Then Jesus came to them and said, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age." Matt.28:18-20 NASB
Dear Heavenly Father, we thank you for another day of life, we are all here to worship you in the ways that we can, in our hearts and our spirits and in truth, we do love you, and we all want to thank you for the peace you have given this church, and all the wisdom and knowledge that we can teach to the local people of Hilo, Hawaii- to the far ends of the earth. We have come here today to talk about your Son Jesus, and how we love Him, and how thankful we all are to have Him as our savior, please excuse my speech, but I know my healing will be coming, which will release a testimony that will stir up the whole world, and You will receive the glory upon glory, this church is all you Lord, it is Yours, guide us in Your way to the righteous conditions and ways of the early church in which Jesus wanted to build. In Jesus Name, Amen
I am here today to welcome you all to The Church Ministries Sunday Service, as always you no I am under a serve yourself health care program because of the low income I receive. I have bags upon bags of all kinds of antibiotics, syringes, and so may other essentials, and as everyone has said I should be laying down. But for all that here and see this service I know I have done my work for all to spread the love of Christ.
I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. Phil. 4:13 NKJV
Without the gentle touch of Jesus, I would probably be dead along time ago, most likely in sin. I wish to welcome all the people from Hawaii, and all the outer reaches of the world. I know many people do attend these services or read them, or read them out to there family’s and friends, and some just listen, and some cry, and some get healed, just by hearing the word, it is not uncommon, it happens all over the rustic places, of all these undeveloped countries.
So faith comes from hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ. Rom. 10:16 NASB
In many countries all over the world at many gatherings when people have not even heard the good news, or the word of God and they just hear it, there is the Holy Spirit, flowing over all these innocent people, and all kinds of miracles begin, with all kinds of healings. How strange it seems you could stand on a street corner in New York City, and either be arrested, or mugged, or yelled at, or completely ignored, so of course you will not see any miracles or blessings come about. What a strange world we live in, the innocence of a child, or the innocence of a full grown man or woman, to hear the word and to understand it, is simple your mind has to be open, like a child wanting to learn. It would be like a child wanting to ride a bicycle, he wants to learn from his father, and he listens, and is so open, to what he has to say, because he wants to learn to ride that bike, it is the same analogy for the listening of the word, the world of God and Christ, and when you truly just listen as a child, and be open as a child, then you will end up with the true understanding of the word of truth and the kingdom of heaven. So we must be open, to let the Holy Spirit in, and if we remain as humble as a child we know we have the entrance into the kingdom, plus other rewards, and so many other teachings from our Lord.
And he said: "I tell you the truth, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. Therefore, whoever humbles himself like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. Matt.18:3-4 NIV
I wish to express the love I have for Jesus to all of you, He is my all in all, He rescues me in danger, He comforts me, holds me, carries me, loves me, he is my provider, what would I do without Jesus? Who else would I talk to as a close friend that fully loves and understands me? Sometimes I can almost feel Him sitting by me as I shake from a particular fear, or just driving down the road, it is like He is there with me all the time, My fellow brother’s and sisters I don’t know where you stand with Jesus now, but when you do become close to Him, He will change you, He will change your heart and put things in your mind of a running brook, or a field of sweet smelling flowers, a tall waterfall, you can feel His presence as you look at the ocean and here the crashing of the waves, or you can hear Him in the woods between the wind and the trees, or maybe just the solitude ,the quietness of the dry open desert, or you can feel His touch when you are on your porch and hear the drops of rain , you can almost see him in the clouds, and the His movement as the sun rises, and within the colors as the sun sets. He is there with you all the time, talk to Him, welcome Him in and thank Him for giving you life when you didn’t even deserve it. Thank Him for the suffering He has done for your eternal life.
'Behold, I stand at the door and knock; if anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and will dine with him, and he with Me. Rev. 3:20 NASB
I would say He is my resting place, He is my all in all, I wish I could tell you about the thousand stories of how He has helped me out of the brink of disaster, and the many thousands of other people’s testimonies, I have heard of His saving grace.
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. The spiritual man makes judgments about all things, but he himself is not subject to any man's judgment: "For who has known the mind of the Lord that he may instruct him?" But we have the mind of Christ.1Cor. 2:14-16 NIV
I feel sorry for the men and women that do not know Christ, and I hope maybe this sermon will bring you to understand that if we don’t have that relationship with Jesus, you would all be lost and doomed into the lake of fire, suffering through eternity. I cannot understand with all the books and movies that are coming out, and all the preachers on television, how can anyone not accept our Lord and Savior, How can they not know about the love that is in God and what exactly has taken place 2,000 years ago, . Well we all know the answer to that the deceiver, the accuser, a deceptor, the thief, the liar, the lion, the serpent, the devil, Satan and the list will go on, I will not even give scripture reference for this immoral being, that has already been defeated, but we must also warn you my brother’s and sister’s that he has one third of the angels out there all feeding lies and deception into each and every man woman and child. So it is our job to show you the true path the path of righteousness to the light of Christ. Why would anyone want to live in darkness, unless they were influenced, tricked, or some other persuasion. Which we see happening everyday, to all walks of life, old, young, all races, and all cultures, it seems the evil one is running out of time, and he is doing everything possible to convert people to hell so he will have some company.
For me to live is Christ, It would be like any other person what ever they did or worker career, for me it is in Christ, the same feelings that I have for all of my brethren. In Christ I have found all things love, peace joy, tranquility, calmness, gentleness , and the loss of all fear, and worry, I used to think in my mind just having my head on Jesus’ feet and just staying there, and that would probably be the most peaceful and resting, and securest and safest place I could ever be. That is what I think about many times, as I walk through these pains and trials, tests, and sufferings. Where else is there to go?
For I live in eager expectation and hope that I will never do anything that causes me shame, but that I will always be bold for Christ, as I have been in the past, and that my life will always honor Christ, whether I live or I die. For to me, living is for Christ, and dying is even better. Yet if I live, that means fruitful service for Christ. I really don't know which is better. I'm torn between two desires: Sometimes I want to live, and sometimes I long to go and be with Christ. That would be far better for me, but it is better for you that I live.
I am convinced of this, so I will continue with you so that you will grow and experience the joy of your faith. Then when I return to you, you will have even more reason to boast about what Christ Jesus has done for me. Phil 1:20-26 NLT
Some are preaching out of jealousy and rivalry. But others preach about Christ with pure motives. They preach because they love me, for they know the Lord brought me here to defend the Good News. Those others do not have pure motives as they preach about Christ. They preach with selfish ambition, not sincerely, intending to make my chains more painful to me. But whether or not their motives are pure, the fact remains that the message about Christ is being preached, so I rejoice. And I will continue to rejoice. For I know that as you pray for me and as the Spirit of Jesus Christ helps me, this will all turn out for my deliverance. Phil 1:15-19 NLT
"I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself up for me. Gal. 2:20 NASB
"For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life.
"For God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world might be saved through Him.
"He who believes in Him is not judged; he who does not believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. John 3:16-18 NSAB
So what do we owe our Lord Jesus Love contentment, loyalty honor trust, and friendship and he gives us all things by the strength of His power, His radiance, people used to come up to me and they said they could almost see the glow of God within me and even on the outside, I do have to admit my life is changing day by day and all the things of the past the doctors the pain the suffering is at all behind me now because everyday is a new life in Christ.
And so, dear brothers and sisters, I plead with you to give your bodies to God. Let them be a living and holy sacrifice--the kind he will accept. When you think of what he has done for you, is this too much to ask? Don't copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will know what God wants you to do, and you will know how good and pleasing and perfect his will really is. Rom. 12:1-2 NLT
Whatever we do, it is because Christ's love controls us. Since we believe that Christ died for everyone, we also believe that we have all died to the old life we used to live. He died for everyone so that those who receive his new life will no longer live to please themselves. Instead, they will live to please Christ, who died and was raised for them.
So we have stopped evaluating others by what the world thinks about them. Once I mistakenly thought of Christ that way, as though he were merely a human being. How differently I think about him now! What this means is that those who become Christians become new persons. They are not the same anymore, for the old life is gone. A new life has begun!
All this newness of life is from God, who brought us back to himself through what Christ did. And God has given us the task of reconciling people to him. For God was in Christ, reconciling the world to himself, no longer counting people's sins against them. This is the wonderful message he has given us to tell others. We are Christ's ambassadors, and God is using us to speak to you. We urge you, as though Christ himself were here pleading with you, "Be reconciled to God!" For God made Christ, who never sinned, to be the offering for our sin, so that we could be made right with God through Christ. 2 Cor.5:14-21 NLT.
Please all of you repeat after me, Dear Father, in the Name of Jesus, Father we are calling out to you, please forgive us of all of our sin’s, we know we are all sinners, and you sent your Son down to earth to suffer and die for our sins, and we also say with our mouth that you Father raised Jesus from the dead, and we all want to welcome Jesus Christ into our hearts, and to confess the fact that Jesus is Lord, We now believe that we are saved, and we all ask for the baptism of the Holy Spirit. We now believe that we are all born again Christians, and a part of the body of Christ, We praise your name Jesus, and thank you for the salvation you have given us by shedding your blood at Calvary. We praise you Father over the heavens and earth, thank you for this gift of a perfect union with your Son Jesus, who will remain Lord of our lives forever. Amen
