I WILL...

Praise the LORD!!!

   In my early years, before CHRIST, I destroyed many a person's life. Sure a lot of these were done with the help of others, but I personally claim responsibility for even the parts that these played. For if it were not for my part in those things that I did, or inspired, they'd of not have done them.

   Now that my life is totally JESUS' I seek to set the record straight, by serving the LORD to the best of my ability. Reaching out and spreading the GOSPEL to everyone I can, in every manor that I can. With every step that I take while on this earth, I seek another to tell of the love JESUS has for them. I seek to do this in every possible place imaginable.

   I even pray that the LORD will open the doors that my feet shall travel around the globe, enabling me to share HIS love with all those abroad. For this to happen, due to my being a convicted felon, there is the need of a 'Presidential Pardon," to wipe clean my earthly record. I began, at one time, to seek this but was put to rest by the HOLY SPIRIT. For this is not to be of my hands, but of the LORD's and I've faith that it will be done.

   The day is coming when the LORD will pour out HIS blessings upon this worthless piece of flesh that HE has redeemed and HIS ministry for me and things will never be the same. For there will be a movement of GOD upon this earth that can only be called "the latter day rains" and GOD's KINGDOM on earth and in heaven will receive all the glory !!!!!!!

Our calling

PRAISE the LORD!!!

   Good day. I pray that you're blessed this day, you are, for you're alive.
  Folks, by simply looking around us today, we should be able to plainly see that "we are the end-times generation!!!" There is all kind of death and destruction taking place, even while you're reading this. There are millions of peoples souls that are perishing as we speak. Millions that will be trapped in an eternity of suffering unlike anything we can imagine and until we as Christians stand up and do something about it, the numbers will not decrease in the least. They will only grow greater, for evil begets evil.

  It is time that we get off our duffs, pray up, read up and step out to do the will of the LORD, fulfill the "Great Commission." It will not happen unless Bible believing Christians DO IT!!! It will not happen unless we expend our every effort in doing so!!! No expense should be too great, just look at what JESUS gave for each of us!!!

  We must agree to disagree over minor differences. We must unite under but one banner, that of JESUS CHRIST as LORD and SAVIOR !!!!!!!

  This message is short and simple> WHAT WILL YOU DO WITH IT>TODAY ???????

Torn heart-the way we are

Praise the LORD!!!

   My heart was torn when I first saw this photo, so badly that it took several hours before I was even able to think about eating. So much was going thru my head. All the things that the LORD has shown me of HIS ministry for me, that which I've been working on over the last years, to name a few. One of the greatest though, was "why in this day and age, with so many claiming to know JESUS, can this kind of thing still be happening?"

   I look at this and see a man, with good shoes on his feet, wearing good, clean clothing and carrying a bag of food in his hands. From the angle of his feet one can see that he'd just had to step around this child, having noticed him. He is walking at a fair gate, due to the fact of his long steps. Could not he of stopped for one second and given this child a handful of grain???

   I've settled down some, for it's been hours since I re-posted this and had a good nights sleep. Yet this image still haunts me!!! But an even sadder fact haunts me. The fact that having posted this on numerous sites, over 10 hours ago, not one single person (Christian, christian or not) has made a single comment!!!

   Have our hearts grown so cold and indifferent to images such as these, that we can just glance at them and them have no effects upon our hearts??? Going on with our lives, as if we'd never seen it or acknowledge that such things are happening in this world still??? What would JESUS do having seen this child in such sad shape??? Not just walk on by and I can guarantee that!!! HE didn't even want to send the crowds away after they'd been following HIM for several days!!! Let alone a child that is far from being well nourished. Truthfully folks what would JESUS do and what does HE think about the fact that we are the way we are ???????

So often...

Praise the LORD!!!

   So often we enter into our christian walks on fire for the LORD, telling all around us of all the wonders that have taken place. This will continue, on the most part for just a while, and then the flames begin to diminish. Less and less will others see or hear of these great works that have taken place within our lives. Let alone will those outside of our direct circles of influence hear them.

   People will have a tendency to begin having religion take over. Religion is the works of man's hands and not those of faith in the simple grace GOD has given us. Religion begins to direct us to do and don't do. To have and not to have. Keep the Sabbath or keep the LORD's day. Follow the Ten Commandments or to be set free from them. Along with many other 'works' of our hands.

   Don't people realize that in JESUS we have all we need. We have the Sabbath fulfilled in HIS rest. We have the ten commandments fulfilled in our living our lives as HE lived while here on earth. We have the love for all mankind. We have no fear or worries. We have the adoption into the family of GOD. We have the very KINGDOM of GOD dwelling right inside of us.

   What more could we ask for??? Draw closer to JESUS. Where HE and only HE is all in life that matters. Then you'll have that life that sets you free. Then you'll have that fire once again !!!!!!!
