ Jesus can save you.
And to all the pastors on this mailing list, remember these words in Matthew.
Matthew 7:21-24
¶ “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven will enter.
Many will say to Me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name perform many miracles?’
And then I will declare to them,
‘I never knew you;
DEPART FROM ME, YOU WHO PRACTICE LAWLESSNESS.’
Therefore, everyone who hears these words of Mine and acts on them, may be compared to a wise man who built his house on the rock.”
Just because you hold a title does not give you a free ride in to heaven.
It does not give you the right to hold on to sin,
Do you have things in your life that take up your time before you give your time to GOD?
Do you have idols in your life?
Possessions, position, sports, actors, worldly books, photos, art work, anything that possesses your time and draws your faith and dependance from the LORD your GOD.
Do you through around the name of the LORD your God to make another think you are more holy or have arrived?
Do you use His name in vain?
Do you keep the sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days you shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is a sabbath of the LORD your God;
in it you shall not do any work, you or your son or your daughter, your male or your female servant or your cattle or your sojourner who stays with you.
For in six days the LORD made the heavens and the earth,
the sea and all that is in them, and rested on the seventh day;
therefore, the LORD blessed the sabbath day and made it holy.”
Do you Honor your father and your mother?
Do you commit murder?
Do you think evil of or against your brothers?
If so, Christ Jesus says you have committed murder.
Do you commit adultery?
Do you look upon a woman with lust, with desire, with immoral thoughts?
If so Christ Jesus says you have already committed adultery.
Do you steal?
Do you do things or say things for your own gain?
If so you are stealing from others
Do you speak false things against your neighbor?
Pass on things that have been said with out checking out if they are truth or not?
Than chases are you are or have passed on lies about others.
Do you covet what your neighbor’s has?
They have it so you have to have it also?
Do you love the LORD your GOD with ALL your heart, with ALL your soul, with ALL your mind? or is your love for the Lord divided?
Do you love your neighbor as much as you love yourself?
Knowing the word of GOD and living by the word of GOD are two different things.
Want your country to be a free country?
Want your country to prosper?
Then get your life securely planted in the commandments we have been given by the LORD your GOD.
Repent of the sin in your life and turn to Christ your LORD.
If truth is to be told it is the churches lack of dedication to the Lord Crist Jesus that has put us in the condition we are in as a country.
As the morals of the Churches have declined the morals of the country have declined.
And now it seems the country has no morals at all.
Call yourself a Christian?
Then take responsibility,
Stop playing Church,
If you are a pastor or in leadership, step down from your ivory tower, and treat your congregation as equals.
For in all truth and reality you are not any better than the ones you think are the least of them.
It is truly sad what the Church has become in America, Men of GOD pastors, if your wife cheated on you, brought others in to your home entertained and made love to them on a regular basis, how would you feel?
Really,
Then how do you thing Christ Jesus feels when the Church His Bride entertains others?
You can not serve two masters, and GOD will not break your will.
His spirit will direct and teach but only if you allow Him to do so.
You cling to the worldly tings and concepts.
Do not be shocked when you stand before the LORD and hear these words
“Depart from Me for I never knew you”
It is your choice:
Take responsibility for your thoughts and actions, in all humility seek the face of GOID and repent of the sin in your life,
if you truly do so and ask for forgiveness the LORD your GOD will forgive you, and HE says He will heal your land.
So, what are you going to do?
It is your choice.
Something to honestly consider:
What day did Father GOD set as the sabbath?
And what did the LORD Jesus say in Matthew
Matthew 5:17
“Do not think that I came to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I did not come to abolish but to fulfill.”
The law of Father GOD states
“Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.
Six days you shall labor and do all your work,
but the seventh day is a sabbath of the LORD your God;
in it you shall not do any work,
you or your son or your daughter,
your male or your female servant or your cattle or your sojourner who stays with you.
For in six days the LORD made the heavens and the earth,
the sea and all that is in them,
and rested on the seventh day;
therefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day and made it holy.”
The sabbath day was at the end of the work week, that is Saturday.
That does not mean you can’t have church on Sunday,
it means we are to keep the sabbath and keep it holy,
the sabbath is the day we are to set aside to spend with our Lord our GOD.
Not watching sports,
not spending our time catching up on thing we did not have time to do the rest of the week,
not washing and polishing the god in the driveway.
It is to be the day we set aside to spend in the word of GOD seeking the face of GOD,
a time of rest in the LORD our GOD, not in the world.
This is one thing i think the Seventh Day Adventist got it right.
Think about it
What will you do?
Don’t get sucked in to the old religion that has been given the new name of ‘brother sun’
The worship of the sun which has been and is being done on Sunday.
Take the time to do the research as to who and to when the Church of Christ started having church on Sundays,
if you honestly do the research, you will be surprised at what you will find.
Out for now,
Keep your powder dry, your heart pure and your eyes on the LORD your GOD.
