Last week came running and screaming in to this week and looks like it could run on throw next week,
Acting like a young child on a sugar merry-go-round that has not slept for several nights,
but other than that all is well and life is still good,
God is still in control.
As some of you know my wife and i live on about $800.00 a month and things cost, that’s life
This last week have had some tough decisions to make and am still working through them,
nothing a few thousand dollars wouldn’t hurt.
As some of you also know i use a Cpap machines so i can keep birthing at night, not sur i need to do that but seems like a good idea,
they tell me that one in twenty after using a Cpap machine for 2 ½ years their teeth start falling apart, well guess what yea i’m the one in twenty,
And so far have ten broken teeth, no insurance and no money, and last week my Cpap machine started acting up.
So i ask the Lord what you are telling me, what am i to learn from this and i wait.
The Lord has shown me that my faith was not as strong as i thought it was, and that even if i can never get my teeth fixed or even if i die in my sleep from lake of air it does not mater,
for i am in His hands and this world nor things in it nor man can take me out of the hand of God.
So i lose my hear;(yea i’m going bald also) i don’t have to brush it anymore, i lose my teeth i don’t have to brush them any more either,
so i do juicing big deal it’s a win win, save time in the morning and eat or drink more fruits and vegetables.
Anyhow that has been what has been preoccupying my time the last week
But even throw it all i know Jesus is still the son of God and i have been adopted in to His family and He knows my needs.
The one hung can change your world!’
i‘m going to go try and sleep tonight so i can think straight and post tomorrow ,
night all
Father God and Christ Jesus are still alive and doing well, they are still in controll and still the shepard of my life and being.

Are you going to church to day?
Or for those of you who are not reading this the day it was posted are you going to church this coming Sunday?
If you ae are you going with a heart to learn something about the way you should live in Christ or are you going to make an appearance, or to socialize?
83% of the people who attend church when asked on Monday what did you learn Sunday at church could not even remember what was spoken about.
This Sunday try this;
Prepare your heart before you ever step up to the door, refuse to take part in ideal talk bring all conversations back to the Lord and what He has done in your life, you are not there to talk and think about the ball game, or to gossip about your coworker,
you should not be there to forward any worldly manner,
your only concern should be your relationship with Christ and what you can hear His Holy Spirit speak to you.
Church is where we go to learn the ways of Christ, and how we can live a life in Him and for Him, this can’t take place if you are more concerned and speaking of worldly manners,
with the things of the world on your mind and tong you will not hear the Spirit of God tugging at our heart.
When you try and push forward an agenda or yourself, you are leaving the Holy Spirit behind,
He is a gentlemen and will not intrude where not wanted,
so before you ever inter in stop take the time and ask the Holy Spirit to go before you and behind you beside you and with you,
to show you the words of God and how your life can and should comply to it.
Do not be conformed to this world and its ways, but be transformed and renewed by the Spirit of God

As days turn in to weeks and weeks in to months and months in to years the things we do and say and even think go on record.
Yesterday we had an incident take place in the café our Son owns, corrupt town officials and the local marshals corrupt behavior was displayed publicly.
In our town they have set them self’s up as gods, for in their eyes they are above us all.
The real issue is they have claimed to be Christians, This same attitude they have displayed is also noticeable in the churches, pastors and leadership who think they are above the congregation, who take but never really give.
Those who think they are of great importance so they should be treated above the rules that they are exempt from the rules. .
Father God is not an old man who has forgotten what He has said; He has not forgotten the commandments He set into effect so many years ago, they are just as valid today as they were the day Moses brought then down from the mountain top.
And the words of Jesus are still the driving force behind the Church and all believers.
The theme of all are summed up in the statements Jesus spoke, Jesus gave us the greatest commandment to fallow and it is stated for us in Matthew 22:37
“YOU SHALL LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART, AND WITH ALL YOUR SOUL, AND WITH ALL YOUR MIND”
Then Jesus goes on to tell us the second greatest commandment
“YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOUR SELF.”
Jesus tells us that the first is the great and foremost commandment And that these two commandments are the force behind the whole Law In Mark 9:35 we are told
“IF ANYONE WANTS TO BE FIRST, HE SHALL BE LAST OF ALL AND SERVANT OF ALL”
So for those of us who do not hold a position of so called authority need to head these word also, and repent of our choices to put our self above others or to think we are above or even equal to God, for the man who is doing or dose so will fall, crash and burn.
Check your heart do you love the Lord your God with all your heart soul and mind?
Do you love your neighbor as yourself?
Or are you all words and no action when it comes to being a Christian.
are you always trying to corect and change others? but taking no resposabiility for your own thoughts and ations, If so you need to make some changes, and you need to do it quickly for time is running out.

1 Thessalonians
First expanse how Paul came to the Thessalonians, not to make money or gather wealth, but to share with them the word of God, with no thought of self but of spreading the love and to others so that they may know Christ,
san but greed seems to be a big part of the church of today.
Things we can draw from First Thessalonians
We are to be faithful to God, by living free from all flattery and from all greediness, materialism, envy, not longing or desiring, nor being enviousness or jealousy, not grasping for the things of man
There is this difference between the judgments of God and the judgments of men, that when men choose, we filter our judgments through the qualities and appearance of those things which we see in front of us,
But God finds the reason of his counsel and judgments only in himself,
Seeing that we are not able to think a good thought on our own, that whoever He chooses to call to a holy calling, he makes them able to do so, it is by His mercy that we are allowed by God to be made able, and are made acceptable to God by God.
We are to be;
1. As a flock that is committed to Him and His ways than to our own lives.
2. To give up our own rights and do His will rather than to be stumbling block to his sheep
3. To align our lives to outshine even surpass others in being an example of a godly life, not that we may be lifted up but so that Christ may be lifted up, not so that we may be seen but so that Christ may be seen.
4. To encourage, lift up and comfort others with the same fatherly mind and affection as Christ has shown us
5. To diligently and earnestly counsel, urge and encourage all men to lead a godly life
We are to live boldly before men in the love and freedom of Christ not in fear of man but in fear of God, doing the will of God which is that we should be His light here on this earth so that others may come to Him also in boldness.
If our life does not reflect Christ they are reflecting self or world, look at your life as you would look in the mirror, what do you see, a reflection of Christ or of greed wont and need.

Part 3
Hebrews 3: 17-19 and 4:1-16
17 But with who was he displeased for forty years? Was he not displeased with those that sinned, whose carcasses fell in the wilderness?
18 And to who did He swear they will not enter into his rest, those that did not obey Him.
19 So we see that they could not enter in, because of unbelief.
So if we are to enter in to the Lords peace we have the great need of first believing in Him and believing He will fulfill what He has told us He will do. And we must obey His word
4:1-16
1 Let us fear therefore, that at any time by forsaking the promise of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to be deprived of His rest.
2 For to us was the Gospel preached as also to them: but the word that they heard, did not profit them, because it was not mixed with faith in those that heard it.
3 For we who have believed, do enter into rest, as he said to all, “As I have sworn in my wrath, those who do not believe will never enter into my rest” Although His works were finished from the foundation of the world
4 He spoke in a certain place of the seventh day in this way, “And God did rest the seventh day from all his works.”
5 And in this place He also said, “If they will enter into my rest.
6 Seeing therefore it remained that some must still enter in, and they to whom it was first preached, didn’t enter in to rest on the seventh day do to unbelief:
7 Again he appointed in David a certain day, Today, after so long a time, saying, as it is said, this day, if you hear his voice, don’t harden your hearts.
8 For if Jesus had given them rest; then would he not after this have spoken of another day.
9 There remains therefore a rest to the people of God.
10 For he that is entered into his rest, has also ceased from his own works, as God did from his.
11 For that reason let us study to enter into that rest, to not fallow after the same example of disobedience.
12 For the word of God is lively, and mighty in operation, and sharper than any two edged sword, and piercing as far as to dividing apart the soul and the spirit, and the joints, and the marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts, and the intentions of the heart.
13 Neither is there any creature, which is not visible in his sight: but all things are naked and open to His eyes, with whom we have to account to.
14 Seeing then that we have a great high Priest, which is entered into heaven; that is Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession.
15 For we have not an high Priest, which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities, but was in all things tempted in such manners, yet without sin.
16 Let us therefore go boldly to the throne of grace; that we may receive mercy, and find grace to help in times of need.
First Conclusion;
1. God was displeased for forty years with those that sinned.
2. He swore they will not enter into his rest
And He showed us that they could not enter in, because of unbelief.
3. if we are to enter in to the Lords peace we have the great need of first believing in Him and believing He will fulfill what He has told us He will do. And we must also obey His word
In faith believing what the Lord God has spoken we can enter into His rest, just as he said, His rest is the Sabbath the seventh day, “And God did rest the seventh day from all his works.”
“As I have sworn in my wrath, those who do not believe will never enter into my rest”
4. This day, if you hear his voice, don’t harden your hearts.
5. The one that is entered into the Lords rest has also ceased from doing his own works, as God did from his.
For that reason let us study to enter into that rest, and not fallow after the world.
The word of God; Jesus Christ is
1. Lively,
2. Mighty in operation,
3. Sharper than any two edged sword,
4. Capable of dividing apart the soul from the spirit,
5. Capable of dividing apart the joints from the marrow,
6. a discerner of the thoughts,
7. Capable of knowing the intentions of the heart.
8. Capable of knowing all creatures, even those not visible in His sight
For all things are naked and open to Christ eyes, whom we have to account to.
Seeing then that Jesus our great high Priest, has entered into heaven; let us hold fast our profession of faith in Him.
We do not have a high Priest that cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities, for He Himself was tempted in all things, and in such manners, yet He did not sin.
So let us go boldly to the throne of grace; that we may receive mercy, and find grace to help in our times of need.
Second Conclusion;
The Lord has told us to not work on the Sabbath, but how many of us do? i know i did for years and gained nothing of value. 11 say’s therefore study to enter in to that rest, to not do so is disobedience.
And we are told the word of God can separate our soles from our body and that God can see everything we do even our thoughts and motives. But in 16 says we can go boldly to the throne of grace and receive mercy.
So sense He can see everything we do and knows our thoughts and motives, studding to know how we are truly supposed to live seems to be a good thing so we do not fall on to sin.
tomorrow we start in Thessalonians
