It Is Written,1 Corinthians 2:9 – 10, but as it is written:"eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor have entered into the heart of man the things which God has prepared for those who love Him" but God has revealed them to us through His Holy Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes the deep things of God.
I have written many messages so far. As I have said many times, I believe I was led by the Holy Spirit. Everything I wrote about was true as far as I know it.
A short time ago, the thought came to me that I was missing out on a lot of blessings. I inquired of the Holy Spirit, and just that quick He told me the problem was that I did not ask for His wisdom or help. He said He listens and helps with even the smallest thing 24/7.
That same day I was fixing something, and after getting nowhere for a couple of hours, I finally smartened up and asked for His help. A tiny little voice told me what to do, and 10 min. later it was done. As days and weeks went by I began to ask for His help before I did anything. Even if I knew how to do something I still asked for His help. It got to the point where I started saying to Him okay Holy Spirit, what should we do, or how should we do this?
I can only tell you this. The Holy Spirit answered every time within minutes. It was always right. I'm so convinced of His faithfulness, that I have total faith in the outcome when I listen. I have seen the impossible happen and I'm so excited about Him in my life, that words can't express it.
If you saw Him do what I have seen him do, you would never doubt if you live to be 100. As a byproduct, I feel I finally have a real relationship with God.
Ask the Holy Spirit about something you aren't sure about. Then choose to see the result you want, and it will happen.

Another Thanksgiving
It Is Written, Ephesians 5:20, give thanks always for all things to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Thanksgiving, as we all know by now, is a traditional day of thanks to the Lord. I would like to put the following thoughts out there for all to think about. First of all I suggest thanking God every day. We ask Him for something every day, yet most of us thank Him once a year. What is wrong with that picture? Think about this. If your family asks you for something every day, and thank you once a year, and still complained that you weren't fast enough in giving them what they want, how would you feel? By the grace of God, he is not like most of us.
Second. We all have our traditional list of things we thank God for. It is a list of things we don't have to think about. Sound sincere? How about we give thanks to God for what He does for us every day. Most good does not happen to us because we are clever. When you take a breath, is it your effort, or God's grace? Get the idea?
Third. Have you ever thought about thanking God for what didn't happen?For instance an argument with your spouse that didn't get ugly. How about an accident that didn't happen, or a sickness you didn' get. You didn't lose your job, things like that.
This last group takes a little time to figure out because the facts are unknown. When something bad or unpleasant happens to someone, remember it could've been you.An expression I use quite often when I see someone who appears to be unfortunate, such as a homeless person, I say to myself, but for the grace of God there go I.
God has a job for each one of us. If you happen to get a good job, live in a peaceful place, don't look down on someone else. That other person's life could have been yours. We each play a part, according to God's plan. He decides, and gives us a part for His reasons, not because we are so good are so bad. God is the creator, He gets to decide.
So put your heart into your thanks, and do it every day, it really doesn't hurt. Praise the Lord!

If God Said It, It Is True
It Is Written, Joshua 21:45, not a word failed of any good thing which the Lord had spoken to the house of Israel.
Most homes have a Bible. Some have a big family Bible. Most of the time, it is used to record births, deaths, and marriages. A lot of times, it is just like the nick nacks and lays on a table.
A lot of times, even people that occasionally read it, don't understand its true significance. They often say that they don't have time to read it, and pass it off as just another storybook. They usually take some incident in it to question the fairness of God. Usually all of the killing in the Old Testament is used as their chief argument. The problem is they took something out of context, and never read the reasons.
Then you have the other group of people, who again take things out of context, and will tell you about everything they cannot accept about what they read, even though Jesus may have said it. They usually try to explain what they feel God was thinking, or what He really meant.
The Bible is the Word of God, period. He knew what He was saying, and He meant what He said. The Bible is not open to opinions. You must believe it all. You don't get to create your own version. If you study it with a good study Bible, you will find yourself understanding it, and possibly even keeping your opinion out of what is said.
After reading the Bible a number of times, I see how much God loves me by what is in the Word. As you study you begin to see God's plan. I believe if a person started young, and lived by what the Bible teaches, he or she would live a very contented, productive life, because they would more than likely have a true relationship with God.
Believing the whole Bible is a choice. I made up my mind that I believe everything the Bible says, even though my human brain sometimes tries not to accept certain things. I admit there are a few things I will ask Jesus to explain to me. You must forget your pride and believe as a little child just the way it is written in the Bible. The big thing you must always remember is if God said it, it is, regardless of what anyone says. Do not be misled by people you think might be smarter than you. Trust God.
The Bible was written to help us get back to heaven. God's word is not foolish. Life is made up of rules for everything we do. Just as in a game, if you don't follow the rules, you lose. The Bible is one set of rules, that none of us can afford to ignore. Praise the Lord!

Signs Of The Times
It Is Written, 2 Timothy 2:12, if we endure, we shall also reign with Him. If we deny Him, He also will deny us.
It Is Written Matthew 24:13 but he who endures to the end shall be saved.
Both of these verses are good to keep in the back of your mind, because times are tough and getting tougher. I start this message by saying I am not a gloom and doom person. I also want to make it clear that I am not predicting the future or when the end times will begin.
The other day I was watching a couple of news programs. I don't normally do that, because the news makes me angry at times. In a nutshell, innocent people at prayer were hacked to pieces. Then they showed people dancing in the street to celebrate this horrific occurrence. One of the people proclaimed that the murderers are heros, and are in heaven.
A bit later, another network showed tapes of speeches made by the top government guy, containing dozens of out right lies. Another key individual on a number of occasions proclaimed that the voters are stupid . He came right out and said people could not handle the truth, so they had to be lied to for their own good.
The next video showed a person that is in Congress, as well as a few others, making inflammatory speaches that amounted to inciting violence. The rule of law, and the entire justice system, as well as the Constitution, are all being trampled on, by the very people who are supposed to ensure law and justice.
So by now if you are still reading, you are probably wondering what this is all about. satan thought that by killing Jesus, that he would be higher than God. He was wrong.
If you look at the world today, all you see is chaos and unbelievable violence. satan seems to be trying again. He just might be making another gigantic mistake. People generally like to leave God on a shelf somewhere out of sight. There is something pretty predictable about humans. When things get really bad, and are getting worse, the survival instinct kicks in, and they call out to God. Even self-proclaimed atheists have been known to do that.
It seems logical to me that satan really messed up again. Because of all the turmoil, there is a good possibility that more and more people are turning to God. Somehow that is a comforting thought. One thing we must all keep in mind, is that the story has already been written, and satan loses. All we have to do is trust God, and hang in there. Praise the Lord!

The Holy Spirit And Us
It
Is Written,1 John 4:13, by this we know that we abide in Him, and He
in us, because He has given us of His Spirit.
The
average person seems to be unaware of who the Holy Spirit is, or what
He does. The idea of the Trinity baffles a lot of people. They have a
tendency to ignore, or not believe in something they don't
understand. Faith is strange and even foolish to most of them.
When
Jesus was on this Earth, He worked many miracles through the power of
the Holy Spirit. Jesus himself said He only did what His father said,
and He could do no miracles on His own. Don't forget that Jesus time
on this Earth was as a man. His faith is what the Holy Spirit acted
on.
When
Jesus rose from the dead, it was the Holy Spirit that made Him rise.
Before Jesus went back to heaven, He told the apostles that they were
to do everything He did and more in His name. He also said He would
send the same Holy Spirit that was helping Him. The Holy Spirit would
guide, teach, and give them wisdom and power to do what Jesus did.
Through
the years, all of that was passed down to us. Everything Jesus and
the apostles were able to do, we can do. We have the same Holy
Spirit.
The
Holy Spirit talks to everyone, to bring them to God. Many people
don't hear His tiny voice, or they ignore it. With the passing of
time that little voice gets quieter and eventually goes away, when it
is ignored. If however one of these people eventually seeks Jesus,
the Holy Spirit will act.
Many
times people will talk about a feeling, or what they call intuition.
That is probably the Holy Spirit trying to help them. When you listen
and act on that voice, you will see amazing things. You avoid
trouble, you make good decisions, and sometimes it will even save
your life. The Holy Spirit is always with you. If you have to make a
decision, ask Him for wisdom. He will tell you, and you will have
peace in your heart.
Believe
me when I tell you that what I said is true. I lived every day. Put
so-called common sense away and go with Holy Spirit sense. Praise the
Lord!
Remember
Jesus Loves You
Prayer
of Salvation
Lord
Jesus, I thank you for what you did on the cross for me. Your blood
washed away all my sins, by your stripes I was healed, your death and
resurrection brought me salvation. Please forgive my sins, and come
into my heart as my personal Savior.
Thank
You
Amen

Wake Up Christians Revised
My Friends:
Yesterdays post had a typo in it. This is the revised post.
The highlighted part is the revision.
My apologies for the problem.
I'm not in the habit of writing editorials, and I certainly am not a politician. I'm just an ordinary Christian that thinks it is time to wake up Christians everywhere.
Every day people all over world, including the USA, live in societies that condone murder, accept violence, and persecution just to name a few of these outrages.
Ungodly people run everything from countries, to schools. Courts designed to protect citizens, forget what justice is. Instead of interpreting a constitution, they rewrite laws to fit the way they think. People in charge of various things take care of themselves, not the people who elected them.
It doesn't stop there. God and Jesus have become extinct in some places and endangered in other's. Even the USA, founded on biblical principles,has forgotten God, and has headed down, like other godless countries. Now for instance good is bad, and bad is good. The moral decline is outstanding.
People have gone to jail or have been killed for saying Jesus name in many countries. Chaplains in the military have been ordered not to use Jesus name when they pray. To get even more ridiculous if that's possible, a cemetery refused to allow the name of Jesus from being inscribed on a new tombstone. The reason? Someone might be offended. Well thank God they finally gave in this after a lot of pressure.
Well fellow Christians, I could go on and on. I don't know about anyone else, but I am offended we are treated this way. My initial thoughts were anger when I heard things like this. Now I see it in a new light.
Jesus taught us to love our enemies and pray for those who persecute us. That is the answer. With all of the Christians in this world, our combined, sincere, constant prayer, can change the world.
When elections come, find out what people's records say about them. Talk is cheap. Vote according to Biblical principles. If you don't act, don't complain. If things get worse, and they will, don't be surprised. If you didn't make your voice heard for God, you deserve it. I heard it said not too long ago, that we all get the leadership we deserve. I think we all need to put ourselves in the position, that deserves better. Praise the Lord!
