Good Morning to Hawaii and throughout the world, I am so glad to be here another week, and I am glad that I am still able and available to preach the word of life, or the bread of life. Even though we are all going through tests and trials this week, God is in control. All our faith relies on the Lord, and even if things look grim, the Lord will come through at the proper time to help us all. He always does, and we have to put our faith and trust in Him always, some times it is a test, and sometimes it is an out right attack. But our lives are focused on heaven, not here; we should always be planning to be taken up out of this world and to be in the hands of our Lord.
Dear Heavenly Father , we welcome to you today with the element of the Love from us all, with full praise for Your glory, we at this church hope that we do not come upon you as a lukewarm church, we want to be a building block of purity and faith, to worship you. You Father are spirit, and we need to worship you in spirit and in truth, otherwise we would be like all the rest, we don’t want to stand out as an element of pride, we are humble in heart, and we are all sinners, and we sin everyday, with our fleshly nature. We wish to bring You joy as we worship you, we want to give all the thankfulness that we can give as we all choose to follow your statues, and the guidance of the Holy Spirit. We love your Son and we wish to worship the God who became a man, to understand us, and to live amongst us, and to feel the pain, and the lives we lead as men. And we wish to worship, and thank our Jesus for all the torment, torture, pain, and death, He had to go through, to save us all from our sins, and to open the Vail of sincerity so we are able to come to You and pray, and ask for forgiveness for all the things we do wrong daily. And through His sufferings we become healed of all things through faith, we cannot express all of the love we have as humans, but through the Spirit we can share the inner thankfulness of our hearts. How could we ever thank you enough for the Love you have given us through your Son Jesus Christ? We are all sorry and ask for forgiveness for making many mistakes, and the slipping of the tongue, or any anger that we carry within. All we want to do is love You, and all our brothers and sisters. We want to help and come to aid of all walks of life, please help us to continue on Your pathway, journey and calling. In Jesus Name, Amen
Medical Update: As the tears roll down my face today as I have seen another doctor on Friday, I saw him for about 15 minutes and he tells me to move to the mainland to get proper medical care, I wanted to continue my sermon today about the true church, but as my life has been changing this sermon for this week will change, basically it will be on love and prayer, because the suffering and pain not only that I have been going through, it is the pain of a dear loved one going through harder pain than I. If you could here the whole story combined with my story it would be a complete devastation to anyone that would read it. As you all now as the weeks pass, my strength is not getting any better. I have lost more weight this week, and I am getting to the point that it is hard to walk the distances that I usually walk. All I can do is have full faith and trust in our Lord.
Trust in the LORD with all your heart And do not lean on your own understanding.
In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He will make your paths straight.
Do not be wise in your own eyes; Fear the LORD and turn away from evil.
It will be healing to your body And refreshment to your bones. Proverbs 3:5-8 NASB
I started walking with a weight, only a one pound walking weight, stretching out my body and to give my body a little more strength to go on. I find it now to be to exhausting, I have been running a constant temperature for 8 months, and Friday it was 99.8 and when you have a temperature for that long, your body starts eating up more calories and of course you loose more weight. I saw the ENT on Wednesday who I saw last month and I received injections into my right jaw, but didn’t really do anything, as he told me it works for some people and it doesn’t on others, and he is trying to get clearance for an MRI of my mouth or head to see what is really going on there. I called my insurance company and they directed me to a doctor that was supposed to be a Christian, for Friday’s appointment, but he isn’t. I anticipated with a letter and a release form that I sent to my prior doctor, which they would send over all my prior records, but they didn’t, and I am still waiting for an appointment to see the infectious disease doctor back in Honolulu, but I don’t think that is going to happen. I still have massive pain in my mouth, and I can not eat or chew, I have lost more weight and I am down to 130.6 with my cloths on.
The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God's children. Now if we are children, then we are heirs--heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory. Rom.8:16-17 NIV
Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God. For just as the sufferings of Christ flow over into our lives, so also through Christ our comfort overflows. If we are distressed, it is for your comfort and salvation; if we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which produces in you patient endurance of the same sufferings we suffer. And our hope for you is firm, because we know that just as you share in our sufferings, so also you share in our comfort. 1Cor 1:3-7 NIV
Yes, everything else is worthless when compared with the priceless gain of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. I have discarded everything else, counting it all as garbage, so that I may have Christ and become one with him. I no longer count on my own goodness or my ability to obey God's law, but I trust Christ to save me. For God's way of making us right with himself depends on faith. As a result, I can really know Christ and experience the mighty power that raised him from the dead. I can learn what it means to suffer with him, sharing in his death, so that, somehow, I can experience the resurrection from the dead! Phil 3:8-11NLT
I don't mean to say that I have already achieved these things or that I have already reached perfection! But I keep working toward that day when I will finally be all that Christ Jesus saved me for and wants me to be. No, dear brothers and sisters, I am still not all I should be, but I am focusing all my energies on this one thing: Forgetting the past and looking forward to what lies ahead, I strain to reach the end of the race and receive the prize for which God, through Christ Jesus, is calling us up to heaven. Phil. 3:12-14 NLT
On November 13th when I went into the hospital I weighed about 157, and I have been working out for 23 years off and on. Mostly I have been in constant workouts for the past 3 years everyday, working on a different body parts. Not just and hour, but more than 2 hours everyday, so this element of pride for myself, might have something to do with the ending of self, and part of the test and faith and trust in our Lord, as I do look in the mirror is does effect me to a point, there were times that I would cry, but now as I look at Jesus he was no muscle bound man he was built fairly skinny like the way I am now. I am glad and thankful to accept that I am alive and I can still walk and talk and still write prayers to the vast amount of people. This church is hooked up with so many prayer networks, I have lost count. And still yet the prayer responses go out everyday, all over the world. And the replies are over whelming, people are getting healed, marriages are coming back together, people are getting the finances that are needed, but not every response is with joy, there are very few that respond back with death in the family of the people you are praying for, in which I sit and cry over their loss, but most of these particular responses are of peace, when these situations occur, we all know that they are in the hands of Jesus in Heaven. You still feel a break in your heart but within the family of our people, we all know we are destined for heaven, that is where we truly will live the rest of our eternal life. In peace with God and Christ, with no more pain, sorrow or tears. So it is very important what we do now on this earth. We live with faith and belief in our Lord Jesus Christ, and on the promises of God!
These trials are only to test your faith, to show that it is strong and pure. It is being tested as fire tests and purifies gold--and your faith is far more precious to God than mere gold. So if your faith remains strong after being tried by fiery trials, it will bring you much praise and glory and honor on the day when Jesus Christ is revealed to the whole world.
You love him even though you have never seen him. Though you do not see him, you trust him; and even now you are happy with a glorious, inexpressible joy. Your reward for trusting him will be the salvation of your souls.
This salvation was something the prophets wanted to know more about. They prophesied about this gracious salvation prepared for you, even though they had many questions as to what it all could mean. They wondered what the Spirit of Christ within them was talking about when he told them in advance about Christ's suffering and his great glory afterward. They wondered when and to whom all this would happen.
They were told that these things would not happen during their lifetime, but many years later, during yours. And now this Good News has been announced by those who preached to you in the power of the Holy Spirit sent from heaven. It is all so wonderful that even the angels are eagerly watching these things happen. 1Pet. 1:7-12 NLT
The whole story is recorded it is about 30+ pages long, like a diary. It relies that this is a test of faith, the whole story relates to every doctors appointment every milligram and every conversation, has been noted with dates and times. I have to add a link to the whole story, I never wanted to make it public, but now I have to. In case something does happened to me, at least it is recorded and written with the truth from my heart, there has to be made a few judgment calls but to write the story we have to show our true feelings and we have to explain the facts as best that we see them. All I ever wanted was a caring doctor, and here I go and attempt to change doctors and He had to take home my whole story and read it over the weekend before he decides to accept me as a patient? Here I am referred by my insurance company to see him and he is not sure if he wants to take me. I don’t understand any of this, so here I walk out of this doctor’s office in tears, and in total confusion, what and where do I go now? Shall I sit in church and pray forever? On top of it all it was the birthday of someone so dear to me, and with the gathering of the films and setting up all the paperwork and the late appointment, I couldn’t do anything for the birthday affair, which was a heartbreak upon heartbreak. The tears are dropping right now as I write this. I waited over a month for the ENT appointment and he couldn’t do anything, and then I see this new doctor on Friday which is to take over my complete care. And he tells me to move away, and go back to the mainland. Even though the best doctors are at Queens in Honolulu in the world, I am supposed to move, and how and where. I am getting pounded by Satan, he does not want me to right to 20-30 people a day to help them, to bring them hope and comfort and to give them the Good news in a prayer, plus the Sunday sermons, I get letters from all over the world wanting me to go to there country and preach the word. You cannot believe what I had to give away and the money and planning it took to get here. Why would anyone want to leave Hawaii, God has sent me here to build a church mission and it will be completed, even if I have to die in the process.
Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, and into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade--kept in heaven for you, who through faith are shielded by God's power until the coming of the salvation that is ready to be revealed in the last time. In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials. 1Pet.1:3-6 NIV
Dear friends, do not be surprised at the painful trial you are suffering, as though something strange were happening to you. But rejoice that you participate in the sufferings of Christ, so that you may be overjoyed when his glory is revealed. If you are insulted because of the name of Christ, you are blessed, for the Spirit of glory and of God rests on you.1Pet. 4:12-14 NIV
However, if you suffer as a Christian, do not be ashamed, but praise God that you bear that name. For it is time for judgment to begin with the family of God; and if it begins with us, what will the outcome be for those who do not obey the gospel of God? And,
"If it is hard for the righteous to be saved,
what will become of the ungodly and the sinner?"
So then, those who suffer according to God's will should commit themselves to their faithful Creator and continue to do good. 1Pet. 4:16-19 NIV
To the elders among you, I appeal as a fellow elder, a witness of Christ's sufferings and one who also will share in the glory to be revealed: Be shepherds of God's flock that is under your care, serving as overseers--not because you must, but because you are willing, as God wants you to be; not greedy for money, but eager to serve; not lording it over those entrusted to you, but being examples to the flock. And when the Chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the crown of glory that will never fade away.
Young men, in the same way be submissive to those who are older. All of you, clothe yourselves with humility toward one another, because,
"God opposes the proud
but gives grace to the humble."Humble yourselves, therefore, under God's mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time. Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.
Be self-controlled and alert. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. Resist him, standing firm in the faith, because you know that your brothers throughout the world are undergoing the same kind of sufferings.
And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast. To him be the power for ever and ever. Amen. 1Pet.5:1-11
For no matter how many promises God has made, they are "Yes" in Christ. And so through him the "Amen" is spoken by us to the glory of God. Now it is God who makes both us and you stand firm in Christ. He anointed us, set his seal of ownership on us, and put his Spirit in our hearts as a deposit, guaranteeing what is to come.2Cor.1:20-22
Therefore, having these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all defilement of flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God. 2Cor.7:1 NASB
By faith Abraham, when God tested him, offered Isaac as a sacrifice. He who had received the promises was about to sacrifice his one and only son, even though God had said to him, "It is through Isaac that your offspring will be reckoned."Abraham reasoned that God could raise the dead, and figuratively speaking, he did receive Isaac back from death. Heb 11:17-19 NIV
"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because he has not believed in the name of God's one and only Son. John 3:16-18 NIV
In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Gen. 1:1 NIV
I saw one of the seven angels who had the bowls filled with the seven last terrible troubles. The angel came to me and said, "Come on! I will show you the one who will be the bride and wife of the Lamb." Then with the help of the Spirit, he took me to the top of a very high mountain. There he showed me the holy city of Jerusalem coming down from God in heaven.
The glory of God made the city bright. It was dazzling and crystal clear like a precious jasper stone. The city had a high and thick wall with twelve gates, and each one of them was guarded by an angel. On each of the gates was written the name of one of the twelve tribes of Israel. Three of these gates were on the east, three were on the north, three more were on the south, and the other three were on the west. The city was built on twelve foundation stones. On each of the stones was written the name of one of the Lamb's twelve apostles.
The angel who spoke to me had a gold measuring stick to measure the city and its gates and its walls. The city was shaped like a cube, because it was just as high as it was wide. When the angel measured the city, it was about fifteen hundred miles high and fifteen hundred miles wide. Then the angel measured the wall, and by our measurements it was about two hundred sixteen feet high.
The wall was built of jasper, and the city was made of pure gold, clear as crystal. Each of the twelve foundations was a precious stone. The first was jasper, the second was sapphire, the third was agate, the fourth was emerald, the fifth was onyx, the sixth was carnelian, the seventh was chrysolite, the eighth was beryl, the ninth was topaz, the tenth was chrysoprase, the eleventh was jacinth, and the twelfth was amethyst. Each of the twelve gates was a solid pearl. The streets of the city were made of pure gold, clear as crystal. I did not see a temple there. The Lord God All-Powerful and the Lamb were its temple. And the city did not need the sun or the moon. The glory of God was shining on it, and the Lamb was its light.
Nations will walk by the light of that city, and kings will bring their riches there. Its gates are always open during the day, and night never comes. The glorious treasures of nations will be brought into the city. But nothing unworthy will be allowed to enter. No one who is dirty-minded or who tells lies will be there. Only those whose names are written in the Lamb's book of life will be in the city. Rev. 21:9-24 CEV
One day Jesus told his disciples a story to illustrate their need for constant prayer and to show them that they must never give up. (Luke 18:1) No Christian is greater than his prayer life. And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the saints. (Eph.6:18) Devote yourselves to prayer with an alert mind and a thankful heart. (Col. 4:2) We always thank God for all of you and pray for you constantly. As we talk to our God and Father about you, we think of your faithful work, your loving deeds, and your continual anticipation of the return of our Lord Jesus Christ. We know that God loves you, dear brothers and sisters, and that he chose you to be his own people.(1Thes.1:2-4) Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus. Do not put out the Spirit's fire; do not treat prophecies with contempt. Test everything. Hold on to the good. Avoid every kind of evil. May God himself, the God of peace, sanctify you through and through May your whole spirit, soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. The one who calls you is faithful and he will do it. (1Thes.5:16-24) I thank God, whom I serve, as my forefathers did, with a clear conscience, as night and day I constantly remember you in my prayers. (2Tim 1-3.)
We all need prayer, prayer is our only weapon, against all evil, if we could just sit and pray and really talk to God openly even for me, all the stress and all my pain and affliction would end. If we could all just go into our prayer closet as Jesus suggested in Matt. 6:6 we all would be better people, today I was answering so many prayers that are asking to be taken out of there own daily burden of suffering, the requests were very strong and they seam to be getting more intense, as the days go on, They are not in the same area, but it is all over the world, Satan is attacking stronger and stronger, if 1500 pastors are giving up there lives each month, to do something else, there has to be an explanation for all of it. I really believe we are approaching the end times, and our Jesus is coming back soon, probably sooner than we think, this is why I am constantly on line in prayer for others basically to rid them of there burdens grant then prayers for healing and to also save some before it is to late. I too am under a great attack more than ever, and I have to keep in constant prayer, and it is even hard for me to pray 24/7 but we do what we can in the helping of others. God didn’t let this affliction that I am going through for nothing, it is serving a purpose and the purpose indeed is to give me enough time to spend with others, and to give them hope as they live the lives they are living, some are suffering so bad, and the world is catching up with everyone, marriages are breaking up people are constantly worried about money, possessions and accomplishments, people are turning to the world for pleasure instead of God. Some are not even considering there brothers and sisters there is less and less understanding and communication. I wish I could reach out to all, with the many prayers requests that I receive. I try my best, but then the attacks set in, the phone rings, or some other hardship comes along, I myself am being bombed by evil and I keep pressing on so my prayers are all with you, and I will be praying though what ever attack or heath problem I have, the devil is not going to win. He all ready has lost the battle at the cross 2000 years ago, and as it says he is the father of lies, and we must all stand with truth, we are the eternal children of God. Don’t let the devil fool you. I pray for your hope healing and a blessing of grace and peace.
“Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.” (Gal 6:9) Even though I have suffered this last 8 months, I am not going to give up helping all people in sending out prayer responses. Even though it will not get us into heaven any quicker, it holds a gentle peace to help and care for others, the importance of that to me is a large amount that I have to give. To bring people out of discouragement and pain and to give them strength and hope to get through another day with the burdens they may carry. We all carry burdens, some more some less then the others, but through prayer it is an addition to the human heart not only with a request to God through our Lord Jesus, it is an element of love, an added love the way Christ loved us. “Be strong and take heart, all you who hope in the Lord.” Psalm (31:24) “I am still confident of this: I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord.” (Psalm 27:13-14) Waiting is and can be hard at times, I myself have been waiting to be diagnosed, the affliction remains the same, I saw another doctor today, that he had really no idea what to do, or what steps to take, and here is a man well above his ranks in this field. “No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us.” (Rom 8:37) We are all conquerors and we all have God’s promises, so no matter what you are suffering today, things have to work out for the best, at some point. “My son, do not forget my teaching, But let your heart keep my commandments; For length of days and years of life And peace they will add to you. Do not let kindness and truths leave you; Bind them around your neck, Write them on the tablet of your heart. So you will find favor and good repute In the sight of God and man. Trust in the LORD with all your heart And do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He will make your paths straight.”(Prov. 3:1-8) Sometimes it may be a test for what we are going through, no matter what it may be, trusting the Lord is a major key that will unlock this world of sorrow and misconceptions. “I am glad I can have complete confidence in you.” (2Cor.7:16) “In Him and through faith in Him we may approach God with freedom and confidence.” (Eph 3:12) Just to be able to approach the God of the universe is a gift in itself, which is another gift that is sometimes overlooked, when Christ died and suffered for our sins, He was able to make us white as snow, to be able to pray and talk to our awesome God. Sometimes I wish I could simply sprinkle just portions of the love and promises of our Lord to all the people that are still in the world. “Dear friends, if our hearts do not condemn us, we have confidence before God and receive from Him anything we ask, because we obey His commands and do what pleases Him. And this is his command: to believe in the name of His Son, Jesus Christ, and to love one another as He commanded us. Those who obey His commands live in Him, and He in them. And this is how we know that He lives in us: We know it by the Spirit He gave us.” (1John 3:21-24) My prayers and hope are always with you all.
Dear Father in Heaven it all has been a tough week for me, with all the added stress and doctors, and I hope and pray for a better week next time that we meet. My prayers are with you all. We have to remember to pray and to care for one another. That is our job here on this planet earth. We all Love you Father, We all love you Jesus, We all love you Holy Spirit. We share all the blessings from the church to you all, if you need an extra prayer need, please don’t hesitate to let us know, we are always here to help.
Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal. 2Cor. 4:16:17
We pass on many blessings to you all with grace and peace, In Jesus name, Amen and Amen
