As I sit here tonight in prayer, an article of sorts came to me. I am writing what was coming to mind. I am a sinner given chance after chance to change me life for the Lord. I have failed many times to do what I knew is right to do then proceeded to do wrong .I have taken the easy way out to please myself or friends or to look good in doing something I know is wrong so I do not look bad. How many times do we all play games with our minds and trick ourselves into disobeying the Lord? Now I know I am not the only person on the planet to fool myself ,or fool those around me. I know there are some of you right now saying" I know what this guy is saying, but he is a minister and a man of God." Yes I am a man of God for over 45 years and counting and I try hard everyday not to mess up doing things God has called me to do but, I am a man and a sinner and I fall way ,way short of doing it all right. For some of you who look at your minister and think he is a man of God and therefore can’t do wrong, I tell you right now, EVERYMAN AND WOMAN OF THE CLOTH ARE SINNERS and if they tell you different, then they are out and out liars and will answer to God almighty someday as we all will Amen

As I ramble on, I want you to know I try my very best to serve the people and with the Help from the Holy Spirit I do what I feel called to do and that the main thing is to show love to everyone. Sometimes I can’t even do that with my own family cause I get caught up in problems and let their problems get me up set and have no answer for their problems because I can not fix myself. When I wake up to the fact I can not do anything on my own then I throw my hands up and say OK Jesus I give in help me see the answer or show me a way to help or help me hear your voice so I may do your will and you sometimes people I don’t hear nothing? Sometimes there is no fast answer to problems and some of those problems we bring on ourselves and God expects us to find our own answers so we can help others who have the same kind of problems. You know in the Bible it says "NO GREATER LOVE THAN TO LAY DOWN YOUR LIFE FOR ANOTHER"

"And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in him.( John 4:16) " The NIV BIBLE

Well your life is your time! How much of your time to you lay down for your wife, husband, kids, aunt or uncle ,mom, dad, friends, minister, church, the people next door or strangers around the world in PRAYER----HOW MUCH TIME DO YOU USE FOR THESE PEOPLE IN PRAYER???????

SEE THE TWO TENETS OF God is ‘LOVE GOD WITH ALL YOU HEART AND MIND" the other is "LOVE EVERYONE LIKE YOURSELF" Keeping these two LAWS is what we Christians are supposed to do? To be a true Christian is to be like CHRIST JESUS!

How many people do you know counting yourself who are anywhere near like Jesus?>Anyone?

Now I know there are many who profess being Christian and even go to church every week but the other 6 days they go back to their little life of paying their bills, drinking, kicking the dog or cat, screaming at their mates or children and so on till the weekend comes back around and its time for church again. This isn’t what Jesus meant when he said" love one another as I have loved you."

We all get caught up in our daily lives so much with this and that and the T V on 20 hours a day we can’t take time to think about our loved ones can we? We can’t even think about our own dare I say it "SPIRITUAL LIFE" Many minister’s have alter calls and sometimes hundreds of people feel guilty of their lives for we know when we sin or when our last sin happened so we cry and come and pray I will change Lord I promise. Just give me another chance.

BUT THAT IS WHERE ALMOST ALL ALTER CALLS GO!

The churches do not tell you what you need to do after you have repented do they? The very first thing is right after you go home is get out a Bible and read the New Testament start with the first book and chapter of Matthew. Read about two or three chapters every night like you do TV or play games, take the time before you go to bed and read to you kids or your husband or wife but read. Ask God to open your eyes to His word for Him to send the Holy Spirit into your life to help make decisions in life, turn your faith on Him and ask Jesus our Lord to show you what to do everyday and to be with you in all your ways and you will be born again in the Lord Jesus Yashua Messiah hallelujah, praise God. Call your minister or go on line and find a church that answers question from the Bible and your spiritual growth will amaze you when the Holy Spirit fills your life. You will become a disciple of the Lord and you will want everyone you know to know what you have because you are changed to a new being in GOD! There is no greater miracle my friends than a loved one coming to God. I use to think that the power of the resurrection was the greatest but the Bible say’s when one soul excepts the Lord Jesus Christ all the angles in heaven sing—wow what a wonderful miracle that is and you can be part of it by spreading seeds around wherever you go. You don’t have to preach to give a message to someone, you can just say "HAVE A BLESSED DAY MY FRIEND" as you walk by or invite people into your home for a meal and ask blessing or ask them if they would like to ask one? Have a small group have Bible studies with your family once a week or at least ever other week.

I know most of you who come here or who have read my writing know some of these things to do but you would be very surprised how many do anything with what they know? I want to encourage you all first and most important PRAY FOR GUIDANCE FROM GOD then pray for doing the right thing at the right time and in the right place. Then pray for your family and their safety because the more you try to do God’s will the more Satan and this world will fight you. You will have trouble on the home front so make sure you and your mate are on the same sheet. Then get you children in line, then worry about being safe from Satan and ask for Gods protection be put all around you and your loved ones and their cars and homes and schools all the time. If you take these steps I have shown which I have implemented in my own life you will grow spiritually and feel the closeness of God’s Spirit in your daily life .Amen

God is looking for believers who will look at their circumstances with eyes of faith - people who will, despite all odds, believe for what God can do in any situation. He is also looking for people who will encourage the body of Christ by reminding them of His great power.
Is your faith working ,or do you have little faith to work with? God is the giver of faith so, ask Him to make you faith grow so you may be used more for his service.

Whether our situation is good or bad, we must have faith in God and know He is in control. Any obstacle that lies in our path is really just another opportunity for God to show us how much He loves us and what He can do. We can trust Him! No matter how bad a situation is, He is bigger. Tell Him it's impossible and He grins from ear to ear, because He devours the impossible and leaves us amazed. How could we even think for a moment the situation was impossible? "With God all things are possible" (Matthew 19:26).
God is honored by our faith in Him. He takes it very personally, and rightly so. If we truly have a personal relationship with Him, we would know Him as faithful and true (see Revelation19:11). Indeed, our faith in God is an element of our worship to Him.

Do not let unbelief keep you from giving Him your heart completely and receiving ALL that He has for you

When you read your Bible, have you ever noticed that Jesus never condemns anyone except the religious leaders of the time?
When they came to him and asked why he ate with tax collectors and whores, Jesus told them "That the well do not need a doctor."(Matt.9:12 and Luke 5:31) Most people in church have the medicine they need if they use their Bibles and read it themselves otherwise they may be sick also.
Jesus was trying to tell them that those who did not know the word of God needed to hear God's plan to save the world. He preached, that if they would only believe what he was telling them, then they would be saved.
Remember what Paul said in I Cor.{13:1-13.} "If you keep all these things and don't have love, you may not even be in the kingdom of God."
Jesus said he gives two new commandments. These are to love God with all your heart and to love your fellow man as you love yourself. (Matt.22:37-40) This is all the law we need to keep.
Don't let your pastor bring you back under the old law. Read what Paul says in these books of the Bible:Ephesians, Galatians, and Colossians. These are three books of your own Bible that you need to read to be truly free in Christ Jesus. When trying to find the way to serve God these two examples work to build your faith and your calling.

Following being Baptized in water after repenting of you past sin filled life you need to constantly seek to be filled, led, empowered and anointed with God’s Holy Spirit just as Jesus did – Luke 3:22-23; 4:1, 14, 18; and those that followed did, Ephesians 5:15-21.

Then you need to seek God’s kingdom and His righteousness first in your lives, Matthew 6:33.

As I was in more prayer asking God for guidance and more of His Holy Spirit to help lead me the strangest thing happened. As I was in prayer, I kept hearing "running out of time." After about three times of hearing this in my mind, I had to ask myself, who's running out of time? Was it our country, our president, our world, or was it ME? I had to find out, so I kept asking God to show me.
Have you watched the news of late? The latest is that China, Russia, Pakistan, India and a few other Muslim countries have asked the United States to leave Afghanistan. President Oboma is going to instead put more men and women in Afghanistan while pulling out of Iraq
Of course our beloved ex-President Bush said NO a couple of years ago while adding more men to the fighting in Iraq and causing more war and death. We will stay to fight the terrorists, right?
See my friends in the book of Revaluations there are four spirit's coming up out of the Euphrates River which will cause 1/3 of mankind to be killed that's 2,000,000,000 2 BILLION people world wide!
Guess what ? THAT Euphrates River RUNS over 85% of it is between Iran and Iraq!
Have you ever heard of ARMAGEDDON, Mr. President.
This could lead right up to the biggest war ever seen, and to the end of mankind.

I don't want to scare all of you brethren, but we are in the time of the end. ( Matthew 24:44)
You have heard this a lot, but read your Bible, then read your newspapers. (Well read between the lines of the propaganda anyway.) Look on the Internet for the right news, while you can.

This government is taking us down the road of NO RETURN. You need to be ready; are you? Oboma isn't going to do it all and MaCain isn't going to do it either because God is in charge and if these are the end times we need to be ready--ARE YOU?
Jesus said to watch, for no man knows the day or hour of the return of the Son of Man. But, He also said that as the buds on the trees turn green, you know that summer is near. (Matthew 24:32)
Read Revelation chapters 18-19, and read also Daniel chapters 9-11. Everyday something bad is going on in this mean, old world, and I believe that we are getting so used to it that it does not bother anyone. Like we read that in the end time, the love of many shall wax cold. (Matthew 24:12) Does your families and friends seem more distant to you?

Is your church more cold and unloving with dozens leaving because religion is being preached and the Bible is being left out, or replaced ,with booklets and films, or slide shows?

Telling you what this church says what your Bible means? Don’t you think you should know what your Bible says by reading it for yourself?
Only those that are close to God will be taken to a place of safety!
Will you and your family be some of those saints ?
You know just going to church every week isn't enough. It takes lots of BIBLE study and prayer and keeping yourself informed on the events around you.
Come on, open that Bible of yours, ask questions from your pastor, or read everything you can get your hands on concerning the end times.

When was the last time you went to God on your knees and asked to be protected from evil? When was the last time you asked Him to forgive your mistakes, so you could be with Him in His kingdom?
It is time to quit playing church; it is time to get REAL with Almighty God. Now would be a good time; don't you think?

If you'll ask the Lord to help you LATCH ON to these truths, you are in for the greatest day of your life! And -- you are in for a "love-affair" with your heavenly Father that will SET YOU FREE from your bandages. Remember, gospel means GLAD tidings of great joy which shall be for ALL people! If it is not good news, it is not the gospel! (Luke 2:10)
I hope in some small way that the truth is here for all of you.
Get your Bibles out, wipe off the dust, and read how simple salvation really is for you and me. And all of Gods children Amen

Jesus say's "When the Holy Spirit, who is truth, comes, He shall guide you into all truth, for He will not speak on his own initiative His own ideas, but will be passing on to you what He has heard. He will tell you about the future." ( John 16:13) NASB-BIBLE
The Apostle Paul wrote to Timothy saying "All scripture is inspired by God." (2 Timothy 3:26) NAS The word, inspired, in the original Greek language in which it was written, means "GOD-BREATHED." This means the Bible is God breathed words or God spoke through those whom He chose to revile His word. As a result the Bible has many benefits in it. Paul say's again

(2 Timothy 3:16) TLB "The whole Bible was given to us by inspiration from God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives; It straightens us out and helps us do what is right. It is God's way of making us well prepared at every point, Fully equipped to do good to everyone."

Apostle Paul tells us in (1 Corinthian 2:14) NIV " The man without the spirit does not accept the things that come from the spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him, and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually discerned." You see without God's Holy Spirit, naturel man cannot understand because the Bible is not of man but is directly from God."
Do you have difficulty understanding the Bible? Try asking God to have the Holy Spirit open your mind and heart and to forgive you of all sins even unknown sins, then try to read it again.

GOD tells us to " Love our neighbor as our selves": Leviticus 19:18 and John 15:12,

Romans 13:8. for our enemies Matt: 5: 44. Even the Holy Spirit helps us in our prayers and makes intercession. Romans 8:24-28
I Thess 5:17. Tells us to "Pray without ceasing" That means don't give up when your praying for something. He wants all to have Salvation. I Thess; 5:8-15 and James 5:16-19
God would have none perish he wants us to pray for our loved ones. He loves them too. He wants us to pray for those and administer to those in the world. Acts: 6:4 and Rom: 12:8-21

As servants of the most High God we have a commission and obligation to pray for our loved ones and NOT give up. The hand of God is mighty and he can turn people around and prayer is a mighty weapon and tool in taking back what the enemy has stolen.

We need to pray; Ephesians 6:18. Pray believing and watch Gods hand perform miracles.
It might take time, and patience. Rest a bit but do not let up or cease to pray. Let God do the rest as he purposes and wills. But watch for signs of it. In little things as well as big ones.

YOUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS NEED YOUR PRAYERS ALWAYS

Dearly beloved pray for your family now! while your reading this.
Let me tell you why. About four years ago while I was in prayer a voice came to my mind as clear as if someone was standing in the room with me . This voice said " go stand by your family because Satan is out to get your family to destroy it. He wants to break up all families, to get each of us alone and then in despair he will make His attack".

I know this sounds strange but over these past few years I have seen many people lose the ones they love to divorce, death, separation, even infighting of churches.
Beloved we need to love each other more now than ever before.
Don’t let little things grow into bigger fights, work things out .
Tell each other how you feel . Don’t hold things in till they can’t be worked out .

We as grown people need to stop playing games with each other . Don’t You know , that we are running out of time? Jesus is on His way back and our enemy Satan is just waiting for those who have given up. He will move in for the kill if we are down and out and not watching . Take a LOOK around you , who is hurting the most in your family?
If it is you tell someone, don’t let pride stop you, call a family member to talk to , call a minister. "Ask and you shall receive," if you don’t ask, how is anyone to know that you are in trouble?
PRIDE CAN KILL YOU OR SOMEONE WHO YOU LOVE.. STOP HERE !
Your saying wait a minute what is this guy saying ?

This is a good time to ask "Is something wrong with my family"? Have I talked to my wife lately, how about the kids? How is that aunt or uncle doing, or how about grandma and grandpa, are they o.k.?
Take a short time to think of every family member you can think of and pray for them all, NOW.

I FEEL VERY COMPELLED TO write about this subject . I feel moved by the Holy Spirit to warn everyone of expanding doom! PLEASE take this message to heart right now.
Your families very lives could depend on it! Jesus told his decipher "to love one another" .
Love covers all sin!
Blessed ones , don’t take this lightly, hold tightly to the ones you love .
Right now go into prayer today ! Because we just don’t know about tomorrow or what bad thing could happen?

YOUR HUMBLE

SERVANT TO THE Lord
