Do Not Tempt GOD!


When the Lord came out of the wilderness after having fasted for forty days and forty nights, He was met by satan who tried to tempt Him. Satan tried tempting the Lord by telling Him to turn the stones into bread, the Lord refused. Satan tried again by offering the Lord the governments of the world, again the Lord refused. And satan tried to tempt the Lord by challenging Him to prove He is God by tempting Him to prove it by jumping off the top of the temple in Jerusalem. And to this the Lord replied : "... Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God."

What happens when we or anyone or anything tempts the Lord with empty promises? How does the Lord respond to those who entice Him, but once He arrives offer Him nothing? Let us read and see.

¶ Now in the morning as Jesus returned into the city, He hungered. And when He saw a fig tree in the way, He came to it, and found nothing thereon, but leaves only, and said unto it, Let no fruit grow on thee henceforward for ever. And presently the fig tree withered away.

And when the disciples saw it, they marvelled, saying, How soon is the fig tree withered away! Jesus answered and said unto them, Verily I say unto you, If ye have faith, and doubt not, ye shall not only do this which is done to the fig tree, but also if ye shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; it shall be done.

And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive. Matthew 21:18-21 KJV

Notice how when Jesus and His disciples are a ways off. They could see the fig tree and how the fig tree beckoned to them with its lush green leaves, yet when the Lord arrived, the fig tree had only leaves, no fruit. The Lord didn't say, oh, let us water this tree and fertilize it, let us help it to grow, no, He cursed it. And then told His disciples that they had the same power, if they came to Him in prayer.

Too often people think they can call upon the Lord and offer Him a little bit of themselves and not all of themselves. They think He will be happy with leaves and will wait for them until they are good and ready to produce fruits. Too often people tempt God or one of His with empty promises, thinking that they can set down the rules either for their salvation or for what the preacher will preach. Not so. When you call upon the Lord, you had best be prepared to give Him 100% of yourself, otherwise you may find yourself cursed by God Almighty.

When you call upon a preacher to come and preach, you had best be prepared to hear the sermon, for if you call on the Lord or one of His in jest or halfheartedly, you may just find yourself cursed. Cursed as the fig tree was cursed. Cursed as Paul cursed those who turned their backs on and insulted his preaching.

Alexander the coppersmith did me much evil: the Lord reward him according to his works: 2 Timothy 4:14 KJV

Do not call idly to the Lord, do not promise Him yourself and then give Him only a piece of yourself. Do not call or invite His to preach to you or in your arena and then insult that preacher or edit what he says. For as the Lord did to the fig tree, so will He to you. As Paul did to Alexander the coppersmith, so may that preacher do to you.

May the Lord open your eyes and help you to understand His Word, if you are His, and if you are not, may He forgive you and give you one more chance.

Amen.

We are a world of liars!


Doctors tell us it is not a baby in the womb, no, only a bit of tissue. Unless they are opening the womb and operating to correct some perceived imperfection, then it is a baby.

Politicians tell us that we have equal justice under the law. Unless it is the president or some other high mucky muck on trial and then, the felony called perjury, is not as serious as the misdemeanor of spitting on the side walk.

The Justice Department tell us that it is against the law to kill people in first degree premeditated murder. Unless that murder is done by a man wearing a badge and the victim is the wife of a so called 'white separatist'.

Society and the media tell us that guns kill more people each year than anything else. But of course they ignore Aids.

The public school systems worldwide teach that homosexuality is ok and that aids and other sexual diseases can be prevented with a condom.

We have become a world of liars and so called Christians are right at the forefront. We sing "I'll Surrender All", yet what have you done today for the Lord? What will you do today for the Lord? Do your tithes and prayer time come first or last in your life? How often do you miss work? How about church? How often are you late for work? How about church? When you are late for work, do you apologize to your boss? How about your pastor when you miss or are late for services on Sunday?

Yes, we have become a nation and world of liars. Well, let's see if I can get a few of our so called Christian readers to think about something for a minute. First, no doctor should lie about medical fact. He or she should tell you the truth. And so it is with the preacher, no preacher, and all Christians are preachers, should ever say anything they can not support with Scripture. So, when a doctor tells us that condoms will prevent aids, that when the baby in the womb is nothing but a bunch of tissue, he is a liar and will answer to God for it. But worse is when the preacher lies. And let me say it again, every Born Again Christian is a preacher. For once you are Born Again, you are commanded by God to "...Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.

Yet how many of you, when preaching actually uses the Word of God, the Holy Bible in your conversations with others? How often do you bring up God's salvation to others? And when you do, how many of you are familiar enough with the Bible to preach it effectively? To answer peoples questions honestly using God's answers from His book? How many of you spend even two hours a week reading and studying God's Word?

How many of you have taken the time to think about the differences between Christianity and the other religions of the world? What do you say when one ask you or claims that there is o differences in religions, that as long as one lives a good life, they will go to heaven? What Scripture will you or could you use?

How many of you have taken the time to rehearse and practice the plan of salvation? How many of you even know the plan of salvation? What would you do or say if you were approached and told that a coworker who just had a heart attack and was on the way to the hospital, was scared and wanted to know what he must do to be saved? Would you know? Or would you do what the Roman Catholic priest did with Timothy McVeigh? What if he died on the way to the hospital, would what you have told him gotten him into heaven if he were serious, or sent him straight to hell because you, in your ignorance, lied to him, given him information of man and not of God?

What if a girl friend of your daughters, told you would like to speak to you, what if she told you that she were pregnant and was thinkink of having an abortion, and that her one question was, "If I have this abortion, where will my baby go?" What would you tell her? Would you give her the politically correct anser of "all babies go to heaven."? What Scripture do you have to support that?

We have become so used to being lied to, that we ourselves have become liars. We sent Bill Clinton back to the oval office for a second term even though we all knew that he is, or so it seems, incapable of telling the truth. We have become so use to being lied to that as we watch George Bush become more and more like his last two predecessors, we seem almost relieved that he too is showing himself to be a left wing liberal, a lair.

Well, it is time to get back to the truth, it is time that we demand to be told the truth. We have to demand truth from first ourselves, second our pastors, third our family and then the media and politicians.

But first we must start with ourselves and our pastors. And the way to do that is to challenge both to show Scriptural source for everything preached. And the only way to do that is to know the Scriptures yourself.

What if I, as a pastor made this statement, "Esther was Mordecai's cousin." Would you accept that or challenge me? Well, if you were to challenge me, what would you claim their relationship to be? For then I would challenge you to explain Esther 2:7 to me. And through that process, we would both be reading Scripture and becoming wiser in the Word of God. And would soon come to know the truth of Esther and Mordecai's relationship.

How important is it for us to tell the truth as Christians?

Knowing this, that the law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and for sinners, for unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers, For whoremongers, for them that defile themselves with mankind, for menstealers, for liars, for perjured persons, and if there be any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine; 1 Timothy 1:9&10 KJV

Look at the group Paul puts liars in with in his letter to his favorite preacher Timothy: murders, pimps, homosexuals, slave traders, perjurers, and others who oppose the word of God. You think this is a group headed for heaven? Do you see any distinction between liars? Anything about Christian liars being exempt from this group?

I know, you are saying to yourself, there he goes again with that Paul character. Well let me let you in on a little bit of Scripture that all who claim to be Christians must accept, for to be a Christian is to acknowledge that Jesus is the Christ and that the Christ is one with the God the Father. Read what the Lord God Creator of all things has to say about the chances of a liar.

But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death. Revelation 21:8 KJV

So, where does Jesus say all liars will go? Do you think for even one minute that you can be a repentant Born Again Christian and still get away with lying about Scripture? I don't!

The Lord be with you all and may God hold that priest, minister, rabbi or preacher accountable that leads His creations astray. But, even if you are being lead astray by false teachings, by liars with robes, your salvation, as McVeighs was, is on your own head. You have a choice, you can read God's Word yourself or you can trust in those who claims to be preaching God's word and tell you things that have no Scriptural basis.

Read God's Word my brothers, for if one comes across your path in need of and seeking God's grace and salvation and if you say, "I don't know, go ask my preacher" or even worse, make up an answer or give half an answer, you can bet God is not going to reach down and pat you on the head and say "Good boy.". If we are to restore truth, it must start in body of Christ, how we who make up His body defile His body when we lie about His word.

Fathers, it is 364 days till Fathers day, let us commit to teaching our families the truth, let us commit to living our lives as Christians and letting the Word of God be our teacher on how to speak and what to say. Let us commit to demanding truth, from ourselves first, our pastors second, our families third and then the rest of the world. From this day forward, when one of you ask me a question, my first reply is going to be, "What does the Bible teach on that?". So that Fathers day 2002, will be a day we will be proud to be called dad. Read what the Word of God has to say about fathers, what they should be and what they should teach and how they will be held accountable.

The Lord be with you all.

Amen.



Weekend of Saturday June 16th & Sunday June 17th, 2001AD, 6314 AC

To tough, Really?


Some of you have taken the position that I am being to tough on President Bush. You tell me I should be more tolerant of him, more willing to see his government move ahead, more willing to give him more time. Yesterday's thought included this photo:



It generated many a comment, a woman from FreeRepublic.com tells me "...it is horrible, but we must give the president the time to do the things he was elected to do". Another from the same FreeRepublic tells me that "..the president has more important things to worry about right now...". One from the New York Daily Post replied, in regards to the picture "Cool". Another thought it would set the pro-life movement back if we showed pictures like that. A staunch republican within the staff of a so called conservative republican senator told me that "I doubt if you will see a ban to partial birth abortion brought before either house in the congress this year".

While the president has had no trouble appeasing the homosexuals and lesbians in congress, he has left the pro-life community with less than a nothing. President Bush has bent over backwards to appease the communist within both houses of congress and our friends and allies over seas, yet, the baby in the womb seems not to even be on his agenda.

Am I being to hard on the president, by asking you to do nothing to help him other than to pray for him? I don't think so, for Paul teaches us:

Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? For what concord hath Christ with Belial? Or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel? And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? For ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you, and will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be My sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty. 2 Corinthians 6:14-18 KJV

Yet president Bush is acting as if Paul had told us to separate ourselves from one another and to associate with heathens.

Paul went on in his letter to the Ephesians to say:

Eph 2:10 For we are Gods workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them. We are created to do good works, not to ignore the baby in the womb, the most defenseless of all humans, a little one trapped within his or her mothers womb with no where to run and no one it seems to protect him.

Eph 5:11 And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them. President Bush has spent countless hours having dinner, lunch and meetings with homosexuals, lesbians, communist, pro-abortionist and foreign governments, yet, what about restoring our constitutional freedoms? What about the life of the baby in the womb?

Take a moment to read Titus:

They profess that they know God; but in works they deny Him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate. Titus 1:16 KJV

George Walker Bush claims to be a Born Again Christian, but, he is not walking the walk. He is not separating this government from the horrors that are homosexuality, lesbianism, abortion and communism. Quite on the contrary. He has appointed openly homosexual men and women to high office, he has invited and lunched with communist and atheist. He has appointed pro-abortionist and heeded their council. He has backed down to the most horrendous of all evil governments on earth, the Chinese and the Sudanese. He has withheld open support for God's City Jerusalem by backing off his pledge to move the US Embassy there.

Who gave Himself for us, that He might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto Himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works. Titus 2:14 KJV

Jesus went up on the cross, to purify us, to give us a way to salvation, not of good works, but by grace, but in return He demands and expects us to do as He has taught, so as to have unto Himself, a people who love to do good works. Good works are doing the things commanded of us by Jesus. This certainly does not mean accepting abortion and putting off the elimination of it.

Yes, my brothers, George Bush needs our prayers, but I'm starting to thing that what he needs most of all is, prayers for his salvation. For his works and deeds do not indicate a born again believer, but a heathen left wing liberal so called social club small c Christian.

James, the half brother of the Lord Jesus, the CHRIST, said:

¶ What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? Can faith save him?

If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food, and one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body; what doth it profit? When president Bush claims to oppose partial birth abortion and does nothing to stop it, what has he proven?

Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone. Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works.

Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble.

But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead? Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar? Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect? And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, ABRAHAM BELIEVED GOD, AND IT WAS IMPUTED UNTO HIM FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS: AND HE WAS CALLED THE FRIEND OF GOD. Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only. Likewise also was not Rahab the harlot justified by works, when she had received the messengers, and had sent them out another way?

For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also. James 2:14-26 KJV

President Bush claims to have been saved, but, are his works showing it? What positions has he take that are of Christ?

How do we know if we should be praying for and signing letters in support of George Bush or praying for his salvation? The Lord God, creator of heaven and earth, Christ Jesus, has told us how to tell a true Christian believer from one who is not saved and therefore in need of prayers for salvation:

Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?

Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.

Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.

Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. For many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock: And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.

And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand: And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it. Matthew 7:14-27 KJV

When we look at President Bush, what kind of fruits are we seeing? Has he built his home on rock or sand?

Now while many have yelled that I am not giving the president enough time or that I don't understand, or that I am asking to much of the president, others disagree. Jay Sekulow is into week three of his drive to get signatures on a petition to be sent to every senator requesting that they move forward with the president judicial appointee. At this point in time he had 300 thousand signatures on the Ashcroft nomination papers, but to date he has less than 1/10th that for the judicial appointees. Show us your Christian works Mr. President and we will go back to showing you our support.

Pray for President Bush my brothers, pray for his agenda if you believe him to be Saved or join with me and pray for his salvation if you have doubts. Please also pray for Eric Rudolph, for not long ago I had counseled that he should turn himself in, since I felt that with a Christian in the oval office and a Christian as US Attorney General, he would get a fair trial. Now I'm not so sure, so pray that the Lord lead Eric to safety and keep him safe an out of the hands of the government till he can get a fair trial. And if that trial must wait till his day in court before the Lord, so be it, but your prayers for his salvation, if you are not absolutely sure he is saved are necessary as well.

The Lord God of creation, Messiah Yeshua be with you and bless you all.

Amen.

Maybe this will help?


I don't know what it takes to get Christians refocused on ending partial birth abortions and then all abortions. Perhaps this will help.



Jesus warns us in Matthew 18:6:

But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.

Do you perhaps think that He means just the butchers that do the above to babies? Or do you think as I do that He means all those who stand around and let it happen as well? A man whom I love as a brother, Attorney Jay Sekulow, the director of the American Center for Law and Justice, . Is asking us as Christians to sign a letter to our Senators asking them to move forward with the presidents judicial appointments. I would ask you to not lift one finger to help the Bush agenda any further, other than praying for him, till he puts and end to this slaughter back on the front burner where it belongs.

Look, I like the tax cut as much as any, but, while we were working to get that passed, another hundred or more babies were 97% delivered and then murdered. While you're reading this thought or taking the time to sign Jay's letter, another baby is going to end up like the photo above.

I love Jay and I know his heart is in the right place, but, we need to call and end to the murders of babies. We need to stop making the womb the most dangerous place on earth. We need to get the president refocused on priorities that will make Jesus smile, not cry, we need legislation to end abortion. We have been patient long enough, enough babies have died.

The Lord God of Life be with you all.

Amen.

What if Tim McVeigh did repent?


CNN and some of the other media, while having very little credibility, are claiming that Tim McVeigh repented in his last two hours of life and asked for a priest. Now, not being sure of what is involved in the Roman Catholic Last Rites ceremony I can not say for sure that Tim was actually given an opportunity to accept Jesus, but if he did, I'll bet you that he is now one very happy young saint. I would bet that he is just praising and thanking the Lord for what He did on the cross, for Tim had more than most to be forgiven for.

¶ And one of the Pharisees desired Jesus that He would eat with him. And Jesus went into the Pharisee's house, and sat down to meat. And, behold, a woman in the city, which was a sinner, when she knew that Jesus sat at meat in the Pharisee's house, brought an alabaster box of ointment, and stood at His feet behind Him weeping, and began to wash His feet with tears, and did wipe them with the hairs of her head, and kissed His feet, and anointed them with the ointment.

Now when the Pharisee which had bidden Him saw it, he spake within himself, saying, This man, if He were a prophet, would have known who and what manner of woman this is that toucheth Him: for she is a sinner.

And Jesus answering said unto him, Simon, I have somewhat to say unto thee. And he saith, Master, say on.

And Jesus said: There was a certain creditor which had two debtors: the one owed five hundred pence, and the other fifty. And when they had nothing to pay, he frankly forgave them both. Tell me therefore, which of them will love him most?

Simon answered and said, I suppose that he, to whom he forgave most. And He said unto him, Thou hast rightly judged.

And He turned to the woman, and said unto Simon, Seest thou this woman? I entered into thine house, thou gavest me no water for my feet: but she hath washed my feet with tears, and wiped them with the hairs of her head. Thou gavest me no kiss: but this woman since the time I came in hath not ceased to kiss my feet. My head with oil thou didst not anoint: but this woman hath anointed my feet with ointment. Wherefore I say unto thee, Her sins, which are many, are forgiven; for she loved much: but to whom little is forgiven, the same loveth little. And Jesus said unto her, Thy sins are forgiven. Luke 10:36-48 ACPNKJV

Many of you were saved at an early age and unlike McVeigh, forgiven little If Tim McVeigh has been Saved, then he has been forgiven much. So, if Tim has accepted the offer of the Lord, praise God! For even what he did is not worthy of hell, only one thing is worthy of hell and that is rejecting the Lord. If McVeigh did not repent, after claiming to be an agnostic, then he deserves hell for he has denied the living God, Messiah Yeshua. But, if he did truly repent, if he did truly beg the Lord to forgive him and to come into his heart, and if he confessed that to that priest or to someone, then Tim McVeigh is in heaven and he deserves heaven because he did all that is required to be forgiven and to be part of the family of the Lord. What about you?

Don't wait, don't procrastinate, ask the Lord into your heart today.

The Lord be with you all, amen.



Tuesday June 12th and Wednesday June 13th, 2001AD, 6314 AC

One day soon


One day, in the not to distant future, some will find themselves in the mansion of the Lord and others will find themselves in the outer darkness and torment of the lake of fire. For there is no purgatory, no third choice, heaven of hell, that's it, those are the choices. Yesterday we spoke a bit about hell, today I will go a bit further. I want to tell you a bit about the suffering of those who will be in hell and the response to them of this 'Lazarus'.

Try to visualize this if you will, the lake of fire, the final 'resting' place of the unsaved, is absolutely dark, there is no light whatsoever. Heaven on the other hand is lite up by the very presence of God Himself, there will be so much light coming from the throne of God that there will be no need for the sun. Heaven is within, hell is outside the gates. Now, imagine if you would that you are standing outside in the darkness of a night with no moon, on a street with no street lights, it is a bitterly cold January night and you are dressed in just street clothes. You are standing on the street and you are looking into a brightly lite home with a party going on. You can see that they have plenty of light, heat, food and drink, all within are happy, laughing and having a wonderful time. It is obvious that all within are close family for their is only gaiety, no arguments, no fighting, not even a cross word. You could have been part of that family, but you rejected the numerous offers from the head of the family to come in and join them. Now you are outside.

As you stare in, cold and shivering, suffering and starving, you see one man inside, a young man about thirty or so, a man in perfect health, no need for glasses, braces, or anything, for he is one hundred percent perfect, and as you stare at him, he looks out the window, you shudder a bit, even though you know he can not see you, and as you look at him, as he stands there with a warm drink in one hand and a morsel fo food in the other, even though he can not see you, he mouths these words, looking directly at you, "I told you!".

That person on the outside will be all the men and women I have told about Christ who have chosen to reject the Lord and go about their sinful ways, that young man will be me. And I promise you that I will continually remind you of the horror of your choice for all eternity by looking out into that vast wasteland of hell and the lake of fire and while not being able to see you and the torment you're in, I will know you're there and I will remind you that you had the chance to be with me, but that you choose hell.

How do I know?

The Bible tells me so!

Hebrews 9:27 And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:

John 3:3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.

John 3:16,17 &18 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. For God sent not His Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through Him might be saved. He that believeth on Him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

Luke 16:19-26 There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day: And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate, full of sores, And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man's table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores. And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried;

And in hell he who had been the rich man lifted up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame.

But Abraham said, son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented. And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence.

Revelation 21:1-4 ¶ And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people, and God Himself shall be with them, and be their God. And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.

On your own read the rest of the Book of Revelation, see how wonderful heaven will be, see what the judgement will be like and then ask yourself this; will you be with the Lord and me in heaven or will you be on the outside looking in and every once in a while, as you look in, see me look out with a delicious bit of food in the one hand and tipping my wine glass towards you with the other hand, mouth these word, "I told you so!".

It is time to take a stand, it is time to make a choice, who are you going to belong to, God or satan. Your choice, your decision, but keep this in mind, while there are rumors that McVeigh repented in the last moments of his life, I have seen nothing positive on that, but if he didn't, keep this in mind, McVeigh is in hell right now, he is not in hell for the bombing and killing of almost 200 men, women and children, he is in hell for denying the lord Jesus, the Christ!

What about you? Unless you are an abortionist, you can be saved. All you need do is go to the Lord Jesus in prayer and on your knees, acknowledging that He is God, that you are a sinner, that you want Him to take control of your life and that while you are not worthy, you want and beg Him to forgive your sins. And then confess with your mouth that Jesus is indeed the Christ, the Messiah, God Almighty.

Make the right choice, don't wait till the last minute, for that minute may never come, for as satan has locked in the abortionist, he may lock you in as well.

Messiah Yeshua, Christ Jesus be with you all,

If God would grant me but one request


How I wish I could find a way to get the Christian community down on their knees in prayer and up on their feet out evangelizing their communities. So many times I read and hear how watered down folks seem to think hell is, and maybe it is because of that, that so many Christians leave their Christianity at home and say nothing to evangelize anyone. So, if God Almighty were to ask me what He could do for me, I would say to Him: Lord, please show each of Your disciples here on earth what hell is really like. Let them see hell Lord, let them not be in hell, but only see it. Let them view it just long enough for them to realize what their unsaved friends, family and even those they hate are going to spend eternity in, unless someone takes the time to evangelize them, for Lord, I have run out of ways to get folks on their knees in prayers of salvation and on their feet, evangelizing."

That would be my request. For we as Christians have forgotten, it seems, just how bad hell and then the lake of fire are and how long eternity is. Read what the Lord said:

There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day: And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate, full of sores, desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man's table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores.

And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried; And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeing Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame.

But Abraham said, son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receiveded thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented.

And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence.

Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father's house: For I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment.

Abraham saith unto him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them. And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one went unto them from the dead, they will repent. And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead. Luke 16:19-31 KJV

Let us focus on the rich man, notice, he is in burning torment, notice that he can see inside the kingdom of heave, notice that there is no indication that Lazarus can see him. Notice that no help can come to those in the flame. Notice that the rich man can only talk to God, he can't talk to any with him. Notice the words of God, "And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence."

Hell and then the lake of fire are not nice places, they are not places where those who are condemned there will frolic and play with friendly little devils in red suits with funny tails and stubby little horns. No, hell is:

And cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. Matthew 25:30 Outer darkness, how dark do you think that is? It is absolute darkness, it is the 100% absence of any light. It is darker than you can even imagine. Weeping and gnashing of teeth, what makes one weep? What makes on gnash his or her teeth? Pain and suffering, that's what. How painful? Look back at the rich man, he is in burning torment. How bad is that fire? How long will it burn? Look at what the Lord says:

41 For whosoever shall give you a cup of water to drink in my name, because ye belong to Christ, verily I say unto you, he shall not lose his reward.

42 And whosoever shall offend one of these little ones that believe in me, it is better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he were cast into the sea.

43 And if thy hand offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life maimed, than having two hands to go into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched:

44 Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.

45 And if thy foot offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter halt into life, than having two feet to be cast into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched:

46 Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.

47 And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out: it is better for thee to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire:

48 Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. Mark 9:41-48 KJV

I've left the verse numbers in so that you can see how serious the Lord is in letting you know that hell and the lake of fire for on for ever, that it isn't just hot, it is a burning fire. For He says "Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched." Three times the Lord says it, verses 44, 46 & 48. The entire verses are used with just those few words. Hell lasts through the 1000 years following the end of the seven years of tribulation and then comes the eternity of the lake of fire. Verse 43 "...into the fire that never shall be quenched", verse 45 "...into the fire that never shall be quenched", Why did Jesus spend so much time drumming into the heads of His disciples how bad and for how long damnation is? He did it so that they would realize how important it is to pray for the salvation of the unsaved and to get up off their duffs and go and evangelize the world.

For Jesus said:

And He said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. Mark 16:15 KJV

Now, I know that the vast majority of you reading this will say "hmm, he's right, I should do something". But, I also know that you will then go on about your business without giving it another thought. But I also know that if you really understood how bad eternal damnation is and realized that your unsaved family and friends are going there for all eternity. Then you would get up and do something, you would stop worrying about hurting their feelings and start hounding them.

So, my prayer today is: Lord God creator of heaven and earth, if Thy servant has found favor in Thy sight, please grant Thy servant this one petition, I petition Thee Lord to show to all who are Saved hell, not that Thou should let them feel hell Lord, but only that they should see it in all of it's horrors and only long enough to get them to understand both it's reality and it's horrors and to realize that those who are not Born Again will go there and the only thing that can save them is Your Words and that the only way they will hear those words is if someone takes the time to evangelize them.

Thank You Lord and I pray this to Jehovah in the name of His sacred and Holy Son, my Lord and my Master, Messiah Yeshua.

Amen.

Will God hear and grant me this prayer? It depends, it depends on if it is His will or not, for all of my prayers to Him are ended with, Your will be done Lord, not mine by thine. But, if He does, many of you are in for the worst night mare you cannot even imagine. For remember what Jesus said: "into the fire that never shall be quenched: Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched." And the words of the rich man as told by the Lord Himself: And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame. Imagine how horrible it must be, imagine how terrifying that dream showing hell and the lake of fire will be.

The Lord be with you and get you up doing His service today.

Amen.



The weekend of Saturday June 9th and Sunday June 10th, 2001AD, 6314 AC

Feed my sheep...


¶ So when they had dined, Jesus saith to Simon Peter,
Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou Me more than these?
Peter saith unto Him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love Thee. He saith unto him, Feed My lambs.
He saith to him again the second time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my sheep.
He saith unto him the third time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? Peter was grieved because Jesus said unto him the third time, Lovest thou me? And he said unto Him, Lord, Thou knowest all things; Thou knowest that I love Thee. Jesus saith unto him,
Feed my sheep.
John 21:15-17 KJV

Wouldn't you love to have the Lord Jesus say that to you? Wouldn't you love Him to say to you "Feed My sheep"? Well, He has and you can. How, you ask? Are you asking yourself if perhaps I don't mean pack up and head to one of the real heathen countries like the Sudan or Africa, or Iraq, or China or Maine, Massachusetts, New York or California?

That, my brothers, is not what I am suggesting at all. What I'm suggesting is that you help a baby Christian to mature. Is there a baby Christian in your church? Could you spend an hour or two with him each week helping him to study the word of God?

Sometimes we forget that when a man comes to Christ, God does not open his head and give him all of the knowledge of the Bible that very same instant. While we expect them to act like mature Christians the second the get through praying the sinner's prayer, that simply does not happen. As a fruit tree planted today takes years to produce fruit, as a baby child needs months to crawl, years to walk and speak, more years to run and read, so does a baby Christian need time to mature. As you feed the fruit tree and nurse it along, just as your wife nursed your baby, fed him soft food and then hard food, so must a baby Christian be brought along. And how is that to happen? Well, the fruit tree might survive without your caring for it, the baby child undoubtably would not, the Christian baby will, in all probability, never mature without help as well. Some do, but most don't.

¶ The same day went Jesus out of the house, and sat by the sea side. And great multitudes were gathered together unto Him, so that He went into a ship, and sat; and the whole multitude stood on the shore. And Jesus spake many things unto them in parables, saying,

Behold, a sower went forth to sow; And when he sowed, some seeds fell by the way side, and the fowls came and devoured them up: Some fell upon stony places, where they had not much earth: and forthwith they sprung up, because they had no deepness of earth: And when the sun was up, they were scorched; and because they had no root, they withered away. And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprung up, and choked them: But other fell into good ground, and brought forth fruit, some an hundredfold, some sixtyfold, some thirtyfold. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.

And the disciples came, and said unto Him, Why speakest Thou unto them in parables?

And Jesus answered and said unto them,

Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given. For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have more abundance: but whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that he hath. Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand. And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah, which saith,
BY HEARING YE SHALL HEAR, AND SHALL NOT UNDERSTAND; AND SEEING YE SHALL SEE, AND SHALL NOT PERCEIVE: FOR THIS PEOPLE'S HEART IS WAXED GROSS, AND THEIR EARS ARE DULL OF HEARING, AND THEIR EYES THEY HAVE CLOSED; LEST AT ANY TIME THEY SHOULD SEE WITH THEIR EYES, AND HEAR WITH THEIR EARS, AND SHOULD UNDERSTAND WITH THEIR HEART, AND SHOULD BE CONVERTED, AND I SHOULD HEAL THEM.
But blessed are your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for they hear. For verily I say unto you, That many prophets and righteous men have desired to see those things which ye see, and have not seen them; and to hear those things which ye hear, and have not heard them.

Hear ye therefore the parable of the sower.

When any one heareth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth it not, then cometh the wicked one, and catcheth away that which was sown in his heart. This is he which received seed by the way side. But he that received the seed into stony places, the same is he that heareth the word, and anon with joy receiveth it; Yet hath he not root in himself, but dureth for a while: for when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, by and by he is offended. He also that received seed among the thorns is he that heareth the word; and the care of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, choke the word, and he becometh unfruitful. But he that received seed into the good ground is he that heareth the word, and understandeth it; which also beareth fruit, and bringeth forth, some an hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty. Matthew 13:1-23 KJV

Which will the baby Christians in your church become? Will they be devoured, choked ,or flourish? That, my brother, may be up to you. If you take the time and invest the effort in one little one, he may be the next great preacher of the earth. If you ignore him, he may fall by the side and be devoured by the birds of satan's workers.

The Lord God bless you all this weekend, and please pray for the baby Christians of the world, pray that each will have one mature Christian help them by feeding them the word of the Living God, Messiah Yeshua. Pray for the baby Christian in the oval office, keep our president in your prayers, pray for his family and for him. Pray that the Lord will take the distractions away so that he may focus on the elimination of abortion and communism in our country.
Amen.



Thursday June 7th and Friday June 8th, 2001AD, 6314 AC

Rush Limbaugh loves liars!


But only if they are republicans. As long as the man lying is a republican, he should know that good ole Rush will cover him day and night and work unceasingly to make him in to a national hero. And with good reason, for his liberal Methodist upbringing makes him the perfect candidate to love such evil, for do they not serve the same god.

Jesus teaches us in John 8:44

Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.

Let us take a minute to look at two of Rush's favorite lying gods. Ronald Regan, Rush's tin god of the year, never a bad word spoken by the man with the golden mike about this icon of leftist conservatism. Regan ran on a platform of getting rid of two federal agencies, the Departments of Energy and Education. Did he? No he didn't. Did Regan who claimed to be pro-Life lift even one finger to end or limit abortion? No again.

Let's look at another of Rush's tin gods. George Walker Bush, president of these United States. It is day 138 of the current Bush regime, and as you read this, little Johnny is being ripped apart. President Bush doesn't seem to care to much about little John, for after all, John can't vote, and while if his mom allowed him to live, he would be able to in only 18 years and 15 days, for in 15 days Johnny would be born, but today, he is a baby in the womb about to be slaughtered and offered up as a human sacrifice to satan, in the pagan service called Partial Birth Abortion. Like his father and his idol, Ronald Regan, before him, George Walker Bush doesn't care about little Johnny, doesn't care about him any more than Olympia Snowe, Ted Kennedy, Joe Biden, Susan Collins and Rush Limbaugh do. For not one of them will lift a finger or a golden EIB mike to scream about this atrocity. Not one will utter one word in hopes of getting little Johnny a stay of execution.

So, today, 138 days after the president made it clear that he wanted an end to this horrific murder of innocent babies int the womb, little Johnny is about to be killed, cut up and sold for parts, like a junked car. And on Monday June 11th, in the 142nd day of the brutal Bush regime, more people will protest to save the life of mad murderer Timothy McVeigh than will mourn the death of little Johnny and the little girl the abortionist as high priest of baal, is preparing to offer up to satan that day.

Lord, I will not put you in a box by asking you to be kind, I will simply ask You to use whatever means is necessary to wake up president Bush and radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh to the horrors of partial birth abortion. To Jehovah I pray in the name of Yeshua.
Amen.

Whose Fellowship?


If you want to get drunk, you go to a bar. If you want loose women, you go to places where loose women hang out. If you want to hear dirty filthy God demeaning jokes and conversation, you go to places where Christ haters hang out. If you want to be accepted by homosexuals and lesbians you hang around with them.

But where do you go if you want to know God? If you want to rub shoulders with God's people? You go to church of course.

And they continued stedfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers.

God is faithful, by whom ye were called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.

But I say, that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to devils, and not to God: and I would not that ye should have fellowship with devils.

Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?

Praying us with much intreaty that we would receive the gift, and take upon us the fellowship of the ministering to the saints.

And when James, Cephas, and John, who seemed to be pillars, perceived the grace that was given unto me, they gave to me and Barnabas the right hands of fellowship; that we should go unto the heathen, and they unto the circumcision.

And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ:

And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.

For your fellowship in the gospel from the first day until now;

If there be therefore any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any bowels and mercies,

That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death;

That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you, that ye also may have fellowship with us: and truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ.

If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth:

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.
All are KJV

Got a question about any of these verses? Don't know where they are in your bible? Go ask your pastor. Go to your bible study group and ask them to help you find and study these verses. Don't belong to or attend a good Christ based bible preaching church? Go find one, for how can you be a good witness for the Lord, if you insist on ignoring His people and His commands? How can you give strength to and receive strength from the Body of Christ, if you refuse to be around the Body of Christ?

The Lord Yeshua be with you all.
Amen

Boys; why you need to marry a Christian virgin.


Today's thought is for young men between the ages of 12 and marriage. Guys, I want you to think about your future wife and your future family. But first let's go back a bit in your memory if we can. When you were two or three, who taught you how to walk, who changed your diapers, who softly sang you to sleep? What did she sing? Did your mom sing songs about drunks and girls who sleep around? Or did she sing songs about Jesus and salvation? Which type of music do you want sung to your kids? Marry a non believer and she will sing country and western and worse, marry a Born Again Christian virgin and she will sing songs of Jesus to your little ones.

When you were four or five, who was there for you when you fell and skinned your knee, got bit by a bug, stung by a bee or had the measles? Who was it that cared for you? When you had the measles, what kind of books did your mom read to you? What kind of television shows did she let you watch while you recovered on the couch? What kind of stories do you want your wife to read to your kids? The stories of modern drama or the stories of the Bible? Marry a heathen and your kids will be watching soap operas and looking at the national enquirer. Marry a Born Again Christian who had enough personal dignity and love of the Lord to stay a virgin till your wedding night and she'll read them stories from the Bible, she will spend enough time with them that they won't need television as a baby sitter.

When the time arrives for your children to go to school, do you want them sent to the public school system or do you want them taught at home? Get serious and think about it, do you really want your babies in that public school? Think about what you hear and see in the halls, think about what you hear and see in the classroom. Do you want your babies subjected to that garbage? Marry a secular woman who said yes the second night you went out with her or before and you can expect her to dump your kids in the local kiddie kennel the day after their turn two months and into pre school and the public school system before her stomach even goes down. Marry a young Christian lady who has so much pride in herself and love of the Lord that she refused you till your wedding night and you have a lady that will love and home school you kids.

Do you want your wife wearing string bikinis? Do you want your daughter on the pill by the age of 13? Do you want your son with an earring at 5? Marry a secular liberal and you can bet she'll flaunt her body, and dress your daughter like a tramp. Marry a Born Again Believing and confessing Christian and you'll have a woman who saves her charms for you, daughters who blush at the idea of appearing mostly naked in public and sons who will not mark their bodies.

Want your kids using drugs? Want them wearing black and hanging at the video arcade? Want your daughters tuning into the planned parenthood site for teens? Marry a secular heathen. Want your kids innocent, honest, in love with their families, intelligent, well educated and proud of you while making you proud of them? Then marry a woman who will teach them God's book, who will teach them God's rules, who will teach them to love, honor and respect their parents.

¶ Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies. The heart of her husband doth safely trust in her, so that he shall have no need of spoil. She will do him good and not evil all the days of her life.

She seeketh wool, and flax, and worketh willingly with her hands. She is like the merchants' ships; she bringeth her food from afar. She riseth also while it is yet night, and giveth meat to her household, and a portion to her maidens. She considereth a field, and buyeth it: with the fruit of her hands she planteth a vineyard. She girdeth her loins with strength, and strengtheneth her arms.

She perceiveth that her merchandise is good: her candle goeth not out by night. She layeth her hands to the spindle, and her hands hold the distaff. She stretcheth out her hand to the poor; yea, she reacheth forth her hands to the needy. She is not afraid of the snow for her household: for all her household are clothed with scarlet. She maketh herself coverings of tapestry; her clothing is silk and purple.

Her husband is known in the gates, when he sitteth among the elders of the land. She maketh fine linen, and selleth it; and delivereth girdles unto the merchant. Strength and honour are her clothing; and she shall rejoice in time to come. She openeth her mouth with wisdom; and in her tongue is the law of kindness. She looketh well to the ways of her household, and eateth not the bread of idleness.

Her children arise up, and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praiseth her. Many daughters have done virtuously, but thou excellest them all. Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain: but a woman that feareth the LORD, she shall be praised. Give her of the fruit of her hands; and let her own works praise her in the gates. Proverbs 31:10-31 KJV

Isn't the lady the writer of proverbs describing what you really want for a wife?

In closing let me just add this, if you have read this, you, are most likely, A Born Again Christian. What do you have in common with a heathen? Let's look at what Paul says:

Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? What concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel?

And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you, And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty. 2 Corinthians 6:14-18 KJV Boys I know Britney Spears looks good, I know that the girls who dress like her are appealing, but do you really want them raising your kids? And worse, do you want them killing your kid(s) while they are trapped in their wombs? Keep this in mind, Christian virgins don't have abortions, virgins don't get aids, don't get sexually transmitted diseases and don't have any reason to murder their babies while they sleep peacefully in the supposed safety of their mothers wombs. Boys, the Bush girls are famous, they are very attractive, but would you really want either of them teaching your daughters how to be ladies? And guys. Do your future wife a favor, keep your zipper up till your wedding night and be strong and help her to stay chaste for you. For her virginity is your wedding gift from God.

I will pray for you and her, I will pray that God will give you the strength to hang in there till the lady the Lord has prepared for you comes into your life. God be with and bless you kids, for you are the future of this nation and this world.

Amen.

Corinthians 1&2 marriage


In Paul's letters to the Corinthians, we find some real pearls dealing with marriage. We find a warning for believers contemplating marriage to a non believer, to bad Samson didn't read this before he went off looking for a wife.

Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? What concord hath Christ with Belial? What part hath he that believeth with an infidel? And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols?

For ye are the temple of the living God; and as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you, And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty. 2 Corinthians 6:14-18 KJV

While this deals with all of your relationships and not just that of marriage, it is especially important to those considering marrying or going in to partnership with a non believer. When two believers have problems, all a preacher need do is take out the Word of God, the Holy Bible and counseling is really quite easy. But to the heathen, the Word of God means nothing and to the Believer, the word of secular counseling means naught.

But what if, like Sampson, the Word of God is ignored and the Believer does marry a heathen? What then?

... If any brother hath a wife that believeth not, and she be pleased to dwell with him, let him not put her away. And the woman which hath an husband that believeth not, and if he be pleased to dwell with her, let her not leave him.

For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband: else were your children unclean; but now are they holy.

But if the unbelieving depart, let him depart. A brother or a sister is not under bondage in such cases: but God hath called us to peace. For what knowest thou, O wife, whether thou shalt save thy husband? or how knowest thou, O man, whether thou shalt save thy wife? 1 Corinthians 7:13-16 KJV So, once a man or woman who is a Born Again, washed in the Blood of the Lamb, a true Christian, gives in to his or her emotions and marries a non believer, the end of the world has not come. But, because the unbeliever is not occupied by the Holy Spirit, something serious is missing in that marriage that may result in the believer being divorced. You see, a wife is commanded by God to be obedient to her husband, the husband is commanded by God to be willing to suffer and die for his family. The non believer is not bound by either of these commands.

Often times a heathen will ask, "You mean a wife has to obey her husband regardless?" The answer of course is "Yes." The next thing out of the non believers mouth is, "What if he tells her to prostitute herself or rob a bank?" Now, what is hard for the non believer to understand is that a Born Again Christian could not do that, for within him is the Holy Spirit and while the Spirit does allow us freedom of will in 99.9% of the cases, there are some things that He will simply not let or allow us to do. And He can and will prevent us from doing something that will harm our wives, for when we accepted the Lord, we gave ourselves and our freewill to Him.

So, while a non believer is content to live with the Christian, all is well and the Christian should live with and put up with the heathen, but when the heathen ask something of the Christian that crosses God's Word, then it is time for the non believer to take a hike. I believe that in this case the divorce can be filled by either party. But a warning to you who are unevenly yoked, do not leave for light and transient reasons. For once you have left that marriage, if you were a Born Again Believer before the divorce, you can not get remarried. Do you understand what I am telling you? Before you marry a heathen, remember, until you are a widow or widower, you are married in the eyes of God and you are not to get remarried. If on the other hand, the non believer sees another he or she wishes to marry, he or she is not bound by the Word of God, so he or she can get remarried. For what difference does it make? The non believer is going to hell anyhow. So what if he or she has twenty marriages. But, for you the believer, you as a Christian, are bound to the Word of God.

And if that heathen with twenty marriages under his or her belt comes to the Lord afterwards, well, then they are new creature and all their past sins are forgiven and from that time forward they are under the command of the Spirit and the Word of God.

And Dad's you had best make sure your sons and daughters understand this, for if your kids are Christ, then they can marry only once.

There is but one exception to that rule, let us read what the Lord has to say about divorce:

But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery. Matthew 5:32 KJV

Don't read between the lines, it is safer to err on the side of caution than it is to err on the side of spitting on ignoring the Word of God.

The Lord be with you all, and may He bless you and make you a blessing to one other this day.
Amen.



Weekend June 2nd & 3rd, 2001AD, 6314 AC

Guilty! Guilty! Guilty!


Oh how my email, voice mail and conversations ring with the condemnation of one by another. "He did this ...", or "he did that ...", "he should be more this ..." or "he should be more that ...". Guys, for the next week, let us all try to do just one thing. Let us all try to look at ourselves before we criticize another. Let us take a moment to look at our own lives before we decide how another must live. I'm not for one moment suggesting that you not be judgmental, you should and you must judge others, but judge them by the same standards that you judge yourself.

Turn with me to Matthew chapter seven, five of the most oft quoted yet most ignored verses in the bible are contained in the first verses of Matthew seven.

And Jesus said to them Judge not, that ye be not judge, for with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: And with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.

And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but consider not the beam that is in thine own eye? Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye?

Thou hypocrite!

First cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye. Matthew 7:1-5 KJV

What is the Lord saying? He is telling us that we are not to judge unless we judge others by the same standard that we know God will judge us. He is telling us that the way we deal with other Born Again Believers is the way He will deal with us.

He is then asking us, how it is that we can judge the little sins of others, while we have large major sin in our own lives, He further ask us how we can even see the little sin in our brothers and sisters in the Lord's lives when we so easily ignore the large sin in our own lives.

Jesus then makes an accusation of His own against us who are so easily judgmental of others, He calls us HYPOCRITES! Not a good name to be called, but GOD ALMIGHTY.

It is the weekend, take some time and look at your own lives and at those whose lives you criticize. Before you condemn the actions of another, whether it is president Bush and his somewhat rowdy daughters, of John Ashcroft and his handling of the communist that make up thirty plus seats in the US Congress. Put yourself first in their shoes, then judge them as you would want God to judge you if you were in their positions. Wives, before you tell your husband what he should do or shouldn't do, how he should run his bushiness or deal with the neighbor, look in your own closet. Ask yourself honestly just how you would do it if you were the one who had to address the problem.

Commanders and school officials, before you condemn, are you condemning based upon God's law or upon the rules of political correctness, how would you have reacted under the same set of circumstances and how do you think Jesus is looking at the actions that you are now judging?

And your pastor, if you doubt he was called by God to lead your church, go find another church. For the pastor is the head of the local congregation and God will hold him responsible, but you are commanded to obey him as your children are commanded to obey you.

Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves: for they watch for your souls, as they that must give account, that they may do it with joy, and not with grief: for that is unprofitable for you. Hebrews 13:17 KJV

God Himself will be the judge of every preacher, He will judge us differently and more strictly then He judges others,. So, don't make our lives more difficult, don't be a stumbling block to your pastor, he has a heavy enough load to carry and his job is difficult enough job as it is.

Bottom line, judge others the way you know you will be judged by God, not the way you would like to be judged by God. How do you know how God will judge you? Read His book, read your bible. For in His book, your bible, you will find all of His rules, the ways He wants you to live and that is the standard by which He will judge you and the standard by which you should judge others.

God is not going to read Benjamin Spooks book to try and understand how you raised your children. He is not going to read marriage counseling books written by devote homosexuals, lesbians and politically correct heathens to try to understand where you went wrong in your marriage. He is going to judge you by the way He instructs us to live in His book, your bible.

And this week, please keep in prayer those men serving at the bottom of the ocean, those men who sit for six months at the bottom of the sea in dead silence waiting for the order to come to either come home or launch enough missiles to take a country the size of China and turn it into a nuclear waste land. Keep the Captain and crew of the subs called boomers in your prayers.

The Lord God Yeshua be with you all, may He bless you and teach you the patience it takes to be a child of God, a Christian.

Ahem.

If you're in command, you'd better think twice!


At the same time came the disciples unto Jesus, saying, Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?

And Jesus called a little child unto Him, and set him in the midst of them, and said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven. Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven. And whoso shall receive one such little child in My name receiveth Me. Now, watch the but, because it is the but, you had best be worried about.

But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in Me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea. Woe unto the world because of offences! for it must needs be that offences come; but woe to that man by whom the offence cometh! Matthew 18:1-7 KJV

If you are an E-5 or above, a teacher, principal, guidance councilor, superintendent of schools, a doctor or a nurse, you fall into the category of one in command, ad you had best read and heed the words above and below.

I've said this before and I am going to say it again. There are two things our government does that can and will cause a ton of those in command to rot in hell. And let me tell you something, while you're rotting in hell, you'll be able to look across the gulf and see me enjoying myself and laughing at you. And that will be through all eternity! For you see there is no purgatory, only heaven and hell.

Now let's look at the two offences that our government foists upon His children that will cause so many NCO's Officers and those in the public schools to rot in hell throughout all eternity.

First let's start with you career military, when you teach a youngster within your command that sniping is anything other than first degree premeditated murder, you are lying to that lad and are causing him to be led astray. When you say to him, "it isn't a man, it is the enemy". You are lying, for a target at 900 yards out has no way of defending himself or fighting back.. When you lie in wait at that range, line up, squeeze the trigger and kill, you have committed first degree premeditated murder and that my friends will cause that young man and you to go to hell. Unless you find Christ and accept that which He has done for you.

You in the public schools do even worse, for you tell little girls and little boys that it is alright to spit in Gods eye by becoming a homosexual, you tell little girls that is nothing but a mass of tissue as you lead them to the abortionist. And if you think you'll get a wink of the eye and a nod from the Lord on the day of judgement, you had best read again those words of the Lord above. For there will be no cold days in hell, there will be no hell freezing over and it will be a cold day in hell indeed when you'll see your way clear to leave it. When you teach a child in your care to disobey the works of the Lord your God, you had best understand that you will be held accountable. Look again:

But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in Me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea. Woe unto the world because of offences! for it must needs be that offences come; but woe to that man by whom the offence cometh! But, who ever leads one of My little ones astray, well, it is better for him or her to drowned in the ocean than what will happened to him or her at judgement. The Lord goes on to say, that these offences to little ones will come, but woe unto him or her that does it. If you think you can lead a child astray through political correctness, you best guess again. If you think you can turn a 17 or 18 year old into a cold blooded premeditated murderer and walk away free, you are wrong. If you think you can teach a young girl to kill her baby and be held unaccountable by God, you are wrong, dead wrong.

The Lord has allowed you to be put over them to do what is right in His sight, to teach them the things that will get them into heaven. When you choose to lead them to damnation, you are first leading yourself there. Think about it.

Lord open their eyes, teach them to come to you. Lord i ask you to give us another chance, I ask you to give us revival and one more chance, I ask this of Jehovah in the name of Yeshua amen.

Pray for ... .


When ever you speak to God, when ever you invoke the name of the Lord, when ever you call upon the Lord, in demand, in beseeching or in question, you are praying. When your teenage daughter cries, because, "you don't understand" and you look up to heaven, either with your eyes or with just your heart, and say, "Lord help me", you are praying. When your teenage son's heart is broken and he is convinced that no girl will ever like him, and you look to heaven and say "Lord help me." you are praying.

When you are listening to the news, either the communist news network, one of the communist front organizations on the major media or the truer more honest news of shortwave radio and you hear mention of to days headlines. And you look to heaven and say "Lord help us." or "Lord help the president and attorney general to do what is right." you are praying. When you drive by a planned parenthood abortion mill and say "Lord, please do unto them what they are doing to Your babies." You are praying. But do you follow these prayers up with the prayer that is always answered? The 4 words that Jesus spoke so often, Thy will be done ?

After this manner therefore pray ye:

Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen. Matthew 6:9-13 KJV

Let us look at the Lord's prayer again, but this time in the language more in use today.

¶ Use this guideline to pray:

Our Father who is in heaven, Holy and Sacred is Thy name. Father, let Thy kingdom come. Let Thy will be done here on and throughout all the earth, just as it is in heaven. Father, please, give us this day our daily bread, not the bread that we eat only, but the most important bread, the bread of Thy word, for as You have taught us Lord, Man does not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes out of the mouth of God. Matthew 4:4 KJV

Father, please forgive our sins, oh Lord forgive me for the things I have said, the things I have done, the things I have thought and even those things I have dreamt that have offended Thee, Lord, please help me to forgive those who have done things to harm me, help me to forgive all whom I have anything against. Forgive me Lord as I forgive others.

Lord please protect me and mine form the temptations of this world, and keep us safe from satan, his minions, his ilk and those who serve him knowingly and unknowingly. Deliver us and protect us from evil: For, Lord God creator of all things, This is Your kingdom, and all the power, and the glory, are Yours for ever. Amen.

How important is it to add those 4 little words? As Jesus was coming within a day of His crucifixion, He prayed this prayer: O my Father, if this cup may not pass away from Me, except I drink it, Thy will be done. Matthew 26:42 KJV What Jesus was saying is Father, if there is no other way, but that I be crucified, Your will be done, not mine. For His being a man, the Lord know how painful His crucifixion would be.

Did not God create all things? Does that not include you, me and all man kind? Were we not created in His image? Since we are His creations, should we not serve and worship Him? Should we not be doing His will? If so, why are we hesitant to add in those four little words, Thy will be done.

I ask the Lord this very day, to in your lives and for our government, let and cause His will be done. For when His will is done all is perfect all is right and all is as it should be.

Amen

Better than a promotion!


Yesterday we looked at a few of those things we as Christian soldiers should concentrate on. Today let us take a moment to look at the next two verses of Hebrews 13 and see a bit of the rewards.

Marriage is honorable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge. If you were to read just Leviticus chapter eighteen, you would understand what God is telling you here. He is telling you that no matter what you and your wife do, sexually, it is all right in the eyes of God. But, any form of sex outside of marriage is an abomination in the eyes of the Lord. Skip ahead in Leviticus to chapter 20 and read verse 18. Notice that God is saying that if two men do sexually what a man is allowed to do with his wife, they should both be subject to capital punishment. God is telling us that the sex that two men or two women can do together is worthy of death when done by two of the same sex, but, is allowable and acceptable when done by a husband and a wife.

Let your conversation be without covetousness; Don't speak about how you wish you had this or that, praise God for what He has given you, use your voice to thank Him, not complain to some other of what you wish you had.

and be content with such things as ye have: Don't be envious, not envious of the things your friends have, your brothers have, or that any others have. Be happy with the things the Lord has given to you.

And what is the reward we receive for abiding by and taking our orders from God? for He hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee. Hebrew 13:4&5 KJV

May the Lord God Yeshua bless you all this day. Pray for our brothers and sisters, pray for those who request prayer and pray for God's people who have not asked by God knows are in need. The Lord give you all peace and let Him lead you all in the direction He would have you go. And try to keep in mind those baby Christians, we sometimes expect so much from them. Forgetting that a baby needs to walk before he can run, crawl before he can walk and just lay there and make funny little noises before he can even crawl.

And one last thing in closing, pray for the children that are so despised by their parents, that their parents send them to public schools. If you think they are not being influenced by the forces of evil, ask yourself this, why are the homosexuals and lesbians trying so hard and working so diligently to implement their agenda and their lifestyle in the kindergartens and first grades? It is because if they can get the kids at that age thinking along those lines at that age, they will be easy pray when they get just a bit older. Pray to God for those kids. For without your prayers and the Lords intervention, those kids will be spoiled and destroyed at a young age. Keep your children at home, homeschool them and if not then send them to Christian Schools, not parochial schools, Christian Schools. You would not send your Christ believing kids to a school run by Muslims and teaching Islam, so why would you put your kids in the grasp of the Roman Catholic cult?

God be with and bless you all,
amen.

Veterans: Attention!


Some time ago, you were in the military, or you are currently serving. But in order to be called a veteran, you must be in or have been in the Armed Forces of these United States. While in, you served your country. Now, it is time to serve Christ! So, let us look at your marching orders.

¶ Let brotherly love continue. Love one another even as Christ has loved you. A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. John 13:34 KJV
Look not for the faults of one another, but instead look for the strengths of one another. Judge not, that ye be not judged. For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again. And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye? Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye? Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye. Matthew 7:1-5 KJV
This is not for the general public, but for those who are Saved, those who are your brothers and sisters in the Lord. I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them which thou hast given me; for they are thine. John 17:9 KJV

Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares. When a stranger comes to you, looking for help or not, help them.
¶ And the LORD appeared unto Abraham in the plains of Mamre: and he sat in the tent door in the heat of the day; And he lift up his eyes and looked, and, lo, three men stood by him: and when he saw them, he ran to meet them from the tent door, and bowed himself toward the ground, and said, My Lord, if now I have found favor in Thy sight, pass not away, I pray thee, from thy servant: Let a little water, I pray you, be fetched, and wash Your feet, and rest yourselves under the tree: And I will fetch a morsel of bread, and comfort ye your hearts; after that ye shall pass on: for therefore are ye come to your servant.

And they said, So do, as thou hast said. And Abraham hastened into the tent unto Sarah, and said, Make ready quickly three measures of fine meal, knead it, and make cakes upon the hearth. And Abraham ran unto the herd, and fetched a calf tender and good, and gave it unto a young man; and he hasted to dress it. And he took butter, and milk, and the calf which he had dressed, and set it before them; and he stood by them under the tree, and they did eat. Genesis 18: 1-8 KJV
Not only should you help them physically, your help should include witnessing, for your primary job here on earth is to Preach the Gospel to every creature. Mark 16:15 KJV

Remember them that are in bonds, as bound with them; and them which suffer adversity, as being yourselves also in the body.
Visit those in the prisons, those who are sick, those who are in pain.
¶ When the Son of man shall come in His glory, and all the holy angels with Him, ¶ When the Son of man shall come in His glory, and all the holy angels with Him, then shall He sit upon the throne of His glory: And before Him shall be gathered all nations: and He shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats: And He shall set the sheep on His right hand, but the goats on the left. Then shall the King say unto them on His right hand, Come, ye blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: For I was an hungred, and ye gave Me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave Me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took Me in: Naked, and ye clothed Me: I was sick, and ye visited Me: I was in prison, and ye came unto Me.

Then shall the righteous answer Him, saying, Lord, when saw we Thee an hungred, and fed Thee? Or thirsty, and gave Thee drink? When saw we Thee a stranger, and took Thee in? Or naked, and clothed Thee? Or when saw we Thee sick, or in prison, and came unto Thee? And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these My brethren, ye have done it unto Me. Matthew 25:31-40 KJV

So, as when you were in the service, you arose prepared to do your duty for country, let you now arise and be prepared to do your duty to GOD. For as you worked to earn rank in the military, how much more important is it to work your way up in the ranks of those looking to enter the kingdom of God. For while it is a zillion times better to be a horse fly in the stable of the Lord Yeshua than it is to be the CEO of hell, what you do here on earth during this life, will determine your status in heaven throughout all eternity.

The Lord God be with you all and let us all strive to challenge the Apostles in our working for the Lord.

Amen.



Thursday May 24th through The Memorial Day weekeend, 2001AD, 6314 AC

Rest.


Then cometh Jesus to His disciples, and saith unto them, sleep on now, and take your rest: behold, the hour is at hand, and the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners. Matthew 26:45 KJV

And the apostles gathered themselves together unto Jesus, and told Him all things, both what they had done, and what they had taught. And Jesus said unto them, Come ye yourselves apart into a desert place, and rest a while: for there were many coming and going, and they had no leisure so much as to eat. Mark 6:30&31 KJV

I am going to heed the words of the Word and take a rest. My wife and I are going camping for the weekend. So, there will be no thoughts posted until next Tuesday morning, May 29th.

I do pray you will all have a safe and blessed Memorial Day weekend. I pray that on this weekend you will take a moment to ponder on what those men we celebrate fought and died for. They did not die for communism, socialism, fascism or so as to see their posterity enslaved with taxes, their grand children and great grandchildren murdered in the womb. They didn't die so that their granddaughters could put on a uniform, risk their lives and defend their grandsons.

They died so that we could continue to reap the benefits of a free society governed by the people through elected public servants. Not homosexuals, lesbians, abortionist, communist sympathizers, and members of the courts who would undermine our God given and Constructional rights.

Take a moment this weekend and think about what you would fight and die for. For that is probably what those, we remember on Memorial Day, whose time in the military and the militias fought and died for.

The Lord be with you and take your rest my brothers, rest while you can, for as the Lord has told us, the time is short. Oh come soon Lord Jesus, come soon.

Amen.



Tuesday and Wednesday May 22nd and 23rd, 2001AD, 6314 AC

The three Rs.


No, I'm not talking about the three Rs of education, I'm taking about the three Rs that really matter. The three Rs that matter to those who are Pro-Christ, pro-life, pro-constitution, pro-freedom, pro-gun and are both proud to be American Christian patriots and willing to accept the risk and responsibilities that come with our God given and constitutional right. And, no, the three Rs are not rights, risk and responsibility.

The are Rapture, Revival or Revolution. As I watch the happenings in Israel, I can not help but think that we are very close to one of the three R's. For if Israel is to be free, either God or the US must get involved. As it stands now, the media, the UN and most of our politicians are so blinded by satan, that they do not realize that the Arabs can stop the war anytime they want to by simply stopping their attacks, for which Israel rightly, retaliates for. But, the media, the UN and the blinded heathens in the House and Senate, and even in the Cabinet of the President, can not see that, all they see is the destruction Israel does when they retaliate for the murder of their citizens.

So, how does it end? Do we send a special envoy over and all will be well? Do we copy the Carter/Clinton idiot behavior of ‘shuttle diplomacy', at the expensive of Israel?

No, we turn to God and let Him be our guide. At this time I am convinced that the Lord will guide us, by causing one of the three R's to happen. If He Raptures His church, well, the book of Revelation tells us the story of what happens in that case, praise God, come soon Lord Jesus.

But, what if the Lord does not Rapture His church at this time and Israel starts to be overrun? Then in order to find the support within these United States to go and fight and support Israel, the Lord would have to cause a great Revival. For it is only the Born Again Christian that is so immersed in the Bible that he understands that Israel does not belong to the Jews, it belongs to God Almighty and that He has promised it to His Son. Why Revival? Well, look around you, look how small the Born Again Christian community is at this time, look at how weak we are politically. Want to see how small a group we really are? Look at the difference between the enrollment of the public schools and that of the combined Christian schools and home schooled population. No truly Born Again believer would send his or her child to public school. No true believer would endanger their children to the extent that putting them in a public school does. So, solid, real Revival becomes a must and that only happens at the direction of and the hand of the Holy Spirit.

But, what if President Bush were to die and a non believer like Vice President Cheney took over? What if then President Cheney were to make the likes of Secretary of State Powell his Vice President? Would we then come down on the side of the Arabs and not those the Lord has entrusted to care for His Son's inheritance? How would we counter that, other than by Revolution?

Keep your eyes on Israel my brothers and sisters, because we are seeing the end times right before our eyes. Not on CNN, not on the petey jennings news hour brought to you by a little rat that owns people traps on both coast, Europe and Japan. No, find a good Israeli news station like Artuz 7, and watch prophecy unfold.

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem and pray for the safety of President Bush and continued Bible studies done with him by Attorney General John Ashcroft.

Artuz 7 real uncensored news from the Middle East

¶ Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love thee. Psalm 122:6 KJV

If we as a nation and a people pray for the peace of Jerusalem, we will show our love for God's land and He will reward us, by prospering us as a nation and as a people.

The Lord God of heaven and earth be with you, may He bless you as you have been a blessing to me, may He keep you safe and may He protect and guide you. May He make you a blessing to one other this day. And may He help you to remove your children from the public school arena. You would not send them to Somalia or China to be missionaries at eight and twelve years old, do you think the public schools are any less dangerous for their Christian walk and upbringing?

Amen.

The Peacemakers


Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.

Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.

Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you. Matthew 5:5,9-12

Who are these meek that shall inherit the world? Who are these peacemakers that God shall call His children?

Let's take a minute to think about what is happening in the Sudan. The Muslim government, through the use of it's Muslim troops, are as you read this thought, rounding up Christians girls and selling them into slavery as prostitutes and concubines. These little girls are on average about 8 years old. Likewise they are abducting little Christian boys and attempting to convert them to Islam by schooling, torture and if unable to succeed, killing them. Christian adults are routinely simply tortured and murdered, usually in front of their families. Think they qualify, in the eyes of the Lord, to be called the meek? I do, I think these Christians and others world wide that can not fight back, not by lack of will, but by lack of weaponry and training are the meek the Lord is referring to. And I have no doubt that the Lord will open His arms to receive them.

But, who are the peacemakers? Are they the UN, the US, NATO, and other governments and governmental bodies who refuse to rescue these Christians? Who refuse to arm them?

Or are they those brave souls who against overwhelming odds are buying back these Christians slaves and returning them to their families? Or perhaps they are the few, the brave, the honorable who are smuggling in arms against unbelievable odds and at even more unbelievable risk to themselves, arming, training and fighting with those persecuted Christians?

Vice President Dick Cheney has kind of chastised Israel for fighting back against Muslim extremists terrorist, he like so many others seems intent on backing the murderers and leaving the victims unarmed and defenseless. I would ask you to pray for the Bush Cheney administration, pray that they will support Israel in it's fight for life against the Muslims and support, arm, train and fight for the Christians in the Sudan, China, Egypt and throughout the rest of the world where they are being regularly sent to death, slavery and the body parts shops.

May the Lord be with and keep safe His Peacemakers and may He give strength, courage and peace to His Meek. And may the Lord bless you and make you a blessing to another this very day.

Amen.

I need the help of a few doctor volunteers. I have recently received pictures of aborted babies in China and need medical verification that they are most likely real babies and not dolls. Please be aware, these are not easy pictures to look at, they involve cannibalism.email link



Weekend of May 19th and 20th, 2001AD, 6314 AC

Healing verses


I seem to spend more and more time in hospitals with brothers who are extremely ill. Cancer and all sorts of serious and vicious infections seem to be on the rise. Steve in Kentucky suggested the below as healing verses, and I agree, this is a list all should print out and have at hand.

Attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings. Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart. For they are medicine unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh. Proverbs 4:20-22

For I will restore health unto thee, and I will heal thee of thy wounds, saith the Lord. Jeremaih 30:17

Who forgiveth all thine iniquities and healeth all thy diseases. Psalms 103:3

Do not fear; for I am with you: Do not anxiously look about you; for I am your God: I will strengthen you; surely, I will help you; surely will uphold you with My righteous right hand. Isaiah 41:10

Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be strong. 1Corinthians 16:13

If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of the Lord thy God, and wilt do that which is right in His sight, and wilt give ear to His commandments, and keep all His statutes, I will put none of these diseases upon thee, which I have brought upon the Egyptians: for I am the Lord that healeth thee. Exodus 15:26

I. even I, am He that comforteth you: who art thou, that thou shouldest be afraid or a man that shall die, and the son of man which shall be made of grass. Isaiah 51:12

Come, and let us return unto the Lord: for He hath come, and He will heal us; He hath smitten and He will bind us up. Hosea 6:1

Blessed be the LORD, that hath given rest unto His people Israel, according to all that He promised: there hath not failed one word of all His good promise, which He promised by the hand of Moses His servant. 1Kings 8:56

He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds. Psalms 147:3

Oh Lord, thou hast brought up my soul from the grave: thou hast kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit. Psalms 30:3

Heal me, O Lord, and I shall be healed; save me, and I shall be saved: for thou art my praise. Jeremiah l7:l4

Whom have I in heaven but thee And there is none upon earth that I desire beside thee. My flesh and my heart faileth: but God is the strength of my heart, and my portion forever. Psalms 73:25-26

For all the promises of God in him are yea, and in Him Amen, unto the glory of God by us. 2Cointhains 1:20

Beloved, if our heart does not condemn us, we have confidence before God, And whatever we ask, we receive from Him, because we keep His commandments, and do the things that are pleasing in His sight.
