Good morning, our introduction is basic, The Church Ministries is not any normal biblical church, and we are all seeking God and growing day by day. We all meet here to Praise God, worship Him, and Give total Thanksgiving to the Lord, which Jesus and the Holy Spirit- are all one. I have to get to the point today, because I do not know if I will ever be able to keep going. I have had longs talks with God and Jesus and the Spirit, I hope right now He is leading me with these words. I am here on this planet to Glorify God, that is why He created us and that is why He wants to flow through us. He does not want us to be afraid of Him in everyway, but we all have to high respect with love towards Him, I do have some fear for God. It is a respectful fear and a loving fear. Many people fear differently but I do have some and truth is truth, if I met Him right now, I would be a bit shocked, just like many others but how much or how little I still Love God. And He is a Blessing of a Good God. Satan has confused most of this planet, or basically what I know most I will talk about, and the things that have happened in this country, I grew up here, and I have lived here, and when I was younger after collage: I wanted to learn more about people, so there isn’t any schools that teach you everything about people, like what is a person or does a human change from their surroundings, their environment what is the origin of their personalities or hardships of people throughout this country, I was out to seek what made a human tick? I had to go there and have, worked, lived, camped out, and learned many lessons from all walks of life in almost every major city in the U.S. I have seen what God made and how distinct and beautiful he made all things. “And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that it was good. [Gen.1:12] “ “And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat. [Gen 1:29] God made the earth to multiply all by itself, things would re-grow all on their own they would start out a babies, just like the seed of man. But there is one thing that is very important, God loved mankind, He felt He could trust them and do the things He asked of them, he would always talk to them in the coolness of the evening probably in an audible voice so: “And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.” [Gen. 1:26-28] Let us summarize what I feel what happened, Satan heard all this and he never expected that God would give dominion over to the beginning of mankind, he was an agel probably sent to help Adam and Eve, that probably was God’s choice and the thing is Satan was some kind of musical angel and I think at that point he rebelled agaist God and God took all His angel powers away and he became not a bear or a tiger but a crafty cunning snake, and picked on the Girl Eve, because she heard about the tree second hand, that was the only thing Satan could tempt Eve with, that God was holding something back, here God gave them everything there could have been 9,000 trees in the garden and it would have taken them years to find the one God didn’t even want them to touch, That snake could not temp them with a house or a car a store or clothes or money or anything, the snake was cunning and full of deception and in the last thousands of years he got even better at it he has studied the human race for centuries, so the only thing he could tempt Eve from was that God was holding something back and if she ate of the tree she would be more like God and they already had all they could ever ask for and they didn’t even think about death, they didn’t even understand that yet. So if Eve messed up and yielded to Satan, then Satan could have dominion over the whole earth, he would get what he wanted and the con job hurt all of us and we for their mistake made a separation against God and man, God still loved them and to tell you the truth, it seems Satan was using Adam and Eve as hostages, God didn’t want to kill them and start all over, he had to with the flood, and then He had to initiate the law, that is another segment in the O.T., so people would get out of their wickedness, and God needed a virgin so the savior of the world could be born without sin, plus the genealogies had to be in order to lead up to Mary and Joseph. Remember God is spirit, his word is a covenant, God could not come down here and say now wait a minute let’s back this up God gave dominion to us to run this planet and Satan messed up so many lives and with these writings I hope some of you get the picture. God could not break His word or the universe would explode or implode anyway be destroyed, So God’s word is true and there is nothing he could have done once Adam and Eve got deceived into eating the fruit, so God had to speak to men with visions and even voices and He had men write prophecies about the coming of Jesus and God didn’t want to kill them, but Satan got control once they yielded to him, and disobeyed God, and he became the one who had dominion over the world, the thing is it is happening right now if you are not on the A team with the Love and gratefulness towards what Jesus had done for us, you are on the B team still uncertain still not knowing, so we are supposed to preach the Gospel to let mankind decide for himself or herself. God does not want anyone to perish John 3:15, and 2Pet.3:9, now these are set in gold these are the words of God that is why Jesus is called the {word} because God spoke the seed into existence. Things have changed in the last 3-4 decades. God has not changed, His word made this planet, by his words He made us- and loved us with so much love that we would not even begin to understand, the love He has for each one of us. “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.” [2Pet.3:9] God does not want anyone to perish, or suffer. “And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. [1Thes.5:23] God made us a three part being, and we receive a new spirit, when we learn about and except His Son as the King of Kings or our personal Lord and savior, which God is Spirit and this way we can communicate freely to Him. The background is plain and many people have heard these scriptures and many have known about them since most of you were children. “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. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.” [John 3:16-21] “That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.” You see God does not want anyone to perish. God has been building us a place of beyond beauty, beyond reality, beyond anything we can imagine, I here it is better then the Garden of Eden. So we keep our spirits, which is us- more or less, all through eternity. We will get super bodies and super minds, our soul remains in tack from the learning from our spirits. My suggestion is- “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] The last few verses are speaking about Jesus our Lord, {reconciliation} is a way of saying it is a change from hatred of one another- to friends. In the beginning God made the world the heavens and the earth, and all the stars and basically the whole universe- which science now is actually realizing that the world and the planets and the way things operate, are so exact that they had to be created, and the world and everything that surrounds it, had to be created by a superior intellect that is why I love God, our God. He knows everything, He knows the future the past and present, and he knows people through the spirits (hearts) that we were given, when we chose to accept Jesus as our Lord and savior, we were given so many things, many great bible figures through prophecy of what they read and learned, they wanted to live in our time of life, basically after Jesus came the first time to earth and the seed of God was planted into a girl or woman named Mary, a sinless virgin birth with God as the seed to grow up. People wanted what we have now, through the Messiah we were given Salvation, we were given Righteousness, Sanctification, Justification, Holiness, we were given so many things I will list them as I speak. “And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, filled with wisdom: and the grace of God was upon him.” [Luke 2:40] “And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man.” [Luke 2:52] People today have been tricked, and deceived by the devil, in order to have a big fancy car and a big house is life for what 60 -80 even 90 or more years. Then what, where do you think you are going? Do you think you will just cease to exist? “In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them. [2Cor4:4] “But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:” [2Cor. 4:3] “For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher? And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things! But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Esaias saith, Lord, who hath believed our report? So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.” [Rom. 10:13-17] We have dominion over the earth but the church forgot or Satan has blinded their minds like scripture tells us. “Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints; And for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel, [Eph. 6: 10-19] For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; [2Cor. 10:3-5] We are still at a war, we are trying to save the lost and to preach the word so people can understand and with signs and wonders. “It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.” It is all up to us, we have been given the power and the motive Jesus asked us to: Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God. Jesus was done He set all things in motion it is are turn as Christians to do what Jesus had asked or even ordered us. All Christians. “Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world.” Amen. [Matt 28:19-20] “Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners.” [1Cor. 15:33] T.V the news today can destroy any goodness and life of peace, how can you have peace when you see murder and all kinds of sinful acts and sexually oriented tapes or movies? even the commercials today are sinful, the magazines the newspapers everything is drifting towards sin, that is why we have to live in the world but not be a part of the world, our world our life is above in heaven and we are to save as many lives as we possibly can. “Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord, According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue: Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust. And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge; And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness; And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity. For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.” [2Pet.1:2-8] “And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father. Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ.” [Gal.4:6-7] “I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith. [Rom.12:1-3] So we should stop asking for more faith because when you were born again you all receive the same measure of faith. And being transformed is like being a caterpillar and turning into a beautiful butterfly. This is what happens we have been given all these gifts and when we preach the gospel we have to have certain signs and wonders, to prove that God is flowing through us, but the church today is changed, they have separated and none even realize that it is their responsibility to help others, They are still preaching the Old Testament about the Law, and some are doing the same thing the Pharisees and Sadducees are or were doing to think they were pleasing God. It has nothing to do with our performance, our sins are forgiven, Gods wrath is over He does not do bad to people God is a Good God, and when God heals me and if by chance I can open that Mission, many will be helped and many will be saved. Just by sitting in a circle with comfortable chairs in small groups, we can teach each other with scripture, people think God will not give power to me because I feel unworthy, God is not standing there with his arms folded and waiting for prayers, He wants us to do what Jesus asked us to do. Jesus never had anyone pray before he preached; Paul didn’t have any intercessors praying for him to plead the blood over the windows and doors, that don’t work. If Satan can enter at the last supper with Jesus sitting there and he went into Judas a few feet away, your not going to keep the demonic spirits out of a congregation or a meeting or talk with a major person or even a bible study. We have to understand that there are laws to the Christian, we have to take responsibility, not blame God for everything, God does not kill a baby to make a family stronger- or hurt a child to change the attitude of the parents, Satan is the one that seeks kills and destroys, “The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.” [John 10:10] God is Good and Satan is bad what ever bad happens it is Satan, what ever Good happens it is God, God wants everyone to prosper, “Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth. [3John 1:2] this is a law and cannot be broken, the word of God is truth and what ever God says it is it, God cannot lie, he is a good God, it is up to us to perform healing, “Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed. [1Pet. 2:24] this is written in the past tense, we are already healed, all true Christians have the power to let God flow through you, if your already healed, how can you not be healed when someone lays their hands on you, all of us can do wonders and signs of supernatural degrees. 12Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father. This is also a law it is written, I would be more then satisfied just being able to do the works that Jesus did, I could just imagine greater works, Faith is the key, we have to get rid of all unbelief, unbelief is not trusting God how can you not trust God when your life is already going to get better, either way when the doctor tells you your going to die well “praise the Lord”, each way you win, you either get healed or you die and be with Jesus and never have any stress or worry or fear, these are the things Satan whispers into your ear, “Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded. The thing is when you resist you have to attack back, you have to fight off your spiritual demonic influences. “And a certain woman, which had an issue of blood twelve years, And had suffered many things of many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was nothing bettered, but rather grew worse, When she had heard of Jesus, came in the press behind, and touched his garment. For she said, If I may touch but his clothes, I shall be whole. And straightway the fountain of her blood was dried up; and she felt in her body that she was healed of that plague. And Jesus, immediately knowing in himself that virtue had gone out of him, turned him about in the press, and said, Who touched my clothes? And his disciples said unto him, Thou seest the multitude thronging thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me? And he looked round about to see her that had done this thing. But the woman fearing and trembling, knowing what was done in her, came and fell down before him, and told him all the truth. And he said unto her, Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace, and be whole of thy plague. [Mark 5:25-34] Most of you know this story the thing is it proves the fact that God does not look at you and says healed for you and checks it and reads another name and says no this is the weight that Jesus had to carry, he not only carried peoples sins but all their diseases, deliverance, and to prosper, that is when Jesus said it was finished I was. Here was a woman and back then if you hade to do with blood you were considered unclean, and here is a woman crawling on the ground and there were multitudes of people that she had to crawl through, and if anyone discovered this they could have stoned her to death for just being there and not shouting unclean. She spent the last bit of money on doctors, she heard about Jesus and she said to herself if I could only touch a piece of his clothes, I will be healed, normally Jesus knows everything before hand but at this time the way He reacted He was surprised; he might have been in the flesh of his consciousness trying to understand the multitude of all the people He still was divine, but when He asked who touched me? Then the woman fell down before Him in mercy and told Him the truth of her problem, Jesus was God and he wanted to help everyone, he never tried to hurt anyone or to make them have a disease, that is what blows my mind how could anyone think Father God could ever hurt anyone, not even for a teaching, no way, God is subjected to his own laws and the words of his own mouth, God is a blessing He has already blessed all of us already, anyway by the woman’s faith and action, she was healed and Jesus didn’t even know her. So the healing power works for anyone with faith, and He didn’t even go to the cross yet. He was just walking but everyone that was around him needed something and they all wanted something but he felt virtue come out of himself, and he turned around not with a check list or who is good and bad it was on the spot instant healing, and Jesus felt for the woman and He probably new the risk she was taking, [And he said unto her, Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace, and be whole of thy plague.] we as humans have to preach the gospel it is us, angels can’t because the time with Cornelius he was a centurion, “A devout man, and one that feared God with all his house, which gave much alms to the people, and prayed to God alway.
He saw in a vision evidently about the ninth hour of the day an angel of God coming in to him, and saying unto him, Cornelius. And when he looked on him, he was afraid, and said, What is it, Lord? And he said unto him, Thy prayers and thine alms are come up for a memorial before God. And now send men to Joppa, and call for one Simon, whose surname is Peter: He lodgeth with one Simon a tanner, whose house is by the sea side: he shall tell thee what thou oughtest to do. [Acts 10:2-6] Now if an angel could preach the gospel he would of right there but he sent for Peter who was a long way away. 2 days there and 2 days back. So Cornelius sent for peter got some of His men and sent them where thee angel told him he would be “And when he had declared all these things unto them, he sent them to Joppa. On the morrow, as they went on their journey, and drew nigh unto the city, Peter went And he became very hungry, and would have eaten: but while they made ready, he fell into a trance, And saw heaven opened, and a certain vessel descending upon him, as it had been a great sheet knit at the four corners, and let down to the earth: Wherein were all manner of four footed beasts of the earth, and wild beasts, and creeping things, and fowls of the air. And there came a voice to him, Rise, Peter; kill, and eat. But Peter said, Not so, Lord; for I have never eaten any thing that is common or unclean. And the voice spake unto him again the second time, What God hath cleansed, that call not thou common. This was done thrice: and the vessel was received up again into heaven. Now while Peter doubted in himself what this vision which he had seen should mean, behold, the men which were sent from Cornelius had made enquiry for Simon's house, and stood before the gate, And called, and asked whether Simon, which was surnamed Peter, were lodged there. While Peter thought on the vision, the Spirit said unto him, Behold, three men seek thee. Arise therefore, and get thee down, and go with them, doubting nothing: for I have sent them. Then Peter went down to the men which were sent unto him from Cornelius; and said, Behold, I am he whom ye seek: what is the cause wherefore ye are come? And they said, Cornelius the centurion, a just man, and one that feareth God, and of good report among all the nation of the Jews, was warned from God by an holy angel to send for thee into his house, and to hear words of thee. Then called he them in, and lodged them. And on the morrow Peter went away with them, and certain brethren from Joppa accompanied him. And the morrow after they entered into Caesarea. And Cornelius waited for them, and he had called together his kinsmen and near friends. And as Peter was coming in, Cornelius met him, and fell down at his feet, and worshipped him. But Peter took him up, saying, Stand up; I myself also am a man. And as he talked with him, he went in, and found many that were come together. And he said unto them, Ye know how that it is an unlawful thing for a man that is a Jew to keep company, or come unto one of another nation; but God hath shewed me that I should not call any man common or unclean. Therefore came I unto you without gainsaying, as soon as I was sent for: I ask therefore for what intent ye have sent for me? And Cornelius said, Four days ago I was fasting until this hour; and at the ninth hour I prayed in my house, and, behold, a man stood before me in bright clothing, And said, Cornelius, thy prayer is heard, and thine alms are had in remembrance in the sight of God. Send therefore to Joppa, and call hither Simon, whose surname is Peter; he is lodged in the house of one Simon a tanner by the sea side: who, when he cometh, shall speak unto thee. Immediately therefore I sent to thee; and thou hast well done that thou art come. Now therefore are we all here present before God, to hear all things that are commanded thee of God. Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons: But in every nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is accepted with him. The word which God sent unto the children of Israel, preaching peace by Jesus Christ: (he is Lord of all:) That word, I say, ye know, which was published throughout all Judaea, and began from Galilee, after the baptism which John preached; How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him. And we are witnesses of all things which he did both in the land of the Jews, and in Jerusalem; whom they slew and hanged on a tree: Him God raised up the third day, and shewed him openly; Not to all the people, but unto witnesses chosen before God, even to us, who did eat and drink with him after he rose from the dead. And he commanded us to preach unto the people, and to testify that it is he which was ordained of God to be the Judge of quick and dead. To him give all the prophets witness, that through his name whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins. While Peter yet spake these words, the Holy Ghost fell on all them which heard the word. And they of the circumcision which believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because that on the Gentiles also was poured out the gift of the Holy Ghost. For they heard them speak with tongues, and magnify God. Then answered Peter, Can any man forbid water, that these should not be baptized, which have received the Holy Ghost as well as we? And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord. Then prayed they him to tarry certain days. [Acts 10:9-48] We are to preach the word see what happened as soon as he was telling Cornelius and his family about Jesus going around doing good, and the Holy Spirit fell on them all they were all just in smiles, when you get hit by the Holy Spirit the power of God is so strong sometimes you can’t stand up. So God taught Peter that He had to except everyone that nothing is unclean meaning, uncircumcised men or Gentiles, and Peter got flack but He told he bothers what happened and how it came down and that the Holy Spirit came upon them and Peter had no control. And his brethren believed and agreed who can argue with the power of God, so they were all baptized after that, So the word was moving father and farther. “Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth labourers into his harvest.” [Matt.9:38] “Therefore said he unto them, The harvest truly is great, but the labourers are few: pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he would send forth labourers into his harvest [Luke 11:2] “Thus saith the LORD, the Holy One of Israel, and his Maker, Ask me of things to come concerning my sons, and concerning the work of my hands command ye me.” [Isa. 45:11] God is with us in all we do for the glory of the gospel. “The heaven, even the heavens, are the LORD's: but the earth hath he given to the children of men. [Psalms 115:16] God wants us to preach the word with the powers gifts and signs and wonders, when we start doing some supernatural healing it will make much more people listen, and open the doors to their salvation. “Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. [Acts 2:38] “Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee.” [Isa.26:3] If you stay with God and think of Him always you will have perfect peace, you can’t watch murders and bad language and all kinds of violence and expect to have peace, the word always helps you and it will help you to pray in the spirit, try it pray in tongues, and at the same time read a scripture, you will realize that with your mind you remember what you just read because you are using your mind, but your spirit is still praying away at the same time, that proves you have a spirit, soul and body. “And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God. For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith. Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.” [Mark 11:22-24] These scriptures are used quiet often, even when you have been healed and you have a pain coming back- instead of the person who just prayed for you, what you do is talk to the mountain, if you have an burning pain, you speak to the foot or the back like speaking to the mountain, and actually say take this burning away and it will leave, or if you have a throbbing pain you talk to the head and say head stop the throbbing and it will leave and continue to do this until you don’t need someone else to pray for you. Remember you are already healed, so it isn’t hard when you know you are already healed, it would be like asking for something that you already have and that is why God seems like He is not answering, God is scratching his head wondering what you are asking for when you already have it. Remember we are coming from victory; we have already won, so you can’t worry about being victorious, when you are already a winner. “And I will raise up for them a plant of renown, and they shall be no more consumed with hunger in the land, neither bear the shame of the heathen any more.” [Eze. 34:29] “And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” [John 8:32] We preach and people know and learn the truth, that is our job, it could be at a check-out line it could be a conversation talking to a company, and then you naturally start talking about the gospel or say something like Jesus did a wonderful thing for me today, God is right there when you need Him, that opens the door to questions and it becomes a blessing for both sides. I have found out that trying to heal a person is hard unless they know you or someone that they know meets up together. Many times I have tried to heal people by asking them, if they say something is wrong- but they always say it will be OK or it will be all right, but there will come a time when I am in a church building and people come and ask for prayer, and they will get healed, it isn’t hard when you know that Jesus through the atonement has already healed them by His suffering. “No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is of me, saith the LORD. [Isa. 54:17] To learn these truths and laws will only make you a better person and to have joy and live in peace. “That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit 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. But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his. And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.” [Rom.8:4-11] The carnal mind is just working on our 5 senses and we have a spirit that can see into the spiritual world and we picture spiritual things in our hearts- not just in our heads, walk by faith not by sight? Remember? “Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved. [Acts 4:12] “And when they heard that, they lifted up their voice to God with one accord, and said, Lord, thou art God, which hast made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and all that in them is: Who by the mouth of thy servant David hast said, Why did the heathen rage, and the people imagine vain things? The kings of the earth stood up, and the rulers were gathered together against the Lord, and against his Christ. For of a truth against thy holy child Jesus, whom thou hast anointed, both Herod, and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles, and the people of Israel, were gathered together, For to do whatsoever thy hand and thy counsel determined before to be done. And now, Lord, behold their threatenings: and grant unto thy servants, that with all boldness they may speak thy word, By stretching forth thine hand to heal; and that signs and wonders may be done by the name of thy holy child Jesus. And when they had prayed, the place was shaken where they were assembled together; and they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and they spake the word of God with boldness. And the multitude of them that believed were of one heart and of one soul: neither said any of them that ought of the things which he possessed was his own; but they had all things common. And with great power gave the apostles witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and great grace was upon them all. Neither was there any among them that lacked: for as many as were possessors of lands or houses sold them, and brought the prices of the things that were sold, And laid them down at the apostles' feet: and distribution was made unto every man according as he had need. [Acts 4:24-35] I would love to enter into a church building today and pray that same prayer who thought the same- felt the same- and had the same feelings for others- and did not want anyone to suffer or be in need. That alone would be heavy- then the Holy Spirit comes and anoints us all. Someday when the Lord heals me, we will have a mission that no one would be hungry and no one would sleep on the ground again, we should all think on these things.
“For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;” [1Tim.2:5]
And the LORD said unto Moses, Go, get thee down; for thy people, which thou broughtest out of the land of Egypt, have corrupted themselves: They have turned aside quickly out of the way which I commanded them: they have made them a molten calf, and have worshipped it, and have sacrificed thereunto, and said, These be thy gods, O Israel, which have brought thee up out of the land of Egypt. And the LORD said unto Moses, I have seen this people, and, behold, it is a stiffnecked people: Now therefore let me alone, that my wrath may wax hot against them, and that I may consume them: and I will make of thee a great nation. And Moses besought the LORD his God, and said, LORD, why doth thy wrath wax hot against thy people, which thou hast brought forth out of the land of Egypt with great power, and with a mighty hand? Wherefore should the Egyptians speak, and say, For mischief did he bring them out, to slay them in the mountains, and to consume them from the face of the earth? Turn from thy fierce wrath, and repent of this evil against thy people. Remember Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, thy servants, to whom thou swarest by thine own self, and saidst unto them, I will multiply your seed as the stars of heaven, and all this land that I have spoken of will I give unto your seed, and they shall inherit it for ever. And the LORD repented of the evil which he thought to do unto his people.” [Ex. 32:7-14]
“O foolish Galatians, who hath bewitched you, that ye should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ hath been evidently set forth, crucified among you? This only would I learn of you, Received ye the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith? Are ye so foolish? having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh? Have ye suffered so many things in vain? if it be yet in vain. He therefore that ministereth to you the Spirit, and worketh miracles among you, doeth he it by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?” [Gal 3:1-5]
“Even as Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness. Know ye therefore that they which are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham. And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the heathen through faith, preached before the gospel unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations be blessed. So then they which be of faith are blessed with faithful Abraham.” [Gal. 3:6-9]
“For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them. But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, it is evident: for, The just shall live by faith. And the law is not of faith: but, The man that doeth them shall live in them.” [Gal. 3:10-12]
“Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree: That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith. Brethren, I speak after the manner of men; Though it be but a man's covenant, yet if it be confirmed, no man disannulleth, or addeth thereto. Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ.” [Gal.13-16]
“And this I say, that the covenant, that was confirmed before of God in Christ, the law, which was four hundred and thirty years after, cannot disannul, that it should make the promise of none effect. For if the inheritance be of the law, it is no more of promise: but God gave it to Abraham by promise.” [Gal. 3:17-18]
“Wherefore then serveth the law? It was added because of transgressions, till the seed should come to whom the promise was made; and it was ordained by angels in the hand of a mediator. Now a mediator is not a mediator of one, but God is one. Is the law then against the promises of God? God forbid: for if there had been a law given which could have given life, verily righteousness should have been by the law. But the scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe. But before faith came, we were kept under the law, shut up unto the faith which should afterwards be revealed. Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith. But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster.” [Gal.3:19-25]
“For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.” [Gal.3:26-29]
“And the LORD appeared unto him in the plains of Mamre: and he sat in the tent door in the heat of the day; And he lift up his eyes and looked, and, lo, three men stood by him: and when he saw them, he ran to meet them from the tent door, and bowed himself toward the ground, And said, My LORD, if now I have found favour in thy sight, pass not away, I pray thee, from thy servant: Let a little water, I pray you, be fetched, and wash your feet, and rest yourselves under the tree: And I will fetch a morsel of bread, and comfort ye your hearts; after that ye shall pass on: for therefore are ye come to your servant. And they said, So do, as thou hast said. And Abraham hastened into the tent unto Sarah, and said, Make ready quickly three measures of fine meal, knead it, and make cakes upon the hearth. And Abraham ran unto the herd, and fetcht a calf tender and good, and gave it unto a young man; and he hasted to dress it. And he took butter, and milk, and the calf which he had dressed, and set it before them; and he stood by them under the tree, and they did eat. And they said unto him, Where is Sarah thy wife? And he said, Behold, in the tent. And he said, I will certainly return unto thee according to the time of life; and, lo, Sarah thy wife shall have a son. And Sarah heard it in the tent door, which was behind him. Now Abraham and Sarah were old and well stricken in age; and it ceased to be with Sarah after the manner of women. Therefore Sarah laughed within herself, saying, After I am waxed old shall I have pleasure, my lord being old also? And the LORD said unto Abraham, Wherefore did Sarah laugh, saying, Shall I of a surety bear a child, which am old? Is any thing too hard for the LORD? At the time appointed I will return unto thee, according to the time of life, and Sarah shall have a son. Then Sarah denied, saying, I laughed not; for she was afraid. And he said, Nay; but thou didst laugh. And the men rose up from thence, and looked toward Sodom: and Abraham went with them to bring them on the way. And the LORD said, Shall I hide from Abraham that thing which I do; Seeing that Abraham shall surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed in him? For I know him, that he will command his children and his household after him, and they shall keep the way of the LORD, to do justice and judgment; that the LORD may bring upon Abraham that which he hath spoken of him. And the LORD said, Because the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and because their sin is very grievous; I will go down now, and see whether they have done altogether according to the cry of it, which is come unto me; and if not, I will know. And the men turned their faces from thence, and went toward Sodom: but Abraham stood yet before the LORD. And Abraham drew near, and said, Wilt thou also destroy the righteous with the wicked? Peradventure there be fifty righteous within the city: wilt thou also destroy and not spare the place for the fifty righteous that are therein? That be far from thee to do after this manner, to slay the righteous with the wicked: and that the righteous should be as the wicked, that be far from thee: Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right? And the LORD said, If I find in Sodom fifty righteous within the city, then I will spare all the place for their sakes. And Abraham answered and said, Behold now, I have taken upon me to speak unto the LORD, which am but dust and ashes: Peradventure there shall lack five of the fifty righteous: wilt thou destroy all the city for lack of five? And he said, If I find there forty and five, I will not destroy it. And he spake unto him yet again, and said, Peradventure there shall be forty found there. And he said, I will not do it for forty's sake. And he said unto him, Oh let not the LORD be angry, and I will speak: Peradventure there shall thirty be found there. And he said, I will not do it, if I find thirty there. And he said, Behold now, I have taken upon me to speak unto the LORD: Peradventure there shall be twenty found there. And he said, I will not destroy it for twenty's sake. And he said, Oh let not the LORD be angry, and I will speak yet but this once: Peradventure ten shall be found there. And he said, I will not destroy it for ten's sake. And the LORD went his way, as soon as he had left communing with Abraham: and Abraham returned unto his place.” [Gen.18-1-33]
“For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;” [1Tim.2:5]
I do want to thank you all for the prayers for my buddy Jeff’s Grandmother, she is doing great she recovered so fast from some sickness. Jeff was happy that the turn out was good and he was pleased. Thanks for your prayers. I open my heart to you all. I want to thank a guy named Dan in a pick-up (small) that gave me a ride at the base of the hill of the tallest hill in Hilo, on that day I was blessed, and the way things came down, God was right there for me, the next day I still was exhausted. One time I almost dropped going up that same hill then a long upwards incline, I stopped hitch-hiking I needed my balance and then another pick-up stopped last month and they both might have saved me from a hard situation. It is hard walking around this town of Hilo, it is beautiful but after you walk a bit it is more of a hike then looking at the water. Thanks for the prayers for my mom’s kidneys, she is doing much better, and the percentage is higher now in working order. I talked with a girl on the communications, I had to ask a few questions and we talked all about God and then she asked for prayer for her family mostly for her bother and dad, her name was Abigail she enjoyed just talking about the gospel, so it was a good conversation and I am asking for prayer, plus all the people that wrote in, bless you all, please add a prayer for Shawn and Kristy they also have saved my life with rides when I really needed them, they don’t know how important it was to me and my health, but I do thank them and my bother Keith, who helped me spiritually. Plus my Bishop Secretary Keith and his wife died in his arms about a year ago, and my other Bishop Directors, Jacob and Daisy, Joaquim and his wife, and Paul and Mercy. So please bless everyone and a prayer for all would be a good thing, please remember Don, Wes and his wife Chick who lost part of their family.
