Does Anyone Want The Truth?

Bible Truth Christian Church
Good morning everyone, to all my brothers and sisters in Christ. Welcome to the church family. Welcome to the 322nd Church Sunday service of -The Church Ministries- Even though we are scattered all over the world, we are still one in Christ. We know that the Father and the Son are one and we as His children are one- included in the one, we are a simple gathering of believers who obtain power and authority from our loving God. We all may be in different areas with different cultures, speaking different languages that most of us are caring our crosses for our Lord Jesus Christ, the King of Kings. We are all living our lives for God by the direction and leading of The Holy Spirit. You may feel alone at times but you are never alone when you can tap into the power and love of our God. We are very fortunate to have a triune of pure love and mercy with power beyond the Heavens living now after the new birth right inside of us, but as each step we take we are carried, walked or comforted by an unseen force, that is so powerful our bodies or natural minds do not feel it. Our spirits that contain the full Godhead are our true being- all for the Lord- as we communicate we are having conversations expressing love between each other, praise- worship- friendship- direction-grace- mercy and understanding all in the spiritual and natural realm. We loose focus in the natural realm- we still are in an unseen battle daily not with flesh and blood and ordinary human worldly thinking. I still remember to put on the whole armor of God, which we may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. We can’t forget all believers are up against principalities, powers, and the darkness of this world and against spiritual wickedness that just comes with the territory.  It may be a simple day of an ordinary life doing a day to day planting in a natural environment – with all types of people. We are supernatural beings that with God’s power we can do almost anything the Holy Spirit directs us to do, but what we wish is to serve others in need- and hoping of the race of people we have contact with- we can win them over to the spiritual world and the love of Christ with the sharing and just general conversation of the Gospel. We still live in a way of thankfulness and we all need to exercise our spirits, just like a runner exercises- so he can go farther and farther- once we realize that there is no limits to our spiritual existence this is where the joy of life comes into being. “If there be therefore any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any bowels and mercies, Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind. Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves. Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others.” [Phil. 2:1-4] It is hard trying to help one another with different words each Sunday and I sit up all night and it makes it hard on me still after all this time, God has given us all the authority to do the things we ought to do but still the church is still preaching another gospel, and people today don’t believe in the word no matter how much you give out proof with scripture. I don’t want to see people hurt when they do finally reach heaven there will be many tears flowing and they should be just pure happiness, but the thing is when everyone finds out what the devil really is they will say to themselves I was afraid of that, all that fear and all those things I suffered all for nothing, yes God will be wiping the tears from our eyes. Plus the fact that they will go from a world full of lies and end up in total truth- and there will be even more tears. And when everyone finds out they had all this power and God gave it all to every born again believer- all the authority and dominion God gave to Adam and Eve, and the devil stole that too from us all. And when Jesus came and took the sins away from every human in the world all through time and space from every sin you have ever done to every sin that you will do, it may be hard to believe but how could you even be saved if Christ died 2,000 years ago, and all the atoning sacrifices were done that long ago, and then Jesus sat down on the right side of God- even on the cross He said it was finished. Well it was between the three of our Godhead the plan they made worked but today people are still living in the past, and they have not turned the page, some are still living and preaching the law and the Old Testament. People are going to be crying when they don’t see their loved ones even make it to be with them- they fell into the wrong congregation and ended up somewhere else. God will be ministering to many people when they reach heaven and God wants people like us to share the truth, so they can learn and maybe even save their loved ones lives on earth if they had the chance.  “Who also hath made us able ministers of the New Testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life. Yes I explained to you all before most of the Law was written for entirely different reason.  But if the ministration of death, written and engraven in stones, was glorious, yes even the ten commandments they call them the ministration of death, people didn’t really know how things worked- or what they were sure to follow- people were relying on their own selves like a self-righteousness, they thought they had to perform and still do deeds and things to please God. They just missed the point. Jesus came to be our savior so we didn’t have to worry about sin any more or even having that feeling of unworthiness to approach God and fellowship and talk and have a relationship with God this is what God wanted. So that the children of Israel could not stedfastly behold the face of Moses for the glory of his countenance; which glory was to be done away: How shall not the ministration of the spirit be rather glorious? The thing is Moses spent so much time with God that his face shinned and people felt strange looking into this light of God- it wasn’t over bearing Moses just wore a veil over his face so people would feel more relaxed while talking to him. For if the ministration of condemnation be glory, much more doth the ministration of righteousness exceed in glory. For even that which was made glorious had no glory in this respect, by reason of the glory that excelleth. People just missed out on the glory of God and what Moses was really doing for them and God’s glory shined like a bright light and I would love to spend time with God and have myself glowing, when I first arrived in Hawaii I wanted to build a instrument and my teacher said to me I just glowed when she saw me that was 7 years ago and a library of books-schools- and intense study of the bible latter, now the sickness has just gotten to me I haven’t lost faith in fact I am closer to God now then I ever was plus my understanding of the whole plan from the seed placed into Mary- I understand the history just to be able to have a pure virgin birth so Jesus could be without sin, plus last week I talked about the genealogies of Mary and Joseph  For if that which is done away was glorious, much more that which remaineth is glorious. Now we are in the New Testament and that alone everything that God planed the age of church or the age of grace, the glory there is the old law is Gone- and that is glorious and the new covenant was in affect. Seeing then that we have such hope, we use great plainness of speech: And the Apostle Paul was speaking in plainness of speech he didn’t have to yell and spit and he just had to explain to the Corinthians their ups and downs their mistakes and the things they missed. And not as Moses, which put a veil over his face, that the children of Israel could not steadfastly look to the end of that which is abolished: But their minds were blinded: for until this day remaineth the same veil untaken away in the reading of the old testament; which veil is done away in Christ. The people still felt uncomfortable of there own sin for worshiping that golden calf and that whole generation had to die off before they entered into the Promised Land. Then when Jesus died we talked about relationships already and how God wanted us to be closer to him. That veil that separated was spit down the middle into the room of the holy of holies and only one priest could enter into for the symbolic way of taking away all the sins, but we new Christ was the only one that could do that. So this heavy veil had gold tread sewn into this veil and it was cut by God from top to bottom. Meaning any ordinary Christian now could enter into the holy of holies, they were clean if they accepted Christ or new he was the Messiah and was part of his team of about 500 or so people. Which He only visited the believers after his resurrection, I would have gone up to Pilate and shook his bead and would have said are your hands clean enough now? But even unto this day, when Moses is read, the veil is upon their heart. Nevertheless when it shall turn to the Lord, the veil shall be taken away. Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.” [2Cor.3:6-18]
So we accepted Christ we are changed which I have explained for many weeks and the old spirit which is more or less run by the devil and the new spirit you get so much I have been giving you lists upon lists for weeks now. We are born again “Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: {he is different} old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.” [2Cor.5:17] “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.” [2Cor.18-19] To make a long story short we were not getting along with God and we all turned and became friends of God so we could communicate with Him the veil was gone there was nothing that anyone could feel bad about and they still didn’t get it. The veil was over their hearts! So many still the religious people did not believe that Jesus was the Son of God all because of small technicalities and they all could have been explained but Jesus didn’t want to explain them- I guess he new He was going to be sacrificed so why try and prove to everyone that He was the Messiah. This was the main trade off he took upon Himself the sins of man and he gave everyone His own righteousness.  “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.5:21] You all know I grew up a different person and I never expected this I had no idea I was going to end up in the ministry, and end up on a web-site I came here to build a mission, and things just didn’t work out.
“And when he had called unto him his twelve disciples, he gave them power against unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all manner of sickness and all manner of disease. Now the names of the twelve apostles are these; The first, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother; James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother; Philip, and Bartholomew; Thomas, and Matthew the publican; James the son of Alphaeus, and Lebbaeus, whose surname was Thaddaeus; Simon the Canaanite, and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed him. These twelve Jesus sent forth, and commanded them, saying, Go not into the way of the Gentiles, and into any city of the Samaritans enter ye not: But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand. Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give. Provide neither gold, nor silver, nor brass in your purses, Nor scrip for your journey, neither two coats, neither shoes, nor yet staves: for the workman is worthy of his meat. And into whatsoever city or town ye shall enter, enquire who in it is worthy; and there abide till ye go thence. And when ye come into an house, salute it. And if the house be worthy, let your peace come upon it: but if it be not worthy, let your peace return to you. And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words, when ye depart out of that house or city, shake off the dust of your feet. Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment, than for that city. Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves. But beware of men: for they will deliver you up to the councils, and they will scourge you in their synagogues; And ye shall be brought before governors and kings for my sake, for a testimony against them and the Gentiles. But when they deliver you up, take no thought how or what ye shall speak: for it shall be given you in that same hour what ye shall speak. For it is not ye that speak, but the Spirit of your Father which speaketh in you.” [Matt.10:1-20]  “Then he called his twelve disciples together, and gave them power and authority over all devils, and to cure diseases. And he sent them to preach the kingdom of God, and to heal the sick. And he said unto them, Take nothing for your journey, neither staves, nor scrip, neither bread, neither money; neither have two coats apiece. And whatsoever house ye enter into, there abide, and thence depart. And whosoever will not receive you, when ye go out of that city, shake off the very dust from your feet for a testimony against them. And they departed, and went through the towns, preaching the gospel, and healing every where.” [Luke 9:1-6] 
“Now Peter and John went up together into the temple at the hour of prayer, being the ninth hour. And a certain man lame from his mother's womb was carried, whom they laid daily at the gate of the temple which is called Beautiful, to ask alms of them that entered into the temple; Who seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple asked an alms. And Peter, fastening his eyes upon him with John, said, Look on us. And he gave heed unto them, expecting to receive something of them. Then Peter said, Silver and gold have I none; {but such as I have} give I thee: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk. {If you would say that in church today they would try and throw you out} And he took him by the right hand, and lifted him up: and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength. And he leaping up stood, and walked, and entered with them into the temple, walking, and leaping, and praising God. And all the people saw him walking and praising God: And they knew that it was he which sat for alms at the Beautiful gate of the temple: and they were filled with wonder and amazement at that which had happened unto him. And as the lame man which was healed held Peter and John, all the people ran together unto them in the porch that is called Solomon's, greatly wondering. And when Peter saw it, he answered unto the people, Ye men of Israel, why marvel ye at this? or why look ye so earnestly on us, as though by our own power or holiness we had made this man to walk? The God of Abraham, and of Isaac, and of Jacob, the God of our fathers, hath glorified his Son Jesus; whom ye delivered up, and denied him in the presence of Pilate, when he was determined to let him go. But ye denied the Holy One and the Just, and desired a murderer to be granted unto you; And killed the Prince of life, whom God hath raised from the dead; whereof we are witnesses. And his name through faith in his name hath made this man strong, whom ye see and know: yea, the faith which is by him hath given him this perfect soundness in the presence of you all.” [Acts 3:1-16]  “There was a certain man in Caesarea called Cornelius, a centurion of the band called the Italian band, 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. And when the angel which spake unto Cornelius was departed, he called two of his household servants, and a devout soldier of them that waited on him continually; And when he had declared all these things unto them, he sent them to Joppa.” [Acts 10:1-8]   On the morrow, as they went on their journey, and drew nigh unto the city, Peter went up upon the housetop to pray about the sixth hour: 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 fourfooted 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] Now that you heard the whole story we all realize it takes flesh and blood to preach the Gospel, because the angel could not do it and they all have strict rules about entering a mans house that isn’t circumcised or a Gentile, but Peter got that vision from God or the spirit to show Him to start preaching to the gentiles not just the Jews so Peter almost got his head bitten off when he returned to Jerusalem, but he told them all when he and the others arrived and told his story about the vision and how the angel could not preach the gospel. We are to take control each week I have been telling you all about the power of the mankind has once he was born again and in the first part of Acts Jesus made sure they didn’t go anywhere until they got hit with the baptismal on the day of Pentecost.  “To whom also he shewed himself alive after his passion by many infallible proofs, being seen of them forty days, and speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God: And, being assembled together with them, commanded them that they should not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father, which, saith he, ye have heard of me. For John truly baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days hence. When they therefore were come together, they asked of him, saying, Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel? And he said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power. But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth. And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight.” [Acts 1:3-9]
Now you see the importance to get the power of the Holy Spirit as the whole book of Acts it tells of the Holy Spirit even given them the right words to say and they knew these religious leaders knew they were not schooled men- but they had to have been with Jesus to have this power and they had great difficulty trying to explain about the man healed after 40 years sitting at the gate called beautiful and they didn’t want them to preach or tell stories about Jesus healing and they all said they must do what their God has said to them and that is more important then what man says to them to do.   “And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting. And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance. And there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men, out of every nation under heaven. Now when this was noised abroad, the multitude came together, and were confounded, because that every man heard them speak in his own language. And they were all amazed and marvelled, saying one to another, Behold, are not all these which speak Galilaeans? And how hear we every man in our own tongue, wherein we were born? Parthians, and Medes, and Elamites, and the dwellers in Mesopotamia, and in Judaea, and Cappadocia, in Pontus, and Asia, Phrygia, and Pamphylia, in Egypt, and in the parts of Libya about Cyrene, and strangers of Rome, Jews and proselytes, Cretes and Arabians, we do hear them speak in our tongues the wonderful works of God. And they were all amazed, and were in doubt, saying one to another, What meaneth this?” [Acts 2:1-12] You figure these men all leaders in the main section of all Jesusalem. They are hearing 16 different languages going off talking about God and theses men were astonished they knew that most of the men were all Galilaeans-and here they are speaking 16 different languages out of their own original country. So then Peter Got up and made his famous speech and taled about the prophecy about the book of Joel.  “But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice, and said unto them, Ye men of Judaea, and all ye that dwell at Jerusalem, be this known unto you, and hearken to my words: For these are not drunken, as ye suppose, seeing it is but the third hour of the day. {9 in the morning} But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel; And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams: And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy: And I will shew wonders in heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath; blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke: The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and notable day of the Lord come: And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved. Ye men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know: Him, being delivered by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, ye have taken, and by wicked hands have crucified and slain: Whom God hath raised up, having loosed the pains of death: because it was not possible that he should be holden of it. For David speaketh concerning him, I foresaw the Lord always before my face, for he is on my right hand, that I should not be moved: Therefore did my heart rejoice, and my tongue was glad; moreover also my flesh shall rest in hope: Because thou wilt not leave my soul in hell, neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption. Thou hast made known to me the ways of life; thou shalt make me full of joy with thy countenance. Men and brethren, let me freely speak unto you of the patriarch David, that he is both dead and buried, and his sepulchre is with us unto this day. Therefore being a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him, that of the fruit of his loins, according to the flesh, he would raise up Christ to sit on his throne; He seeing this before spake of the resurrection of Christ, that his soul was not left in hell, neither his flesh did see corruption. This Jesus hath God raised up, whereof we all are witnesses. Therefore being by the right hand of God exalted, and having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Ghost, he hath shed forth this, which ye now see and hear. For David is not ascended into the heavens: but he saith himself, The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, Until I make thy foes thy footstool. Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath made the same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ. Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do? 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. For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the LORD our God shall call. And with many other words did he testify and exhort, saying, Save yourselves from this untoward generation. Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls.” [Acts 2:14-41] I don’t want to get to far into this but the assembly got together and didn’t want them to teach or say anything about Jesus and Peter and John started there speech and they said they could not get that they were saying they were going to continue to preach about Jesus and see if more miracles occur and they went back on what the assembly wanted them to more or less shut them up and they more or less weren’t going to, they are not going to be stuff men, and not do what Jesus asked all of us to do, they are not going to order them to do nothing- they are going to do what God ordered them to do. This is one of the most impotant scriptures in the bible and they said this as a last note before they tell them they can’t preach Jesus so they said this scripture.  “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] They just saved three thousand souls that day and they were not going to stop there this was the beginning of the whole church of Jesus Christ they are not going to sit back and listen to a bunch of powerless unbelievers. They might have had power with the town but not supernatural power from God. One of the men even said you would be fighting against God if these men were in truth. The proof of the man was standing right there praising God and leaping in the air and he was over 40 years old imagine being able to move after being completely unable to walk or move on there own for 40 years and two guys walk up and hardly said a prayer like I said before in a church today 99% of the time we would get thrown out and they said {such as I have}-{give I to thee} in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk}.  “And he took him by the right hand, and lifted him up: and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength. And he leaping up stood, and walked, and entered with them into the temple, walking, and leaping, and praising God.” [Acts 3:7-8] This is how bad we have dis- evolved we all have the same power all the same faith all the same love but all of us had to work on our unbelief and our faith and to have a single mind not a double mind, and being able to believe with our hearts- that is the must, to see with our hearts, to hear with our hearts, and we should not ever have a hardened heart- given to us from stress or hardship or by the world or Satan. This is the way we should pray like a command not just a begging prayer like I have heard many of us all do, we should get these people out of the prayer closet and on to the streets helping the people with the raise the dead power we raise someone from the dead- we will have our own revival all at once- we have to be bold- right after that event- they all got hit again they all were into the same prayer the same mind and the most part is of (one accord) listen to the words this is good I can’t let this go by:  “And being let go, they went to their own company, and reported all that the chief priests and elders had said unto them. 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.” [Acts 4:23-31] All of them were praying of one mind and one accord, which if we all did that and all were believers together and with no unbelief we could move mountains or heal anything or do anything. This is the power God brought Jesus to the earth for to take back what the devil tricked Adam and Eve and stole from mankind, and it took God 4,000 years to get a virgin like Mary and set up the family’s from Joseph too- this is why the law was made there might have not been a virgin to for God to plant His seed in to have a baby born sinless. The world was going sexually mad.  “Making the word of God of none effect through your tradition, which ye have delivered: and many such like things do ye.” [Mark 7:13]  “But he answered and said unto them, Why do ye also transgress the commandment of God by your tradition? [Matt.15:3]  “And honour not his father or his mother, he shall be free. Thus have ye made the commandment of God of none effect by your tradition.” [Matt. 15:6]  “But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.” [Matt.15:9]  “Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men. For laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold the tradition of men, as the washing of pots and cups: and many other such like things ye do. And he said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition.” [Mark 7:7-9] By these traditions of men it kills the power in you to perform many tasks, between Mark and Matt. They are talking about the same things about {not taking care of there mother or father} if they give their money to the church- but if they give their money to the church the parents suffer- so the son gets a better seat in the sanctuary-. And eating with unwashed hands it is what comes out of the body that makes truth- because what comes out of the body comes from the heart- and many bad things can be stored in the heart and the same words that have a blessing- the same words out of the same mouth- by your words you can be condemned. Either make the tree good, and his fruit good; or else make the tree corrupt, and his fruit corrupt: for the tree is known by his fruit. O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh. A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things. But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment. For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned [Matt 12:33-37] Words are very important that is how the Lord made the universe- by words He spoke things into existence-- and the word or the seed was implanted into Mary to have Jesus, by way of the Holy Spirit. “If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.” [2Cron.7:14] Even though this is an old testament prayer it still falls into the culture of the subject we are talking about we must be bold, the veil is gone we can approach God now- God is looking at our spirits- and our spirits are identical to Jesus with almost the same powers, People still are having the image of God with His arms folded and thinking is this person even worthy that I even listen to him? People still don’t get it! God has His arms wide open to love us to listen to us to fellowship with us God sees spirits of Jesus He does not look at the body or the soul -God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth. People have to get it through their minds that we have the power to get the things you need done- we don’t ask God for not to much any more if any one would be confused it would be God- God is say to himself I know I already gave them this and I know I already gave them the power to do that. How can you ask God for something He has already gave you- and it was prepared and ready to go for you before you were even born? It is up to us- doesn’t anyone get it anymore or am I just typing to myself, sometimes I feel this way what do I have to do- to have these people read the truth- don’t they want to be set free- or do they want to be slaves of sin for the rest of eternity? Either they don’t want to listen or they do the people that read the letters and then the sermons or just spend sometime on the site and no one will ever gain anything? I always said if one man can read it and saves them here we have a full village in Pakistan that is falling apart and kids are in the mud with no place to go this is bad. People are driving around in a car that could feed and cloth and give enough water and shelter for a good piece of the whole country- just riding to the store to get a donut and coffee, and that probably is not their only car, how much is enough? How much is it? There are so many people that don’t ever have to worry about money and what are they going to do with it rent a u-haul and tie it on back of the Hurst? Look what the apostles did in the fist century they made sure no one was in need. Does anyone care anymore about human life? I tried it in the secular world and I had people stabbing me in the back because I was doing good, I was always there I was there everyday I had to be, I saw pictures of dolphins the other day and it almost made me sick the water in this inlet in Europe somewhere and they hunt  the dolphins- the dolphin is the closest thing to man, it is a mammal- it breaths oxygen they can be trained and loved just like any smart animal now here is an endangered species on the list and they are killing these dolphins by suffering they put three hooks in it and let it bleed to death, and you see this giant inlet of water all red and there are about 50 dolphins dieing through suffering in red bloody water and a dolphin will save you from a shark attack with out even being trained- they don’t like violence, and they got this strong nose to push or really hurt a shark- that is going to eat you- and this dolphin is getting killed and stacked and racked up- and it is horrible the waters are read and the fish or mammal that is like us but a fish you can even talk with it and train it for anything. When is it enough? Why kill all those fish when they will not be anymore to kill. What is there problem if that is all they know how to do move somewhere were you can find something else to fish.  “God forbid: yea, let God be true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mightiest be justified in thy sayings, and mightiest overcome when thou art judged.” [Rom.3:4]  “Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,” [Rom.1:22] And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: [2Thes2:11] People do not believe in the bible anymore- they believe what there church teaches them- and the generation before that- I knew a pastor who his father was a pastor and his father’s father was the same pastor- I prayed for that church almost everyday for almost 6 months. Because they were teaching the wrong doctrine each boy grew up knowing the bible almost every word but they didn’t know life, they only knew life from the church that is all they new. It is funny you mention tongues or baptism of the Holy Spirit they think you should not join the church. Or you are of the devil. That is a cop-out. Why is the church still mixing the old with the new? It does not mix it causes confusion and all kinds of evil works. Why do some churches believe in a few parts of the bible and none of other parts? Why do churches write their own bible? Why don’t some churches believe that Jesus is not the son of God, do people enjoy hell? I will never figure that out.  Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. [James 4:7] God told us to resist the devil and he will flee, we don’t ask God to get the devil off our backs God wants us to do things in this world he wants us to help each other that is why there are people on the earth.
I have no idea why everyone wants to live in the same place like N.Y. all at once pay the highest rent and have the biggest bugs? In the book of Acts the jailer asked after he thought they escaped “And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved? And they said, “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved,” and thy house. [Acts 16:30-31]  “That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart- that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. [Rom.10:9]  “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.” [Gen 1:26]  “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.1:28]  “Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?” [Rom 6:16] This scripture wasn’t written yet but it was on God’s mind so whoever you yield too that is going to be your boss, and when Adam and Eve listened to a talking snake and ate of the tree of good and evil. That was the fall of mankind. Adam and Eve started to die spiritually then they lived without the spirit for  900 or so more years?  So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. [Rom 10:17] For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance. [Rom.11:29] So many of you feel powerless and you have all the power God can give in fact there is no more room- you have to open up your soul to let some of the virtue come out into the soul- and then to the body and the body just comes along like a end of a train for the ride- and it will be easy to enter into the body. Our spirits we will have eternally what we have in or spirits will always be there – when we get to heaven we will get immortal souls and bodies- I guess what you pushed over into your soul from your spirit you will always have also. That would be a logical answer.  “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] Jesus did so much for us and the thing is no one knows or should I say hardly anyone really knows what exactly he did for us all. I talk to my mother every weekend for a long time and send her stuff on how to be saved and I have doubts that she is saved, she says she has read the stuff I gave here like salvation prayers and I tell her about what I wrote each weekend and she must get something out of it. She has never saw my website and she tried to look once 5 years ago and she once a week goes over to her friends house and he has a computer on usually and she could just type in the ministry and it is usually number one on Goggle if you write [thechurch ministries] in the search she said she tried once but couldn’t find it. I don’t know if she is saved or ever tried to find the ministry it has been number 1 or more 147or 139 or 125 it changes every week it would get to the point they would print what I wrote the week before.. She has to be by now, she is different it seems like she is but – “And you hath he quickened, = {given life} who were dead in trespasses and sins; Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:” [Eph.1:1-2]  “For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way.” [2Thes.2:7]  “For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work.” [James 3:16] “For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints. [1Cor.14:33]  “Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee.” [Isa. 26:3]  “And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth. [John 1:14] “Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him. He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings: and the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father's which sent me. [John 14:23-24]  “It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life. [John 6:63] I have been writing for almost 7 years isn’t anyone going to listen to the truth.
Humanist I would assume they would not believe in anything spiritual at all,  most people have no idea that your spirit has changed not your soul or body in general physiology there is only two parts to every man or mankind they don’t understand the spirit at all they don’t even believe we even have a spirit. Most churches are the same way they preach salvation and preach salvation again but Jesus suffered 3 more atonements that most people don’t even talk about why? They are the ones that send people away which we talked about last week, when a man comes in with half his family and the church lights are still open either on Sunday night or Wednesday night, he goes in and asks if anyone could pray for his arm he has to bang nails and frame a whole house as fast as he can but his arm is in so much pain from the days before driving those 2 and 3  penny nails in all day and  he needs someone to pray for him so he can finish the house and get paid, if his arm is so sore he will not be able to finish- he will have to give his arm a rest, so the pastor is still there, he says have you tried the hospital have you tried the doctor or maybe get some of that cream {my idea} that goes deep into the muscle tissue but if you didn’t finish the house yet your broke until the job is done then the pastor asks have you tried welfare or some other government agency? Like I said last week I would just pray on his arm till it was healed, we know in our hearts that the mans arm through the grace of God it has been already healed, and we just need someone with the power and authority and of course faith which we all have if we have been born again in our spirits. Most of the time the pastor does asks him all the questions- he doesn’t reach into his pocket and hand him some money to get that cream. And he gets sent away. Same church an accountant is working hard during tax time he gets headaches when he over works himself and he has a certain base of forms he has to finish or he will look bad and aspirin will not do it he needs a day off to relax his mind he may have a spirit that is demonic that is causing these headaches and he needs to be prayed on even with the baptism of the Holy Spirit might relax him enough that he can make it another day, and the pastor does not know what to do he can’t go to the hospital for over work during tax time and they are not going to believe in a demonic spirit that needs to be taken out of his body. They send him home. The pastor thinks he is powerless and will not even attempt to pray for the man. I would stay with him till what ever is wrong with him is fixed. Another guy pulls up the same pastor but this man get thrown out of his house he is a bit short to rent a hotel room he works construction and the whole house is under attack his wife hates him and yells at him and the neighbors are calling and complaining about the noise this is a real war she is acting like an anti-Christ- anti-Buddha- or an anti- Islam which ever it may be- she is not saved but he is and the kids are, he needs a shower and a good nights sleep working all day laying brick and cement. He needs a few bucks to get a sandwich and  something to drink and he will sleep and shower he can’t go home the spirits are bouncing off the walls at his own house, he can’t take another sick day, he will be fired he can sleep in his little Toyota but he is a big man and full of dirt, he would wake up sore and needs to stretch out because of his back he has a change of clothes incase he steps in the wet mud, {cement}the pastor has no idea what to say to the guy basically the same questions and he gets sent away, I would reach into my pocket take him to the store in my car and get him a sandwich and a quart of some liquid, and I pull while he is or have him stretch out on the floor at the church and  fix his back and then take him to a cheap motel with and with the money he had probably I only would have to add 10 bucks we pray together for tomorrow, maybe rain ½ day and his wife we cast a demonic depression out of the house, so he can return home tomorrow, this mans life was saved, he was a bit older and working with brick and cement all his life has wore him down- his wife being not a Christian he should have listened to these scriptures  “For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband: else were your children unclean; but now are they holy. But if the unbelieving depart, let him depart. A brother or a sister is not under bondage in such cases: but God hath called us to peace. For what knowest thou, O wife, whether thou shalt save thy husband? or how knowest thou, O man, whether thou shalt save thy wife? But as God hath distributed to every man, as the Lord hath called every one, so let him walk. And so ordain I in all churches. [1Cor.7:14-17]  “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]  “Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?” [1Cor.6:17] We prayed these scriptures plus I ministered to him a while I let him stretch out on his back and gave it a pull again and all the bones clicked then I turned him over and pushed on each vertebrae till it popped and did a few other things and helped him out he got into his room at motel 6 and I stayed a while he started to eat and then I took off- he said he was coming to my church from now on I said that is your own choice but he wanted to pay me back for everything, it took me a whole hour and I went home.  That’s what we are there for to help the people at war, you have to dress their wounds and fix them up for another day and I left him a card with the armor of God on in. The last car before I went home needed a few dollars till they could get to the next town and out of the city and met nicer people to make it about 50 miles with 3 kids and his wife, Those few bucks got him too a quiet area and he could bum some change so he could get to work on his first day- and had to park were you can sleep also, the next morning he was long gone with his family. “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. [Eph.6:11-13] This is the card I left the cement brick layer, but it had all the things you where.  8Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ. [Col 2:8]  “I have said, ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High.” [Psalm82:6]   [Proverbs 15:16]  Better is little with the fear of the LORD than great treasure and trouble therewith.God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds; Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high: Being made so much better than the angels, as he hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they. For unto which of the angels said he at any time, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee? And again, I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son? [Heb1:1-5] And again, when he bringeth in the firstbegotten into the world, he saith, And let all the angels of God worship him. And of the angels he saith, Who maketh his angels spirits, and his ministers a flame of fire. But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom. Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, even thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows. And, Thou, Lord, in the beginning hast laid the foundation of the earth; and the heavens are the works of thine hands: They shall perish; but thou remainest; and they all shall wax old as doth a garment; And as a vesture shalt thou fold them up, and they shall be changed: but thou art the same, and thy years shall not fail. But to which of the angels said he at any time, Sit on my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool? Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation? [Heb1:1-14]  “How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them that heard him; God also bearing them witness, both with signs and wonders, and with divers miracles, and gifts of the Holy Ghost, according to his own will?” [Heb2:3-4]  But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man. {Heb.2:9}  “And again, I will put my trust in him. And again, Behold I and the children which God hath given me. Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil;”  “And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made. And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made. These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that the LORD God made the earth and the heavens, And every plant of the field before it was in the earth, and every herb of the field before it grew: for the LORD God had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and there was not a man to till the ground. But there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground. And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.” [Gen2:2-7]  “Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it. For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it. For we which have believed do enter into rest, as he said, As I have sworn in my wrath, if they shall enter into my rest: although the works were finished from the foundation of the world. For he spake in a certain place of the seventh day on this wise, And God did rest the seventh day from all his works. And in this place again, If they shall enter into my rest. [Heb.4:1-5] “Unto whom I sware in my wrath that they should not enter into my rest.” [Psalms 95:11]  “Seeing therefore it remaineth that some must enter therein, and they to whom it was first preached entered not in because of unbelief: Again, he limiteth a certain day, saying in David, To day, after so long a time; as it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts. For if Jesus had given them rest, then would he not afterward have spoken of another day. There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God. For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his. Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief. For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.” [Heb.4:6-12]  “For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.” [Heb.4:15-16]  “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] “And he said unto them, 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. And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen.” [Mark 16:15-20]
