Isaiah 51: 1 Listen to me, you that follow after righteousness, you that seek the LORD; look to the rock from which you were hewn, and to the hole of the pit from which you were dug.

Isaiah 51: 4 Listen to me, my people, and give ear to me, O my nation; for a law shall proceed from me, and I will make my judgment to rest for a light of the people.

Isaiah 51: 7 Listen to me, you that know righteousness, the people in whose heart is my law; fear you not the reproach of men, neither be, you afraid of their insults.

Isaiah 55: 1 Listen, to all of you who are thirsty, you come to the waters, and you that have no money, you come, buy and eat; yes, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price.

Isaiah 55: 2 For, what reason do you spend money for that which is not bread; and your labor for that which satisfies not? Listen diligently to me, and you eat what is good, and let your soul delight itself in fatness.

Isaiah 55: 3 Incline your ear, and come to me; hear, and your soul shall live; and I will make an everlasting covenant with you, even the sure mercies of David.

Isaiah 55: 6 “You seek the Lord while he may be found, you call upon him while he is near.”

Joel 2: 15 “Blow the trumpet in Zion, sanctify a fast; call a solemn assembly.”

 I ASK EVERYONE TO PRAY.

 DO NOT DELAY, IT IS URGENT

 Joel 2: 12 “Therefore also now, says the LORD, turn you even to me with all your heart, and with fasting, and with weeping, and with mourning.”

 “AND REND YOUR HEART AND NOT YOUR GARMENTS”

Joel 2: 13 “And rend your heart, and not your garments, and turn unto the LORD your God; for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repents him of the evil.”

 I am constantly praying, and making intercession on behalf of what is going on around us.

 We pray for the healing of the nations, of the countries, and of the land, that this dreadful disease, the Corona virus be destroyed completely, in Christ Jesus name we pray. 

 We pray that the people will be recovered from the illness, and to return to society, as early as possible, in Christ Jesus name we pray.

 We pray that God will be the Provider and the Redeemer, the Protector and the Deliverer, for every one, in all nations, in all countries, and in the land, in Christ Jesus name we pray.

 I strongly believe, that God wants us to trust him; and we should trust him, by praying to him with heart-felt sincerity, through Christ Jesus the Lord.

 Let us all go before the LORD in prayer, through Christ Jesus, in the healing of the land, and the healing of the nations with no delay.

 With sincere hearts, let us repent, in prayers, and supplication.

 God is merciful and forgiving, his promises are true.

 Psalm 103: 1-22

 Psalm 103: 6 “The LORD executes righteousness and judgment for all that are oppressed.”

 Psalm 103: 7 “He made known his ways unto Moses, his acts unto the children of Israel.”

 Psalm 103: 8 “The LORD is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy.”

 Psalm 103: 13 “Like as a father pities his children, so the LORD pities them that fear him.”

 Psalm 103: 14 “For he knows our frame; he remembers that we are dust.”

 God is willing, let us believe and trust him.

 In Christ Jesus name we pray. Amen.

 The LORD wants me to end with this verse.

Ezekiel 12: 25 “For I am the LORD, I will speak, and the word that I shall speak shall come to pass; it shall be no more prolonged, for in your days, O rebellious house, will I say the word, and will perform it, says the Lord God.”

"CHRIST THE HIGH PRIEST”

1 “Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus;

2 Who was faithful to him that appointed him; as also Moses was faithful in all, his house.

3 For this man was counted worthy of more glory than Moses, inasmuch as he who hath built the house hath more honor than the house.” Hebrews 3: 1-3 

“BUT HE THAT BUILT ALL THINGS IS GOD”

4 “For every house is built by some man, but he that built, all things is God.

5 And Moses verily 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 we are, if we hold fast the confidence, and the rejoicing of the hope, firm unto the end.” Hebrews 3: 4-6

“TODAY IF YOU WILL HEAR HIS VOICE.” 

7 “Wherefore (as the Holy Ghost says, today if you will hear his voice.

8 Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of temptation in the wilderness.

9 When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my works forty years. Hebrews 7-9

“TAKE HEED BRETHREN”

10 “Wherefore I was grieved with that generation, and said, they do always err in their heart; and they have not known my ways.

11 So, I swear in my wrath, they shall not enter into my rest.)

12 Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God.” Hebrews 3: 10-12

"LET US EXHORT ONE ANOTHER DAILY,”

13 “But exhort one another daily, while it is called ‘Today’ lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.

14 For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence steadfast unto the end.”

15 While it is said ‘Today,’ if you will hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation.” Hebrews 3: 13-1

“BUT TO THEM THAT BELIEVED NOT”

16 “For some, when they had heard, did provoke; howbeit not all that came out of Egypt by Moses. 

17 But with whom was he grieved forty years? Was it not with them that had sinned, whose carcasses fell in the wilderness?

18 And to whom swear he that they should not enter into his rest, but to them that believed not?

19 So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief.” Hebrews 3: 16-19

Amen.

“THE GREAT COMMANDMENT”

MATTHEW 22: 34-40

34 “But when the Pharisees had heard that he had put the Sadducees to silence, they were gathered together.

35 Then one of them, which was a lawyer, asked him a question, tempting him, and saying,

36 Master, which is the great commandment in the law?

37 Jesus said unto him you shall love, the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind.

38 This is the first and great commandment.

39 And the second is like unto it, you shall love your neighbors as yourself.

40 On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.” Matthew 22: 34-40

"MOVED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT"

20 “And knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.

“EYE WITNESSES OF HIS MAJESTY”

15 “Moreover I will endeavor that you may be able after my decease to have these things always in remembrance.

The Apostle Peter wrote the things they had witnessed. He said, keep these things in remembrance.

Peter said, that they were eyewitnesses, and they heard the voice of God the Father, came from heaven; when they were on the holy mount.  

"THIS VOICE CAME FROM HEAVEN"

17 “For he received from God the Father honor and glory, when there came such a voice to him from the excellent glory, ‘this is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.

CHRIST JESUS, “IN THE BEGINNING”

 1“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

 2 The same was in the beginning with God.

 3 All things were made by him, and without him, was nothing made that was made.

 5 And the light shines in darkness; and the darkness did not comprehend it.” John 1: 1-5

LET US EXHORT ONE ANOTHER DAILY

“WHOSOEVER SHALL CALL UPON THE NAME OF THE LORD SHALL BE SAVED.”

 FEBRUARY 6, 2019

The bible states, 

9 “That if you shall confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and shall believe in your heart that God hath raised him from the dead, you shall be saved.

10 For with the heart man believes unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

11 For the scripture says, whosoever believes on him shall not be ashamed.

12 For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek; for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him.

13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.”

39 And this is the Father’s will who hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day.

“AND THEY FOLLOW ME”

Jesus said, 

27 “My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.

28 And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.

30 I and my Father are one.”

JOHN 10: 27-30

SEPTEMBER 11, 2018

God, I know that I am a sinner, forgive me of my sins.

By faith I believe, that Jesus Christ died on the cross, and his blood was shed for my sins; and on the third day, God raised him from the dead.

Lord Jesus, I accept you as my Lord and my Savior in my life. 

Thank you Lord for saving me. Amen.

MATTHEW 6: 19-20, KJV “BUT LAY UP FOR YOURSELVES TREASURES IN HEAVEN,”

19 Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: 

20 But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:

 PSALM 40: 10-17, KJV "SAY CONTINUALLY, THE LORD BE MAGNIFIED."

16 Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee: let such as love thy salvation say continually, The LORD be magnified.

17 But I am poor and needy; yet the LORD thinketh upon me: thou art my help and my deliverer; make no tarrying, O my God. Amen. 

 MATTHEW 6: 25-27, KJV “IS NOT THE LIFE MORE THAN MEAT, AND THE BODY THAN RAIMENT?”

 25 Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat (food), and the body than raiment? 

26 Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not (of much more value) much better than they?

27 Which of you by (being worried) taking thought can add one cubit unto his (growth) stature?

PSALM 34: 5-7, KJV “AND THE LORD HEARD HIM,”

5 They looked unto him, and were lightened: and their faces were not ashamed.

6 This poor man cried, and the LORD heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles.

7 The angel of the LORD encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them.

PSALM 72: 12-14, KJV “FOR HE SHALL DELIVER THE NEEDY”

12 For he shall deliver the needy when he crieth; the poor also, and him that hath no helper.

13 He shall spare the poor and needy, and shall save the souls of the needy.

14 He shall redeem their soul from deceit and violence: and precious shall their blood be in his sight.

PROVERBS 3: 9-10, KJV “AND WITH THE FIRSTFRUITS OF ALL THINE INCREASE:”

9 Honour the LORD with thy substance, and with the firstfruits of all thine increase:

10 So shall thy barns be filled with plenty, and thy presses shall burst out with new wine.

PROVERBS 4: 20-23, KJV “MY SON, ATTEND TO MY WORDS; “

20 My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings.

21 Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart.

22 For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh.

PROVERBS 3:11-12, KJV “MY SON, DESPISE NOT THE CHASTENING OF THE LORD:”

11 My son, despise not the chastening of the LORD: neither be weary of his correction:

12 For whom the LORD loveth he correcteth; even as a father the son in whom he delighteth.

PROVERBS 3; 5-6, KJV “TRUST IN THE LORD WITH ALL THINE HEART;”

5 Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.

6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.

ISAIAH 52: 7-8, KJV “THY GOD REIGNETH!”

7 How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace; that bringeth good tidings of good, that publisheth salvation: that saith unto Zion, Thy GOD reigneth!

8 Thy watchmen shall lift up the voice together, shall they sing: for they shall see eye to eye, when the LORD shall bring again Zion.

 JANUARY 29, 2018

WHEREFORE, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus;

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

3 For this man was counted worthy of more glory 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 was faithful in all his house, as a servant, for a testimony of those things which were to be spoken after;

 TO DAY IF YOU WILL HEAR HIS VOICE.

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

7 Wherefore (as the Holy Ghost saith, To day if ye will hear his voice.

8 Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of temptation in the wilderness:

9 When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my works forty years.

10 Wherefore I was grieved with that generation, and said, They do alway err in their heart; and they have not known my ways.

11 So I sware in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest.)

 “BUT EXHORT ONE ANOTHER DAILY,”

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

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

14 For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the end;

15 While it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation.

16 For some, when they had heard, did provoke; howbeit not all that came out of Egypt by Moses.

17 But with whom was he grieved forty years? was it not with them that had sinned, whose carcasses fell in the wilderness?

18 And to whom sware he that they should not enter into his rest, but to them that believed not?

19 So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief.

“EVEN SO IN CHRIST SHALL ALL BE MADE ALIVE.”

MARCH 20, 2018

22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.

23 But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ’s at his coming.

24 Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power.

25 For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet.

26 The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death. Amen.

1 CORINTHIANS 15: 22-26, KJV

“AT THE LAST TRUMP: FOR THE TRUMPET SHALL SOUND,”

MARCH 20, 2018

49 And as we borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.

50 Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.

51 Behold, I shew you a mystery: We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,

52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.

53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.

54 So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.

55 O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?

56 The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law. Amen.

1 CORINTHIANS 15: 49-56, KJV

MATTHEW 6: 25-34, KJV

“IS NOT THE LIFE MORE THAN MEAT, AND THE BODY THAN RAIMENT?”

JULY 12, 2018

25 Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat (food), and the body than raiment? 

26 Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not (of much more value) much better than they?

27 Which of you by (being worried) taking thought can add one cubit unto his (growth) stature?

28 And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin:

29 And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not was not arrayed like one of these.

30 Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which today is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith?

31 Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?

32 (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.

33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

34 (Do not worry) Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof. Amen.

 PSALM 111

PRAISE ye the LORD. I will praise the LORD with my whole heart, in the assembly of the upright, and in the congregation. 

2 The works of the LORD are great, sought out of all them that have pleasure therein. 

3 His work is honourable and glorious: and his righteousness endureth for ever. 

4 He hath made his wonderful works to be remembered: the LORD is gracious and full of compassion.
5 He hath given meat unto them that fear him: he will ever be mindful of his covenant. 

6 He hath shewed his people the power of his works, that he may give them the heritage of the heathen.
7 The works of his hands are verity and judgment; all his commandments are sure.

8 They stand fast for ever and ever, and are done in truth and uprightness. 

9 He sent redemption unto his people: he hath commanded his covenant for ever: holy and reverend is his name.
10 The fear of the LORD isthe beginning of wisdom: a good understanding have all they that do his commandments: his praise endureth for ever. Amen.

PSALM 112
PRAISE ye the LORD. Blessed is the man that feareth the LORD, that delighteth 

greatly in his commandments.
2 His seed shall be mighty upon earth: the generation of the upright shall be blessed. 

3 Wealth and riches shall be in his house: and his righteousness endureth for ever.
4 Unto the upright there ariseth light in the darkness: he is gracious, and full of compassion, and righteous.
5 A good man sheweth favour, and lendeth: he will guide his affairs with discretion.
6 Surely he shall not be moved for ever: the righteous shall be in everlasting remembrance.
7 He shall not be afraid of evil tidings: his heart is fixed, trusting in the LORD. 

8 His heart is established, he shall not be afraid, until he see his desire upon his enemies.
9 He hath dispersed, he hath given to the poor; his righteousness endureth for ever; his horn shall be exalted with honour. 

10 The wicked shall see it, and be grieved; he shall gnash with his teeth, and melt away: the desire of the wicked shall perish. Amen.

 PSALM 122

A Song of degrees of David.
I WAS glad when they said unto me, Let us go into the house of the LORD.
2 Our feet shall stand within thy gates, O Jerusalem.
3 Jerusalem is builded as a city that is compact together:
4 Whither the tribes go up, the tribes of the LORD, unto the testimony of Israel, to give thanks unto the name of the LORD.
5 For there are set thrones of judgment, the thrones of the house of David.
6 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love thee.
7 Peace be within thy walls, and prosperity within thy palaces.
8 For my brethren and companions’ sakes, I will now say, Peace be within thee.
9 Because of the house of the LORD our God I will seek thy good. Amen.

 PSALM 128

A Song of degrees.
BLESSED is every one that feareth the LORD; that walketh in his ways.
2 For thou shalt eat the labour of thine hands: happy shalt thou be, and it shall be well with thee. 

3 Thy wife shall be as a fruitful vine by the sides of thine house: thy children like olive plants round about thy table.
4 Behold, that thus shall the man be blessed that feareth the LORD.

5 The LORD shall bless thee out of Zion: and thou shalt see the good of Jerusalem all the days of thy life.

6 Yea, thou shalt see thy children’s children, and peace upon Israel. Amen.

 PSALM 131

A Song of degrees of David. 

LORD, my heart is not haughty, nor mine eyes lofty: neither do I exercise myself in great matters, or in things too high for me. 

2 Surely I have behaved and quieted myself, as a child that is weaned of his mother: my soul is even as a weaned child. 

3 Let Israel hope in the LORD from henceforth and for ever. Amen.

 PSALM 133

A Song of degrees of David

BEHOLD, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!

2 It is like the precious ointment upon the head, that ran down upon the beard, even Aaron’s beard: that went down to the skirts of his garments;
3 As the dew of Hermon, and as the dew that descended upon the mountains of Zion: for there the LORD commanded the blessing, even life for evermore. Amen.

 PSALM 134

A Song of degrees.

BEHOLD, bless ye the LORD, all ye servants of the LORD, which by night stand in the house of the LORD.

2 Lift up your hands in the sanctuary, and bless the LORD.
3 The LORD that made heaven and earth bless thee out of Zion. Amen.

18 Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost.

19 Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing to make her a publick example, was minded to put her away privily.

20 But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost.

21 And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shall call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.

22 Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying,

23 Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.

24 Then, Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took unto him his wife.

25 And knew her not till she had brought forth her first born son: and he called his name JESUS. Amen.

10 And in that day there shall be a root of Jesse, which shall stand for an ensign of the people; to it shall the Gentiles seek: and his rest shall be glorious.

 11 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the Lord shall set his hand again the second time to recover the remnant of his people, which shall be left, from Assyria, and from Egypt, and from Pathros, and from Cush, and from Elam, and from Shinar, and from Hamath, and from the islands of the sea.

12 And he shall set up an ensign for the nations, and shall assemble the outcasts of Israel, and gather together the dispersed of Judah from the four corners of the earth.

 13 The envy also of Ephraim shall depart, and the adversaries of Judah shall be cut off: Ephraim shall not envy Judah, and Judah shall not vex Ephraim.

14 But they shall fly upon the shoulders of the Philistines toward the west; they shall spoil them of the east together: they shall lay their hand upon Edom and Moab, and the children of Ammon shall obey them.

15 And the LORD shall utterly destroy the tongue of the Egyptian sea; and with his mighty wind shall he shake his hand over the river, and shall smite it in the seven streams, and make men go over dryshod.

16 And there shall be a highway for the remnant of his people, which shall be left from Assyria; like as it was to Israel in the day that he came up out of the land of Egypt. Amen.

And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots:

 2 And the spirit of the LORD shall rest upon him. The spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD:

  3 And shall make him of quick understanding in the fear of the LORD: and he shall not judge after the sight of his eyes, neither reprove after the hearing of his ears:

 4 But with righteousness shall he judge the poor, and reprove with equity for the meek of the earth; and he shall smite the earth with the rod of his mouth, and with the breath of his lips shall he slay the wicked.

 5 And righteousness shall be the girdle of his loins, and faithfulness the girdle of his reins.

 6 The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; and a little child shall lead them.

 7 And the cow and the bear shall feed; their young ones shall lie down together: and the lion shall eat straw like the ox.

 8 And the suckling child shall play on the hole of the asp, and the weaned child shall put his hand on the cockatrice’ den.

9 They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain: for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea. Amen.

28 Then Peter began to say unto him. Lo, we have left all, and have followed thee.

 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 hundred fold 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. Amen.

LUKE 13: 22-30, KJV, JESUS SAID, “STRIFE TO ENTER IN AT THE STRAIT GATE:”

March 4, 2018

22 And he went through the cities and villages, teaching, and journeying toward Jerusalem.

23 Then said one unto him, Lord, are there few that be saved? And he said unto them.

24 Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able.

25 When once the master of the house is risen up, and hath shut to the door, and ye began to stand without, and to knock at the door, saying, Lord, Lord, open unto us; and he shall answer and say unto you, I know you not whence ye are:

26 Then shall ye begin to say, We have eaten and drunk in thy presence, and thou hast taught in our streets.

27 But he shall say, I tell you, I know you not whence ye are; depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity.

28 There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when ye shall see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the kingdom of God, and you yourselves thrust out.

29 And they shall come from the east, and from the west, and from the north, and from the south, and shall sit down in the kingdom of God.

30 And, behold, there are last which shall be first, and there are first which shall be last. Amen.

13 And they brought young children to him, that he should touch them: and his disciples rebuked those that brought them.

14 But when Jesus saw it, he was much displeased, and said unto them. Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not; for such is the kingdom of God.

15 Verily I say unto you. Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall not enter therein.

16 And he took them up in his arms, put his hands upon them, and blessed them. Amen

JAMES 1:12-17, KJV.

12 Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him.
13 Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man:
14 But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed.
15 Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.
16 Do not err, my beloved brethren.
17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.

 STAND UP, AND BLESS THE LORD OUR GOD, FOREVER AND EVER.

 POSTED JANUARY 28, 2018

5 (b) Then the Levites said, “Stand up and bless the LORD your God for ever and ever: and blessed be thy glorious name, which is exalted above all blessing and praise.

 6 Thou, even thou, art LORD alone; thou hast made heaven, the heaven of heavens, with all their host, the earth, and all things that are therein, the seas, and all that is therein, and thou preservest them all; and the host of heaven worshippeth thee.

 7 Thou art the LORD the God, who didst choose Abram, and broughtest him forth out of Ur of the Chal-dees, and gavest him the name of Abraham. Amen. NEHEMIAH 9: 5b-7, KJV

LET US TRUST IN THE LORD, OUR HELPER AND OUR SHIELD.

MARCH 12, 2018

Behold, the eye of the LORD is upon them that fear him, upon them that hope in his mercy;

To deliver their soul from death, and to keep them alive in famine.

Our soul waiteth for the LORD: he is our help and our shield.

For our heart shall rejoice in him, because we have trusted in his holy name.

Let thy mercy, O LORD, be upon us, according as we hope in thee. Amen.

                                                                            PSALM 33: 18-22, KJV

JAMES 1: 1-27, KJV, 3 “THE TRYING OF YOUR FAITH WORKS PATIENCE.”

AUGUST 7, 2018

 JAMES, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad, greeting.

2 My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations:

3 Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience.

4 But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.

5 If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.

 “ LET US ASK IN FAITH, AND DO NOT WAVER.”

6 But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed.

7 For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord.

8 A double minded man is unstable in all her ways.

9 Let the brother of low degree rejoice in that he is exalted.

10 But the rich, in that he is made low: because as the flower of the grass he shall pass away.

11 For the sun is no sooner risen with a burning heat, but it withereth the grass, and the flower thereof falleth, and the grace of the fashion of it perisheth: so also shall the rich man fade away in his ways.

 “BLESSED IS THE MAN THAT ENDURES TEMPTATION.”

12 Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him.

13 Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God; for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man:

14 But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed.

15 Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.

16 Do not err, my beloved brethren.

 “EVERY GOOD AND PERFECT GIFT COME DOWN FROM THE FATHER OF LIGHTS.”

17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.

18 Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures.

19 Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath:

20 For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God.

21 Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls.

 “LET US BE DOER AND HEARER OF THE WORD, AND BRIDLE OUR TONGUES.”

22 But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.

23 For if any be a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass:

24 For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was.

25 But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.

26 If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man religion is in vain.

27 Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world. Amen.

Today August 8, 2018

Sometime in November 2017, I knew I heard these words repeated two times, “PROBATION TIME WILL SOON COME TO AN END.”

 I like this definition of the word “PROBATION” in the Merriam- Webster Dictionary.  

2b The action of suspending the sentence of a convicted offender and giving the offender freedom during good behaviour under the supervision of a probation officer.

 On this date, July 19, 2018, I was urged by the Lord to write on “PROBATION TIME WILL SOON COME TO AN END.” 

 And this is how the Holy Spirit led me.

 THE BEGINNING

Today, I was urged to write something on it.

OH Lord God, help me! 

THE MESSAGE

“It is time for you to stop playing house, and get back to the Garden of Eden. It is time for you to search for me. Oh you that slumber. Wake up! It is time for you to be aroused out of your sleep. 

For the day will come, when you shall no longer sleep nor slumber.”

“No more.”

“Today is your day, Today is your day of salvation. 

If you should hear my voice, do not ignore it. 

I am calling you. I am calling you out of your slumber, and your back sliding ways. I am calling you into the fold. I am doing this because of my love for you. 

Turn to me! Return to me! Call on me! And I will answer you.

Anyone who hear my voice, and answer me, I will not turn away. 

I will teach you. I say, I will teach you my ways, and show you things to come.”

“Beware of backbiters, beware of men, beware of them that hear your voice and persecute you, and say all bad things against you. Look up, and rejoice for your salvation is nearer than you think.”

“Today, if you hear my voice, do not turn away from it. LISTEN. 

Come to me.”

These are the words of the Lord. Amen. THE END

 LET US ASK GOD FOR FORGIVENESS

Heavenly Father, pardon us for all the wrong things we have done, and have spoken. We have sinned against you. Help us Lord, to do your will.

And as we go through the process of forgiving others, be our comfort and our guide. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.

MATTHEW 6: 14-15

14 If we forgive people their sins, our heavenly Father will also forgive us. 

15 But if we do not forgive people their sins, neither will our Father forgive our sins. Amen.

 GOD! WE CRY OUT TO YOU. 

Heavenly Father, we cry out to you Lord God, Oh God of the heavens and the earth, to you we cry out.  

Our Father, save your people. We come before you in repentance. Only you have we sinned against, and we are sorry for our sins. 

Touch our hearts, touch our ears, and touch our mouths, including our whole body. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.

Heavenly Father, clean us up from all unrighteousness, and teach us your ways. Restore our souls, and lead us in the path of righteousness. And let us be transformed by our renewed minds, to know what is good and acceptable, and your perfect will for us. 

In Jesus name we pray. Amen.

LET US PRAISE GOD

Heavenly Father, you are a merciful God, slow to anger, and quick to forgive. 

We thank you for your love, your compassion, your kindness, and your mercies. 

You are the creator of the heavens and the earth. 

You are a Holy God, a Righteous God, the True and Living God.

There is nothing you cannot do.

 Heavenly Father we praise you, we worship you, we love you, and we thank you.  Heavenly Father, we thank you for loving us. 

In Jesus name we pray. Amen

“HEREIN IS LOVE”

1 JOHN 4: 10-11, KJV

Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.

11 Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another.

“FOR GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD,” HE SENT HIS SON.

JOHN 3:16-17, KJV, Jesus said,

16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.

JOHN 3: 35-36, KJV

35 The Father loveth the Son, and hath given all things into his hand.

36 He that believeth on the Son, hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.

“AND YOU SHALL FIND REST UNTO YOUR SOULS.”

MATTHEW 11: 28-30, KJV, Jesus said,

28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 

29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.

30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.

 JESUS SAID, “YOU ARE MY FRIENDS,” 

JOHN 15:12-14, KJV, Jesus said,

12 This is my commandment, That ye (you) love one another, as I have loved you.

13 Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.

14 Ye (You) are my friends, if ye (you) do whatsoever I command you.

“FOR ALL HAVE SINNED,” “IF WE CONFESS OUR SINS,”

ROMANS 3: 23-24, KJV

23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God,

24 Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus.

1 JOHN 1: 8-9, KJV

8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.

9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 

“BUT THE DAY OF THE LORD WILL COME ……”

2 PETER 3: 9-10, KJV

9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.

These are some encouraging verses that may be useful to you. The bible states, that God give us free will to choose, and it is up to us to make our choice. 

JOSHUA 24: 14-16, KJV

14 Now therefore fear the LORD, and serve him in sincerity and in truth: and put away the gods which your fathers served on the other side of the flood, and in Egypt; and serve ye the LORD.

15 And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.

16 And the people answered and said, God forbid that we should forsake the LORD, to serve other gods:

 DUETERONOMY 30: 19-20, KJV

19 I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live:

20 That thou mayest love the LORD thy God, and that thou mayest obey his voice, and that thou mayest cleave unto him: for he is thy life, and the length of thy days: that thou mayest dwell in the land which the LORD sware unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give them.

THE ACCEPTANCE PRAYER

God, I know that I am a sinner, forgive me of my sins.

By faith I believe, that Jesus shed his blood, and died on the cross for my sins; and on the third day, God raised him from the dead.

Lord Jesus, I accept you as my Lord and my Savior in my life. 

Thank you Lord for saving me. Amen.
