Discipleship Part 3

We now move to The Words of Beloved Almighty Lord Jesus Christ on "Discipleship" in "The Gospel According To Luke"

Luke 6:19-38:

19.) "And the whole multitude sought to touch him: for there went virtue out of him, and he healed them all."

20.) "And he lifted up his eyes on his disciples, and said, Blessed be ye poor: for yours is the kingdom of God."

21.) "Blessed are ye that hunger now: for ye shall be filled (satisfied). Blessed are ye that weep now: for ye shall laugh."

22.) "Blessed are ye, when men shall hate you, and when they shall separate you from their company, and shall reproach you, and cast out your name as evil, for the Son of man's sake."

23.) "Rejoice ye in that day, and leap for joy: for, behold, your reward is great in heaven: for in the like manner did their father's unto the prophets."

24.) "But woe unto you that are rich! for ye have received your consolation."

25.) "Woe unto you that are full! for ye shall hunger. Woe unto you that laugh now! for ye shall mourn and weep."

26.) "Woe unto you, when all men shall speak well of you! for so did their fathers to the false prophets."

27.) "But I say unto you which hear, Love your enemies, do good to them which hate you,"

28.) "Bless them that curse you, and pray for them which despitefully use you (mistreat you)."

29.) "And unto him that smiteth thee on the one cheek offer also the other; and him that taketh away thy cloak forbid not to take thy coat also."

30.) "Give to every man that asketh of thee, and of him that taketh away thy goods ask them not again."

31.) "And as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise."

32.) "For if ye love them which love you, what thank (blessing or grace) have ye? for sinners also love those that love them."

33.) "And if ye do good to them which do good to you, what thank (blessing or grace) have ye? for sinners also do even the same."

34.) "And if ye lend to them (only to them) of whom ye hope to receive, what thank have ye? for sinners also lend to sinners, to receive as much again."

35.) "But love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again (no personal gain); and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the children of the Highest: for he is kind unto the unthankful and to the evil."

36.) "Be ye therefore merciful, as your Father also is merciful."

37.) "Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive (forgive others), and ye shall be forgiven:"

38.) "Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over shall men give unto your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal (use in measuring anything) it shall be measured to you again."

Luke 6:45-49:

45.) "A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil: for of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh."

46.) "And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?"

47.) "Whosoever cometh to me, and heareth my sayings, and doeth them, I will shew you to whom he is like:"

48.) "He is like a man which built an house, and digged deep, and laid the foundation on a rock: and when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently (heavily) upon that house, and could not shake it: for it was founded upon a rock."

49.) "But he that heareth, and doeth not, is like a man that without a foundation built an house upon the earth; against which the stream did beat vehemently, and immediately it fell; and the ruin of that was great."

Luke 9:20-26

20.) "He said unto them, But whom say ye that I am? Peter answering said, The Christ of God."

21.) "And he straitly charged them (strictly instructed) and commanded them to tell no man that thing;"

22.) "Saying, The Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be slain, and be raised up the third day."

23.) "And he said to them all, If any man come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me."

24.) "For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: but whosoever will lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it."

25.) "For what is a man advantaged (better off), if he gain the whole world and lose himself, or be cast away?"

26.) "For whosoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words, of him shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he shall come in his own glory, and in his Father's, and of the holy angels."

Luke 12:29-32:

29.) "And seek not ye what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink, neither be ye of doubtful mind."

30.) "For all these things do the nations of the wold seek after: and your Father knoweth (realizes) that ye have need of these things."

31.) "But rather seek ye the kingdom of God; and all these tings shall be added unto you."

Luke 12:34-38:

34.) "For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also."

35.) "Let your loins be girded about, and your lights burning;"

36.) "And ye yourselves like unto men that wait for their lord, when he will return from the wedding (marriage feast); that when he cometh and knocketh, they may open unto him immediately."

37.) "Blessed are those servants, whom the lord when he cometh shall find watching: verily (truly) I say unto you, that he shall gird himself, and make them to sit down to meat, and will come forth and serve them."

Luke 14:26-27:

26.) "If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple."

27.) "And whosoever doth not bear his cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple."

Luke 14:33-35:

33.) "So likewise, whosoever he be of you that forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple."

34.) "Salt is good: but if the salt have lost his savour (taste), wherewith shall it be seasoned?"

35.) "It is neither fit for the land, nor yet for the dunghill, but men cast it out. He that hath ears to hear, let him hear."

Luke 18:7-8: A Promise.

7.) "And shall not God avenge (protect) his own elect, which cry day and night unto him, though he bear long with them?"

8.) "I tell you that he will avenge them speedily (at once). Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?"

Luke 18:15-17: A Requirement.

15.) "And they brought unto him also infants, that he would touch them: but when his disciples saw it, they rebuked them."

16.) "But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God."

17.) "Verily (Truly) I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child shall in no wise enter therein."

Luke 18:24-30: A Promise.

24.) "And when Jesus saw that he was very sorrowful, he said, How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God!"

25.) "For it is easier for a camel to go through a needle's eye, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God."

Note:
In cities of old there were large gates that were open during the daylight hours for entering and leaving, but at night the large gates were closed to protect the cities. Those who desired to enter at night went through a smaller gate which was called "a needle". In order for camels to enter the smaller gate (needle) they first had to have the cargo they were carrying removed.

26.) "And they that (who) heard it said. Who then can be saved?"

27.) "And he said, The things which are impossible with men are possible with God."

28.) "Then Peter said, Lo, we have left all, and followed thee."

29.) "And he said unto them, Verily (Truly) I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or parents, or brethren, or wife, or children, for the kingdom of God's sake,"

30.) "Who shall not receive manifold (many times) more in this present time, and in the world to come life everlasting."

This ends our study of "The Gospel According To Luke". As usual reading the whole Chapter from which the verses were taken will bring greater understanding.

Thank you for allowing me to share (give) that which I have freely received.

Who Are We As Christians? Part 11

2010-04-23T04:53:00.000-07:00

Now that we have seen Beloved Almighty Lord Jesus Christ clearly as "Our Great High Priest", we will move to Psalms.

The Beginning: Psalm Chapter 1:

1. "BLESSED is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful."

2. "But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate (study) day and night."

3. "And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither (fade); and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper."

4. "The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away."

5. "Therefore the ungodly shall not stand (rise) in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation (assembly) of the righteous."

6. "For the LORD knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish."

Within Psalm 1 are: instructions to us, promises to us and "Blessings" to us if we OBEY.

Psalm 118 is a very, very important Psalm. In It is contained the middle verse of "The Bible". Please be sure to read It often.

Psalm 118:8: "It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man."

A very important instruction (warning) that if we heed It and obey It, will bring us to: "And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye may be filled with all the fulness of God" (Ephesians 3:19)

The End: Psalm 150:

1. "PRAISE ye the LORD. Praise God in his sanctuary: praise him in the firmament of his power."

2. "Praise him for his mighty acts: praise him according to his excellent greatness."

3. "Praise him with the sound of the trumpet: praise him with psaltery and harp."

4. "Praise him with the timbrel and dance: praise him with stringed instruments and organs."

5. "Praise him upon the loud cymbals: praise him upon the high sounding cymbals."

6. "Let every thing that hath breath praise the LORD. Praise ye the LORD."

Between Psalm 1 and Psalm 150 is a plethora of information from and about "The Old Testament". Psalms is in part a summary of "The Old Testament". However, It in no way should preclude studying "The Old Testament".

Psalm 2: This Psalm is about Beloved Almighty Lord Jesus Christ.

1. "WHY do the heathen (nations) rage, and the people imagine a vain (foolish) thing?"

2. "The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed (Christ) saying,"

3. "Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us."

4. "He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision."

5. "Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex (trouble) them in his sore (great) displeasure."

6. "Yet have I set (founded) my king upon my holy hill of Zion."

7. "I will declare (announce) the decree: the LORD hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee."

8. "Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession."

God, our Father is speaking to Jesus, our Lord and Saviour about we the Gentiles (heathen) Christians.

9. "Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel."

As Christians, we were chosen, predestinated and ordained to be "saved" before the foundation of The World. Not all of the heathen (the Gentiles will be saved). (See Revelation 11:1-2)

Revelation 11:1-"And there was given me a reed like unto a rod (10.5 feet): and the angel stood, saying, Rise, and measure the temple of God, and the altar, and them that worship therein."

2. "But the court which is without the temple leave out (cast out) and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months."

This is why the following Words were given to Beloved Apostle Saint John.

Revelation 19:9- "And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God."

10. "Be wise now therefore, O ye kings: be instructed, ye judges of the earth."

11. "Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling."

Very important instruction - we should obey It daily!

12. "Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him."

Even greater instruction - we should obey It always!

Again, Thank You for allowing me to share with you.

Inspiration - The Napkin

2009-12-19T14:31:00.000-08:00

I received this in an Email.

The Napkin

John 20:6-7 reads (in "The Woman's Study Bible, The New King James Version")

6.) "Then Simon Peter came, following him, and went into the tomb; and he saw the linen cloths lying there,"

7.) "and the handkerchief that had been around His head, not lying with the linen cloths, but folded together in a place by itself."

John 20:6-7 (King James Version):

6.) "Then cometh Simon Peter following him, and went (went straight) into the sepulchre, and seeth the linen clothes lie,"

7.) "And the napkin, that was about his head, not lying with the linen clothes, but wrapped together in a place by itself."

Why Did Jesus Fold the Napkin?

This is one I can honestly say I have never seen circulating in the emails so; I'll start it, if it touches you and you want to, forward it.

Why did Jesus fold the linen burial cloth after His resurrection?

I never
noticed this....

The Gospel of John 20:7 tells us that the napkin,which was placed over the face of Jesus, was not just thrown aside like the grave clothes.

The Bible takes an entire verse to tell us that the napkin was neatly folded, and was placed at the head of that stony coffin.

Early Sunday morning, while it was still dark, Mary Magdalene came to the tomb and found that the stone had been rolled away from the entrance.

She ran and found Simon Peter and the other disciple, the one whom Jesus loved. She said, 'They have taken the Lord's body out of the tomb, and I don't know where they have put him!'

Peter and the other disciple ran to the tomb to see. The other disciple out ran Peter and got there first. He stooped and looked in and saw the linen cloth lying there, but he didn't go in.

Then Simon Peter arrived and went inside. He also noticed the linen wrappings lying there, while the cloth that had covered Jesus' head was folded up and lying to the side.

Was that important? Absolutely!

Is it really significant? Yes!

In order to understand the significance of the folded napkin, you have to understand a little bit about Hebrew tradition of that day. The folded napkin had to do with the Master and Servant, and every Jewish boy knew this tradition.

When the servant set the dinner table for the master, he made sure that it was exactly the way the master wanted it.

The table was furnished perfectly, and then the servant would wait, just out of sight, until the master had finished eating, and the servant would not dare touch that table, until the master was finished.

Now if the master were done eating, he would rise from the table, wipe his fingers, his mouth,and clean his beard, and would wad up that napkin and toss it onto the table.

The servant would then know to clear the table. For in those days, the wadded napkin meant, 'I'm done'.

But if the master got up from the table, and folded his napkin, and laid it beside his plate, the servant would not dare touch the table, because..........

The folded napkin meant, 'I'm coming back!'

He is Coming Back!!

Be Blessed!

Spiritual Sharing: Part 2 - On Prayer - Part 1

2009-12-19T12:19:00.000-08:00

On Prayer: Part 1

Since "Discipleship" and "Prayer" go hand-in-hand, I am going to share my insights and experience in / with prayer.

My Basics:

I have learned through the years that God (my Beloved Almighty "ABBA" Father) through my Beloved Almighty Lord Jesus Christ (my Beloved Almighty Christ Jesus) by His Beloved Almighty Holy Spirit (my Helper, my Intercessor and my Comforter) answers my prayers as follows:

Yes! - Immediate Manifestation.

Not At This Time - Manifestation in His Perfect Time, later in my time.

I Have Something Better In Mind - Answered In His Perfect Time Through His Will not mine and greater than I can conceive.

Unanswered Prayers:

I have learned that my unanswered prayers are unanswered because:

What I am asking for requires the strengthening of my "inner man" (spirit man) to be able to sustain the "Blessing" when received. It is called "character building". The larger the request the greater the "character building".

Interference from another or others praying for me against my will and God's Will.

It is very important to know who is praying for you and what they are praying. Example: Years ago, I was an "Artist Representative" for my cousin. I learned through experience this WAS NOT God's "calling" in my life. So I discontinued representing him. As the year was coming to a close, while chatting with a "sister in Christ", she proceeded to tell me that in the new year, she was praying for me to get a studio where I could sell my cousin's artwork.

From that day to today in my prayers, I ask that EVERY prayer that has not been prayed aright for me be bound and destroyed. Be very, very careful who you ask to pray for you and ask them to ONLY pray that God's Will and God's Plans be revealed, manifested loosed and settled Today and Forever in your life and living or something similar. And be sure to continue "praying without ceasing" in The Spirit and in the understanding for yourself. Remember: no one can do your work for you, but we can all do intercession for one another.

If you have no one praying with you REMEMBER that there are "intercessors" throughout The World that pray for The Beloved Holy Body of Christ DAILY. So include the above because all "intercessors" have not evolved in prayer to pray for ONLY God's Will and God's Plans in The Beloved Holy Body of Christ, His Glorious Church, individually and UNITED.

And most importantly give "Thanks" for the revelation, manifestation, loosing and settling in, through, around and upon you of EVERY prayer that has EVER been prayed "aright" for / with you.

Thank you for allowing me to share (give) freely my insights and experiences in / with Prayer as I have freely received. You are in my prayers.

In Christ Jesus Love, Victory and Covenant Service,
Sandra

Spiritual Sharing - Discipleship Part 2

2009-12-19T10:01:00.000-08:00

Discipleship Part 2

We now move to the "Words" of Beloved Almighty Lord Jesus Christ on "discipleship" in "The Gospel According To Mark"

Mark 8:34-38:

34. "And when he had called the people unto him with his disciples also, he said unto them, Whosoever will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me."

35. "For whosoever will save his life shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel's, the same shall save it."

36. "For what shall if profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?"

37. "Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?"

38. "Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels."

Mark 9:49-50:

49. "For everyone shall be salted with fire, and every sacrifice shall be salted with salt."

50. "Salt is good: but if the salt have lost his saltness, wherewith will ye season it? Have salt in yourselves, and have peace one with another."

Mark 10:29-31:

29. "And Jesus answered and said, Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my sake, and the gospel's,"

30. "But he shall receive an hundredfold now in this time, houses, and brethren, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands, with persecutions; and in the world to come eternal life."

31. "But many that are first shall be last; and the last first."

Again in closing, I suggest that you read Mark Chapters 8-10 in their entirety for greater understanding.

Thank you for allowing me to share. I pray that this is a source of continued enlightenment and encouragement.

Who Are We As Christians? Part 10

2009-12-19T08:26:00.000-08:00

Beloved Almighty Lord Jesus Christ As Our Great High Priest Part 9

Hebrews Chapter 13:

1. "LET brotherly love continue."

2. "Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares."

5. "Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee."

6. "So that we may boldly (with good courage we) say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me."

7. "Remember them which have the rule over you, who have spoken unto you the word of God: whose faith follow, considering the end of their conversation."

8. "Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to-day, and for ever."

9. "Be not carried about with divers (different) and strange doctrines. For it is a good thing that the heart be established with grace; not with meats (food), which have not profited (helped) them that have been occupied therein."

10. "We have an altar, whereof they have no right to eat which serve the tabernacle."

11. "For the bodies of those beasts, whose blood is brought into the sanctuary by the high priest for sin, are burned without the camp."

12. "Wherefore Jesus also, that he might sanctify (set apart) the people with his own blood, suffered without (outside) the gate."

13. "Let us go forth therefore unto him without the camp, bearing his reproach (shame)."

14. "For here have we no continuing city, but we seek one to come."

15. "By him therefore let us offer the sacrifices of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to his name."

16. "But to do good and to communicate forget not: for with such sacrifices God is well pleased."

17. "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 (unhappiness): for that is unprofitable for you."

20. "Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant,"

21. "Make you perfect (complete) in every good work to do his will, working in you (us) that which is well-pleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen."

22. "And I beseech (urge) you, brethren, suffer the word of exhortation (warning): for I have written a letter unto you in a few words."

25. "Grace be with you all. Amen."

"Truth-In-Action through Hebrews"
"Letting the LIFE of the Holy Spirit Bring Faith's Works Alive in You!"

"Truth Hebrews Teaches"

"Key Lessons in Faith"
"1. Faith accepts the Bible's record of who Jesus is and what He has accomplished on our behalf. It also draws near to God and clings to Him tenaciously. The believer accepts the benefits of Jesus' sacrifice and enters God's presence with confidence. Faith believes the Bible implicitly, knowing it is God's living self-expression and so submits to its judgment. Finally, faith is willing to suffer with Christ, knowing it will receive a good reward."

"Action Hebrews Invites"
"Recognize that Jesus has destroyed the fear of death for you by overcoming the Devil. Chapter 2:14-18"

"Consciously hold onto the courage and hope that is implied by your confession of faith. Chapter 3:6"

"Allow the Word of God to judge the intents and thoughts of your heart.
Chapter 4:12-13"

"Be tenacious in holding onto God's promises. Aggressively pursue God, study His Word, and build up your faith. Chapter 4:14"

"Draw near to God with confidence when in need. Believe He understands your suffering. Chapter 4:16"

"Hold on to hope! Develop a sense of high destiny. Chapter 10:23"

"Recognize that following Jesus brings reproach. Do not fear human mockery, rejection, and scorn. Chapter 13:11-13"

"2. Steps to Dynamic Devotion"
"Devotion is concentration on a particular pursuit, purpose, or cause. He who is devoted to Jesus recognizes his fleshly tendency to become lackadaisical and studies to avoid it. The Scriptures shape his thinking, and he devotes time to prayer, to waiting upon the Lord, and to praise and thanksgiving."

"Action Hebrews Invites"
"Give your full attention to God's Word and your relationship with Jesus.
Chapter 2:1-4"

"Let Jesus and His Word be the foundation and sustainer of your thinking.
Chapter 3:1"

"Celebrate daily that you have gained access to God through the shed blood of Jesus Christ. Chapter 9:11-15"

"Continually draw near to God with a blameless heart and faith. Chapter 10:22"

"Gather often with God's people to encourage and urge them on in righteousness. Chapter 10:25"

"Seek God diligently. Believe that He will reward you for it. Chapter 11:6"

"Practice persistent and patient praise. Chapter 13:15"

"3. Steps to Faithful Obedience"
"Faith believes what God says and acts in line with His Word. Faith allows the believer to enter the rest into which God has called all His people. It acknowledges the completed work of salvation, while faithfully obeying every instruction from God."

"Action Hebrews Invites"
"Enter the rest promised by God. Mix your faith with God's Word. Do not allow rebellion to harden your heart. Chapter 4:1-10"

"Devote your whole heart to obeying God and His Word. Trust Him to do the things He says He will do. Chapter 4:8-11"

"Study Jesus' life as your model for suffering and obedience. Chapter 5:8-10"

"Never reject a message because it makes you uncomfortable. Accept correction from God's Word. Chapter 12:25"

"Obey church leadership. Recognize and cooperate with leadership to make their job easier. Pray for them continuously and faithfully. Chapter 13:17-18"

Taken From: "The Spirit Filled Life Bible", New King James Version, General Editor Jack W. Hayford, Litt.D. THOMAS NELSON PUBLISHERS - Nashville - 1991

I have "obediently", as guided, extracted from "The Epistle To The Hebrews" all that pertains to our Beloved Almighty Lord Jesus Christ as our Great High Priest. This gives us a greater understanding of our "Relationship" with Him.

After studying (reading) and understanding our relationship, I encourage you to read "The Epistle To The Hebrews" in Its entirety.

If necessary re-read the extracted Scripture and Book of Hebrews in Its entirety until you grasp the fullness of our "Relationship" with our Beloved Almighty Lord Jesus Christ as our Great High Priest.

Thank You for allowing me the honor and privilege of sharing with you "The Living Word" as revealed to me.

In Christ Jesus Love, Victory and Covenant Service,
Sandra

Inspiration - The U In Jesus

2009-12-07T12:14:00.000-08:00

THE U IN JESUS

Before U were thought of or time had begun,
God stuck U in the name of His Son.

And each time U pray, you'll see it's true,
You can't spell out JesUs and not include U.

You're a pretty big part of His wonderful name,
For U, He was born; that's why He came.

And His great love for U is the reason He died.
It even takes U to spell crUcified.

Isn't it thrilling and splendidly grand
He rose from the dead, with U in His plan?

The stones split away, the gold trUmpet blew,
and this word resUrrection is spelled with a U.

When JesUs left earth at His upward ascension,
He felt there was one thing He just had to mention.

'Go into the world and tell them it's true
That I love them all - Just like I love U.'

So many great people are spelled with a U,
Don't they have a right to know JesUs too?

It all depends now on what U will do,
He'd like them to know,
But it all starts with U.

Will YOU pass it on.
When Jesus died on the cross he was thinking of you!
If you are one of the 7% who will stand up for him, forward this.

Spiritual Sharing - Discipleship Part 1

2009-12-07T12:03:00.000-08:00

Discipleship Part 1

In 2008, while having a spiritual pity party...... "Oh poor me, my life sucks.", I received a letter from my cousin. In making a point, he referred to us as "Disciples of Christ". In that moment, I had to laugh as I wondered to myself, does he even comprehend what it means to "truly" consider ones self as a disciple of Beloved Almighty Lord Jesus Christ? Does he realize that even though we are saved, it does not make us a disciple overnight. It is an ongoing "process" for as long as we are here in earth.

I have been guided to share what I am experiencing in my ongoing "process" of forever becoming a "true" disciple of my Beloved Almighty Lord Jesus Christ. In so doing, I pray that someone who is also experiencing the ongoing "process" of discipleship will know you are not alone; there are others on the path so don't despair, don't give up!

We will begin with the "Definitions" of "Disciple" and "Process".

An excellent book that clearly explains "Process" that is greatly assisting me in understanding the ongoing "process" of Discipleship is: "God's Gonna Make You Laugh - Understanding God's Timing For Your Life" by Noel Jones.
I highly recommend you study and re-study it. You will be glad you did!

We will now move to The Words of my Beloved Almighty Lord Jesus Christ:

In Matthew:
Matthew 5:2-20:

2. "And he opened his mouth, and taught them saying,"

3. "Blessed are the poor (humble) in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven."

4. "Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted."

5. "Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth (land)."

6. "Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled."

7. "Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy."

8. "Blessed are the pure (sincere) in heart: for they shall see God."

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

10. "Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven."

11. "Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely (in deceitful fashion), for my sake."

12. "Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you."

13. "Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men."

14. "Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid."

15. "Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house."

16. "Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven."

17. "Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil."

18. "For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle (dot of the i or cross of the t) shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled."

19. "Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven."

20. "For I say unto you, That except your righteousness (faithfulness) shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven."

Matthew 5:43-48:

43. "Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbor, and hate thine enemy."

44. "But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;"

45. "That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise (shine) on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just (those who do good) and on the unjust."
46. "For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans (tax collectors) the same?"
47. "And if ye salute (act graciously toward) your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so?"

48. "Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect."

Matthew 10:1-4; 14-16; 22-28; 32-33; 36-40

1. "AND when he had called unto him his twelve disciples, he gave them power against unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all manner of sickness and all manner of disease."

2. "Now the names of the twelve apostles are these; The first, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother; James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother;

3. "Philip, and Bartholomew; Thomas, and Matthew the publican; James the son of Alphaeus, and Lebbaeus, whose surname was Thaddaeus;"

4. "Simon the Canaanite, and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed him."

14. "And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words, when ye depart out of that house or city, shake off the dust of your feet."
15. "Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of judgment, than for that city."

16. "Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless (innocent) as doves."

22. "And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that endureth (persists) to the end shall be saved."

23. "But when they persecute you in this city, flee ye into another for verily I say unto you, Ye shall not have gone over (finished with) the cities of Israel till the Son of man be come."
24. "The disciple is not above his master, nor the servant above his lord."
25. "It is enough for the disciple that he be as his master, and the servant as his lord. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebub (Beelzebul), how much more shall they call them of his household?"

26. "Fear them not therefore: for there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; and hid, that shall not be known."

27. "What I tell you in darkness, that speak ye in light: and what ye hear in the ear, that preach ye upon the housetops."

28. "And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him (God who) which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell."
32. "Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven."

33. "But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven."

36. "And a man's foes (enemy) shall be they of his own household."
37. "He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me."
38. "And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me is not worthy of me."
39. "He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it."
40. "He that receiveth you receiveth me, and he that receiveth me receiveth him that sent me."

This ends the "treasures" that I found in "The Book of Matthew".

Please study them carefully, for they are food for your soul on our path of "Discipleship".

Thank you for allowing me to share.

Who Are We As Christians? Part 9

2009-12-07T10:14:00.000-08:00

Beloved Almighty Lord Jesus Christ As Our Great High Priest Part 8

Hebrews Chapter 11:

1. "NOW faith is the substance (assurance) of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen."

2. "For by it (faith) the elders obtained (won) a good report."

3. "Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear."

5. "By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God."

6. "But without faith it is impossible to please him; for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him."

7. "By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by the which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith."

8. "By faith Abraham, when he was called to go out into a place which he should after receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he went out, not knowing whither he went (where he was going)."

9. "By faith he sojourned in the land of promise, as in a strange country, dwelling in tabernacles with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise:"

13. "These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen afar off, and were persuaded (convinced) of them, and embraced them, and confessed (admitted) that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth."

16. "But now they desire a better country, that is, an heavenly: wherefore God is not ashamed to be called their God: for he hath prepared for them a city."

39. "And these all, having obtained a good report through faith, received not the promise:"

40. "God having provided (foreseen) some better thing for us, that they without us should not be made perfect (complete)."

Hebrews Chapter 12:

1. "WHEREFORE seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin, which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,"

2. "Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God."

3. "For consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds."

4. "Ye have not resisted unto blood, striving against sin."

5. "And ye have forgotten the exhortation which speaketh unto you as unto children, My son, despise not thou chastening of the Lord, nor faint when thou art rebuked of him:"

6. "For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth (corrects), and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth."

7. "If ye endure chastening (corrects), God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not?"

8. "But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers (a part), then are ye bastards (illegitimate), and not sons."

9. "Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection (submission) unto the Father of spirits, and live?"

10. "For they verily for a few days chastened us after their own pleasure (according to their own judgment); but he for our profit, that we might be partakers of his holiness."

11. "Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward, it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised (trained) thereby."

12. "Wherefore lift (strengthen) the hands which hang down, and the feeble (weak) knees;"

13. "And make straight paths for your feet, lest that which is lame be turned out of the way; but let it rather be healed."

14. "Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord."

15. "Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled;"

16. "Lest there be any fornicator, or profane person (God-dishonoring), as Esau, who for one morsel of meat sold his birthright."

22. "But ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels,"

23. "To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect,"

24. "And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant (testament), and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel."

25. "See that ye refuse not him that speaketh, For if they escaped not who refused him that spake on earth, much more shall not we escape, if we turn away from him that speaketh from heaven:"

28. "Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear:"

29. "For our God is a consuming (destroying) fire."

Inspiration - Scars of Life

2009-11-06T11:58:00.000-08:00

I received this in an Email.

Scars of Life

Some years ago, on a hot summer day in South Florida, a little boy decided to go for a swim in the old swimming hole.

In a hurry to dive into the cool water, he ran out the back door, leaving behind shoes, socks, and shirt as he went. He flew into the water, not realizing that as he swam toward the middle of the lake, an alligator was swimming toward shore.

His father, working in the yard, saw the two as they got closer and closer together.
In utter fear, he ran toward the water, yelling to his son as loudly as he could.

Hearing his voice, the little boy became alarmed and made a U-turn to swim to his father. It was too late. Just as he reached his father, the alligator reached him.

From the dock, the father grabbed is little boy by the arms just as the alligator snatched his legs. That began an incredible tug-of-war between the two. The alligator was much stronger than the father, but the father was much too passionate to let go.

A farmer happened to drive by, heard his screams, raced from his truck, took aim and shot the alligator.

Remarkably, after weeks and weeks in the hospital, the little boy survived. His legs were extremely scarred by the vicious attack of the animal. And, on his arms, were deep scratches where his father's fingernails dug into his flesh in his effort to hang onto the son he loved.

The newspaper reporter who interviewed the boy after the trauma, asked if he would show him his scars. The boy lifted his pant legs. And then, with obvious pride, he said to the reporter, "But look at my arms. I have great scars on my arms too. I have them because my Dad wouldn't let go."

You and I can identify with that little boy. We have scars, too. No, not from an alligator, but the scars of a painful past. Some of those scars are unsightly and have caused us deep regret.

But, some wounds, my friend, are because God has refused to let go. In the midst of your struggle, He's been there holding on to you.

The Scripture teaches that God loves you. You are a child of God. He wants to protect you and provide for you in every way. But sometimes we foolishly wade into dangerous situations, not knowing what lies ahead. The swimming hole of life is filled with peril - and we forget that the enemy is waiting to attack.

That's when the tug-of-war begins - and if you have the scars of His Love on your arms, be very, very grateful. He did not and will not ever let you go.

Please pass this on to those you love. God has blessed you, so that you can be a blessing to others.

You just never know where a person is in his/her life and what they are going through. Never judge another person's scars, because you don't know how they got them.

Also, it is so important that we are not selfish, to receive the blessings of these messages, without forwarding them to someone else. Right now, someone needs to know that God loves them, and you love them, too - enough to not let them go.

Always Tell Your Family And Friends How Much You Love Them!!!

FRIENDS ARE ANGELS WHO LIFT US TO OUR FEET WHEN OUR WINGS HAVE TROUBLE REMEMBERING HOW TO FLY.

Spiriitual Sharing - The Middle East

2009-11-06T07:21:00.000-08:00

In January 2007, in pondering the "Middle East" crisis, I asked God through Beloved Almighty Lord Jesus Christ by His Beloved Holy Spirit to reveal to me "the spiritual" reason behind the manifest crisis.

On January 20th, 2007, I was guided to look in Genesis. Genesis 16:7-15.

Genesis 16:7: "And the angel of the LORD found her by a fountain of water in the wilderness, by the fountain in the way to Shur."

8. "And he said, Hagar, Sarai's maid, whence camest thou (where did you come from)? and whither wilt thou go? And she said, I flee from the face of my mistress Sarai."

9. "And the angel of the LORD said unto her, Return to thy mistress, and submit thyself under her hands (obey her)."

10. "And the angel of the LORD said unto her, I will multiply thy seed exceedingly, that it shall not be numbered for multitude."

11. "And the angel of the LORD said unto her, Behold, thou art with child, and shalt bear a son, and shalt call his name Ishmael; because the LORD hath heard thy affliction."

12. "And he will be a wild man; his hand will be against every man, and every man's hand against him; and he shall dwell in the presence of all his brethren."

13. "And she called the name of the LORD that spake unto her, Thou God seest me (El roi, that is, God is seeing): for she said, Have I also here looked after him that seeth me?"

14. "Wherefore the well was called Beerlahairoi; behold it is between Kadesh and Bered."

15. "And Hagar bare Abram a son: and Abram called his son's name, which Hagar bare, Ishmael."

I was then guided to Genesis 21:10-21:

Genesis 21:10: "Wherefore she said unto Abraham, Cast out this bondwoman and her son: for the son of this bondwoman shall not be heir with my son, even with Isaac."

11. "And the thing was very grievous (hard) in Abraham's sight because of his son."

12. "And God said unto Abraham, Let it not be grievous in thy sight because of the lad, and because of thy bondwoman; in all that Sarah hath said unto thee, hearken unto her voice; for in Isaac thy seed shall be called."

13. "And also of the son of the bondwoman will I make a nation, because he is thy seed (descendant)."

14. "And Abraham rose up early in the morning, and took bread, and a bottle (skin) of water, and gave it unto Hagar, putting it on her shoulder, and the child, and sent her away: and she departed, and wandered in the wilderness of Beer-sheba."

15. "And the water was spent (gone) in the bottle, and she cast the child under one of the shrubs."

16. "And she went, and sat her down over against him a good way off, as it were a bowshot: for she said, Let me not see the death of the child. And she sat over against him, and lift up her voice, and wept."

17. "And God heard the voice of the lad; and the angel of God called to Hagar out of heaven, and said unto her, What aileth thee, Hagar? fear not; for God hath heard the voice of the lad where he is."

18. "Arise, lift up the lad, and hold him in thine hand; for I will make him a great nation."

19. "And God opened her eyes, and she saw a well of water; and she went, and filled the bottle with water, and gave the lad drink."

20. "And God was with the lad; and he grew, and dwelt in the wilderness, and became an archer."

21. "And he dwelt in the wilderness of Paran: and his mother took him a wife out of the land of Egypt."

I was then guided to Genesis 25:12-18

Genesis 25:12: "Now these are the generations of Ishmael, Abraham's son, whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah's handmaid, bare unto Abraham:"

13. "And these are the names of the sons of Ishmael, by their names, according to their generations: the first born of Ishmael, Nebajoth; and Kedar, and Adbeel, and Mibsam,"

14. "And Mishma, and Dumah, and Massa,"

15. "Hadar, and Tema, Jetur, Naphish, and Kedemah:"

16. "These are the sons of Ishmael, and these are their names, by their towns, and by their castles (encampments); twelve princes according to their nations."

17. "And these are the years of the life of Ishmael, an hundred and thirty and seven years: and he gave up the ghost and died; and was gathered unto his people."

18. "And they dwelt from Havilah unto Shur, that is before Egypt, as thou goest toward Assyria: and he died in the presence of all his brethren."

"Havilah" is the land spoken of in Genesis 2:10-11: Genesis 2:10: "And a river went (flowed) out of Eden to water the garden; and from thence it was parted, and became into four heads."

11. "The name of the first is Pison: that is it which compasseth (surrounds) the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold;"

And in Genesis 2:14 we are told: "And the name of the third river is Hiddekel (Tigris): that is it which goeth toward the east of Assyria (Asshur). And the fourth river is Euphrates.

So we see that the land of Ishmael was quite vast and today we can trace a portion of it from Egypt to the River Euphrates which is in the "Middle East".

From "Smith's Bible Dictionary", I was shown: "The sons of Ishmael peopled the north and west of the Arabian peninsula, and eventually formed the chief element of the Arab nation, the wandering Bedouin tribes. They are now mostly Mohammedans, who look to him as their spiritual father, as the Jews look to Abraham."

"A Dictionary Of The Bible" by William Smith, L.L.D.; Revised and Edited by F.N. and M.A. Peloubet; Thomas Nelson Publishers, Nashville.

I was next guided back to "presence" in Genesis 16:12 and into the dictionary:

"presence"- an influence or a supernatural or divine spirit felt to be present.

Webster's New World College Dictionary, Fourth Edition; Michael Agnes, Editor In Chief; David B. Guralnik, Editor In Chief 1951-1985; Copyright 2002 by Wiley Publishing, Inc., Cleveland, Ohio.

Having been told that "Ishmael" would be a "wild man", the presence would be a supernatural spirit (of darkness).

I was then given a chart and a Prayer to: bind and destroy the anti-christ and Ishmael (wild man) spirits in addition to the jezebel, fault-finding, anger, suicide and poverty spirits in the Name of Beloved Almighty Lord Jesus Christ.:

+++ Abraham's Seed (under The Old Covenant)+++

Ishmael - Mohammed -------+------- Isaac - Jesus
++++ Anti-Christ ++++ ----------- +++ Christ +++
+-------- Arabs -------+ ---------- +++ Jews +++

Definition of Anti-Christ from "The Bible" (The Word of God).

1 John 2:18-26:

1 John 2:18: "Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that anti-christ shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know (realize) that it is the last time."

19. "They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest (obvious) that they were not all of us."

20. "But ye have an unction (anointing) from the Holy One, and ye know all things."

21. "I have not written unto you because ye know not the truth, but because ye know it, and that no lie is of the truth."

22. "Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son."

23. "Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: [but] he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also."

24. "Let that therefore abide (remain) in you, which ye have heard from the beginning. If that which ye have heard from the beginning shall remain in you, ye also shall continue in the Son, and in the Father."

25. "And this is the promise that he hath promised us, even eternal life."

26. "These things have I written unto you concerning them that seduce (deceive) you."

1 John 4:1-6

1 John 4:1: "BELOVED, believe (trust) not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world."

2. "Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God:"

3. "And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world."

4. "Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world."

5. "They are of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and the world heareth them."

6. "We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know (recognize) we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error."

2 John 5-11:

2 John 5: "And now I beseech thee, lady, not as though I wrote a new commandment unto thee, but that which we had from the beginning, that we love one another."

6. "And this is love, that we walk after his commandments. This is the commandment, That, as ye have heard from the beginning, ye should walk in it."

7. "For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist."

8. "Look to yourselves, that we lose not those things which we have wrought (worked for), but that we receive a full reward."

9. "Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not (does not belong to) God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath (belongs to) both the Father and the Son."

10. "If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed:"

11. "For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds."

On April 16, 2007, the Virginia Tech Massacre took place in Blacksburg, Virginia. The perpetrator, Seung-Hui Cho killed 32 people and wounded 25 others. After which he committed suicide.

Seung-Hui Cho, prepared in advance a "manifesto" and mailed it to the New York headquarters of NBC News. The package was addressed from "A. Ishmael." Seung-Hui Cho also wrote "Ismail Ax" in red ink on his arm.

Each of the links above connects to a piece of "darkness" that affected all of us, if you desire a greater understanding. Though not of "Middle Eastern Descent", I am certain that Seung-Hui Cho was seduced by a spirit of darkness.

For me, my prayer is that in "obeying" the instructions given to me (a Prayer to: bind and destroy the anti-christ and Ishmael (wild man) spirits in addition to the jezebel, fault-finding, anger, suicide and poverty spirits in the Name of Beloved Almighty Lord Jesus Christ and The Power of His Presence. And loose the Light, Love and Peace of Christ in, through, around and upon His World-Beloved Mother Earth-Terra Firma, in The Name of Beloved Almighty Lord Jesus Christ and The Power of His Presence.) made a difference in what happened and what might have happened.

Only in "Eternity" will I know "The Truth."

If you are so guided, please join me in praying for: the binding and destroying the jezebel, fault-finding, anger, poverty, suicide, anti-christ and Ishmael (wild man) spirits in the Name of Beloved Almighty Lord Jesus Christ and The Power of His Holy Presence. And loosing the Light, Love and Peace of Christ in, through, around and upon His World-Beloved Mother Earth-Terra Firma, in The Name of Beloved Almighty Lord Jesus Christ and The Power of His Holy Presence.

In closing, I would like to say I am speaking only of the dissidents in the "Middle East" and not all of the people of "Middle Eastern" descent. And I am speaking of the spiritual effect, be it light or dark upon we the people.

Thank you for allowing me to share.

Who Are We As Christians? Part 8

Beloved Almighty Lord Jesus Christ As Our Great High Priest Part 7

Hebrews Chapter 9:

8. "The Holy Ghost this signifying (showing by this), that the way into the holiest of all was not yet made manifest (opened), while as the first tabernacle was yet standing:"

9. "Which was a figure for the time then present, in which were offered both gifts and sacrifices, that could not make him that did the service perfect (complete), as pertaining to conscience;"

10. "Which stood only in meats and drinks, and divers (various) washings, and carnal ordinances (fleshly regulations), imposed on them until the time of reformation."

11. "But Christ being come an high priest of good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this building;"

12. "Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us."

13. "For if the blood of bulls and goats, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth (set apart) to the purifying of the flesh:"

14. "How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge (clean) your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?"

15. "And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament (agreement), that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions (sins) that were under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance."

16. "For where a testament is, there must also of necessity be the death of the testator (maker)."

17. "For a testament is of force after men are dead: otherwise it is of no strength at all while the testator (maker) liveth."

18. "Whereupon neither (not even) the first testament (agreement) was dedicated (established) without blood."

22. "And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission."

23. "It was therefore necessary that the patterns (copies) of things in the heavens should be purified (cleansed) with these; but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these."

24. "For Christ is not entered into the holy places made with hands, which are figures (examples) of the true (real one); but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us:"

25. "Nor yet he should offer himself often, as the high priest entereth into the holy place every year with blood of others;"

26. "For then must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world: but now once in the end of the world (ages) hath he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself."

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

28. "So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation."

Hebrews Chapter 10:

1. "For the law having a shadow of good things to come, and not the very image (exact reality) of the things, can never with those sacrifices which they offered year by year continually make the comers thereunto perfect."

2. "For then would they not have ceased to be offered? because that the worshippers once purged (cleansed) should have had no more conscience (awareness) of sins."

5. "Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he saith, Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not (you did not want), but a body hast thou prepared me:"

7. "Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of me,) to do thy will, O God." (Psalm 40:7)

8. "Above when he said, Sacrifice and offering and burnt offerings and offering for sin thou wouldest not, neither hadst pleasure therein; which are offered by the law;"

9. "Then said he, Lo, I come to thy will, O God. He taketh away the first, that he may establish (introduce) the second."

10. "By the which will we are sanctified (set apart) through the offering of the body of Christ once and for all."

12. "But this man (He), after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God;"

13. "From henceforth expecting (waiting) till his enemies be made his footstool."

14. "For by one offering he hath perfected (completed) for ever them that are sanctified (set apart)."

15. "Whereof the Holy Ghost (Holy Spirit) also is a witness to us: for after that he had said before,"

16. "This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them;"

17. "And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more."

18. "Now where remission (forgiveness) of these is, there is no more offering (sacrifice) for sin."

19. "Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus,"

20. "By a new and living way, which he hath consecrated (prepared) for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh;"

21. "And having an high priest over the house of God;"

22. "Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water."

23. "Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised);"

24. "And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works:"

25. "Not forsaking (neglecting) the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting (encouraging) one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching."

26. "For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,"

27. "But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries (God-haters)."

29. "Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto (insulted) the Spirit of grace?

30. "For we know him that hath said, Vengeance belongeth unto me, I will recompense, saith the Lord. And again, The Lord shall judge his people." (Deuteronomy 32:35-36)

31. "It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God."

32. "But call to remembrance the former days, in which, after ye were illuminated, ye endured a great fight of afflictions;"

33. "Partly, whilst ye were made a gazingstock (object of ridicule) both by reproaches and afflictions; and partly, whilst ye became companions of them that were so used."

35. "Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompense (promise) of reward."

36. "For ye have need of patience (persistence) that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise."

37. "For yet a little while, and he that shall come will come, and will not tarry (delay)."

38. "Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him."

39. "But we are not of them who draw back unto perdition (destruction): but of them that believe to the saving of the soul."

Reminder: Study the Chapter in Its entirety for greater understanding.

Inspiration - How Great Is Love

2009-10-17T22:18:00.000-07:00

"How Great Is Love"

Once upon a time, there was an island where all the feelings lived:
Happiness, Sadness, Knowledge, and all of the others including

LOVE.

One day it was announced to the feelings that the island would sink,
so all prepared their boats and left the island. LOVE was
the only one who stayed behind. You see, LOVE wanted to wait
until the last possible moment before leaving.

The island was almost sunk, and LOVE decided to ask for help.
Richness was passing by LOVE in a grand boat. LOVE said
"Richness, can you take me with you?" Richness answered,
"No, I can't. There is a lot of gold and silver in my boat.
There is no place for you."

LOVE decided to ask Vanity who was also passing by in a beautiful vessel, "Vanity, please help me!" I can't help you LOVE. You are all wet and might damage my boat," Vanity answered.

Sadness was close by so ... LOVE called to Sadness for help,
but Sadness answered ... "LOVE, I am so sad that I need to be by myself!"

Happiness passed by LOVE too; Happiness did not hear the cry for help for Happiness was so happy.

Suddenly, there was a voice, "Come LOVE, I will take you":
It was an Elder's name. When they arrived at dry land,
the Elder went on Its way.
LOVE realizing how much it owed the Elder
asked Knowledge, another Elder, "Who helped me?"

"It was Time", Knowledge answered. "Time?" asked LOVE,
"But why did Time help me?"
Knowledge smiled with deep Wisdom and answered,
"Because only Time is capable of understanding how
"GREAT LOVE IS."

Spiriitual Sharing - Jews For Jesus

2009-10-17T22:05:00.000-07:00

"Jews For Jesus"

During my 18 months stay in Virginia, one Sunday in our Church, the Minister invited a gentleman named David Brickner to speak to the congregation.

David Brickner is the head of "Jews For Jesus" which is headquartered in San Francisco with offices throughout The World. What he shared with us was very enlightening and touched me in the depths of my soul.

"Jews For Jesus" are the children of Israel who have accepted Beloved Almighty Lord Jesus Christ as Their Messiah.

In doing so they experience:

Often times being disowned by their family.
Unable to attend The Temple.
Unable to be buried in a Jewish cemetery
Being spit upon and threatened with bodily harm by other Jews during there Evangelistic work.

The above are only some of the things our Jewish Brethren endure. But there reward is bringing another of our Brethren "Home" into "Our Beloved Holy Body of Christ".

I was so touched with what David shared with us that I have been supporting their work every since. I receive beautiful handwritten "Thank you"postcards from the recipients of my sharing. They are so uplifting, they always seem to arrive at just "the right time".

They have held a campaign called "Behold Your God" in the United States which was very successful and now they have the same campaign in Israel. In October they will hold "Behold Your God -Galilee".

I am so excited, I am actually through our Brethren seeing "The Bible" unfold in living color. "The Word" manifesting in The Earth in a good and positive way.

Please Visit The Website: "Jews For Jesus"

They have a wonderful free informative introductory packet through the mail. They publish a "Newsletter" monthly filled with enlightening information that you can receive by mail or Email.

Thank you for allowing me to share a very special part of my life.

Who Are We As Christians? Part 7

2009-10-17T21:49:00.000-07:00

Our Beloved Almighty Lord Jesus Christ As Our Great High Priest Part 6:

Hebrews Chapter 7:

11. "If therefore perfection (everything was complete)were by the Levitical priesthood, (for under it the people received the law,) what further need was there that another priest should rise after the order of Melchisedec, and not be called after the order of Aaron?"

12. "For the priesthood being changed, there is made of necessity a change also of the law."

13. "For he of whom these things are spoken pertaineth (belong) to another tribe, of which no man gave attendance at the altar."

14. "For it is evident that our Lord sprang out of Juda; of which tribe Moses spake nothing concerning priesthood."

15. "And it is far more evident: for that after the similitude (likeness) of Melchisedec there ariseth another priest,"

16. "Who is made, not after the law of a carnal commandment (legal requirement), but after the power of an endless life."

17. "For he testifieth, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec." (Psalm 110:4)

18. "For there is verily a disannuling (setting aside) of the commandment going before the weakness and unprofitableness thereof."

19. "For the law made nothing perfect, but the bringing in of a better hope did; by the which we draw nigh (near) unto God."

20. "And inasmuch as not without an oath he was made priest:"

21. "(For those priests were made without an oath; but this an oath by him that said unto him, The Lord sware and will not repent [change his mind], Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec:)" (Psalm 110:4)

22. "By so much was Jesus made a surety of a better testament."

23. "And they truly were many priests, because they were not suffered (allowed) to continue by reason of death:"

24. "But this man, because he continueth ever, hath an unchangeable priesthood."

25. "Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them."

26. "For such an high priest became us, who is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and made higher than the heavens;"

27. "Who needeth not daily, as those high priests, to offer up sacrifice, first for his own sins, and then for the people's: for this he did (has done) once (once for all), when he offered up himself."

28. "For the law maketh men high priests which have infirmity (are weak); but the word of the oath, which was since the law, maketh (appoints) the Son, who is consecrated (perfect) for evermore."

Hebrews Chapter 8:

1. "NOW of the things which we have spoken this is the sum: We have such an high priest, who is set on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens;"

2. "A minister of the sanctuary, and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord pitched, and not man."

3. "For every high priest is ordained (appointed) to offer gifts and sacrifices: wherefore it is of necessity that this man have somewhat also to offer."

6. "But now hath he obtained a more excellent ministry, by how much also he is the mediator of a better covenant, which was established upon better promises."

7. "For if that first covenant (agreement) had been faultless, then should no place have been sought for the second."

2009-10-08T06:25:00.000-07:00

I Received This Message by Email.

"This is My Beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased." Matthew 3:17

When Jesus stepped into the River Jordan to be baptized by John, He was stepping into the fullness of God's purpose for His Life.

Have you ever stopped to think that when Jesus walked into those waters they were teeming with the sins of mankind?

John had baptized multitudes there, their sins figuratively passing from them into the Sea of God's forgetfulness just as the waters of the Jordan end up in the Dead Sea.

Now you might think: "How awful! Jesus is wading into sin." But Jesus was doing so to fulfill the purpose of God - redemption for you and me. Jesus was exactly where God wanted Him to be, doing precisely what God wanted Him to do.

That is why Heaven announced: "This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased."

Don't expect God to speak up for you or cause others to see you for who you really are, until you are willing to step into the place He has called you to.

And that may mean stepping into some muddy waters!
But when you do you won't have to speak up for yourself, fight for yourself or demand anything of others.

God will command whatever forces are involved to yield to you, give to you, honor you, listen to you and obey you.

You will not have to grope for the right answer or wonder if something is right or wrong for you.

God will give you the ability and resources you need.

Why?

Because you are where He wants you to be, doing what He wants you to do!

Spiritual Sharing - How I Study

2009-10-08T06:01:00.000-07:00

Years ago I was guided to "study" from "The Book of Psalms" daily. Upon finishing "The Book of Psalms" to continue on to "The Book of Proverbs. Upon finishing "The Book of Proverbs" to continue on to "The Book of Ecclesiastes" and finally to complete The Sequence with "The Book of The Song of Solomon".

I obeyed. I study at least 3 Psalms or 3 Chapters of "Proverbs" or 3 Chapters of "Ecclesiastes" or 1 Chapter of "Song of Solomon per day. I also study Psalm 119 "Meditations On The Law" daily. Studying 3 to 6 of them per day and then begin again. They are The Hebrew alphabet.

Each time I complete the above and begin again, I am moved to a new level of understanding.

They are very comforting on days when everything seems to be going wrong. It is a source of upliftment for me to see "The Promises" of God and to speak them out loud.

Thank you for continuing to study with me.

Who Are We As Christians? Part 6

2009-10-08T04:10:00.000-07:00

Beloved Almighty Lord Jesus Christ As Our Great High Priest Part 5

Hebrews Chapter 5:

1. "FOR every high priest taken from among men is ordained (appointed) for men in things pertaining to God, that he may offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins:"

2. "Who can have compassion on the ignorant, and on them that are out of the way; for that he himself also is compassed with infirmity (surrounded by weakness)."

4. "And no man taketh this honour unto himself, but he that is called of God, as was Aaron."

5. "So also Christ glorified (exalted) not himself to be made an high priest; but he that said unto him, Thou art my Son, to-day have I begotten thee." (Psalm 2:7)

NOTE: Psalm 2 is about our Beloved Lord and Saviour Jesus. We will examine It later. A clear understanding of Psalm 2 will allow you to see through "The Veil". Humbly ask our Beloved Almighty Lord Jesus Christ to reveal "The Mystery" of Psalm 2 to you, according to Luke 11:9-10: "And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you." "For everyone that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened."

6. "As he saith also in another place, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Mechisedec." (Psalm 110:4)

7. "Who in the days of his flesh, when he had offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears unto him that was able to save him from death, and was heard in that he feared;"

8. "Though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered.;"

9. "And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him:"

10. "Called of God an high priest after the order of Melchisedec."

12. "For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of the oracles (truth) of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat."

13. "For everyone that useth milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe."

14. "But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised (trained) to discern both good and evil."

Hebrews Chapter 6:

8. "But that which beareth thorns and briers is rejected, and is nigh (near) unto cursing; whose end is to be burned."

9. "But, beloved, we are persuaded (convinced) better things of you, and things that accompany (belong to) salvation, though we thus speak."

10. "For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labour of love, which ye have shewed toward his name in that ye have ministered to (served) the saints, and do minister."

11. "And we desire that every one of you do shew the same diligence (high purpose) to the full assurance of hope unto the end:"

12. "That ye be not slothful (slow), but followers (imitators) of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises,"

13. "For when God made promise to Abraham, because he could swear by no greater, he sware by himself."

15. "And so, after he had patiently endured, he obtained the promise."

17. "Wherein God, willing more abundantly to shew unto the heirs of promise the immutability of his counsel (the permanent character of His word), confirmed it by an oath:"

18. "That by two immutable (unchangeable) things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us:"

19. "Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and stedfast (fixed), and which entereth into that within the veil;"

20. "Whither the forerunner (first one) is for us entered, even Jesus, made an high priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec."

I received this in an Email.

"Cell Phone VS. THE BIBLE"

I wonder what would happen if we treated our "Bible" like we treat our cell phone?

What if we carried It around in our purses or pockets?
What if we flipped through It several times a day?
What if we turned back to go get It if we forgot It?
What if we used It to receive messages from the text?
What if we treated It like we couldn't live without It?
What if we gave It to our kids as gifts?
What if we used It when we traveled?
What if we used It in case of emergency?

This is something to make you go...hmmm...where is IS my "Bible"?

Oh, and one more thing. Unlike our cell phone, we don't have to worry about our "Bible" being disconnected because Jesus already paid the Bill.

And no dropped calls!

P.S. DO WHAT YOU THINK GOD WOULD WANT YOU TO DO WITH THIS EMAIL!

Spiritual Sharing - The Crucifixion

2009-09-29T22:09:00.000-07:00

The Crucifixion

"Medical Doctor Mark Eastman helps us understand an act of love that may make your skin crawl, the likes of which have never been seen anywhere, before or since. Read it, Medical shudder, and maybe weep."

"Almost everyone is familiar with the phrase, "Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends." It comes from the Bible, the words of Jesus Christ. Dr. Eastman gives a medical understanding of how Jesus set such a chilling example, with a scientific medical description of His gruesome, bloody death."

The punishment actually started during His trial, when he was spat upon and beaten. According to Dr. Eastman, this probably caused Jesus' eyelids to be swollen shut even before the trial was complete."

"Immediately after His trial, Jesus was 'scourged' (flogged) by the brutish Roman soldiers, an extreme form of punishment. The soldiers used a whip of numerous thongs, embedded with metal, bone or glass. Lash! Lash! Lash! Each lash tore into Jesus' body. There were typically 39 flesh-ripping lashes. The skin on His back was horribly shredded, exposing underlying muscle and skeletal tissues. Blood gushed from His wounds. Many victims died from the sheer trauma of this torture. An irreversible process of severe dehydration and cardio-respiratory failure began. A crown of thorns was mockingly placed on Jesus' head, causing more blood. He was spat upon and beaten more. But that was only the beginning. It gets worse..."

"The next step: the dreaded crucifixion on the cross. Invented by the Persians between 300-400 B.C. and perfected by the Romans, crucifixions called 'the most painful death ever invented by man.' It is where we get the term excruciating. To humiliate Him, Jesus was stripped naked, then placed on His back, arms stretched out and placed on a crossbar. Nails, about 7-9 inches long, were driven between the bones of the forearm (the radius and the ulna) and the small bones of the hands (the carpal bones). This insured that He would hang there until dead, and also to sever the median nerve, the largest nerve in the hand. This severing is a medical catastrophe, causing severe burning pain and the permanent paralysis of the hands."

"The positioning of the feet was critical. Jesus' knees were bent at about 45 degrees and the feet were flexed (bent downward) an additional 45 degrees. Another iron nail about 7-9 inches long was driven through His feet between the second and third metatarsal bones, severing the dorsal pedal artery. This set up a horrific series of events, resulting in a slow, painful death. Knees bent, Jesus now must try to bear His weight with the muscles of His thigh, an impossible position to maintain."

"In minutes, the strength of Jesus' legs gave out, resulting in the weight of the body being borne by His arms and shoulders, causing the shoulders to become dislocated. This causes the arms to be 6-9 inches longer than normal. With the arms dislocated, considerable body weight is transferred to the chest, causing the rib cage to be elevated in a state of perpetual inhalation. Consequently, in order to exhale, Jesus had to push down on His feet to allow the rib muscles to relax. Due to extreme fatigue, He could not do this for long, and as time went on He was less and less able, causing further dislocation of the arms and further raising of the chest wall, making breathing more and more difficult."

"The result of this process is a series of catastrophic physiological effects. Because Jesus could not maintain adequate ventilation of His lungs, the blood oxygen level began to diminish and the blood carbon dioxide level began to rise. This stimulated the heart to beat faster in order to increase the delivery of oxygen and the removal of the carbon dioxide. However Jesus' body could not deliver more oxygen and the rising heart rate only increased oxygen demand. The process set up a vicious cycle of increasing demand, which could not be met, followed by an ever-increasing heart rate."

"Jesus' heart began to fail and the lungs collapsed and filled up with fluid, which further decreased oxygen delivery to the tissues. The blood loss and hyper ventilation combined to cause more dehydration. That is why Jesus said, 'I thirst.'"

"Gradually, the combination of collapsing lungs, a failing heart, dehydration, and the inability to get adequate oxygen supplies to the tissues cause the eventual death of a victim. In effect, he cannot breathe properly and slowly suffocates to death. Making the situation much worse, because of the purpose of His suffering, Jesus also experienced the horror of separation from His heavenly Father, and the sins of all humanity."

"At three o'clock in the afternoon, Jesus Christ, only about age 33, uttered His last words: 'It is finished,' declaring His redemptive work on earth complete. He gave up His Spirit. A soldier stuck a spear in His side, causing blood and water to gush out of His dead body. Jesus may have had a 'cardiac rupture,' the bursting of the heart, caused by severe cardiac stress. Jesus may have literally died of a 'broken heart.'"

"{Postscript: It gets even worse. Jesus then descended into hell (Ephesians 4:9), in our place. Then, just as He predicted, He was resurrected three days later! He made many appearances and was seen by more than 500 people. He then ascended into heaven, at which time two angels appeared and said He would return some day, just like He left. Many details of His birth, life, death and resurrection were prophesied hundreds of years in advance by the ancient Hebrew prophets, recorded in the Old Testament.}"

2009-09-29T21:07:00.000-07:00

"Beloved Almighty Lord Jesus Christ As Our Great High Priest Part 4"

"Hebrews" Chapter 4:

1. "LET us therefore fear, lest, a promise left us of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it."

2. "For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them; but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it."

3. "For we which have believed do enter into rest, as he said, As I have sworn in my wrath, if they shall enter into my rest: although the works were finished from the foundation of the world." (Psalm 95:11)

4. "For he spake in a certain place of the seventh day on this wise, And God did rest the seventh day from all his works." (Genesis 2:2)

5. "And in this place again, If they shall enter into my rest." (Psalm 95:11)

6. "Seeing therefore it remaineth that some must enter therein, and they to whom it was (the good things were) first preached entered not in because of unbelief (disobedience)."

7. "Again, he limiteth a certain day, saying in David, To-day after so long a time; as it is said, To-day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts." (Psalm 95:7)

8. "For if Jesus had given them rest, then would he not afterward have spoken of another day."

9. "There remaineth therefore a test to the people of God."

10. "For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased (rested) from his own works, as God did from his." (Revelation 14:13)

11. "Let us labour (desire) therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief (disobedience)."

12. "For the word of God is quick (living), and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder (division) of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of (able to judge) the thoughts and intents of the heart."

13. "Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do."

14. "Seeing then we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast (firmly to) our profession."

15. "For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin."

16. "Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need."

NOTE:In going before "The Throne of Grace" in prayer, I begin with: "My Beloved Almighty Yeshua, my Beloved Almighty Christ Jesus, my Beloved Almighty Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ of Nazareth, my Beloved Redeemer, Deliverer, Mediator, Advocate, Intercessor, Beloved Master, Teacher, Counsellor, Beloved Best Friend, Beloved Bridegroom, King, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace, Great High Priest, Author and Finisher of ALL of my Faith and my Beloved Almighty Holy Healer, Who art in heaven, sitting upon the Magnificent and Glorious Throne of Grace at the Right Hand of Beloved Almighty "Abba" Yahweh until all of Your enemies are under Your Beloved Holy Feet as Your Footstool Forever, Hallowed Be Thy Name."

"My Beloved Almighty "Abba" Yahweh, my Beloved Almighty "Abba" Father, my Beloved Almighty God El Elyon Who art in heaven, sitting upon The Magnificent and Glorious Throne of Grace, Hallowed Be Thy Name."

"My Beloved Almighty Holy Spirit of God, my Beloved Helper, Intercessor and Comforter Who art in, through, around and upon me and in heaven, Hallowed Be Thy Name."

According to John 14:13-14 that the Father may be glorified (honored) in the Son" (our Everlasting Father), I have glorified (honored) God, The "Father" in The Son and honored Him as "my Father". In addition, I have also honored The Beloved Holy Spirit of God (The Complete Trinity).

Who Are We As Christians? Part 4

2009-09-24T10:17:00.000-07:00

"Beloved Almighty Lord Jesus Christ As Our Great High Priest Part 3."

"Hebrews" Chapter 3:

1. "WHEREFORE, holy brethren, partakers (members) of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession (confession), Christ Jesus;"

2. "Who was faithful to him that appointed (chose) him, as also Moses was faithful in all his house."

3. "For this man was counted worthy of more glory (praise) than Moses, inasmuch as he who hath builded the house hath more honour than the house."

4. "For every house is builded by some man; but he that built all things is God."

5. "And Moses verily (truly) was faithful in all his house, as a servant, for a testimony of those things which were to be spoken after;"

6. "But Christ as a son over his own house; whose house are we, if we hold fast the confidence (our boldness) and the rejoicing of the hope firm unto the end."

12. "Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from (forsaking) the living God."

13. "But exhort (urge) one another daily, while it is called To-day; lest any of you be hardened through deceitfulness of sin."

14. "For we are made partakers (partners) of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast (firmly) unto the end;"

15. "While it is said, To-day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation (stirring to anger)." Psalm 95:8

Thank You, again, for allowing me to share with you what has been revealed to me.

Spiritual Sharing - Prayer For Children

2009-09-22T06:07:00.000-07:00

"For Parents"

Pray daily over your children while laying hands on them. Lay one hand on the top of their head and the other hand on their heart.

Pray over each child individually especially your pre-teens and teenagers.

Ask our Beloved Almighty Lord Jesus Christ, our Beloved King and Everlasting Father to Reveal and Manifest His Will and His Plans in your children and in you for them.

Take time to pray with your little ones before they sleep.

"Take heed that ye despise not one of these little ones; for I say unto you, That in heaven their angels do always behold the face of my Father which is in heaven." Matthew 18:10.

Then were there brought unto him little children, that he should put his hands on them, and pray: and the disciples rebuked them (turned them away). But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven. And he laid his hands on them, and departed thence." Matthew 19:13-15

"And he took a child, and set him in the midst of them: and when he had taken him in his arms, he said unto them, Whosoever shall receive one of such children in my name, receiveth me: and whosoever shall receive me, receiveth not me, but him that sent me." Mark 9:37

"And they brought young children to him, that he should touch them: and his disciples rebuked (turned away) those that brought them. But when Jesus saw it, he was much displeased (moved with indignation), and said unto them, Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God. Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall not enter therein. And he took them up in his arms, put his hands upon them, and blessed them. Mark 10:13-16

For those of you who have received the Infilling of our Beloved Holy Spirit evidenced by His Gift of "Speaking In Other Tongues", Pray over your children in "Tongues".

If you have infants and toddlers sing lullabies to them in "Tongues". They love it!

For parents-to-be lay hands on the belly and start praying over your "little one(s)" now. It is never too early!

For Fathers remember these 2 Scriptures as head of your home.

"And ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition (training) of the Lord." Ephesians 6:4.

"Fathers, provoke not your children to anger, lest they be discouraged." Colossians 3:21

Let Us All Pray For "The Children"
Remembering They Are Our Future!
