Would like to say thank you to all who continue to return to the sight.
There has been so much going on that i have not had time to set down and post for the last few weeks,
please be praying for us.
Father God sent His Son that we may be made whole,
that nun should parish but that all may have eternal life,
that is not saying that we will not have to deal with the decay of the human body,
but that our soul may live forever in His presence,
in His Kingdome,
this body will pass away,
but our hope in His return gives us straight.
For Christ the Lord, Jesus provides our needs.
Our need for forgiveness, our need to be redeemed,
Matthew 19:16-22
And someone came to Jesus and said,
“Teacher, what good thing shall I do that I may obtain eternal life?”
And Jesus said to him,
“Why are you asking Me about what is good?
There is only One who is good; but if you wish to enter into life,
keep the commandments.”
Then he said to Jesus,
“Which ones?”
And Jesus said,
“YOU SHALL NOT COMMIT MURDER;
YOU SHALL NOT COMMIT ADULTERY;
YOU SHALL NOT STEAL;
YOU SHALL NOT BEAR FALSE WITNESS;
HONOR YOUR FATHER AND MOTHER;
and YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF.”
The young man said to Jesus,
“All these things I have kept; what am I still lacking?”
Jesus said to him,
“If you wish to be complete,
go and sell your possessions and give to the poor,
and you will have treasure in heaven;
and come, follow Me.”
But when the young man heard this statement,
he went away grieving;
for he was one who owned much property.
John 3:31-36
“He who comes from above is above all,
he who is of the earth is from the earth and speaks of the earth.
He who comes from heaven is above all.
What He has seen and heard, of that He testifies;
and no one receives His testimony.
He who has received His testimony has set his seal to this,
that God is true.
For He whom God has sent speaks the words of God;
for He gives the Spirit without measure.
The Father loves the Son and has given all things into His hand.
He who believes in the Son has eternal life;
but he who does not obey the Son will not see life,
but the wrath of God abides on him.”
[[ People like to quote John 3:16 but few like to read or quote John 3:36
“He who believes in the Son has eternal life;
but he who does not obey the Son will not see life,
but the wrath of God abides on him.”
To say ‘I believe in Jesus’ means nothing if we are not willing to obey His commandments. ]]
John 5:39-47
“You search the Scriptures because you think that in them you have eternal life;
it is these that testify about Me;
and you are unwilling to come to Me so that you may have life.
I do not receive glory from men; but I know you,
that you do not have the love of God in yourselves.
I have come in My Father’s name, and you do not receive Me;
if another comes in his own name, you will receive him.
How can you believe,
when you receive glory from one another and you do not seek the glory that is from the one and only God?
Do not think that I will accuse you before the Father;
the one who accuses you is Moses,
in whom you have set your hope. For if you believed Moses,
you would believe Me, for he wrote about Me.
But if you do not believe his writings,
how will you believe My words?”
[[ You want to receive glory from the Father, Father GOD?
Then obey His commandments.
Seems rather straight forward ( OBEY MY COMANDMENTS )
We are human so we are sinners, we sin.
The question is what do we do when the Holy Spirit makes us undeniably aware that we are sinning,
will we turn from our sinning and turn to Christ Jesus asking to be forgiven?
Or will we ignore the Holy Spirit and go right on with our sin?
Jesus says “if you love me you will keep My commandments.”
]]
John 6:40
and Jesus said:
“For this is the will of My Father,
that everyone who beholds the Son and believes in Him will have eternal life,
and I Myself will raise him up on the last day.”
Romans 6:20-23
For when you were slaves of sin,
you were free in regard to righteousness.
Therefore what benefit were you then deriving from the things of which you are now ashamed?
For the outcome of those things is death.
But now having been freed from sin and enslaved to God,
you derive your benefit, resulting in sanctification,
and the outcome, eternal life.
For the wages of sin is death,
but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Matthew 19:27-29
Then Peter said to Jesus,
“Behold, we have left everything and followed You;
what then will there be for us?”
And Jesus said to them,
“Truly I say to you, that you who have followed Me,
in the regeneration when the Son of Man will sit on His glorious throne,
you also shall sit upon twelve thrones,
judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters
or father or mother or children or farms for My name’s sake, will receive many times as much, and will inherit eternal life.”
[[ Are you willing to give up all your worldly possessions?
Words from Jesus:
Matthew 19:21
Jesus said to him,
“If you wish to be complete,
go and sell your possessions and give to the poor,
and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow Me.”
The parable of the talents
Matthew 25:14-46
Jesus explains that Father God gives each of us talents.
These talents are to be used to draw other to Christ.
The question we have to ask ourselves is;
Are we using the talents God has given us to His glory?
or to our own?
Are we investing in our future in His Kingdom,
Or are we trying to build our own kingdom here on earth?
Do we truly believe in Him and trust Him,
that He has the best for us?
Around 18 years ago we gave everything away,
except our clothing and a few personal things.
Drove off with a beat up almost not running 1968 Dodge Ram,
our bed, sleeping bags, some clothing, and some home cand food.
We gave away our 3,400 square foot home that sat on 3 ½ acers,
our livestock, and all that was in the house and on the property.
The Lord over an 8 month pierid of time lead us to that point, and said get rid of everything and be ready to go,
my response was ok but You will have to deal with my wife.
Three days later she came in to the room turned of the tv and said I need to talk with you.
i said; what did i do?
Her response was “nothing”,
“I really feel that the Lord is saying we need to get rid of everything and be ready to go.”
And I said OK.
And let her know what the Lord had been showing me over the last 8 months,
showed her where i had been keeping notes on the computer and on paper every day over the 8 months
and where He had told me those same words.
We spent that spring, summer and fall in parks sharing Jesus with others, even helped start a new church.
When fall was over the Lord lead us to where we are now.
To most it looked like we failed,
we only have around $2,200.00 income a month,
He led us to the cheepesed property listing in this stat, cost us $520.00 a month to purches with no money down.
we had a home, food, clothing.
and now our son and his family next door.
11 years ago, they gave all their possessions away home and all and moved to the town the Lord had led us to,
they came with no income, no home just clothing,
one bed and five kids.
The Lord led us to a business that was for sale,
and worked it out that they could get it;
No money down, inventory to get started and a three-bedroom home.
They got here on Saturday and talked with the seller,
they spent the night on the floor at our place,
the next morning the seller called and told our son they could have it
with no money down, no payment for four months and they would drop the price $5,000.00.
They moved in on Monday and took over the next week.
120 days later made there first payment and have had a thriving business ever sense.
GOD has been faithful to meat our needs.
As of late my wife and i have not been around the public much,
actually not much at all,
And at times i feel i have let Him down because i am not even on the web site much.
i am old and tired;
i abused my body when i was younger and now everything is worn out.
My heart is damaged,
my joints are damaged
and i am tiered most of the time.
The one thing i know;
Christ Jesus said
“I will never leave you nor forsake you”
And the righter of Philippians reminds us
Philippians 4:19
And my God will supply all your needs according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus.
So i know all my spiritual needs are taken care of,
My responsibility is to love the Lord my God with all my heart,
with all my soul, and with all my mind.
And to love my neighbor as i love my self.
John 3:36
“He who believes in the Son has eternal life;
but he who does not obey the Son will not see life,
but the wrath of God abides on him.”
Can you say You love the Lord your God with all your heart,
with all your soul, and with all your mind.
Do you love your neighbor as mush as you love yourself?
Do you obey His Commandments?
i am much aware that at time i fail at all of this
but the Holy Spirit is faithful to remind me;
this life is not about me and what i have or don’t have,
it is about whom i will serve.
There are three choices:
Chose to serve self,
Chose to serve the evil one,
Or chose to serve the Lord my GOD.
He reminds me and then it is my choice to choose.
i choose to repent to my Lord and obey His commandments.
Will you choose to do the same??
