Good Morning: Welcome to The Church Ministries the only Bible Truth Christian Church, to the IRS we are still a 501(c) (3) tax deductible- Public Charity- with a lot of numbers and letters behind it, it really does not matter anyway we haven’t got any donations in a long time, the whole website is free anyway and it is my tithes and offerings to the church body to keep this on line and my want to spend my own time 2 weeks ago was a record, because of the many “thorns in my flesh” and what I have to do just to write a letter or a sermon. My aim is still the same to preach the gospel free of charge with the help of the Holy Spirit; otherwise it would not be sound doctrine. I truly believe that sometimes when I talk about myself it is coming from the flesh but the hours I study and the days and translations and markings I do with each bible helps me to learn, and then pass it on to you all. Well I am writing to all the pastors and deacons and all the churches of the world, plus Christians and my staff of bishops and saints, plus people that still may be lost, throughout the entire planet. I do this all out of love for you all, not for any special grades or gains or performance to God because that does not mean anything to the God of the universe- He will love me the same, if I just laid on the couch and did nothing, I have realized that when I am in the word that all the fears I have are gone, but when I put it down they start right up over again maybe because of the pain, you can only take so much and today I want to be sharp so I limit myself to certain things. I don’t worry about death any more because it would be better for me that I would be with Christ and in heaven with all the other Christians, But it is better for you all that I stay and keep preaching the word and do my tithes in my own way. Still churches are preaching [Mal. 3:8-10] to get money and they scare people into giving them money that is old testament, and if I was in a church and someone started that up, I would get up and leave and pray for the church and all of its people, plus all their leaders. I tend to think about whole congregations missing out on the Kingdom, for what they believe and have been taught, it is not a judgment it is a pity deep in my heart that I can’t control. And some day people will read or listen to my words weather I am here or the life beyond. That is another thing- is that God is going to love us anyway if we tithe or not, but it is how we feel in our hearts weather we want to tithe, if we are truly Christians we would want to tithe not be forced through fear, but as an offering to God or works of mercy.

We all know God loves a cheerful giver. “But this I say, He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully.” “Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.” “And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work: (As it is written, He hath dispersed abroad; he hath given to the poor: his righteousness remaineth for ever.” “Now he that ministereth seed to the sower both minister bread for your food, and multiply your seed sown, and increase the fruits of your righteousness;)” “Being enriched in every thing to all bountifulness, which causeth through us thanksgiving to God.” “For the administration of this service not only supplieth the want of the saints, but is abundant also by many thanksgivings unto God;” [2Cor.9:6-12 all will be KJV] I will explain all these verses because even though the King James is so authentic it is hard to understand, so let me help you all, Picture a farmer if he plants just a few seeds he will get a few plants and if he plants many seeds he will have an abundance. Everyone is different and they have to make up their own mind on their own, no one should be forced into anything, just understand that you are the prize of God if you give cheerfully. God understands each heart and He will supply enough back to each person so he has more then enough to help others, this is the way it truly works. Remember also, your good deeds will be an honor to God though eternity. To make it all simple if you were a farmer and you gave and God would give you a harvest not just for your family, but you would have enough to give to your neighbors and the needy. That should make you all feel warm inside. And when you are able to give food or what ever you grow or whatever you do and just think how the people react when they receive a gift so needed, people will Praise God and He will feel the thanksgiving. So two things happen when you’re a cheerful giver, the people in need are blessed, and God gets thanks and glory and praise from many people. It is good that there are so many translations out there so I can explain it in simple terms. I could just imagine the Apostle Paul trying to survive in his day and he was given much help at times, the Corinthians he would not take anything, but there were many other churches who helped him out and took up a collection for the Jerusalem Church who needed it badly, and he sent many workers and brothers and sisters in Christ to deliver help and his letters, It seams there were 4 letters to the Corinthians the first was lost and the third seems like it wasn’t preserved but there is something about 2 Cor.10-12 a change in his writing, it seems now are reading the second letter as 1st Corinthians and the 4th letter is 2nd Corinthians, it is too bad- if we all pray maybe someday God will give us a revelation to what truly happened to the letters. May God bless you all, I will pray that God and the Lord Jesus Christ will give you all the blessings you need, and His peace in your hearts and all through your lives, Praise God- we must give God the glory for all things- He made us all, and all different.

“With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love;” “Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.” “There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling;” “One Lord, one faith, one baptism,” One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.” But unto every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ.” “Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men.” [Eph.4:2-8] Your love for others can make a difference, carry humility, gentleness, and patience, we all have troubles, and face many different lifestyles, rely on the Holy Spirit and the new spirit you were given as a new man in Christ, be led together at peace with one another, we all have the same Spirit of God within us, with a part of Christ in our own spirits, we are all parts of the same body, and the same home for our future, we still only have one Lord, one faith, and one baptism, (not to mention the baptism of the Holy Spirit) We all have the same Father and God living in us- who loves us, and is over us, and living through us if we let Him, I hope you all understand that when Christ was resurrected and beat Satan, and went up to be with the Father, He gave us so many gifts so the Christian race would not just be another religion, but a supernatural organism with power and righteousness, with holiness, that stand firm in truth. We are all believers in Jesus, (if not make up your minds, before He returns to us), we have the same powers as many of the great men of the bible, a Christian is a Christian we are no different, all we have to do is believe, in the one true God, His Son that is unique, and be led by the Holy Spirit. We are His Children made in His image, all because we don’t read and study His word, and His wondrous teachings, we are missing out or don’t understand what we have in Christ. Some of us do and some of us don’t. God will be wiping the tears from our eyes when we do meet Him and learn that we had the divine power all the time to change many things on earth, and we didn’t believe or know or understand, that is why we will be shedding tears, and God will be ministering to each of us because, we had the chance to do so much good, and we never took advantage of the gifts God gave us. I want you all too at least understand a few things, when we become born again or into the house of God, they become a brand new creature inside, that person is not the same anymore, inside of him or her a new life has begun. Do not rely on your carnal thoughts of taste, sight, hearing, smelling, and feelings, “For they that are after the flesh do not mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit and the things of the Spirit.” “For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.” “Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.” “So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.” [Rom. 8:5-8] As I explained last week, you can’t let your self be controlled by your old nature you all have new spirits, and must follow the Holy Spirit, if you think back to your old nature or the carnal mind you will be doing things for your selves not for God. You don’t want to die; you want to have life and peace right? You follow after the Spirit and your new spirit that is in you, will not be changed or matured it will be the same spirit when you get to heaven, but it takes time for your new spirits to reach your mind and body, that is why we can’t do things of the old flesh. That is why if you do not follow the Spirit you will be doing things of the old man, the carnal 5 senses, and the old flesh, that is why you can’t please God. You have to understand that the old sinful nature is against God, that old nature could never even understand God’s laws or even think about doing them. “For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.” “For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.” “For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.” “The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:” [Rom.8:13-16] I don’t like to repeat myself even from last week, but it is important and that is why the spirit is leading me to type this sentence again but I do not want to see you die, none of you, but scripture is truth and we must follow it. My dear bothers and sisters you have no commitment to what your old flesh wants or even tricks you to do, if you do, you will end up lost and will die, you must ask the Holy Spirit to stamp out and squash it- and all evil deeds even thoughts, The Holy Spirit works with your new spirit and is sealed, nothing can get in or out- your spirit is perfect and will stay perfect forever, but you don’t feel it yet- but you know it is there and you are welcomed into the household of God and even called the children of God, you even shout out Daddy or Dad, for the Holy Spirit talks to our hearts and ministers to us telling us we are not slaves or captive to sin, we have been sanctified set holy and believe it, and start to walk by faith not by sight, open the valve to your mind, think spiritual, you are a new creature dead to sin. “I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.” [Gal. 2:20]

We also have another gift, “Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.” “And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation;” To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.” “Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God.” “For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.” [2Cor.5:17-21] Yes we are the righteousness of God, any Christian, like I had said before, I have checked it out, I took every word that has righteous, or righteousness, and any word like it, or in it and all the spelling and all the words that had it in them, and looked up all the words through the whole bible, yes we are the righteousness of God, Good News huh? For even God Himself was in Christ, bringing back the world to Himself, He was no longer counting or adding men’s sins anymore, he was crossing them out, so they were gone, this is the Gospel that we are preaching to you, we are being used by God to talk to you, we are speaking the truth as if Christ was right here with us trying to make you all understand actually beseeching with you, to be reconciled to God = (reconciled = changed or exchanged) You have to understand what happened in plain English, For God had his Son come down here totally sinless, then all of the worlds sins were transferred into Him, all sins, past, present, and future, from the whole world, Then in exchange, he transferred God’s goodness into us. Instead of giving you the scriptures from [2Cor.6:1-11] (A suffering ministry) I will just explain plainly using my own words from the reading of 5 different bible translations- and you can look up the KJV and see how that sounds. Let me explain most of Chapter 6- we are all one, or at one with each other in Christ, don’t ever take this gospel and forget about it, this is the blessing of God, For God was expecting our cries and He had the doors open- on that day of salvation was truly formed- and the saving grace was open to all, God helped on that day of salvation, now is the day of salvation, we put no obstacle in anyone’s way, so no fault can be even found with our ministry, but as servants of God we have to at this time commend ourselves- in every way as true servants of God. Through great endurance, in afflictions, hardships, calamities, beatings, imprisonments, tumults,= (riot - uprising) labors, watching, hunger, with purity, knowledge, spiritual insight, longsuffering, and patience, kindness, the Holy Spirit, genuine love, truthful speech, and the power of God, with weapons of righteousness, for the right hand (attack) for the left to (defend), in honor or dishonor, in ill standing and good standing, weather they criticize us or commend us, we are the honest, but the world will call us liars, plus the world ignores us, but God knows who we are, we have lived close to death, but here we are still alive, we have been injured and punished, but we still live, we are sorrowful but at the same time we rejoice in joy and strength, as we are poor, making many rich, and having nothing but possessing all things, Oh Corinthians our mouths are open for you and our heart is expanded, our love is with you. As you can all see this was the summery of the gospel and its logic? Christ Jesus the only entirely out of everyone was the true righteous one, and without sin, at the cross at Calvary He took the sins of the world upon Himself and endured the punishment that we all deserved, separation from God and of course death, [Isa. 52:14] “As many were astonied at thee; his visage (face) was so marred (beaten disfigured) more than any man, and his form more than the sons of men:” (He hung on that cross and did not even look human) During this process as Jesus took the bad we received all the good, and Gods wrath is no more, we are back and reconciled = ( Bringing two parties together that are in dispute, change, exchange, to put an end to hostility, in parallel justify) to God, what Jesus did on that day changed the whole course of the worlds existence. And so many gifts that day, were given to all reborn Christians, the power of Satan was destroyed, He even disrupted hell and holds the keys, So the promises before He arrived to all mankind stay active, so all who have faith in Christ Jesus or have the faith and or righteousness of God even in Old Testament times the promises share with the same saving grace and mercy of God, How can anyone thank Jesus enough for what He did for people who were already sinners bound for death into the Lake of fire. I would like to do more and touch on more subjects but I am not able to do much more.

I wanted to write about the law that God had to put upon men and the reason and it took 3 hours just to put this much on the page, maybe because I have 319 pages and like more then 5700 files of the church and about 269 letters or sermons plus all the prayers, people and congregations can copy and share with others, don’t worry about the copyright, except don’t steal my name, and someone already did they can’t do that, I will let God deal with them, anyway our hope is still a building for the mission and also we can get to some people that haven’t even heard about Christ Jesus, that is what I am praying for, and my prayer list for all my loved ones is the same and I need to update it, and add some more people, and I have updated the Presidential Prayer Team prayer list, but I need to add this weeks, if there are any new changes in people and jobs, once I can open my email and not see three of everything, maybe tomorrow it will work, then I can write to my famous three Bishop Directors who are so far away, the others I can just call. At least they know on Sunday, this is also our weekly meeting - that I am still fighting and still able to write, even with the hardships. God bless you all, and my prayers and my heart are with you all, maybe next week we can have the Lords supper together. I love you all, Rev. Paul
