i saw something to day i have not seen in many many years

It was a true joy to my heart, but then it made me sad,

i saw a true smile,

 

it made me sad because for so long I have not seen one and as Christians, we have no reason to be going around so bitter, discussed, or upset, we have no reason for the unhappiness that seems to flow so freely.

 

Do you truly know Christ????

Do you truly believe in Christ????

Do you have any true understanding of who Christ is and who you are in Him????

 

If you did your life would be full of joy

 

Christ said we have nothing to fear, He also said He will never leave us nor will He forsake us, He told us we have nothing to fear, for He will care for us and provide our needs

 

So conclusion:

Why are you so upset about so much, why does so much bother you, why do you have to have control and why are you so demanding????

Why do you have to be the center of the conversation????

Why do you bring conversation around to be about you and what you have or haven’t done or what you have or don’t have????

 

True joy comes from the Lord, and to get it you have to walk away from the extra stuff you think you need, live a simple life loving the Lord, your Family and the others, Know who you are in the Lord, walk away from the world and the world’s ways,

 

They may say your stopped insane a fanatic even a looser he world and a lot of those who call themselves Christians will ridicule you they will laugh at you mock you scorn you and make fun of you. But there is one thing they can do to you or for you.

 

And that is, offer you salvation, only Christ can do that for it is only by His blood you are saved no one els can do it

So who will you fallow after, who will you give your life to?

A dead worlds ways or the Lord Jesus Christ who lives forever.

If you truly trust, obey and follow the Lord there will be a smile in your heart and on your face

Matthew 7 15-23 Tells us that not everyone that calls themselves a Christian are Christians

and that we can tell if someone is or isn't a Christian is by their fruit.

 

Just like a thistle plant can not produce fig a non-Christian cannot produce holy fruit,

they may be able to give the appearance of holy fruit but if you look close it is always rotten.

And the Lord says that 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.

 

 

Looks like calling yourself a Christian or learning the words to say and going through the motions of being a Christian ie not goinb to get you in to heaven.

For if you live a life with lawlessness a life without control a life with no true commitment to Christ and His teaachings youcould be turned away at the gate.

 

Being a Christian isn't a performance it is a life that is dedicated to doing the will of Christ, obeying the words and will of Christ, surrendering your life back to Him and giving up your rights for His glory, a life dedicated to listening to and obeying the leading and teaching of the Holy Spirit of God

 

So did you take the time to go back over the last few things written?

 

We as a people have been brought to the point of believing that we need to hear something new every time we go to church or to a web site to read something, and believe that is learning.

 

When the world want you to believe something they will push it at you for days the same thing with maybe different words but with the same theory or belief lased in it.

 

As a Christian it has always bothered me that every week the body of Christ will get together and be told something new every time, not that what is being said is wrong but that you can’t learn something by hearing it once and then hearing something new the next week.

 

We all learn by repetition, i always wondered how many people actually go back over what they heard on Sunday the rest of the week.

 

After reading a few survey and a couple article about church attendance and teachings this is what I found the average church member who attends church on Sunday, Monday does not remember wat the teaching was about they might remember some key phrases and a few more will remember the joke and by Thursday very few remember what was said at all.

 

So how can you say you are learning anything?

 

Back in the day when the purpose of a school was to teach reading writing and arithmetic it was taught by repetition, doing the same thing day after day, taking a few days or perhaps even a few weeks to do research and investigation.

 

By doing this it was imbedded in tour mind.

 

We are told to study not listen to show are self’s approved, so we need to be taking the time and study what we have heard.

 

Maybe i am a bit slow but i like to take what i hear on Sunday morning and for the next two to three weeks go back over it, i like getting recordings of Sunday morning and then listen to them over and over pulling out the scriptures looking them up and reading what was before it and after it to get the drift of what was said and then apply what i have found to my life and see what adjustments need to made in my life,

and then before going on to something new apply what i have learned and get it to where the rubber meets the road.

 

For if we are not applying what we are supposed to be learning we are that noisy bell in the wind

Take the time to really learn what the word of God says, and apply your life to it.

 

Thake the time

Jesus said come to me you who are weary and heavy laden.

 

Do you know anyone who is under stress?

Anyone who is tired, exhausted, fatigued, drained, tired out, wiped out, worn out, or perhaps disillusioned or shattered

Anyone who is overloaded, burdened perhaps weighed down by life and the tings of this world?

Anyone who feels a sense of emptiness?

Or perhaps you feel these things in your own life.

 

No need to put up with these feelings any more;

The answer is a simple answer

Turn your eyes back to Jesus,

Get in His word and find out who He says you are in Him

Young Ladies weather you are 6 or 106 you are a princes of the most high King you are royalty

And young men from the age of 6 to 106 you are a prince of the most high King you also are royalty

 

So why do you put up with the stress of this world when you can go in to the chambers of your Father the King where you will be taken care of and comfort you.

 

Jesus said come to me, He is waiting for you to turn away from your pain and agony that comes with following this world and its ways and to turn to Him, He is waiting for you.

 

Spend more time in His word then on facebook, twitter or any other social medea network,

Read a Psalms a day and take the time to think about what you have read,

read Matthew 5,6 and 7 it tells us who we are in Christ and how we should live,

 

Put as much enthusiasm in to your life in Christ as you do a ball game a movie or your relationship with others.

 

Come to Him, set at His feet and know who you are in Him,

He is waiting but He will not wait forever.

The Journeys dune He made it home

Can you imagen the smile on His face?

He made it home today Billy Gram has gone home and is now with our Lord,

It hearts in our hearts but it is a joy to know He made it home

 

This world is not our home it is just where we take our journey to fine that narrow path that leads to the small gate,

 

the Lord said few there are who find it,

 

looking at the life of Billy Gram His love for His fellow man, spending His life directed others to the Lord,

He is one man i’m sur found that small gate and has been welcomed in.

 

Thank you for your grace that someday i your humble servant may also enter in.
