The Hidden Lie

John 8:44, You are of your father the devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desires. He was a murderer, from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he tells a lie, he speaks from his own nature, because he is a liar and the father of Lies.

We were having our coffee yesterday, and my wife asked me about my inflamed tendon. She asked if I prayed about it yet. I told her I prayed when it happened a few weeks ago. And it was only slightly better, but I believe it is healed.

Let me start by saying I have experienced life and death Miracles, and healings that took what seemed like forever. In my years I am well acquainted with both.

While we were talking the Holy Spirit put in my heart, something I never thought about. satan tries to block our prayers so we don’t believe and resort to blaming God or giving up on prayer.

Matthew 21:22, And if you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer.

John 14: 13-14, whatever you ask in My name I will do it so that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask Me anything in My name, I will do it.

Let me explain a couple of truths that many people don’t realize.

1.  satan never rests

2.  God allows things in order to grow our faith.

3.  God usually works through doctors.

4.  Miracles still happen.

5.  Prayer overcomes any situation.

6.  Some things take time.

7.  God’s timing is perfect.

8.  God always hears us.

I learned all these things and more through time and experience. Just as a suggestion I write the following prayer as an example you might want to think about when you pray. This is an example of how I pray, but I’m not saying this is the only way. Use your own words from your own heart.

Heavenly Father, I know you love me and always hear what I say. Thank you once again for hearing me.

Put your hand on the problem area and say, satan, in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the power of the Holy Spirit I reject this infirmity and command you to take it back.

Heavenly Father I put this problem in your hands and receive what I ask in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. That is total healing of every infirmity in my body. I thank you and I praise you for hearing me once again.

God will never ever let you down!

Mark 11:24, I tell you everything you pray and ask for, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.

God bless you and your family. Praise The Lord!

Remember Jesus loves you.

Prayer of Salvation.

Lord Jesus, please forgive all my sins and come into my heart as my personal savior. I know you suffered, died, and rose from the dead to make that possible for me, And I thank you and praise you.

My Time With Jesus Tuesday

The Truth In Life

Ecclesiastes 7: 10, don't say, why were the former days better than these? Since it is not wise of you to ask this.

Most people reach a point in life that brings back the good old days. We remember things that we enjoyed when we were young, and the things we did that we can no longer do.

These thoughts are usually triggered by the stress of life in these present circumstances. Our memories usually look at past pleasures and difficulties through the window of time. Some things are remembered as better, or worse, than they were. We may even feel sorry for ourselves and get depressed.

So how do we get rid of those thoughts? We must see them as they are. They were and are just things. We enjoy them as they happen, then they are gone. Everything on this earth is temporary. The greatest victories and defeats are lost in time. All our efforts are chasing the wind.

If we live in the past, we destroy the future. The past blocks our view of the future. We need to leave the past in the past. Look to the future and enjoy every bit of it while it lasts, because someday it will be in the past.

Romans 8: 5, for those who live according to the flesh have their minds set on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit have their mind set on the things of the Spirit.

The only thing that is permanent, is eternity. We must consider how long that is. It is forever. Where will we spend it, with God or satan? If we think about God or satan, we should realize that God is loving, good, and truthful. satan on the other hand is evil, hates everyone, and the father of lies.

Philippians 3: 13-14, brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself to have taken hold of it. The one thing I do; Forgetting what is behind and reaching forward to what is ahead.

Think about the fact that whatever we pursue that is of this world, will perish. So why would we spend our lives for that which will not last, and possibly lead to our destruction?

If we receive the Lord Jesus Christ in our heart, we will be guided in life in a way that will give us hope, happiness, and eternity with God. Jesus died for us so that if we accept what He did, birth, death, resurrection, and we repent our sins, we will be saved.

Remember satan is a dead end, leading to destruction. God bless you and your family. 

Praise The Lord!

Remember Jesus loves you.

Prayer of Salvation.

Lord Jesus, please forgive all my sins, and come into my heart as my personal savior. I want to serve only you. 

Praise The Lord!

Father I'm so grateful for having you in my life. 

Amen

The Reason

Ephesians 2:8, For by Grace you have been saved through faith and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God.

Here we are at Christmas once again. This normal time of happiness closes out a tough year for many people. Their happiness and joy has taken a real gut punch. It may be the perfect time to take another look at Christmas.

Christmas was a pagan celebration to bring in the changing of the seasons the winter solstice. The name Christmas comes from the phrase Mass of Christ. The name of Christmas and the date of December 25th was started in the year 336 ad. After emperor Constantine became a Christian,  he proclaimed that date as Christmas.

Over the years, Christmas evolved into a secular holiday for most people.It  is a time of family and friends, exchanging gifts, and celebrating together in most of the world, There is little or no connection to Jesus.

In times like these, it is especially important to remember the real reason for the season. Jesus Christ. If we think about many of the things we hear, and see, at this time of year, it is easy for most people to get distracted.

The Angels proclaimed Joy to the world to the shepherds, lowest of the low. That Joy would come when people started to realize what a Savior was, and why He came.

Over the years, what we call hymns, and many of the Christmas carols, we're written by people expressing their Joy and reverence for the Christ Child. The next time you hear songs like Silent Night, Oh Come All Ye Faithful, and many others  think about the words and what they really mean. They will touch your soul. They will awaken your spirit.

A couple of facts to remember. Man was born separated from God because of sin. Man had no way to redeem himself. He needed a savior more than a man dying of thirst needs water.

John 3:16 - 17, For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him, should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.

Because of Jesus coming, man could be redeemed. Man was saved from eternity in hell, because Jesus took all of man's sins on himself. He had to die in man's place. When Jesus conquered the grave and Satan, man was given Jesus righteousness and was made right with God.

Think about this. If Jesus was never born, as our savior, we would be doomed forever. If He didn't die on the cross and rise again, we would be doomed forever. If all of this isn't a reason for joy, and praising the Lord, I don't know what is.

With those two events in the history of man we have been given a fresh start and eternity with the Lord. God also gave us the Holy Spirit, whose job is to teach us, guide us, and help us to follow the Lord's plan for each of our lives, and to live according to His will. Since Jesus conquered Satan and death, we have the Holy Spirit and we have nothing to fear. God bless you and your family. 

Praise The Lord!

Remember Jesus loves you.

My Time With Jesus Tuesday

The Greatest Gift

John 3:16-17, for God so loved the world that He gave His only Son so that everyone who believes in Him may not perish but may have eternal life. Indeed, God did not send the Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through Him.

I would like to tell you a story. This story is about Jesus and how and why He came to Earth on a rescue mission.

Genesis 1: 26-27, then God said, let us make humankind in our image, according to Our likeness; and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over all the wild animals of the Earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps upon the Earth. So, God created humankind In His Image, and the image of God He created them, male and female He created them.

Just to explain what the image of God is, I ran across this statement that I would like to share with you. This came from one of the Bibles that I have. The biblical view is similar as people were created in the image of God, embodying His qualities and doing His work. They are symbols of His presence and act on His behalf as representatives. The two words used in the text differ in nuance. Image refers to something that contains the essence of something else while likeness is more connected to substance expressing a resemblance at some level.

Man with his Free will drifted from God’s perfect plan, and in time became his own God. God hates sin, in any form or degree, and man sinned.

God tried to get man back on track for hundreds of years by sending prophets to teach and guide the people. The problem was and is that sin puts you under the control of satan, the picture of ultimate Evil.

It was obvious to God from the start, that man could not pay the debt of his sins to his creator. Man tried with blood sacrifices of animals, but that only covered sin, it didn’t forgive sin.

The only way to pay a perfect God, was with a perfect blood sacrifice. There was no other way to pay for the sin price. Hell was in the future.

Our sinless perfect creator sent His sinless perfect Son, to shed His sinless perfect blood as a way to pay for our sin debt. Jesus came to this earth on a rescue mission. His mission was to live as a man, in the flesh, and experience everything that man experiences. He was to teach man how to live by His example and in the end to be a blood sacrifice to forgive sins for all who accept Him.

This was the first step in God’s plan for man’s Redemption. This was our Creator’s perfect gift to us. His perfect gift cost the highest price that can ever be paid. His Son gave His life for us. The rest of this story ends with His death and resurrection. That story is for another day.

Have any of us really thought about this at Christmas time, or any time for that matter? Have we been grateful for what Jesus did? Have we accepted Jesus as our savior? Have we tried to follow Him in even a small way?

There is a way to show our appreciation. Ask Jesus to forgive your sins and to come into your heart as your savior. One other thing. Tell Jesus that you give your heart and the rest of your life to do God’s will. Celebrate Christmas as Jesus birth, your Redemption, and your new life in him. I did, and it is beyond words.

It is fine to celebrate Christmas with Christmas trees and all the rest of it but let us not forget the most important reason of all and that is Jesus Christ’s birthday. Think on this, if He didn’t come to this earth, and do what He did, we would all be headed for an eternity with satan. This was God’s beginning of the Redemption of all mankind. God bless you and your family. 

Praise The Lord!

Remember Jesus loves you.

Prayer of Salvation.

Lord Jesus, please forgive all of my sins, and come into my heart as my personal savior. I want to serve only you.

Living In Truth Or Denial

Matthew 7:21-23, Not everyone who says to Me, Lord, Lord, shall enter the Kingdom of Heaven, but he who does the will of my Father in Heaven. Many will say to Me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name? And then I will declare to them, I never knew you, depart from Me you who practice lawlessness!

It's a sad thing to say, but many will hear those words. When they do it will be too late. So how can we avoid hearing those words? Many people believe they’re saved because they follow a religion and man-made rules. Salvation is by the grace of God to those who seek Him with all their hearts.

Ephesians 2:8-9, For by Grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast.

Romans 10: 8-9, but what does it say? The Word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart ( that is the word we preach) that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.

Ephesians 1: 13, In Him you also trusted, after you heard the word of Truth The Gospel of your salvation, in Whom also, having believed, you are sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise.

When you are saved, you receive the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit was sent to teach guide and help you in the way you should go. If God didn’t intend for us to follow His plan, what would be the point to Jesus’ death and Resurrection and sending the Holy Spirit to us?

The Word of God is an instruction book. We must examine our hearts and figure out where we are in God’s plan. When we receive the Holy Spirit upon salvation, we are endowed with gifts that show us and others that we really are saved. 

Galatians 5: 22-23, But the Fruit of the Spirit is love, Joy, peace, long-suffering, (patience) kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law.

If Someone is really saved, they always carry Jesus in their hearts. We either reflect Jesus’ light or we make Him an accomplice. The key thing to remember is live according to God’s plan, and follow His standards, and not our own opinion. When we follow the standards of the world, we are following satan.

James 2:14-17, What does it profit, my brother, if someone says he has Faith but does not have Works? Can Faith save him? If a brother or sister is naked and destitute of daily food, and one of you says to them depart in peace, be warmed and filled, but you do not give them the things which are needed for the body, what does it profit? Thus, all Faith by itself, if it does not have Works, it is dead.

God bless you and your family. 

Praise The Lord!

Remember Jesus loves you.

Prayer of Salvation.

Lord Jesus please forgive all my sins and come into my heart as my personal savior. I want to serve only you.

Not Done Yet

Psalm 71: 18, Now also when I am old and gray-headed, o God, do not forsake me, until I declare your strength to this generation, your power to everyone who is to come.

2 Corinthians 4:16 Therefore we do not lose heart. Even though our outward man is perishing, yet the inward man is being renewed day by day.

As we reach old age and we will, it is common for men to look back to when he or she was young. We can find many things we enjoyed, and were able to do with ease. For many people, getting old is depressing because there are some things they cannot do anymore.

My wife and I have coffee every morning and usually spend a good part of our time talking about God. During that time the Holy Spirit usually puts something on our hearts. This morning the message was about gratitude. We are to be grateful to God for all the things we were able to do in the past. That was the time for those things.

Ecclesiastes 3: 1-8, says that to everything there is a season a time for every purpose under Heaven. When you cannot do what you used to do it is time for a new season. If we focus on the past, we cannot see the future.

Proverbs 16:3,  commit your Works to the Lord and your thoughts will be established.

Psalm 92: 14, They shall bear fruit in old age;  they shall be fresh and flourishing, to declare that the Lord is upright; He is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him. 

Look at the future as a time of exciting change, a new beginning. Get the old brain going, and think out of the box, and commit your future to God. He will never disappoint if you believe.

God bless you and your family. 

Praise The Lord!

Remember Jesus loves you.

Lord Jesus, please forgive all my sins, and come into my heart as my personal savior. I want to serve only you.

My Time With Jesus Tuesday

Are You Happy

Psalm 20:4-6, May He grant you according to your heart’s desire: And fulfill your purpose: we will rejoice in your salvation and then in the name of our God we will set up our banners! May the Lord fulfill all your petitions; now I know that the Lord saves His anointed; He will answer him from His Holy Heaven with the saving strength of His right hand.

The definition of happy is, feeling or showing pleasure or contentment.

Some people would call me old. I prefer to call myself very mature. I am at a point in life that gives me a chance to sit back and let my mind wander. It was just such a time yesterday that I realized a few things that helped me, and may help you to clear your mind and be happy.

There is not a single person alive or dead that did not do some silly or plain dumb thing in their lives. These things usually cause regrets. Is that necessarily so? If you look at these incidents one at a time, you will see that they were a learning experience if you let it be. The reason I say that is because satan and his evil spirits try to make you blame God and hate yourself.

Mistakes are how we learn what not to do, and what we should do. This is how children learn. For instance, they learn about lying when they find out someone lied to them. Faith is the same way. Faith does not grow without testing. God allows all our mistakes to help us grow. Testing in life, shows us who we really are.

When Edison was asked how he invented the light bulb, he answered by saying he tested hundreds of things, so he knew what didn’t work.

In my own life I no longer look at things I did that were silly, foolish, or just plain dumb. I now see how I learned with each bad move. I also discovered what the Old Testament taught through people like David. Before you decide anything, take it to God first. Ask the Holy Spirit for help and guidance, then wait on God. If you take everything to God first you will learn the easy way, and experience true happiness and far fewer hard lessons.

God bless you and your family. 

Praise The Lord!

Remember Jesus loves you. 

Prayer of Salvation.

 Lord Jesus, please forgive all my sins, and come into my heart as my personal savior. I want to serve only you.

Blood Covenant

John 1:29, The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him, and said, Behold, the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world!

What does this verse actually tell us? What does Lamb of God mean? To answer these questions we must go back to that time. Before Jesus came, the Israelites took a lamb that had no blemishes to the temple, to be sacrificed for the remission of sins.

Hebrews 9: 22 tells us, and according to the law almost all things are purified with blood and without shedding of blood there is no remission.

Exodus 12:21 - 28  tells us about the first Passover, when the angel of death killed the firstborn of all the Egyptians. Try to make it a point to read these verses, it was kind of long to print here.

This event was actually a covenant between God and man. Many scholars believe that the lamb in each house was a substitute for the firstborn. When the angel of death came, he passed over that house that had the blood of the lamb, because it was a sign that the sins were paid for.

Matthew 26: 28  tells us, "for this is My blood of the new Covenant which shall be shed for many for the remission of sins”.

This of course was the Last Supper, and you could say that what we consider Holy Communion is where it all started. Just as in the Passover, Jesus the Lamb of God was slain and His blood spilled, as a substitute for each of us and our sins.

Ephesians 1:7 tells us, in Him we have Redemption through His blood. The forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace.

Just to clarify what a covenant is. And how serious it is. A covenant between two people, nations, etc was a sacred, unbreakable agreement each party vowed to do their best, and give their best. If either party broke it, it would carry terrible consequences.

We have a blood Covenant with Jesus. He will give us unlimited blessings, and we must give Him our hearts, and faith to His law. When we receive Holy Communion, we remember His promises to us. By His stripes we are healed, His blood washed away all of our sins. I hate to admit it, but it took many years and finally becoming a Christian to realize just how important Holy Communion is and what it means.

1 Corinthians 11:24- 27  tells us, when He had given thanks, He broke the bread and said,” take, eat this is My body which is broken for you, do this in memory of me”. In the same manner he also took the cup after supper saying, “this cup is the New Covenant in my blood. Do this as often as you drink in remembrance of me”. God bless you and your family. 

Praise The Lord!

Remember Jesus loves you.

 Prayer of Salvation.

Lord Jesus, please forgive all of my sins, and come into my heart as my personal savior. I want to serve Only You.

Genesis 1:27, so God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them

1 Samuel 16:7, but the Lord said to Samuel, do not look at his appearance or at his physical stature, because I have refused him. For the Lord does not see as man sees; for man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.

Today the message is about something that many of us have wrestled with. The problem is self-acceptance. Many people are unhappy about how they look. They spend plenty of time and money to alter their appearance. Most of the time, they are still unhappy.

We go through a never-ending cycle of torture, usually trying to be like someone else. We compare looks, talent, education, jobs, income, and the list goes on. Everyone trying to be like everyone else in some way. There is no way anyone gets real happiness with themselves, doing it that way.

God created us to be who we are. Our looks, talent, and so on. He did it because He had a special plan for each of us. We don't have to know why we are who we are, we just have to trust. When we are unhappy with our lot in life, it is as though we are telling God that He messed up when He created us. Remember this. God searches the heart. That is what we must pay attention to. Praise Him for who and what you are, and He will take care of you. I guarantee if you praise God for who you are and thank Him, your life will be worthwhile. God bless you and your family. 

Praise The Lord!

My Time With Jesus Tuesday

While You Have Time

2 Timothy 3:1-5, But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come for men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away.

If you read the book of Revelation with any sense of reality, you will read what could be tomorrow’s newspaper if written by an honest newspaper. Revelation will happen at some point in time. It sure looks to me like we are those people at the beginning of what is written.

1 Timothy 4:1, now the Spirit expressly says that in latter times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons.

 Luke 21:36, Watch therefore, and pray always that you may be counted worthy to escape all these things that will come to pass, and to stand before the Son of Man.

Believers know that we have a loving God, and that Jesus died even for our future sins. Ask yourself how long do you think God can tolerate all the sins that keep piling up? When does the sins that Jesus paid for run out?

 Any prudent person must decide where his eternity will be. When will time run out? The good news is you still have time to accept the Lord Jesus Christ as your savior. He suffered, died and rose again to give you that chance. You won’t be saved unless you come to him. 

Acts 4:12, And there is salvation and no one else, for there is no other name under Heaven given among men by which we must be saved.

Romans 10:9,  Because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead you will be saved.

No person is beyond forgiveness, if they repent, and accept Jesus and His Saving Grace. 

God bless you and your family. 

Praise The Lord!

Remember Jesus loves you.

Lord Jesus, please forgive all my sins, and come into my heart as my personal savior. I want to serve only you.

Angels

Matthew 22: 30, For in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage but are like angels of God in Heaven.

Today we will look at Angels. Angels and Spirits have been confusing to many people. Let’s break it down in order to better understand the situation.

A spirit is defined as, the physical part of a person which is the seat of emotions, character, energy: the soul.

Angels were created as spirits to minister according to God’s will. Man was created in God’s image. Since God is a spirit, we were created as spirits.

Genesis 2:7, and the Lord formed man of the dust of the ground and breathe into his nostrils the breath of life, and man became a living being.

Hebrews 1: 14, are they not all ministering spirits sent forth to minister for those who will inherit salvation?

When we pass away, we will return to God in our spiritual form, in other words as spirits the same way we started out. Since we are spirits again, we are no longer man or woman.

Ecclesiastes 12:7, Then the dust will return to the earth as it was, and the spirit will return to God who gave it.

God created man and woman for a specific purpose and that purpose ends at our death. Just as angels can appear for good or bad for a particular reason sent by God or satan.

People who believe that man and woman as created by God, can be changed by our will, are badly mistaken, and should examine where they stand with God.

One more point. Contrary to some people’s opinions, we do not turn into angels after death. That is not biblical.

God bless you and your family. 

Praise The Lord!

Remember Jesus loves you.

Prayer of Salvation

Lord Jesus, please forgive all of my sins, and come into my heart as my personal savior. I want to serve only you.

A Matter Of Life Or Death

1 Corinthians 1:18-19, For the message of the Cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. For it is written; I will destroy the wisdom of the wise and bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.

2 Timothy 3:16, All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness.

Equity is defined as being fair and impartial. Unfortunately, in their quest for equity, many well-meaning people destroy the rights of many for the sake of a few, regardless of the merit of the cause.

1 Peter 5:8, Be sober, be vigilant, because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.

If we look at the world, and the US, we see many things happening that defy logic. Many people hate Jesus. Funny thing is, how can you hate what you don’t know. Are evil spirits behind all this unexplainable behavior?

Getting back to equity. God Almighty is a perfect example of what true equity is. When the Word of God is examined, the rules are absolutely the perfect equity. God is fair, just, impartial, and allows free will.

Hebrews 11: 6, But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.

When man goes against God’s Word, he is destroying the very thing that gives equity. Man does not think as God thinks. Man will be judged as God thinks, according to God’s rules.

Where you spend eternity is your choice. God will not make you spend eternity with Him, if you don’t want to. Do yourself the favor of your life. Take a good long look at yourself to see where you are spiritually.

1 Timothy 2: 3-4, for this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.

As another reminder, eternity is forever, and where you spend it depends on your decision. Tomorrow may be too late. Are you willing to risk eternity in the wrong place? God bless you and your family. Praise The Lord!

Remember Jesus loves you.

Prayer of Salvation.

Lord Jesus, please forgive all my sins, and come into my heart as my personal savior. I want to serve only you. 

Praise The Lord!

Amen


The Deceiver

2 Corinthians 4:3-4, But even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing. Whose minds the God of this age has blinded, who do not believe, lest the light of the Gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine on them.

The definition of scam is a fraudulent scheme or deceit. satan started evil on Earth by deceiving Eve. He put doubt and questions about God’s Integrity in her mind. She fell for his lies and Lost Paradise with God. The Bible warns us about satan.

1 Peter 5:8, Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.

1 John 5:19, We know we are of God, and the whole world lies under the sway of the wicked one.

2 Corinthians 11:3, But I fear, lest somehow, as the serpent deceived Eve by his craftiness, so your minds may be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.

 All we need to do is look around anywhere in the world. Hate, violence, crime of all kinds. Everywhere people are breaking the laws of God.

Truth is truth. There is only one truth. We don’t get to pick our version of Truth. The Bible lays it all out. It is God’s way that is right and true. He decides what is right and wrong because He created it all.

satan is a deceiver and tries to tell us what our God really means by putting his spin on everything. His eternity is in hell, and he wants to take God’s people with him. Study God’s word to know what is right or wrong. The things of this world are deceitful, and the plan of satan is to grab your Immortal soul and to steal you from God if he can. God bless you and your family. Praise The Lord!

 Remember Jesus loves you.

 Prayer of Salvation.

 Lord Jesus, please forgive all my sins and come into my heart as my personal savior. I want to serve only you. 

Praise The Lord!

Amen
