Good Morning Everyone, Welcome to The Church Ministries. We open today to say hello to the world, we started this church hoping to be a needy mission that was going to feed, clothe, and house all the needy people of Hilo, Hawaii and then I came upon an affliction that know one can diagnose and everything changed for the worse. I started The Church Ministries on the web and through all the changes I became weaker and weaker and realized that was all I could do. Now the church is a world wide ministry and we have members throughout the world and we know the sermons are going well. I pray to God this week will be a spirit filled blessing to everyone around the world. I have gone through another hard week but we know our lives here on Earth are only a blink of an eye. We all love the Lord and the membership is building not to be very boastful, and that alone is something to be very thankful for, Amen, Praise the Lord. On the other hand, all in one day, I get a phone call telling me my office and home is going on the market that day. I received an email and Satan made me think there was a huge mix up with the website that I was going to lose the church. Living with this undiagnosed disease in my mouth, the church website threatened to be closed, and being virtually driven out from house and office I was devastated! This is an awful lot for one man to handle on any given day and I am only human and I sincerely and humbly have to ask you all for prayers, lots of prayers, since the evil doer is definitely at work here trying to kill me and destroy all of the churches work, helping and healing people all over the globe. Thank you and bless you all, if anyone visiting for the first time, I love the Lord and we are a gathering of believers that examine the Bible very much like the Bereaians in Acts 17:11. We are a Bible Truth Christian Church, the only church called to this fashion. We are separate, without divisions, with no denominations, a figurative value of the early church. Almost all of you know how we came up with the name you can look up in the sermon archives to hear the history. We plead to all the members to please pray for this situation. Thank you again. Today, I am not going to talk about spiritual warfare, not that there isn’t much I could add. I just have not decided what to talk about yet and I have been in prayers for hours these past couple of days and I feel the Holy Spirit will lead me. Prayer is the only thing that has gotten me by. Prayer is the key to all life. When we get to Heaven, God will take us by the hand if we are worthy, and tell us well done good and faithful servant, come in and share with me. We need you all to love each other the way Christ has loved us and I still do love you all! Whatever happens to the Church and myself, please help to continue it on for me. I have no idea what will happen to me day by day. I am very close to God and He is all we ever need in this world. The more we pray the more we will be at one with Jesus, the Father and the Holy Spirit will give us the words to form a perfect union of love. I do not know what is going to happen and I have no place to go and I am so weak I do not know how I would even pack up this house and office, but I do know, without doubt or any reservations that the Almighty Lord will provide.
Dear Heavenly Father, Please Lord give me the boldness and courage today to speak forth Your word. I pray for the freedom to open my mouth through the leading of the Holy Spirit in what you want me to say today for the congregation and the visitors and return visitors. I ask for the boldness to speak about Christ and the power of His resurrection. I want to center everything on the book of John and in the end when he is explaining to his Disciples that He must go away, and to love one another. Lord we are here in the Name Of Jesus, I allow my life to lovingly express truth in all things, speaking truly, dealing truly, and living truly. So today we are here to worship You Father in word and deed we are doing all we can in the Name of the Lord Jesus, giving praise to You, Father through Him. Let this prayer be set forth as incense before You, we lift up our hands to You in truth, praise and worship. We open our mouths, filled Your Praise and Honor on this gathering day. Father we thank the pastors and elders and lay people that are translating to others this word today. Father, grant us the grace of life and breath. We ask the Holy Spirit to bring to everyone of us that hears this prayer, please let us get blessed by the power of the Spirit of God, Lord let the Spirit dwell in this gathering and anoint each and everyone of us, let us feel Your presence, let us please feel the anointing of pure love, peace, and sincerity, please enrich our hearts and souls this day. Please nurture our spirits to come alive so we all can connect to each other in truth and in spirit, In Jesus Name, Amen.
Who has believed our message and to whom has the arm of the LORD been revealed? He grew up before him like a tender shoot, and like a root out of dry ground. He had no beauty or majesty to attract us to him, nothing in his appearance that we should desire him. He was despised and rejected by men, a man of sorrows, and familiar with suffering. Like one from whom men hide their faces he was despised, and we esteemed him not. Surely he took up our infirmities and carried our sorrows, yet we considered him stricken by God, smitten by him, and afflicted. But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon him, and by his wounds we are healed. (Isa. 53:1-5) Yes my brothers and sisters, our Jesus Christ, who went through the most deepest suffering, physical, soul and spirit. Why, to give us life and to do what His Father requested, so he not only gave his life for all of us so we could have life and peace and health and prosperity, and if he didn’t ascend to the Father afterward we would not have the Holy Spirit to guide us and teach us, and to mark the way for our lives, we who are the suffering ones who are in a class all our own, basically it is a new reform of Christianity, it is not Pentecostal it is not charismatics, etc. we are standing in a class or for the “religious leaders” a denomination, or must I say no denomination all our own. Denominations are just a nice word for division, so if we are apart of the body of Christ, the church, the bride, we will not have any divisions amongst us, so that there may be no division in the body, but that the members may have the same care for one another. And if one member suffers, all the members suffer with it; if one member is honored, all the members rejoice with it. Now you are Christ's body, and individually members of it. (1Cor. 12:25-27) We are not going to make any change, God is, and we are just going to follow the gifts, the fruits and the leading on pure faith with hearts of Christ and the direction of the Holy Spirit. I like the way a man just came out with a book called the crucified ones, we are the ones that have to go through great amounts of suffering to become more like Christ, to have the understanding like Christ, and to feel pain not as bad as Christ but we all are suffering on this planet differently, at all different times and places. We are being molded refined and purified, to tell you the truth a lot of us right now are very sick, and only the Lord can heal us and bring us back to life to help this planet before we get hit with a suffering that know one will comprehend, only bible book worms, and there are many of us that know and can feel the end times approaching. Remember the words in the bible are alive, and you can read over a chapter many times and go back to it and say I never even new that was there. So that is just a simple proof that the word is alive. I learned the word patience today who went through years of suffering, and patience is suffering without murmuring or complaining. But we know these things because God has revealed them to us by his Spirit, and his Spirit searches out everything and shows us even God's deep secrets. No one can know what anyone else is really thinking except that person alone, and no one can know God's thoughts except God's own Spirit. And God has actually given us his Spirit (not the world's spirit) so we can know the wonderful things God has freely given us. When we tell you this, we do not use words of human wisdom. We speak words given to us by the Spirit, using the Spirit's words to explain spiritual truths. But people who aren't Christians can't understand these truths from God's Spirit. It all sounds foolish to them because only those who have the Spirit can understand what the Spirit means. We who have the Spirit understand these things, but others can't understand us at all. How could they? For, "Who can know what the Lord is thinking? Who can give him counsel?" But we can understand these things, for we have the mind of Christ. (1Cor. 2:10-16) Your attitude should be the same that Christ Jesus had. Though he was God, he did not demand and cling to his rights as God. He made himself nothing; he took the humble position of a slave and appeared in human form. And in human form he obediently humbled himself even further by dying a criminal's death on a cross. Because of this, God raised him up to the heights of heaven and gave him a name that is above every other name, so that at the name of Jesus every knee will bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. (Phil 2:5-11) My heart is with you and my mind and spirit is in prayer for you, and we being the part of the body, can conquer anything with the help of our Lord,
After Jesus had finished speaking to his disciples, he looked up toward heaven and prayed: Father, the time has come for you to bring glory to your Son, in order that he may bring glory to you. And you gave him power over all people, so that he would give eternal life to everyone you give him. Eternal life is to know you, the only true God, and to know Jesus Christ, the one you sent. I have brought glory to you here on earth by doing everything you gave me to do. Now, Father, give me back the glory that I had with you before the world was created. John 17:1-5 CEV
This whole chapter is about Jesus praying for everyone, He starts out praying for Himself and then He prays for his disciples and then for believers and future believers. We understand that the whole chapter Jesus is explaining that the world is a whole battle ground for Satan and his agents, and the people that are chosen and saved are at war, which we have known for the last 2000 years, and I myself have felt many attacks, but I am still here and still alive and still pressing on to the mark of the upward call. We have to understand that Satan and his agents are provoked by sheer hatred and to destroy anything that formulates the union of God and His people. Then Jesus prays for his disciples and we all know that he was speaking to them not in plain format He was using a different form figuratively and it wasn’t simple enough for them to understand, but in the end of 16 and Chapter 17, He begins to speak very plainly so they all can understand, He was also praying for people who follow Him today, some people will disagree to the fact that is why some of the bibles are sectioned off, and some will say well He is only praying for His disciples here and He is only praying for believers here, well aren’t we all disciples of Christ, being taught and learning the ways and teachings of Christ, this prayer covers a lot of bases and we should listen and read it. Here in this section He prays for the safety of the believers, from Satan’s power, in which I have used these scriptures myself many a time when I am under a painful attack, or last week when the whole house filled up with propane gas, and all I needed was a spark. Also He is praying that we all be set apart and making them pure and holy, plus uniting them with His truth. Plus then He goes into the eternal life explanation, so that we do know the Father God through the Son, our Jesus. Plus we know eternal life is more than saying the sinners prayer, although some today seem to have said well I have said the sinners prayer so I am saved, eternal life is just a bit more than saying the sinners prayer, it is a relationship, a personal one, where you share you heart with God and Christ. It gets to a point that you can’t do anything before you talk to God, and get his views and interest, lets say just putting a new blender together, there has been many a time I tried to fix something and it didn’t come out like I planed it to, because I didn’t pray and cool my jets and slow down and have the Holy Spirit direct me in whatever it may have been. Plus we do have to admit our sins on a regular basis, and repent and turn away from what ever it may be. We have to understand that Christ’s love lives in us by the aid of the Holy Spirit. Remember Jesus was in heaven and had to leave to be a servant on earth and in this prayer He is asking the Father if when this whole thing or whole plan is over, He was asking the Father if He was going to return to His original place of honor and authority. We do know when Steven (Acts 7:56) was stoned that he prayed but as everything was coming down and he was close to death he shouted that he saw Jesus standing in the place of honor at God’s right hand, and we also know the scriptures in (Phil. 2:9-11) that God confirmed it about how every knee shall bow and every tongue will confess that Jesus is Lord. Remember the most important thing before Jesus came to the earth; He was one with the Father. One more thing we have to ask our selves do our lives reveal Jesus’ character and presence, which is very important if we are children of God heading for eternal life.
You have given me some followers from this world, and I have shown them what you are like. They were yours, but you gave them to me, and they have obeyed you. They know that you gave me everything I have. I told my followers what you told me, and they accepted it. They know that I came from you, and they believe that you are the one who sent me. I am praying for them, but not for those who belong to this world. My followers belong to you, and I am praying for them. All that I have is yours, and all that you have is mine, and they will bring glory to me. Holy Father, I am no longer in the world. I am coming to you, but my followers are still in the world. So keep them safe by the power of the name that you have given me. Then they will be one with each other, just as you and I are one. While I was with them, I kept them safe by the power you have given me. I guarded them, and not one of them was lost, except the one who had to be lost. This happened so that what the Scriptures say would come true. John 17:6-12 CEV
One more thing we have to ask our selves does our lives reveal Jesus’’ character and presence, that is very important if we are children of God heading for eternal life. Also in Jesus’ prayer He was asking that his disciples to be at one with the Father and united in harmony and love, he also mentioned not one would be lost except the one that was headed for destruction. Our next factor is joy the closer we are to Christ the more joy we experience, unless we are going through the fire or a purification process, but we all know Jesus is our Joy. So even when we feel like we are going to be hurt God steps in and gives us that special care and protection even victory when we need it, but things like that may take a lot of patience.
I am on my way to you. But I say these things while I am still in the world, so that my followers will have the same complete joy that I do. I have told them your message. But the people of this world hate them, because they don't belong to this world, just as I don't. We also understand that the world will hate us, our views on life are far different from the world, and we don’t just join up with the sin of the world we are set apart from the world and its lusts. We have to remember the actual world; the sin of the world is being run by Satan.
Father, I don't ask you to take my followers out of the world, but keep them safe from the evil one. They don't belong to this world, and neither do I. Your word is the truth. So let this truth make them completely yours. I am sending them into the world, just as you sent me. I have given myself completely for their sake, so that they may belong completely to the truth. John 17:13-19 CEV
A believer or a follower of Chirst becomes pure and holy through obeying and believing and studying the word of God. We also know whoever it may be that a Christian has already accepted forgiveness through Christ’s sacrificial death. But we must understand that we are to be in that word understanding it and living it, and even doing the word, plus we gain so much wisdom from the word, it directs us, shows where sin is stagnant and to stay away from evil or we could say shun evil, and concentrate on taking the right path (Matt. 7:13-14) and refreshes our relationship with Christ. You see Jesus didn’t ask God to take believers out of the world, they are so much needed in the world, and we all have jobs to do, maybe to save souls, write Christian music, build a church, or just be a witness at our normal jobs. Remember we are the salt and light of the world to help this immorality in the world without us Christians, I believe the world would already be a wasteland.
I am not praying just for these followers. I am also praying for everyone else who will have faith because of what my followers will say about me. I want all of them to be one with each other, just as I am one with you and you are one with me. I also want them to be one with us. Then the people of this world will believe that you sent me.
Jesus prayed for all who would follow Him, He prayed for unity protection from the evil one, holiness, and to be at one together with God, Christ and the Holy Spirit. And if we are one with the most powerful beings of the universe it should give us strength, confidence and power as we work together for His kingdom. So we have to ask ourselves are we helping to unify the body of Christ, the church. Are we sharing our gifts that have been distributed by the Holy Spirit to help one another?
I have honored my followers in the same way that you honored me, in order that they may be one with each other, just as we are one. I am one with them, and you are one with me, so that they may become completely one. Then this world's people will know that you sent me. They will know that you love my followers as much as you love me. John 17:20-23 CEV
Jesus prayed that we would all help each other pray for one another, communicate to one another to have fellowship with one another that is how we grow. Jesus prayed that we would edify and send each other our Christian love, and be united with a bond of peace and sincerity, and share what we had with on another, if we see someone hurting we help them, there should not be any divisions over a poor man or a rich person or where they live or what they look like we are all one and living and working together with humility of mind giving up our time and what we have to share with each other. If we are living in union with God we should be living and working together in the beautiful realm of Christianity. This prayer is what Christ prayed for 2000 years ago, so are we still Christians, are we the bride of Christ, are we living in union with the vine?
Father, I want everyone you have given me to be with me, wherever I am. Then they will see the glory that you have given me, because you loved me before the world was created. Good Father, the people of this world don't know you. But I know you, and my followers know that you sent me. I told them what you are like, and I will tell them even more. Then the love that you have for me will become part of them, and I will be one with them. John 17:24-26 CEV
May God himself, the God who makes everything holy and whole, make you holy and whole put you together--spirit, soul, and body--and keep you fit for the coming of our Master, Jesus Christ. The One who called you is completely dependable. If he said it, he'll do it! Greet all the Christians there with a holy embrace. The amazing grace of Jesus Christ be with you! Amen.
"I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener. He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit he prunes so that it will be even more fruitful. You are already clean because of the word I have spoken to you. Remain in me, and I will remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me.
"I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing. If anyone does not remain in me, he is like a branch that is thrown away and withers; such branches are picked up, thrown into the fire and burned. If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be given you. This is to my Father's glory, that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be my disciples.
"As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Now remain in my love. If you obey my commands, you will remain in my love, just as I have obeyed my Father's commands and remain in his love. I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete. My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends. You are my friends if you do what I command. I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master's business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you. You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you to go and bear fruit—fruit that will last. Then the Father will give you whatever you ask in my name. This is my command: Love each other. John 15:1-17 NIV
My dear brothers and sisters I cannot end things this way, this is my backyard I am about to lose, please turn your bibles back to John 15
Jesus is the true vine and we must be always within the vine or we will break off and die. Jesus is preparing his Disciples for His long speech that ends in His famous prayer to the Father that we just went through. It is a life giving speech and Jesus starts out speaking figuratively then He turns into plain language. We have to remain and attached to Christ, otherwise the moisture from the vine will not come into us, then we will break off and die and simply put, end up in hell. We also have to understand that Jesus is the vine but God is the farmer who tends to the branches so we can all produce good fruit. I can almost walk into a church building and see the fruits that are growing in each person. I would be a great personal director for a large corporation because I would know who wants to work and who does not. Who is going to be a problem and who is not, who is going to lie and who is going to be truthful. Anyway, we must understand the more we are attached to Christ, the more we will bear fruit and the healthfulness of the fruit itself also. You may have a lot of fruit, but just as the seasons change a person can change, in other words, people can gain much fruit but it can turn into bad fruit through sin, lying, breaking away from God and Christ, evil thoughts, and hurting people.
I mean you can be a wonderful Christian, processing good fruit and then you can go destroy another Christian’s life. Your fruit will wither and fall off. You can make various mistakes, do various sins, you can become totally unproductive, turn away from Christ or your brother and sisters. We have to be conscious Christians so much of others feelings if you cannot keep your word, you might end up making a brother or sister stumble, you could very easily be cut off and tossed aside. Those are the Christians I feel sorry for, especially the ones that are chosen to edify others or are apart of Christian leadership. I myself have to watch what I say and do, I cannot sit up and watch T.V. and drink beer and have the boys over for poker and gambling, that is why maybe I am alone, not that I would even think of living that lifestyle. I have my conversations with the members and friends I pray for, ministries and many other people daily talking about Christ or the Word. That is very fulfilling for me and that same time maybe I can edify or just help someone get through their day. That alone is such an awesome gift from God. Who needs the other sinful things. Well, that is another sermon. The Prayer Ministry satan wants to destroy because I connect with so many people every night and write full page prayers for them. So, I am trying in everyway I can to be productive with the strength I have and I do not want to be unproductive. Remember, it is not just works, it is your faith in Jesus Christ that makes you bear the most fruit, and a relationship and sharing your life with Jesus.
More of my backyard they are selling
Next, we have to understand Jesus’ works about pruning. You can be cut off from the vine by the stock or the base or trunk and that is it. Remember, we are spirit? So do feel you are cut off forever, there is mercy and forgiveness and love that will bring you back to the vine. God is a merciful, God and a forgiving God, there would be an awful lot of dead branches lying around this planet who would get hard, brittle, and break when someone steps on them. I have to say, watch where you step in these end times. It is a shame there are so many dead, hard, not bendable branches around. Back to the subject at hand, we all need to be pruned just like any other bush or tree, our pruning is God disciplining us. God wants us to flourish, like take an orange tree for instance, some of the fruit will have seeds, some will have different signs of bitterness and some the juice will be dry, just like any person. You prune the orange tree not only do you get more oranges but they will be sweeter, plumper, juicier, and by chance fewer seeds. If I were an orange tree I would like to be healthy, but when the men come with the chain saws and the loppers and cutters, that can be a hurtful experience and many do go through trials like this daily. We have to understand God comes out everyday like for instance an analogy of some little old man with his hand held cutters and snips a little here, a little there everyday this way the tree builds character, beauty, standing strong, fullness like wholeness being strong enough to go through the wind, rain and the coldness of this world.
We need to be as close as possible to Christ, we have to maintain to be attached to the vine. We need that nourishment from the vine. If we try to do things on our own we will be unfruitful. We might excel in the world, but who would want that? We are bound for Heaven and eternity, this life on this planet is only a growing and pruning process, steps of trials and tribulations, going through temptations and seeing how we react under the bad weather. Our faith and loyalty to Christ is being tested. It is how we live, how we talk and how we think and dealing with others, not all people are going to be your friends only Christ is the truest friend. He is the one feeding us and God is making sure we grow. If we are successful with our relationship to Christ, we are nothing without the vine. When we then gain much beautiful fruit God gets the glory, remember the little man who goes out everyday with his hand cutters? He goes out and looks at his orange tree and feeds the neighbors with the fruit and is able to share his glorious work.
So, in another instance God is sending the rain the sunshine and the minerals in the dirt for all the crops to grow. He is nurturing every tiny plant to the largest tree and preparing it to blossom in complete fullness. So when the time is come for the harvest and God sees the crop get pilled and stacked into the barns, plump, healthy, and mature and ready for use. God makes all things happen and God Himself gets glorified, God is happy with His crops, “us”, you see God gets all the glory when we come into the right relationship with Him in our lives and we bear much fruit.
One more thing I would like to stress upon, let us say in the orange tree you might come across branches that have rot or bugs are living in the branches, this will infect the whole tree, so if a person has these qualities it must be cut down from the trunk of the branch and tossed away to be burned. We do not want our orange tree to get infected by a branch or a group of branches; those are dealt with to save the rest of the tree. I hope you all understand my analogy.
When Jesus talked about remaining in Me is a lot of details staying within the vine and being apart of the vine. We have to of course to believe in Him, we have to talk with Him, have a relationship with Him, We know He is our Lord and Savior, that is personal Lord and Savior and to the full understanding that He is The Son Of God. We have to do what God says, following the path of Jesus, studying the word, the more of the word we have in us, the more of Christ and The Father we have in us. Loving our neighbor as thyself and completely loving everyone to have the closeness of the mind of Christ and tenderness.
To live in Christ is a joy in itself Jesus promises us this if we are intertwined with His relationship we will experience joy that will be over flowing. We all have to understand that the more work we do for the Lord it is quite possible that we will go through a bit more of depressing states, this is the planet earth and we are not supposed to enjoy our lives here on earth, we are heaven bound. When we are living close to Christ nothing on this planet should phase our joy, Christ keeps us on the same plane of confidence whether we are in the valleys or the mountaintops. There does come sometimes when true Christians are doing much for the Lord, because they love others and feel they get there joy out of helping others, and they are spending hour upon hour to help people and keep the body firm and healthy, there are not laying down theirs lives for people, that would be the greatest love for a friend but you take these chosen people and they are doing more for people, and the body of Christ then the average Joe, and they are helping others on such a large scale even strangers. Now we have to examine this, these chosen few that are out there doing what ever possible for people and Satan is watching all of this going down for long periods of time. So the devil realizes well this one “focalize point Christian” needs to be taken out of the picture. I can destroy so many other Christian’s lives if I take this one crucial Christian out. As Christians we have to show true love to everyone we have to show sacrificial love, we need to listen, we need to help, and we need to encourage, edify and give to everyone. If I come across any of these chosen focal Christians I would do everything or anything in my power to help them with what ever they needed, prayers, my time, I would feel a lot better knowing I am helping hundreds of lives by helping this one "focalize point Christian". Now if we help these selected few we are helping the masses, so if we truly love someone we would lay down our lives for them. Jesus laid down His life for us, even more He went through more suffering then any one ever recorded in history. If I was more healthy I would be looking for these chosen focal Christians, remember Jesus called us friends and look what He did for us. I would be out there looking for these crucial point Christians that are trying to be murdered by evil. “Have you ever came across a person that says I don’t want to here any negative, all I want to here is the positive, it bothers me to here negative problems from someone, I have my own problems and I just don’t want to hear it, I don’t enjoy listening to it I just want to here positive things.” I can tell you that I have came across many. What do we call it that when we don’t want to listen to a tragedy from one of our brothers and sisters, or what they are going through? Haven’t you ever wanted to sit down with a friend and just open up and cry and get all that is bothering you out then let it eat up inside you? We do give all our problems to Jesus and the Father and we do talk in prayer and we do talk in the Spirit and express ourselves. There are times that you need a shoulder to lean on and a friend to get there opinion on things. That to is love, when someone wants to open up to you that means they trust you, for me when someone opens up to me I feel honored, and I want to listen. What do we pay big bucks to go sit down with a psychiatrist all they do is listen most of the time, and give you there opinion maybe. And they are not your friend, they don’t know you, and they might not even care. So let us say we have a focalize point Christian that is getting bombarded by every known way from evil and they have nothing else to say but negative thoughts or stories, do you tell them to just don’t talk. Now you just don’t want to here them talk negatively, and evil is trying to kill them. The next question are you going to take part in the devils scheme, by not loving your brother or sister and letting them feel worse off then they did before, and you are criticizing them on top of it, giving them the lecture about what you say is very important and how it interferes with your peace. Or the next thing would be that you would avoid them, and when that person so much wants to talk, you say I don’t want to hear it. You know we will all stand before Christ on judgment day. It just might come out that a bother or sister is out there helping people, truly loving others and praying for each and every individual, edifying, sharing scripture and showing others faith trust and belief in Christ, in so many large numbers, and the devil is out to kill them and they are going through one pain after another and you shut your ears to them, and they are probably to humble to even mention the good that they are doing and you don’t even realize what they are doing with their own lives and how many people they are saving, and giving love and compassion to. They are under so much attack that never comes out, because they are hurting so much and being pounded. Remember we are to love one another and I just want to say Christ loved us when we were still sinners and suffered and died for us. So we are to love one another no matter what the extremes. Remember the scripture in (Heb.13:2) Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers for by this some have entertained angels without knowing it. So keep a look out for these “chosen focal Christians”.
Dear Lord, we are at the end of this week please guard the truck that the body shop does not want to fix. Please Lord, help us with all the spiritual attacks. Please Lord, help us all with our health. Father thank You for giving me another week of life so I can preach and share. I ask the congregation for all their prayers and I plead for mercy and favor for this week. Lord please be very close to us all, please love and understand all the things that are happening to us all, please grant us favor and mercy. Please help all those that need housing, fresh water, and food. We all ask that we soon will all see Jesus, we are ready for Him, In His Name, Amen and Amen.
